official sober thread
While I love drinking, the product, the wines and liquids, something I'll never leave, BUT I love periods of no booze, its so nice to feel clean and clear.
The Athletic Brews for me are an AMAZING counterpoint and do a great job of quenching that feeling we all love from a beer.

UK is Fucked
I've this morning been informed I should expect a £12 a month increase to my water bill, this after moving to a new place about 200m over a few months back, same size family, but water bill went up £25 because there's an extra bedroom, so in less than four months my water bill has almost doubled.
Still, as long as shareholders and directors keep getting handsomly rewarded, that's all that matters, I suppose.
- before thames water were privatised they had no debt (apparently). the cunts that bought them were somehow allowed to offload an £18bn debt onto the company.hans_glib
- Yeah, that's in The Grauniad link.
And I meant £19, not £12.
https://petition.par…Nairn - did not read the article. apologies for stating the bleeding obvioushans_glib
- For us here, every summer our water consumption mysteriously increases, when it really goes down, like gas consumption in winter...OBBTKN
- We heat the house with firewood.
It's very simple. They are thieves! Guillotine and fire!!OBBTKN - I'm not in the UK, I know Nairn, but there are very similar procedures here ;)
I feel your painOBBTKN - The robbing bastards... Rateable Property Value vs Meter. Could you get a meter installed? Although i hear it can work out more expensive.Morning_star
- That's my current strategy, there's no way we use £80 of water a month. I only shower on the new moon...Nairn
- Don't you have a metre? In which case what they charge will be an estimate and you could just end up paying more than your usagekalkal
- Yep, I want to get one installed.Nairn
- I find it abhorrent they would privatise a basic human need just to make more money for investors. It's Thatcher's legacy that keeps on givingIanbolton
- Maybe try and role play a Dune-style life where every drop is of upmost importance - drinking your own sweat?Ianbolton
- They charge by rooms, not usage?monospaced
- The cost is based on the rateable value of the property not the number of inhabitants. So 20 people in a 2 bed house would pay lots less than 1 person in a...Morning_star
- ...5 bed house. You can opt to have your water metered which can save money.Morning_star
- That's because of how it's split among the residents? Or more people lowers the bill for the property? We're all required to have meters, so this is fascinatingmonospaced
- @ian I find it insane that something you're lumped with, that there's no other option about is privatised, not like you're going to find a better deal...kalkal
- ...dumbest thing they could have privatised, even dumber than power, but that's still up therekalkal

Printer
Hi Fellow designers, i got the job to find a new printer for our design studio.
Should be A3 and the purpose is for printing digital work or inspiration to hang on a wall.
Any recommendations?
- quit from your design studio_niko

Instead, install an interactive panel where you can place it. Save thousands.OBBTKN - OK THANKSmilfhunter

Elon Musk
Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management
Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.
- By Stalin he means Hitler.i_monk
- 'expert'
Stalin's takeover of the apparat began 100 years ago, and the man died in the 1950's. Cunts act like it was yesterday.face_melter - it is yesterday... especially in the USneverscared
- conveniently forgetting the McCarthy hearings or the hysteria after 9/11. Big Joe continues to live like a king in the minds of Burgerland dullards.face_melter

Elon Musk
This is *the* salient comment of all of all of them from that Reddit thread Nairn posted just now, that we need to internalise. Particularly the last sentence:
"The most dangerous billionaires are the ones who work hard to make sure you never hear about them or their goals. Low admits that’s who he is.
I’ll be honest, this post was interesting and insightful, but it said far more about Low than it did Musk. Low is more intelligent, careful and discreet. He is not a buffoon. But that doesn’t necessarily make him morally superior; it just means that his allegiances and influence are harder to pin down.
Your enemy’s enemy is not necessarily your friend."
- everybody know that the standard profile of a billionaire is not a buffoon... how many are dancing on stages... trump since the 80ties..and he was always anneverscared
- excemption evidently...musk is chimning it since he dated grimes which is in showbiz..evidently he enjoys the spotlight of an entertainer now.... i never sawneverscared
- warren buffett dancing with mr.universes...neverscared
- One guy’s opinion based on nothing but his imaginings of what goes on in someone else’s head. And a competitor as well. Take it with a grain of salt.monNom
- We don't need to know exactly what Low is up to: you can't become a billionaire by being a good person.i_monk
