@famlyhq Is there any way to receive the full message via email? My son's nursery sends a lot of messages but I only get the first 100 characters via email, meaning I have to click the link each time.
@MoneySavingExp I’ve received an email from @OctopusEnergy which implies I’m not eligible for the EPG when my fixed octopus Go tariff comes to an end next month.
I thought if I did nothing I would roll into the SVR which is capped by the EPG/EPC?
Does anyone have strong opinions about rechargeable batteries?
I normally go for Eneloop batteries but they are now at nearly £3 per battery I can buy 15 non rechargeable ones for that.
I’m getting some solar panels installed with Solar Edge + Modbus which will allow me to know when I have excess energy generation via an API.
I need some things I can switch on via API to charge. My hot water is controlled by nest but it doesn’t look like there is an API?
@johnlewishelp we’ve had a range of your Egyptian bedding for about 4 years and I’m noticing huge holes where the stitching has come undone.
It’s not the end of the world (I can stitch it back up) but it’s happened across both duvet covers and pillows over 2 sets.
Now I’m looking at over lockers to fix all these problems.
For the cost of some stronger thread I think you made a bad cost cutting decision.
Here’s the duvet cover btw I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think? johnlewis.com/john-lewis-spe…

There is a lot of heat in that little box. Going to install a fan, should it blow air in or out?

Nice night out in the cold confirming I can make the lights flicker.
There are 20ish lights in this effect and the @tweethue hub struggles with all the commands
@IKEAUK my vinter 2021 countersink has been added on the wrong side for one of the legs which is making it unstable. I don’t really have time to return it so I will have to countersink it myself.

Clear as ever: @TimHarford on the need for a carbon tax.

Doing a bit of weeding and decided to let the train go round. After this it’ll be packed away until Christmas where it’ll spend the month wrapped in Garland and playing Christmas music.
Hopefully next year I’ll be allowed to extend the track into the rest of the garden!
Does anyone know much about bikes? I'm looking for a new bike (mainly canal towpath riding).
I would love to get a Saxil cycle (founded by my great uncle) - but I am unsure whether the bike will be suitable. Also has rollerbrakes.

@Ocado I have a delivery pass but you are making me spend £10 on a Christmas delivery (despite it’s being at the same time). Whacked up the min order to £90 and most of the things we want are out of stock 🤦♂️
@AldiUK My mum got the wooden nativity set for my son but it’s got glue and chips out of the roof. Also the paint is worn in places.
It’s all easily repairable. Don’t think our local has anymore stock.
Just really bad quality....
Today's exciting, I got a new 4k monitor for a bargain price from Amazon Warehouse (used acceptable) but it seems fine. Hopefully after a day of full use I won't find any problems.
Anyone who knows about #linux or #raspberrypi mind taking a look at this problem - trying to get a wifi dongle to work raspberrypi.stackexchange.co…
