No my point is, as a British person that uses the kettle A LOT we went out and bought one that heats up a single cup at a time, which is quicker than boiling a whole kettle.
I fill it up like a kettle and it has a little chamber underneath that it fills and heats, then the boiling water comes out of a spout into the cup.
After owning this type of kettle for over a decade I don’t think I can go back to a conventional kettle.

My budget-friendly solution has been to replace my ISP provided router with a 10 year old Netgear router that handles all the protocols my ISP does off eBay for £25.
I have a 4 storey townhouse so having this on the ground floor is useless when you’re on the top floor.
So I have a power line system installed which I’ve hooked into the modem. I’ve got a wired router in the front room that has all the front room tech worked in.
On the top floor I have an even older Netgear router a friend gave me, with OpenWRT installed plugged into the power line and running as an access point.
In total this whole system has probably cost me £80 to fully install as I was given the older Netgear.
Works beautifully, cost very little, and I’ve got a Guest Mode ap that turns on when I turn guest mode in Home Assistant, a simple “Hey Google turn on Guest mode”
When Britain’s prime minister, Rishi Sunak, stood in the pouring rain last week to announce a general election, there could hardly have been a less auspicious beginning to the Conservative Party’s campaign. In the space of a few days, it has gone downhill from there....
The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the Conservatives’ assessment of their tax plans “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”.
The letter from James Bowler, the Treasury permanent secretary, risks undermining Rishi Sunak’s claim in last night’s debate that Labour’s plans include £38bn of uncosted spending, which he says would mean £2,000 of tax rises per working household.
In a letter to Darren Jones, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Bowler writes: “As you will expect, civil servants were not involved in the production or presentation of the Conservative Party’s document ‘Labour’s Tax Rises’ or in the calculation of the total figure used … the £38bn figure used in the Conservative Party’s publication includes costs beyond those provided by the Civil Service”.
“I agree that any costings derived from other sources or produced by other organisations should not be presented as having been produced by the Civil Service,” he adds.
Ade and Rik worked by knowing what you could get away with – and then pushing the boundaries. I did have some problems with BBC executives at the end of the whole process, and had to cut a scene where Rik pre-ejaculates. Well, I didn’t cut it out, I just chose different shots so that you could see less of Rik.
Thing is the sugar tax seems to have done fuck all in changing the prices so sugar free options are cheaper. Whenever I look in the supermarket, Fanta and Fanta zero for example are the same price, which is just far more expensive than it used to be.
So tell me how the sugar tax has made it healthier? I’m just gonna buy the full fat one if it costs the same.
Are there still people around that mock the Nemos?
I mean I used to because they were posers, but then it was 20 fucking years ago and now it isn’t, and I have a “Spooky till I die” badge on my jacket.
To some of us it wasn’t a faze, it was just a step on the ladder to becoming awesome. Many fall off the ladder, hell a lot of people don’t even climb it, but those of us that do will rock until we die.
Haha yeah I’m certainly “Special” in my group of friends. We all go to the show but I make a mental note of where they’re all staying and getting myself to the front for a little bit.
I try and get all the up-close shots of the stage while I’m thrown around the pit, and like to throw my phone in the air like horns with my video camera going.
Then 10 minutes later when I’m sweaty and out of breath I go back to the pack and show em how sane they all are with the videos of the bedlam.
Then I stick around and protect the pack when it all goes a bit mental further back.
A lot of my people have chronic illnesses now so it’s nice for them to live vicariously though me. I get regular comments about “That time I watched you pirouette around the mosh pit like it was nothing” and I’m told it’s up there in theRe favourite memories.
So I’ll still get in the pit, it doesn’t just make me happy that I can still handle it, but it makes my friends happy that they have that mad friend that goes into the thick of it and comes out unscathed.
So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?
I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?
If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.
Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.
I call this feeling “The Holy Spirit” and no I’m not religious, hear me out.
So there’s “The Father” which is you, in charge of everything.
Then there’s “The Son” which is your Jesus, the bit of you that does shit mostly perfectly without any input from you. The scary example of this is when you drive to work and can’t remember the drive at all. Jesus Take the wheel. Teach your Jesus right and you can trust he’ll do things fine.
Then The Holy Spirit, which is that part of you that sees everything, before the filters are applied, and let’s you know something is off. There’s no obvious reason for it, but there’s something off about this guy and we need to get away from him as soon as possible and never interact with them again.
The Jesus part is the important bit for most of us. Learning to play the guitar? Teach your Jesus. When you’ve practiced enough you can just trust that Jesus will hit the notes while you concentrate on singing along.
When I learned to Juggle I just taught my Jesus how to throw properly so it lands in the other hand.
At work I teach my Jesus how to do the manual labour, do the checks I need to do, and I can concentrate on ripping on my work colleagues.
I have a boss at work. Not a Boss-boss, he’s a team leader, but he’s my boss.
Anyway he got 3 strikes for being a metal-head the other day:
Wallet chain - who the fuck still has a wallet chain? A metal head
Up close he has a hole in his lip - fucking lip piercing? Metalhead
So he asked me if I wanted to do any overtime on the weekend and I said casually “Nah, I’m going to see Tenacious D on Saturday” and got the reply “Yeah fuck that, I wouldn’t be working overtime if I was doing that!”
I already have motion sensors everywhere but I also have cats. They make it seem like there’s people wandering around the house all the time.
I’ve placed a lot of them on top of door frames that seem to miss the cats, but in the front room there’s sofas for them to climb up on which means they still get picked up.
I have also since this post purchased MMwave sensors. But they’re worse for picking up the cats.
So what I’m trying to do is add more sensors so HA has a better picture of who is in the house, and when.
To give you an idea, yesterday I took my wife to a Dr appointment, my kids are at their grandparents, but when I was sat on the car waiting for Wifey I noticed my kitchen lights were on in the app.
The Drs turned into the hospital and I was out for a good 4 hours, but got home and added “Is anyone home?” to my lights automations.
