I’ve not seen this level of failure to deliver since the amazon guy threw my package over the wrong fence and into a neighbour’s pool two blocks away.

Our climate is changing and we need research like this to ensure that we can still grow food productively in regions where weather is causing crops to fail.

Calm down there, Ye Wenjie…

you’ll put those savings into a stocks and shares ISA where any gains from stocks are tax free guaranteed.

If you have more than £20k a year to put away into stocks and shares then yeah you need to pay some tax bruv.

those contracts take years to tender and likely have huge clawback clauses. I doubt that Labour got into power and immediately signed contracts for things like this. More likely it was more expensive to stop it.

I have a Hasselblad 500 and I like to fill the whole frame with interesting architecture at odd angles. 1920s and 30s art deco is especially good to photograph.

Actually Ovo energy is trying to do that - they estimate a reduction in your energy bills based on installing an energy efficient system like solar, heat pump, loft insulation, etc. Then they carry out the work and you pay it off gradually through your energy bills.

The challenge I think is then if you want to leave them then you have to either repay that debt or the next energy company has to assume it. There’s a few ways it could be abused and of course the savings take years or even decades to pay off, so there’s a few kinks to work out.

I hope they manage to get it working though, it will be big for UK customers.

I feel like capitalists are waiting on some magic solution like some chemical we spray into the air or a miracle new fuel source.

The established suggestions from scientists (“fly less, stop buying SUVs/Trucks, eat less meat, consider a heat pump and solar panels” etc) doesn’t support the narrative that we can continue unabated infinite growth with no consequences.

same, fortunately there’s a whole internet of content that I can browse instead of signing in.

reminder if there is no clear winner then congress votes on who should be president with each state getting one vote. every state counts.

imagine the resources needed to pull something like this

quite aside from the question of how you hack thousands of pagers to make them explode, what are we carrying around in our daily lives that are one internet command away from blowing up?

yeah. That kind of money is top 5% of homes in most of Europe outside very wealthy areas and districts like Zurich. In the UK the average house price is about £300k ($400k)

I think it’s going to be a spectacular year for employment lawyers.

Looks like legal wrote the press release to me.

I agree.

But the realist in me knows it is unlikely to be allowed to happen.

I know that the government will have to service a £15bn debt through borrowing, which will raise interest rates, mortgages, rents and require cuts to public services to pay for. That is on top of the investment needed over the next few years to stop sewage leaking into rivers and leaks of millions of litres a day.

In addition I know that pension funds and large investors will lose substantial sums of money and will look to divest from similar risks, which could lead to more utility companies becoming insolvent. A snowball effect.

Finally, I know that international investment in the UK will be seen as more risky.

What the government will be doing now is weighing up those risks against the cost of raising bills by the 59% that the water companies and industry bodies are asking for. If the worst should happen, will taxpayers be better off with a couple of hundred extra £ on their water bills to pay, or potentially a lot worse off with a rapid nationalisation of multiple firms.

definitely run two cables for each point. nothing beats having a cable be broken somewhere in the walls with no way to repair it.

You can get that kind of power through a Cat6a or Cat7 ethernet cable but a lower spec cable won’t work. here’s an article that talks about the limitations https://sixtytrend.com/can-cat5e-do-poe/
