Chuck some cheese sauce on that cauliflower, add some stuffing and we’re getting there…

Suddenly this hummus I’m eating for lunch doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Actually on that note, include some mustard in the cauliflower cheese pls.

Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by…

Oblivious fact: Me

Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.

Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

Yeah never got this. The nation’s favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn’t it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?

Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.

As of 2023, solar energy accounted for about 4.5% of China’s total energy consumption.

In 2024 solar energy could account for around 5-6% of China’s total energy consumption.

If they add another 170GW in 2025, the percentage could rise to approximately 6-7%.

They hope by 2026 solar will make up 8-9% of the total energy consumption.

If solar is the future then we are screwed because that isn’t fast enough growth… and that is without factoring in the rest of the world who will hit nowhere near those numbers.

2. Yeah good shout, I just know certain fans/pundits don’t like complicated rules so tried to keep it simple but your method is better.

3. Sorry, I think I was unclear… Above the end of the sleeve meaning on the sleeve is fine. I don’t think that’s the current rule as I’ve seen many recent decisions when they’ve given handball for the ball hitting the sleeve. If that’s not the case, I refer back to #1.

1. VAR has the potential to make the game much better. The refs’ interpretations of the subjective rules are the issue. The whole rulebook needs to be rewritten with the aim to eliminate grey areas.

2. Offside lines should be drawn from the back foot of the attacker. It was designed to stop goalhanging, not to penalise attackers who gain no advantage from being a centimetre offside.

3. This one I’m not even sure I agree with but here goes… Headers should be banned because repeated knocks to the head are not good. In exchange, anything above the sleeves of the shirt should not be classed as handball.

Whilst it’s true solar is growing, it is not likely to be the silver bullet you make out.

Another way to look at the source you linked is that despite the ongoing climate catastrophe the US is still planning to add 4% more fossil fuel sources to their grid next year.

It also leaves out the fact that 84% of the current US power is generated by fossil fuels and that figure is not being reduced.

The source is also very US-centric. If we take the IEA’s projections, only 25% of the world’s new energy will be from renewable sources in 2024.

Then there’s the weird choice of counting battery storage as energy generation. At the end of 2022 half of the battery storage was being powered by fossil fuels so should probably be left out of any statistics.

We need people to understand the true scale of the problem rather than generating more hopium. The energy companies have teams of people for that.

Imagine not starting the season with him in FPL.

Shame climate change has rendered it about as useful as looking out the window at predicting the weather.

The scientific method itself considers any as yet unsubstantiated theory as hypothesis. Applying this to the idea of God would leave one agnostic on the issue.

A couple of prominent examples of religious dogmas disproved by scientific discoveries are the Copernican Revolution and evolution by means of natural selection.

Cavity protection ain’t gonna cut it where they’re going.

Probably because it’s down. I for one am surprised they have no failover for when Bing goes down.

Nah it’s just SFA with extra steps.

That’s why I mentioned those other console exclusive features. Anyway the original point was about cost and I think the Series X was the best value for money at launch this gen…

• Half the price of building a similar PC at launch.

• Rewards are higher on console so recoup the cost more than PC.

• I use Game Pass on both PC and Xbox with a single account to play multiplayer so cheaper on that front.

We’re half way through the generation now though. PC parts have got cheaper, Game Pass Ultimate conversion ratio has dropped and rewards are drying up so probably wouldn’t advocate it anymore. PC likely to be better value next gen.

I always gamed predominantly on PC but this generation I did the maths as PC parts had become over-inflated so decided to give console a try. I still think it was a decent decision for this generation…

Game Pass can be had waaaaaay cheaper than that and you can get it all back and more in rewards points.

I spent £450ish on the console at launch including controller and a game. Equivalent GPU was £500 or more at the time.

Spent £150ish on Game Pass sub from November 2020 to July 2026 which has allowed me to play countless games I never would have bought outright.

I’ve made over £700 back in vouchers with over 2 years left to accumulate more. Spent half of it on games, and controllers, headset, etc. all of which I can use on my PC. Plan on saving the remaining vouchers to put towards my next PC build.

This is without mentioning other console benefits like low maintenance, Quick Resume and the fact I can use one copy of a game to play with two players online.
