    Using "he" as default is just as much of a political stance as using "they" as default. The fact that whoever rejected this PR thinks that pronouns are "political" gives me a prett…

    My company recently moved from a wework equivalent to a much cheaper serviced office. A few less of the flashy features and perhaps a slightly less prestigious address (5 minutes d…

    The most common tariff that offers these prices is capped at 100p/kWh (about 3-4x higher than the standard price). I've been on it for about 3 months and I never saw anything highe…
