“QUICK LOOK OVER THERE AT THOSE PROBABY SEX CRAZED PEDO TRANS PEOPLE, and certainly don’t look over here at these actually sex crazed GOP friendly pedos …”

That looks about as infuriating as the imperial system …

I wonder who they plan on replacing the teachers with if they fire them given part of the reason the teachers are striking is a lack of teaching staff to fill available positions …

Give or take a few Texans …

Well that’s terrifying, 1 Argentina is 4 Texases

Do we just switch to Texans at that scale? So like 6 Texans?

Isnt “one Texas” one of the standard nonsense units used in the United states? Why aren’t they using that? Or can they only use it when it’s 1, 2, 5 or 12 texases and otherwise it’s Argentina’s?

I don’t think it’s that suitable alternatives that could make a lot of headway into limiting the problem dont exist, it’s more that a lot of people are making a lot of money from the status quo and have a vested interest in ensuring the status quo remains. You can bet your bottom dollar that if those people had found a way to continue the gravy train with the alternatives then they would. Eventually they are going to have to consider that if society collapses due to their actions that the currency they are accumulating will be worthless without the societies that dictate its value. I don’t think that will happen until we start seeing some of the climate change chickens come home to roost. It’s going to be unpleasant for a lot of people and might be too late.

The average tells us quite a lot. It shows that overall, year on year temperatures across the entire planet are increasing, whether it’s winter or summer. Like you say the impacts of that are higher spikes in more places every year and those spikes are lost from the data, but the average is valuable aswell. Because of the scale, and the fact that it’s including winter for half the planet, 1 degree change in the average is pretty crazy.

Yeah that was my thought, turns out the land water ratio in the northern hemisphere is 2:3 while it’s 1:4 in the southern hemisphere

Interesting that despite it still being summer and roasty toasty in the southern hemisphere in January, the world average temp is still lower than the northern hemisphere summer.

If the number of electrocutions per capita are the same then it’s clear the fuse is doing nothing. The only reason to keep it is if you don’t trust your domestic network, specifically the protection systems provided. If they are to code then why waste your manufactures time, and the time and space of your users continuing to require them.

My argument isn’t born from patriotism, it’s frustratration at years of having to use an inferior product only to have someone claim it’s not only great but the best. Well, it’s not the best, far from it, but at the end of the day I don’t think I’ll ever live in the UK again so shrug have fun with your garbage connectors =)

Thanks for posting this, but I have some notes.

His first point is nonsense. The holes are big enough for a screw driver full stop. If I have two screw drivers then I can shock myself. Not only that, its a guaranteed shock because I’m now making a perfect path to earth. Simple fix: dont make the holes big enough for screw drivers. UK plugs are even worse than yankee plugs for this. Aussie plugs fix this problem.

Aussie plugs cover the second problem. The letter nonsense is nonsense. The fuse is dumb, as above, FIX YOUR DAMN HOUSE WIRING. The last bit about your plug falling apart is classic British ideology, stop building things that fall apart.

Its clearly better than EU or yankee plugs, but thats not a great selling point when its still garbage.

Ergh english AC plugs are garbage, built in 13A fuse? Fix your damn power network, Australian plugs are easily better.

Does profile transfer even matter?
