Do you want to give up caffeine? If you do, you can do it. I did it. Took me about eight months. I feel better now, no “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee”, no 3pm slump. But that was my choice, and as addictions go, I don’t know if it’s really that bad?

Don’t bother arguing with stupid. They’ll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

They’ll be replaced with rapid charging stations.

This is already happening. Not too far from where I live, right on a main road, a BP station closed down late last year and they’re in the process of replacing it with a 20-bay BP Pulse rapid charging station with an attached store and café.

They’re going to make a fucking killing. And not just because they charge almost £1 per kWh.

At the risk of stating the obvious:

They’re fictional creatures. They do whatever you think they do.

In England we had a three-party system for many a year. Then the third party (Liberal Democrats) showed their true colours. Then we had two. Now a new third party, Reform, is rising up on a platform of racism. They’re splitting the racist vote. That allowed a fourth party, the Greens, a noteworthy victory in a local by-election.

I don’t know how it works over there, but what I take away from this is that it wouldn’t have been possible without people who were willing to vote for not a third party, but a fourth party.
