Well, the design of the plug also implies the design of the socket. I was born in the eighties, and I've never seen an electrical socket without a switch, except for the appliance socket used for the cooker, which is behind where you install the appliance - the switch is higher up, above the countertop where it is accessible.

Basic extension trailing sockets don't, most of the time unless you buy a snazzy one. But it's by no means a recent development.

Tom Scott has a video all about the UK power outlet plug and socket and it's an engineering marvel. The switch is just one feature.

There, Grauniad. I fixed your copy for you.

There's a replevin for when debtors won't comply. It's like a warrant. I don't like it any more than the next guy but if we buy cars on finance, the dealer or bank owns the car until we've paid our loan off. Hiding it from them is technically stolen property. A lien holder's legal right to a repo order is a literally a signed tenet of the loan agreement.

Not a problem that needs to be solved with technology, there's already the long arm of the law. Capitalism! 👍

Maybe nothing. It was dormant for years. When they wired it up they ruined its ability to ever rotate ever again. St John's Precinct had gone to shit and they have no money, so unless they can funnel their ridiculous cash cow of a car park into fixing it up and putting a restaurant back in there, I can't see anything happening in it.

There was a rumour about it being turned into a Weatherspoon's. I hope not.

I did the gallery tour last time I was there. That was nice. Maybe the owner can continue to operate tours, it could remain quite lucrative in the tourism season. Liverpool has no shortage of visitors. Just keep maintaining the lifts and it will take care of itself.

No, but it implies that the brand has attained a certain level of quality to the point where some rich pleb sponges have decided they rather like it. The papers want to know who's shirts you wear...

Yep, same with the-shitty ass Kaiser Permanente app, which itself is just a webview wrapper around the crappy kp.org website. I cannot screenshot my test results, or any other screen within the app, but I can go to the same-ass page in my browser and take my screenshot from the website.

Not op but I found it interesting.

+1 for PipePipe! I love it and it Just Works®. Quick updates too.

It's pronounced "Worcestershire".

some say a comet will fall from the sky, Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still Followed by billions of dumb-founded dipshits Some day the end is near Some say we'll see armageddon soon I certainly hope we will I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit, silly shit...

One great big festering neon distraction I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied: learn to swim

Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's coming round to out it back the way it ought to be...

Yay. I just tried it and it works.
