Technically two?

Victoria, Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan and the new Piccadilly Line trains (due soon) all have regenerative braking. The rest will follow as new trains are procured.

As anyone who travels on the Victoria line in the summer will tell you: it helps, but not much.

I’ve been using this for a while now and the only thing I’ll say is that a lot of videos don’t have alternative titles, so since it’s all crowd sourced I feel that the best solution is to have more people using it.

Brilliant idea regardless.

I had one of those “fancy” Vodafone routers included with my broadband which had a stupid rule set on choosing the WiFi password. It’s my network, not yours, stupid router. It can be as insecure as I want.

Anyway the rules were enforced by the JavaScript so it was easy to bypass until I got my own router to replace it with.

The article says it needs the DIRIGERA hub, which also has a Matter/Thread radio

I hope they’re still Zigbee devices. No info I can find at the moment but I quite like that I can use Trådfri stuff with Zigbee2mqtt and I’d love to add more functionality

I have a UDR and it’s pretty great. I have had one unknown failure once, which needed a physical reboot. And that’s been in two or so years.

A few companies make reusable Brita cartridges which are designed to be taken apart. But I’m glad you found a way 😁

I went to a relatively central ish pub in London the other day in a somewhat touristy area (but by no means the most!). The card machine asked me if I wanted to give a tip when I was paying £13.75 (and I just checked this on my bank statement to be certain) for two pints.

When I said no (I just tapped the option on the card machine) - the bartender was visibly pissed and almost threw our drinks at us.

This is not the US. Tipping culture - especially when drinks are already that expensive can fuck right off. It would be slightly different if they’d brought the drinks to our table, I suppose…

Not sure what PoF is like these days but last I heard (a few years ago to be fair) they would ban you if you said you were polyamorous and point you towards Ashley Madison, since they were a little bit too religious to even be nice about it.
