  • Both. Some households, usually in older buildings, pay 'water rates' based on the size of their property. Others, including all newly built homes, have water meters which report usage back to the company. We pay for supply of clean water as well as transportation and processing of surface water run-off and sewage.

  • I don't get the RCS hype. I already have apps for rich messaging and RCS offers nothing for me over those apps. What I do appreciate is SMS, which is posed to be killed-off by RCS. I can rely on SMS even when there is no data signal, can't say that for RCS. I wish I had a way to permanently disable RCS on my Pixel 6a, instead I have to keep rejecting the 'upgrade to RCS' dialog.

  • Not a big one. In my 20s, asleep in bedroom, girlfriend asleep next to me. I wake up and see dancing, glowing blue filaments, about 20cm long, moving through the bedroom. No sound, bedroom is otherwise completely dark. It was a similar glow to Cherenkov Radiation, but at a much smaller scale, and clearly defined, glowing threads.

    Wake girlfriend who grumpily agrees they exist before falling asleep again.

    5 minutes later they just stop and I never see them again.

    We were the only people in the house, in a room with blackout curtains and with all electrical items turned off at the wall (UK plugs rule).

    Still no explanation to this day.

    • Let me tell you something, petaQ. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a disruptor out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, and stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "beep".
    • Kahless!
    • You said it, loD. Nobody fucks with the Kahless.
  • It depends, I think. If it's a scurrilous, untrue rumour about your sexual habits, then it will be preserved indefinitely. If it's some critical information, that is only published in one place, and you need to cite it for a paper, then it's either gone or modified beyond recognition.
