I've found the metal ones are ok as the case acts as a heat sink but that's probably only any good if there's clear air around it.

Saying that, most of mine are actually ex small office ones which are probably a bit more robust.

Any recommendations for a carpenter in north london (tottenham/haringey) to do a fairly small job? Been struggling to get anyone to commit. Need a bit of rotten door frame chopping out and a new bit splicing in.

In the big football news of yesterday, Burnley scored this thunderbastard whilst Norwich players briefly forgot they were at a football match

So, dry brining, aka rubbing in salt.

Considering this for my turkey this year. Looks like it is really a matter of rubbing salt all over and leaving it overnight in the fridge. How do people deal with having an uncovered lump of poultry in the fridge from a contamination point of view? Are sea salt flakes the equivalent of kosher salt over here? Is it really the case that it doesn't taste salty even though you don't wash the salt off?

Also, I'm considering spatchcocking the turkey so could be the impetus to finally get some poultry shears, any recommendations that aren't hugely expensive?

A magsafe case and wireless chargers is what I use for charging 99% of the time.

Haven't had to pluck any fluff out of the charging port since.

Companies can be fined up to £18 million or 10 percent of their qualifying worldwide revenue, whichever is greater.

I imagine the first part could be avoided be setting up as a limited liability company.

Criminal action can be taken against senior managers who fail to ensure companies follow information requests from Ofcom. Ofcom will also be able to hold companies and senior managers (where they are at fault) criminally liable if the provider fails to comply with Ofcom’s enforcement notices in relation to specific child safety duties or to child sexual abuse and exploitation on their service.

This is obviously more concerning although it isn't really clear what the responsibility is and it seems OFCOM haven't really decided yet either. I guess more will become clear in the new year when they launch the guidance tools for small companies but I can see why velocio may not want to bear this risk.

I'm not sure if the irony in googling it is intentional or not.

The potential buyer should make that a pre-condition of any offer.

They very possibly shouldn't, pretending nothing has happened (not even contact) until after the contract with the estate agent is terminated may be a better route depending on what the vendor/agent contract says.

Doubt it. The website says it is legal to own in the UK but says there are different rules for carrying in public.

I never particularly rated Badenoch but she has been really bad since taking over. She is terrible at PMQs and doesn't seem to realise that shtick like sandwiches are for wimps, I get someone to bring me a steak for lunch, aren't going to help connect with people.

I like these Hafele ones. Take a bit of accurate measuring but easy enough to do with a drill and gives you the flexibility to move them (although I never have moved any of the various ones I've done with them).

Fair point, but the 2kw fan heater probably overshot the temperature rather than the slow increase from the 700w so more cost-effective may be a better phrasing.

How does a fan heater compare to those oil filled radiators? It's for using to take the edge off the cold when I'm working from home, so just me in one room with the door shut.

I got a little 700w radiator. Brought my office room up by about 3 degrees in an hour of full on, assume it will start to click on and off after that. In the bigger living room it has brought it up by about 1 degree in an hour (but the thermostat is the other side of the room) but assume that once the proper heating clicks on that should help it get up to temperature.

700W at 24p/kwh is 17p per hour which seems pretty reasonable.

It doesn't give the quick blast of heat that a fan heater does but they seemed much less efficient.

Ah, I was thinking he meant using the BTC to place the bet.

This is just spread betting. It's legally tax free but you can't offset losses so you need to be confident of something increasing beyond the offered spread.

There are plenty that offer this for shares, markets, etc but I don't know of any that do it for crypto.

Not sure how this would work. You'd be crystallising the gain when you place the wager and CGT would become due at that point.

You need a switch. Plug your cable into it and then other cables to wherever you need them.
This kind of thing

Red Bull started the serious multi club ownership model which has really helped to fuck up football ownership.

What's the firm policy on Chat GPT?

Ours is a blanket cannot use public Chat GPT due to security and confidentiality risks which would make the conversation pretty easy.

Obviously build one out of a Raspberry Pi, a replacement laptop screen and a photo frame. Then simply remotely tunnel to the Pi to add whichever pictures you want.

Which reminds me, I should really get that Raspberry Pi, replacement laptop screen and photo frame out of the box in the loft where they have been for the past five years ...

The radiators look pretty big compared to the fan heater. Is there some mid sized option?

I assume it would mean that all existing encryption could be trivially broken, which seems like an issue.

He said he was using Waze, but also said he was headed from his parent's house to his girlfriend's house 🤔

I use sat nav for a route I've driven/cycled thousands of times. There's always roads closed, delays, etc

Didn’t get details, but the crossing is a death trap (literally, I think an old guy was killed by a bus there recently) and should be light controlled. So who do I get in touch with about that?

The relevant local councillor is probably your best bet.

It's been going on along that stretch of the A10 for a good few years. Not sure why there, seems to be a combination of the big retail centre car parks and the dual carriageway (although it's a 30mph limit and loads of speed cameras now).

When I first joined them I was meant to get some £100 referral bonus. Never happened despite multiple calls/emails with them where they assured me it was sorted.

Now my contract has expired and the price increased. Called them and agreed a new contract at a reduced price (nothing complicated, just the price on the website).

Again, multiple calls and emails where they have no idea what is going on, assure me it's sorted and then next call starts from square one again.
