_xDEADBEEF , 3 months ago to United Kingdom in Roads at 'breaking point' as pothole repairs hit eight-year high, report claims

I was shocked to find a particularly bad stretch near me to have had all of the potholes filled a while back.

Most of them came back after a month, but still, it was nice to not have to play dodgems on this stretch for a bit.

Also, anybody driven on the M48 eastbound between Newport and Bristol recently? Holy shit is it bad.

maybe i got lucky to somehow hear them over my tinnitus. and no, if you live around them long enough, its not just a fan spinning (which will get noisy over time when they get manky and imbalanced, which in turn causes secondary vibrations). personally, i prefer air to air heatpumps i had when i lived in nz. not the noisy bastards i put up with in sweden.

that said, despite my hearing loss and tinnitus, i can pick up on annoying sounds nobody notices until i point them out.

Fly by night cowboys always seem to pop up whenever there's a govt grant involved. Then several years down the line you get countless stories of botched installs ruining houses (cavity wall and loft insulation for example)

All of them? Sure, some were clearly rattly old things with knackered bearings, but they are not silent and stick out like a sore thumb when they click on at night. However, in the daytime, they get drowned out by the general din of life.

But im sure I'll be told my experiences are wrong.

If all my neighbours had heatpumps installed the noise would drive me mad. I don't think my sanity would last due to lack of sleep.

Houses where i am are so close together.

The assassination of Shinzo Abe. Former prime minister of Japan.

In short, and I'm working on memory, the assassin killed Abe because Abe was very friendly with a religous cult. Said cult had brainwashed the assassins mother and made her penniless.

The problem I have with some vegans are that they tend to be sanctimonious, holier than thou, cunts.
