It was supposed to be date night tonight (me cooking) but the missus is feeling poorly so it’s postponed. There is a gathering at the pub tonight so I might sneak along, but we have an early start tomorrow as we’re visiting my grandmother in North Wales…so might be better off flaking out on the sofa.

I’m still cooking. Fresh linguini, mussles, king prawns and squid to be washed down with a chilled Pouilly-Fumé. 👌

I use cash pretty much everyday. I purposely do so over contactless. Cash is freedom. Cash is anonymous. Cash is king. Don’t give up on it or you’ll be sorry when it’s gone.

On topic, I love the new coins.

I’m afraid that your partner has a coolant addiction and you need to get them checked into rehab.

On a serious note, perhaps sitting in traffic is causing the temp to increase and causing a leak. This would make me think perhaps the radiator fan isn’t working properly?

If its head gasket I would expect the loss to be consistent. If you open the rocker cover cap / oil filling point and it looks like there is Mayo in there, then it could be a sign the head gasket is failing.

It may not mean much but I am switching supplier away from them tomorrow. This is the company that was forcing their way into the homes of people on their arses and installing pre paid meters that cost much more per kwh, not to mention just how sickening this is - “heating or eating” should never have been a thing. Cunts.

But can they actually?

Part of me wants to despair at this. I feel like our government is just totally inept and everything is just bad news. There was even a report in the Times this week that Russian hakers are going to take the NHS down - and given the Horizon scandal where its proven we’ve repeatedly gone with the lowest bidder, it wouldn’t surprise me.

However, I like to think there is someone in charge of all this who properly has their shit together and is smirking at this thinking ‘come and have a go if you think your hard enough’

I once did some training at a highly sensitive UK site (mandatory for the clearance I needed) and during the course we were told in no uncertain terms China was relentless in their spying and attack attempts. This was around 15 years ago.

Agreed. I don’t want lemmy to turn into reddit, but we could do with more users for sure. I am guilty of not posting / commenting much.

It would have just been squandered elsewhere.

As someone who until reading this was almost totally ignorant about the status quo in Mexico City (other than secondary school lessons in 90s on the 1985 earth quake) I am aghast at their situation. Those poor people.
