HUH? CANT HEAR YOU, YOU’VE GOT TO SPEAK UP
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phoneEnglish10·5 days agoFor the people buying it, the product itself doesn’t matter. It’s got Trump’s name on it and the money they spend goes to him, so he can “own the libs”
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Coventry in the UK is trialing a tiny battery-electric single-car tram it calls the Very Light RailEnglish11·6 days agoIt’s cheaper, and quicker to set up is probabaly why. In theory once this is established, you can then add in the overhead and bigger trams if needed.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Ryanair to fine unruly passengers €500 or moreEnglish51·9 days agoKnowing RyanAir they’ll treat it like an extra. Taking too long to put your bag away, unruly, fine. Going to the toilet more than once, abhorrent, fine.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Football@lemm.ee•Football and other premium TV being pirated at 'industrial scale'English2·22 days agoI went on sky to calculate how much it would actually cost me for all sports packages and it was something like £85 a month. Considering you can pay £60 a year and get all games (including 3pm kickoff) it’s a no brainier really.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Thames Water fined £122.7m in biggest ever penaltyEnglish4·24 days agoEspecially as there’s no competition. At least then they couldn’t just put up bills to cover it as you’d just switch, like energy.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto UK Rail and Trains@feddit.uk•Lumo model train now available from HornbyEnglish1·24 days agoI’m not into model trains so I don’t know if this is right but £550 seems a bit steep. Is this normal?
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"English13·1 month agoWell guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Buy European@feddit.uk•Instead of just proposing replacements, what are some unique soft drinks from your country? This is chinotto, an Italian soda made with a citrus similar to bitter orange called chinotto4·1 month agoI’m not from Malta but when I used to go as a kid I always looked forward to drinking Kinnie. It had a weird, but nice, taste. For a time you could get it in the UK, but it’s not the same without the sun.
I’m not sure Jason would fit or agree to it, but I’ll give it a go

DrCake@lemmy.worldto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Wood-burning stoves to be allowed in new homes in England despite concerns7·2 months agoI did like the idea of getting a wood burning stove, but someone near us got one recently and the smell is so noticeable just walking around.
I’d rather not allow them back, but if it’s happening we need way better regulation. The minimum chimney height needs to be higher, and maybe also just ban above a certain density of homes.
The lever be slackin. Let’s get this over and done with
DrCake@lemmy.worldto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Nigel Farage thinks net zero is the new Brexit. Starmer can prove him wrong5·2 months agoI feel like focusing on the opinion polls at this minute is wrong. Reform will force this to be an issue and push climate skeptic propaganda heavily. Given 4 years of that, I can see the publics opinion shifting.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? April 226·2 months agoI’ve just finished The Rhine by Ben Coates, which was nice, made me really want to book a holiday and go do the same, traveling from Rotterdam to Basel.
I’ve also been playing a bunch of Assassins Creed Odyssey recently so thought I’d start reading Odyssey by Stephen Fry. Only just started so will see how it goes, but I’ve read the previous three and thought they were great.
Is it really a scam if I know exactly the issues with it and still build something with it? As with everything, if you know what your doing it great, if not, well you’ll have issues

Seems like why bother? I wouldn’t mind if they had an actual lower spec motor on the cheaper one.
DrCake@lemmy.worldto Buy European@feddit.uk•US company Strava takes over London-based service "Runna"101·2 months agoSuch a shame. Hopefully they run it in parallel and just add strava integration, but I doubt it. They’ll probably just port features into strava and let this rot
