And yet there was some legislation (to be fair, I think it was when the Tories were still in charge) which was trying to remove gender neutral facilities from (workplaces? Local government? Can’t remember)

What they need to do is fix the Equality Act.

This picture isn’t very clear, but I saw this similar coffee machine:

(if you can’t read it, the display says “poo”)

I’ve been using a “high endurance” card. These are the only ones SanDisk will do their guarantee for if you use them in a Pi.

He just waves a freshly minted 50 as he walks through passport control.

Yeah, it’s more about updating to the current emblems, which would happen anyway. Sounds like they are updating the passports and doing this at the same time. If the King was that bothered he would have made them change it when they altered the text from “her majesty” to “his majesty”.

Yes, of course!

This is what you get through HomeKit, there’s a lot more from the cloud but if you just want to control or monitor the temperature it’s sufficient:

The Tado works fine with Home Assistant. You can use the cloud interface or you can use HomeKit if you want to control it locally.

In my experience the Tado works really well, as it controls the boiler flow temperature rather than being just on/off when it reaches temperature. Just make sure you connect it for EMS - the instructions if you tell it you’re replacing an old thermostat sometimes say to connect it up with the relay input instead.

(Edit: AFAIK it doesn’t use ZigBee so the ZBDongle is irrelevant)

I’ve been putting food and water out for the local hedgehogs. We have had a constant stream of customers in the garden, can hear them rustling and munching overnight, and an increasing volume of food being eaten. Worried that the fence and gate (which is broken and usually - but not always - gets left open) might be obstructing their entry, I also made a hedgehog highway by cutting a bit of it away, further over away from the path. We have had instances of hedgehogs nearly been tripped over or trodden on as they have a habit of standing on the path! I’m trying to encourage them to use the hedgehog entrance to avoid that.

Jumpers.

In fact it was compulsory in Britain until the 1980s/90s. I’m not sure exactly when it changed, but the reason was due to different electricity companies having different sockets (and therefore plugs). It was standardised way before then, but I guess if that’s the way it has always been done nobody thinks of changing it.

I had a cheapo Chinese charger explode in the socket. It was indeed quite exciting.

If I had one I’d probably dedicate it to emulation.

But I have a MiSTer for that, so…

I welcome our new frog overlords.

In the 80s my uncle ran a shop. When we went to visit him once he produced these. I think that’s the only time I saw them.

There are some genuinely good bits. I like that it’s not just the same sketches every week (some sketch shows play a bit too heavily on the same characters/same jokes/catchphrase every episode). I’m only two episodes in though.

Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.

I have used off the shelf vegan mix. The one I had needed milk (substitute) added to it. Maybe you need to do that rather than add water?

You’re probably better off making the batter yourself. That’s what I do and they seemingly turn out perfectly every time (except the first one, which always breaks up and goes a bit wrong).
