So apparently renting powerbanks is a thing. Cool, pay a few $£ and drop it off somewhere else later.
AFAICS in the UK: #chargedup/@theup_co & @joosapp & BattPoint.
But no maps of their locations!? I'm not installing your app until *after* I can see what your coverage is like

Wouldn't it be great if the Forth Bridge became Scotland's first official Lego set?
This idea only needs a few hundred more supporters for Lego to officially consider it, so please register your support.
It's free and only takes a couple of minutes:

Less than 900 supporters needed for Lego to consider making The Forth Bridge their next set!

This is some ace trivia on places & words! 💯 @natlibscotmaps I’m sure you can come up with an entire list from here…
We set off from London—where, in 19th century slang, a KENT STREET EJECTMENT was the act of removing the front door of a house. Named after Kent Street in Southwark, this was a ploy used by local landlords to evict tenants who had fallen more than two weeks behind in their rent.

Great to be able to introduce sno.earth to the lovely people at #gitmerge today. At @Koordinates we’re excited about spatial dataset versioning and the possibilities it will open up.

UK utilities have a nice scam going. Fixed term contracts where the price gets bumped by 2-3% every March based on Consumer Price Index. Guess what drives a chunk of consumer spending which CPI is based on? #selfFulfilling

And continues the tradition of screwing your existing customers, since new ones pay less. I guess you make more from auto-price-bumps on existing customers than you spend acquiring new ones because of all the churn?
