Hey baby, are you a school? Coz I want to shoot kids in you

Still a tune though. Return of the Swollen Goat was loud enough to raise eyebrows on this afternoon’s drive through town. I got myself pretty well this morning with Stitched Up by Barbarian Hermit. I’ve had the whole album on repeat for the last few weeks though, so that’s not too surprising

Banger, tbf

This is the correct answer

Now that’s some nonsense, my mate’s kid still uses his, and he’s like 10

Yeah, that’s a low blow. Not a Walkman, not just a portable Cd player, a bloody mp3 cd with a remote on the headphones from 2002. Who are you calling old, eh? Kids these days have no respect

Because you could hardly walk, let alone run with one if you actually wanted to enjoy the music

Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.

I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something

No, fuck off, how very dare you suggest such a thing you horrid bastard you, just you wait, I’m going to punch you in the elbow and knock over your second-favourite house plant for insinuating such lies

Ha, no, just verbose

Wow. That’s a staggeringly apt update

I reckon we’d be doing even better if it was total renewables, we lean toward wind power more than most, what with being an island and all

I’m pretty impressed, considering both our land area and population, there’s about 40x more space in the us and another 240,000 or so people. China and the US are 3rd and 4th largest respectively in terms of land, 2nd and 3rd in population and 2nd and 1st by GDP

We’re 80th and 22nd in area and people, and while we’re 6th in global GDP, that’s still 1/10th of the US’s.
I’d like the square to be bigger, but the graphic would look a lot different if it was total renewable power, renewable as a percentage of total power, or even simply wind, as being an island we lean toward wind far more than China and the US. Maybe OP can give us those statistics as graphics?

I have one that’s preeeety close to stealing stuff from Star Wars, with the baddie, Phantor Gorth, occasionally turning up looking mighty like Darth Vader.
