They seem to be announcing election results.

If I don't close Tweetdeck, I wonder if I'll get to keep the old version.

Yes @bing, when searching for Madrid I did mean Madrid, New Mexico, population 247, and not the second largest city in the EU.

Something is happening in central Bath this evening. Police helicopter circling, followed by a police dog car speeding into town.

The number of people who walk down a street and knock over every cone astounds me. Literally happening 2-3 times a night. Even more surprising is the number of people who walk a few meters behind them putting the cones back!

Things I've learnt today: 1. Cycling is more fun when you're on the bike 2. Gloves are very useful 3. First aid kits are also really useful

I made a map of dentists in England currently accepting new adult patients, according to the NHS website. There are none in the South West. None. Interactive version: nhsdentists.bathdata.org/

Not very nice message from Twitter last night suspending @BathFood. I think I've signed up for the free version of the API but will need to work out what changes are needed to make @BathFood work again. Hopefully just authentication changes rather than anything bigger.

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

Trains in the evening are cancelled, and I can't use my tickets on the ones running after 3pm. Some good planning from @GWRHelp there!

I have two sets of Christmas lights - one with 200 LEDs and one with 40 older fairy lights. The older lights use 35W, and the LEDs use 5W. At current prices, only using the LEDs will be a saving of about £3.50 for me.
Starting to wonder if @awscloud support's solution to everything is to use atop. It seems to be their go-to solution for everything nowadays.
Since Twitter's future is looking perilous ... @_duncan_@mastodon.online

Apparently they need to turn off my electricity for up to half an hour to install a gas smart meter. Seems a bit unnecessary to me!
This graph of my energy costs is the same graph I tweeted a few weeks ago, but using the updated price cap. I'm staggered at how different the graphs are. nitter.gq/_duncan_/status/156316…

This is how much energy has cost me over the past few years, and expected to cost until the end of 2023. I live in a small flat. These numbers are just staggering. It wasn't until I made a similar graph a month or so ago that it really hit how bad this is going to get.

And I've finally been offered a fixed electricity price that may save me money vs the predicted price caps for the next year. 69p/kWh is not cheap though.

A few notes on the graph: * Historic data is my actual usage and rates * Future estimates uses previous gas usage and predicted (lower) elec usage * Predictions from the latest @CornwallInsight update * Includes the £400 government support * Factors in regional prices for the SW
