Yeah, we need electoral reform first 🙁

Thanks, that should do the job!

Took me a little while to find it as the brushes needed swiping to get the block on screen - it didn't look like there were any extras.

This is nice! I've replaced some little tools with this. What it can't seem to do though is pixelate a specified area of an image, unless I've missed how to do that? It only seems to do the whole image.

Not really. Only the odd thing on a brand's app, which isn't really comparable.

Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.

 

Simple roll and move game, the link contains the English translations.

Somebody's been recording home movies!

 

The UK government has agreed to take control of the National Grid unit tasked with keeping the lights on in a £630m deal that takes effect from next month.

Great Britain’s electricity system operator (ESO) will be transferred into public ownership to create a new national energy system operator (Neso), which will also oversee the gas system.

The government hopes that by bringing together the separate units involved in planning Great Britain’s electricity and gas networks under one publicly owned company, the system operator can adopt a more strategic approach to achieving a net zero energy system by 2030.

[...]

The decision to remove the ESO from National Grid’s ownership was made under the previous Conservative government because of concerns over a conflict of interest relating to the operator’s role providing strategic advice to government officials. The deal was expected to take place in July this year but it was delayed until 1 October because of the general election.

So this was going to happen anyway?

It looks a bit too defined to be a mountain peak, although it seems a logical suggestion. Anyway, I enjoyed this bit:

In July retired chef Richard Grieve said that he had worked with the two hikers who took the Calvine pictures at a hotel in Calvine, and that a few days after the sighting a "dark car" allegedly pulled up and two people dressed in black suits emerged, to have a "chat" with the two men.

He recalled that they were "visibly shaken" by the approach and their behaviour changed with them often not turning up for work and one began drinking heavily.

(just re-posting from the other thread - so ignore if you've already read!)

It's a TRV head. You can unscrew it with the ring under the black area - may need an adjustable spanner to loosen. When you take it off, see if the rotation works and that the pin inside moves up and down. You can also check the metal pin/valve where it attaches isn't stuck (it may need quite a bit of force to check - could need whacking with a hammer if it's actually stuck). If everything seems OK, re-attach the head and see if it's working. If it isn't, new heads are cheap. What you have looks like what I have - cheap generic TRV heads, easy to find online.

The BBC has ordered a second series of Lucia Keskin’s Things You Should Have Done.

Over six new half-hour episodes, her useless character Chi will continue to navigate her way through the titular list left by her late parents as she is finally forced to fend for herself.

Keskin, who also created and writes the show, said: 'The BBC gave us the devastating news that we have to go again for series two,which means I might actually have to work again. Gutted"

A tram in Istanbul which went down a very busy street...
