There is another thing that I sometimes talk about on here, breathability.
You either need to prevent any moisture moving in any direction, or allow vapor to move with breathable materials.
Ones that allow water vapor to move, but not liquid water.

Older buildings, where the original materials were breathable, should ideally continue to use breathable materials. This prevents issues with water wicking through one old surface, then getting trapped behind another. It also removes the risk of damaged or badly designed vapor barriers allowing things through, as the materials themselves help get the moisture out as a passive action.

They’re also changing the way you get money after someone buys something.

eBay balance, apparently. So by default, when a transaction happens, the money stays in eBay, and you have to manually transfer it out, instead of scheduled timed payouts.

I can imagine that would have gone down well with Boris’ biggest fan base.

Followed swiftly by everyone else burying their faces in their palms, on both sides of the channel.

And probably everyone on the ground contracting covid during the raid for bonus “yes minister” points.

Jewish people were targeted in the Holocaust. The Nazis didn’t care about anything else.

I mean, they did target other people.

And also that you communicate that you’re aware what you’ve done, and how you’re going to continue.

I did it on mine, and said “I’ve just come off at the wrong exit, so I’m going to just continue along here.”
Examiner said it was OK, and just directed things back onto the route at the next junction.

“Odd, this saveloy is a bit rubbery”

Nice to see NC becoming involved with the board.

I don’t run that much z-wave due to cost, but I’m all for improvements and tighter integration.
Especially since when I do want to spend money, ZW works very well.

Kinda like the BeltBox, but less brightly coloured.

Building wide generating and averaging absolutely makes sense.

It needs tighter regulation though. As when you have apartments that are effectively tied to a provider, protections need to be in place to stop ridiculous energy price hikes and maintenance charges.

Or maybe something like this:

The unit with the buttons on is a simple relay, which hass can control to turn things on and off, and use a heating control with a temperature sensor.
But if you hit the button on the front, it also gives 30 minutes of on, which can be handy if the system had issues.

Or you could have a hass controlled relay, but also leave the old controller wired in on a manual switch.
So if there was a failure, you could go back to the old control by manually flipping it over.

I get timber/PIR/plasterboard from the builders merchant, and also take that plus garden waste to the tip, 10+ times per year, in a 4 seat car that weighs under 1 tonne.

Anything truly massive, they just deliver it to me.

The day I discovered that a 2.4m 6*2 would fit inside was a very good day.
As was the one I bought roof bars.

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.

This is an absolutely brilliant summary.

It’s getting to the point where the only saving grace for Tesco over Aldi is the delivery vans.

Here comes the next house price hike wave, then.

Nationwide are also launching deals under 4%.

Shipping people out of the UK to Australia?
That’d never work. You’d have to charge them at least ten pound.

The trick is to fit 9.5mm every time, until their partner asks if there is a way to make it stronger.

Then fit 2 layers of 15mm soundboard.

The great thing is though, it’s completely up to you to choose: If you want to carry a child to term, and have the requisite equipment, you can do so.
If someone else doesn’t want to, that’s their decision too.

That’s a pretty awesome idea, I’m not going to lie!
