Poorer people are not sending their children to private school
Anyone who actually needs the winter fuel payment will still get it - people who get pension credits for example. There are many pensioners getting winter fuel payments that are plenty well off and do not need the free cash, my Grandma is one of them. She will make a fuss about how she needs it but she is by far the most well off in our family.
Central funding for further education has been cut massively since tuition fees were increased, so they have had an overall reduction in income from teaching
I recommend you read Ian Gribbin’s comments, they’re in another league. I wouldn’t call the first comment about Jo Cox hate speech either, but it is certainly in poor taste.
Malcolm Cupis’s comments are pretty bad too
What this country really needs to do right now is make sure that children are as vulnerable to sexual abuse as they can possibly be. Without some level of sex education to teach them what is absolutely not okay for an adult to force them to do they won’t know that they should seek help and won’t know how to describe what’s happening if they do. Ideal for the paedophiles in power and their friends.

Why do Skodas have a heated rear windscreeen? To keep your hands warm while you push it.
(I’ve owned a few Skodas, they’ve all been good cars)
Angering the USB-IF
It doesn’t trigger the horn on UK cars, which I definitely appreciate. Although it was amusing to watch my partner jump every time I locked our hire car in the USA, the noise pollution is unnecessary.
Swapping my front brake calipers for the rebuilt ones I’ve had sat in my kitchen side for a couple months. I’ve been putting because I hate bleeding brakes but I’m fairly certain the car is leaking brake fluid now so it needs to be done.
Hopefully I will be able to do some magnet fishing tomorrow since the weather is so good and I haven’t been since the August bank holiday. Probably going to drive into Bristol again and see if the bridge by castle park is a good spot. If the jetty is anything to go by I should get some stuff, but hopefully fewer nos cartridges.

I have prime until they bring in ads, and I’m using Apple TV+ but I have near enough a year of free trials through a credit card, buying an LG TV and my phone network provider. I use my cousin’s Disney+, my partner pays for crunchy roll but I don’t know how much that gets used.
Apple TV+ is definitely worth it, even paying the subscription. I use Amazon enough that the free delivery is sort of worth it, but I can usually get things cheaper elsewhere now.
I use Plex and sail the seven seas for everything I currently can’t get on one of the services available to me, and I expect to go more this way in future as streaming services start taking the piss
Canadians are getting robbed. Roaming for me, if I travelled to Canada from the UK, would be £15 a month added to my plan, and I have one of the more expensive providers (EE). That’s with the same limits so like 200GB data.
Whenever I’m driving on a very straight road, I can be pretty certain that it was built by the Romans and is still used to this day
When is independence day?
Magnet fishing.
I bought a kit that included a reasonably sized 360° magnet, rope, grappling hook and protective cover for about £120 thinking that it would be good enough to keep me satisfied for a while.
After my first trip out and having to carry a load of scrap metal about a mile back to the car, I bought a cart for £80 so I could cart it all back instead. After having to use my car to pull my magnet out of the harbour on Saturday I’ve bought a cheap winch and a tow rope to anchor it to things for £25 for when it gets stuck somewhere I can’t use my car.
And of course I wanted a bigger magnet almost immediately, but I’ve managed to hold off on that so far. Saying that it’s fairly likely I will get an upgrade from Bondi magnets when the site launches as long as the price is competitive with Magnetar (I suspect it’s a partnership and the magnets will be identical, but we’ll see)
You’re welcome, thanks for being interested! If you happen to be interested in seeing some finds or just generally hearing more about magnet fishing, I’ve started posting in a (very small, but I hope it will grow) community here !magnetfishing@feddit.uk
The one I have has a 600kg pull force, but I would like a stronger one. Obviously you have to be able to pull whatever gets attached to it off, which sometimes needs a good yank. It’s not particularly heavy, maybe 1kg. Usually I just stick it in a bucket attached to the rope, but I keep it in the polystyrene and box it came in when it’s at home or if I’m travelling far. The only danger having it in the car is it sticking to it, but that’s easily avoided. Takes a good yank to get it off if it does get stuck to a piece of steel as large as a car body though.
Electronics are never really a concern, the only thing the magnet is likely to come close to is my phone but I try to remember to not have it in my pockets while magnet fishing, and that’s really because I don’t want to drop it in the water. Fixed magnets have to move over a conductor to induce a current, and it would be quite small I think. The electomagnet in that breaking bad episode is very large, probably with a pull force magnitudes higher than a fishing magnet, and I can’t speak for the shows accuracy (I don’t actually remember what they used it for now).
The first game I have a memory of playing is Sonic 2 with the Knuckles cartridge you could piggyback it on, so I guess that, but I was young so it could have just been the most memorable. I remember playing Earthworm Jim around the same time but having no idea how to play it.
Full time where I work is 37 hours a week with a 5 hour Friday. I’ve asked for a 4 day week by splitting those 5 hours over the other 4 days but have been refused. This seems to be about giving workers the right to request this arrangement, it shouldn’t force anyone to do it if they are happier sticking with their current 5 day week.
