For me, that grey weather makes me borderline suicidal. So… I moved somewhere that has more sun.

The enormous warehouses and following volumes of traffic that online retailing seem to demand are quite awful. One went in a few towns over and it’s completely changed the whole area with traffic.

First time, you’re gullible. Second time, you’re malicious.

Creating energy independence is defence spending.

What possible benefit is there to kowtowing to Trump?

Building homes in known floodplains is a terrible use of land. Build commercial there, ok, but there’s a reason the village doesn’t have any 400 year old homes in that wide flat area next to the river.

Almost all (92%) of the trusts that responded said they had no contingency plan to tackle supply problems and 82% said they had not reported the scarcities they were facing to NHS England.

On one hand, shortage of basic nonprescription drugs like paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid is huge cause for concern.

On the other hand, not talking about it makes it worse.

TFA talks about how there needs to be resilience in supply chains but doesn’t actually address how it’s possible to run out of two of the most commonly used drugs in the world, which is the real news item here. Is it underfunding leading to under-ordering? Is it a production problem? Is it a Trump problem? Who knows, we just need more bureaucrats to spend more time planning.

Article says it’s one of the largest networks in the world but it still needs to be larger.

Starting to sound like just one more camera and we’ll be able to end murder. One more camera.

Truck stops with multiple 1MW chargers are pretty rare, but the infrastructure can be built in time. 100kW is a challenge in the numbers that would be used for overnight charging; again, it’s just time and investment.

These are European long haul vehicles which are different than for example Australian or North American long haul - the trips are much shorter. Expectations would have to change, though that’s probably a good thing for safety.

Utterly ridiculous to expect that parents provide an expensive and fragile piece of technology in order to receive a fare discount.

And do seniors need the same? What happens if the device ages out of support yet is still functional (as is often the case with very light usage that many seniors have); will the app continue working?

It’s so unfortunate that Musk and USA is in charge of this technology.

The new cameras are not announced, not spec’d, and not dated. There is no model name, no sensor, no price. What the company is describing is a direction, not a product you can buy.

Ugh, slop. But the point is made.

Between the ubiquity of phone cameras that take better photos than any point and shoot in history, and mirrorless cutting into the pro market alike, I have to imagine it’s a slow market.

“The balloon would only be needed if all other failsafes have broken or been destroyed”, the source added. “Testing is to find the weak link in rehearsal – not on the day of the crisis.”

It’s junk for USA too, but it’s their junk

Tax Amazon in some way, and zoning laws to encourage walkable development

Current value = assessed value of assets less the assessed investment and maintenance gaps, and just have the government seize it.

Indeed. But apparently 10 days gets one there, TFA doesn’t really explain itself.

I’ve only done cider in the last year. No brew day, only bottling.

I should brew again. It’s such a faff though.

“We have to show all sides” and when one side is complete lunacy, I suppose any fair reporting would count towards the “other side”.

But in reality, some opinions need at the very least editorial context, or perhaps don’t need to be aired.
