I've met divers that go in canal locks.

They don't work offshore. Was doing canal cutting by boat for a while and they forage in the locks for treats...🤮😁

 

I think you are confusing canal street Manchester with the actual job...

Any way , a recent study has concluded that electric vehicle now pollute considerably  more than the equivalent  petrol powered vehicle . Because they weigh more  their tiers and brakes wear out quicker releasing higher toxic particles than those that come out of a petrol engine tail pipe . I still think Hydrogen is the way forward . I believe Toyota have produced an engine that runs on liquid hydrogen in the same way a petrol engine does in as much as you just fill the tank like you would petrol and of course the only thing that comes out of the exhaust is H2O .      

I read more or less the exact opposite TBH.

Something to do with how they brake they actually have less wear on the brakes and tires.

Btw I still drive an ice car so I'm not arguing for ev's but I wouldn't mind one of them hydrogen ones! 

I can't really winge about the process of mining lithium cobalt etc, although it is fookin brutal as I use that tech everyday as I presume most of us do. I remember my first mobile phone used two AA batteries and latest for about a week,  those were the days. 😄

It's not only time for tulips in the Netherlands, but cherry blossom too! You don’t have to travel far for a chance to catch the best of the pink blooms.

Singapore-registered container ship hits bridge in Baltimore US, 20 confirmed missing from the bridge so far, car drivers and construction workers.

Hell of a thing that.

Imagine driving over at the time, unthinkable.

[sime42]

Indeed. Amazing the way that the structure just crumples like soggy cardboard.

[peds]

Yeah, they say that a scary amount of infrastructure in the US is held together with nothing but wishes, and that there's time bombs all over the country. I can't imagine driving a boat into them would help at all. 

 

Edit

I think John Oliver did a decent episode on it a while back, it'll be on the Last Week Tonight youtube if you Google it.
