I managed to break my scales over the weekend. So was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good budget set

As it's warm is it time to get some cold brew on?

    I bought new ice cube moulds for iced coffee at the beginning to the summer.

    They have not been used yet. Weather has been miserable (I missed the one week of heat whilst abroad)

    I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and I'm sure most of the time these are fine to be around. But this breed literally only exists to circumvent the exists banned breeds laws so I don't understand why the list can't be updated to include them.

    It would be interesting to see a breakdown of pay ranges where this wage growth is happening.

    We've been told no pay rises because of "current economic conditions" but I'm sure the execs have had theirs

    Strong pay growth means the Bank of England could raise interest rates again in September, from the current rate of 5.25%.

    The jobless rate rose from 4% to 4.2%, while the number of people in employment ticked lower.

    Good to see the worst off will be hit the most as always.

    Ok strange, looks to be a kbin problem. I don't see it on any Lemmy instance but on your instance I see that and on kbin.social I get another weird banner (not nsfw at least)

    That's because you're technically not paying for your own pension. You pay for the current pension then the next generation will pay for yours.

    Whole thing needs an overhaul but I wouldn't trust any of them to do it correctly

    Triple lock and more pensioners than ever.

    I look forward to not getting back anything that I pay in while the current people on state pension benefit way more than they contributed

    I use my aeropress scoop for this for whatever brew method I decide to use that day.

    No idea if you can buy just the scoop but I'm a fan of it. However, I'm pretty sure a lot of people hate that scoop.

    When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status

    It was always going to happen but an instance being the defacto default for Lemmy is a bad thing.

    There really needs to be a tool to help people pick an instance, but even then people would just flock to the general instances like .world anyway

    Yeah it might not be the most mathematically correct place to put your money but the monthly thrill is nice.

    Plus it's not too bad as long as it's not the only thing you're doing

    Yeah I'm in that one as well. The joy of federation.

    We've got most teams covered here in feddit.uk. Not that active but good to have I think.

    Most cafes I'll get a milk drink, flat white usually. If I manage to come across a speciality cafe I'll order a V60 if they have it.

    At home 99% of the time black coffee. In the summer sometimes I'll make a Greek Frappé
