@agile_phil is planning on illegally using EVSE not MID/MIR approved to cap charging to 6 hours and to apply 2 different electric prices to charging during off-peak periods using the EVSE as an illegal sub meter. @g__j needs to answer for it @ofgem octopus.energy/blog/intellige…

Seriously @Popeyes, this is a new low.

@GermanyinPAK Ah yes, many new wives.

No one should be left alone on Eid. I shared the spirit of Eid ul Adha by purchasing sacrificial animals for the guards outside our embassy, many of whom are living far from their families, so they too could celebrate and share the joy of Eid. #EidMubarak to all💐

@The__Goomba I met someone recently who pronounced it war chester shyer

One random thing I think Americans do to piss us off is butcher the pronunciation of “Shire” in our place names while only ever saying it correctly in their state of New Hampshire. A low stakes conspiracy.

@trashjuicecube Nah, they do, it's just under current regs they have to be installed with the cooling function disabled

Are you telling me these people have heat pumps without reversing valves? What the fuck is wrong with them?

@ukhomeoffice That's 10000 in 2 years, but 1000s arriving every few days. It's a drop in the ocean, useless asshats.

Nearly 10,000 foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK since July 2024 - up 36% compared to the previous 21 months. That includes nearly 100 murderers, 600 sexual offenders and hundreds of violent offenders, alongside thousands more convicted criminals.

@British_4Ever @Keir_Starmer Yeah, fuck off.

@Keir_Starmer Oh would you fuck off, you fucking allow Muslim rape gangs to be around as long as you get votes you traitorous piece of shit.

On Eid al-Adha, I send my warmest wishes to all those celebrating across the UK and around the world. At this special time, I wish you and your loved ones peace, joy and good health. May Eid bring comfort and inspire us all to continue standing together in the spirit of unity and mutual respect. Eid Mubarak.

@MaidenHasegawa Bollocks. It can be used all year round, providing efficient heating during winter.

Not everybody can afford AC (£200+ for portable and over £1.5k for permanent AC). Many people here think it’s too much money to drop on something that will only be used a quarter of the year. If you live here, you should know we have a cost of living crisis- (1/3)

@Agriculfuture Let's build a ceiling, on top of the existing ceiling.

Why do people in Pakistan use gypsum fiber stripes for ceilings?

@russellcrowe Well done Russell. Too much skullfuckery on here.

Clickbait. Everybody got their autograph and selfie, the passage to the hotel was kept free for guests, and I still got to the airport on time. One man, no security. Handled. What’s your problem ?

@xXxXxX419666 @NonsenseParser @TIMBO_SL1CE Also wrong. It provides cooling during summer, heating during winter. Insulated homes work better because it prevents heat creep outside to in during hot days, and prevents losing heat during winter. I know, because I did it. So, you comment aside, you clearly know dick.

@ILikeBurgerSauc @NonsenseParser @TIMBO_SL1CE thats still wrong, heating would not be affective because it will make the homes keep in too much heat, which will lead to the inside being the surface of the sun and the outside the back arse of neptune

Why are people from the UK so smug that they refuse to embrace AC.

@NonsenseParser @TIMBO_SL1CE You don't rip out existing, this goes in, in addition to existing. In the UK it's also relatively cheap due to government green incentives because of the heating aspect. I know, because I did it. So, you comment aside, you clearly know dick.

@ILikeBurgerSauc @TIMBO_SL1CE Even if that was true, which it isnt due to how older homes were built. People on average don't have the money to rip their entire heating system and replace it with an AC, like they're changing a light bulb. Sucking up to ignorant lazy Americans is quite pathetic also.

@grok @teagantapes Well, that goes to show how much I know and how often I've used this.

@TheActualCrunch @54JohnBull Not with these, they have 3 pin plug.

@54JohnBull Not to mention, you'll also need a qualified electrician to install a new fuse, (and a new fusebox, if you don't have room for the fuse), and a heavy duty 240V power point for each unit, with weatherproofed fittings.

Basic split AC units are not outrageously expensive but there are extra costs because of stupid UK legislation. In Africa the man Kwami from down the road will install it for £20 and gas it up. In the UK it has to be installed by a registered gas fitter adding several hundred pounds to the cost. In the UK you also can't install it if you live in an apartment building due to noise regulations and leasehold stipulations.

@54JohnBull The easyfit units use propane thus does not require an engineer. I bought one, installed myself and works a treat. Just be sure to follow the instructions.

@NonsenseParser @TIMBO_SL1CE You are unfortunately, wrong. AC doesn't just cool, it provides heating as well, quite efficiently also with a coefficient over 4 usually, means for every unit of electric you get 4 times the heat out usually making it cheaper than gas heating with the right electric tariff.

@TIMBO_SL1CE Because its rarely hot enough to need one would the be the main reason. Why are Americans so dumb, lazy and ignorant to assume everyone needs an AC? The whole world isn't as stupid as Americans and their need to spend money on stuff that isn't needed.

@AlexBallingerMP Literally fuck all difference.

Take a look at how this Labour government is tackling the cost of living. Real change, that makes a difference to real families.

@MediaSOI Fucking disgusting

Fuck off

@Jvnior @BasilTheGreat Halal is cutting the throat and letting the animal bleed out, suffering in the process. It's a cruel, vile process and I hope it's banned in this country.

@BasilTheGreat So you WANT to TORTURE the animals that you eat? Halal means animal cruelty-free.

The halal food you serve

@aakashgupta 3 unit AC system installed for £3500 - worth every penny.

Fewer than 5% of homes in the UK have air conditioning. And British houses were specifically engineered to trap heat inside. Thick masonry walls, low ceilings, minimal ventilation. When a heatwave hits London, those homes become brick ovens that hold temperature for hours after the sun goes down. A fan pushes air that's the exact same temperature as the room. The cooling happens at your skin. Sweat absorbs roughly 2,400 kilojoules per liter when it evaporates, and airflow velocity across the skin surface determines how fast that evaporation happens. More air movement, faster evaporation, more heat pulled from your body. The bladeless design multiplies this. A small motor in the base pulls air through asymmetrically aligned impeller blades and forces it through a narrow slit shaped like an aircraft wing. Two fluid dynamics principles take over from there. Inducement: the accelerated air creates low pressure behind the output slit, pulling room air through behind it. Entrainment: air surrounding the edges gets dragged along in the same direction. The output is roughly 15 times the volume of air the motor originally pulled in. The horizontal mode is where the engineering gets clever. Tilted flat at bed height, it creates a continuous laminar sheet of moving air across your entire body surface simultaneously. Traditional oscillating fans hit you in pulses. Your skin's boundary layer, the thin film of warm humid air that clings to your body, reforms between each pass. Continuous horizontal airflow strips that boundary layer and keeps it stripped. Every square centimeter of exposed skin is evaporating at maximum rate, all night. Your body needs core temperature to drop about 1°C to initiate sleep. In a house designed to hold heat with no AC and ambient temps above 25°C, a horizontal air blanket across the bed is doing thermodynamically what a £10,000 AC installation would do. For about £150.
