Talk about an upgrade to a poster boy, that's more of a mobile billboard.

Everyone knows it's never going to come back positive, one can dream

That should be fun watching, didn't the last election fail to elect a party as it's the European style coalition governments. Plus it'll be interesting if the Finland PM tests positive for cocaine.

On a sample size of three turbines in India, surely they could find somewhere a little closer to MIT. I would hope turbine manufacturers a d installers already knew about wake turbulence, it's the reason they have to separate big planes and spacing whilst landing. Which I think was also the reason for fitting winglets to the a380, to reduce vortices on landing.

Think it's pretty much the world over at the moment, Australia just changed parties, new Zealand are fed up of the smiling Arden. Canada similar with Trudeau, Sweden might also switch party. Might be something of a reflection on career politicians, all focus group policy and zero real world experience.

With the exception of the kitchen staff, never annoy them!

Well, companies can't pay less than the minimum wage so your options are very limited without resorting to a free for all American style system. At the same time you'll be then wanting rent or mortgage caps per month as that's one of the primary outlays. Obviously I am generalising and ignoring those who expect the state to pay for gaggles of kids.
-
In that case the only real solution is to increase the minimum wage.

Not made any better by the legal but dodgy sweet heart tax arrangements with all those tech companies. Did the Irish ever actually bank that tax cheque the EU made them charge companies such as Microsoft etc ?.
-
And what are these raft of benefits you seem to presume they all claim?. Or are you hinting the feckless baby breeding types ?. Which I definitely agree should be limited to two kids, any more and it's no more additional benefits.
-
Tone, do you not like the fact it's actually true?. They burn shredded tyres to make cement to reduce the amount of natural gas they use. Sources to prove what exactly, it's well known they have variable pitch blades. It's a bit like having a chocolate tea pot and only being able to use it for cold drinks.
-
The lie is the one the renewable zealots spout, you can't run a world on renewables and then proceed to try and educate me about why they shut down wind turbines when it's too windy!. They are variable pitch, your calculations are pointless, it's the same technology used in aircraft propellors and they work at 500mph. What about the blades and the fact we've been burying them or burning then to co fire cement production!.

In that Frankie Boyle it's a robbery, all that comes to mind is the pulp fiction restaurant scene. So is it Liz, Angela or that daft green screaming it ?
-
You need base load regardless, you need to be using the renewable to do something such as hydrogen when it's excess.
-
If you really want to see how much of a cock up the renewable industry is in go have a look at Australia. A country so blessed in sunshine they are facing actual blackouts!
-
Yeah, the green Germans. Let's close perfectly good nuclear power plants in favour of gas and renewables whilst also burning the most foul polluting coal which is barely even coal it's akin to burning soil/peat!
-
Sounds like you've swallowed the huge renewable lies, if you want to supplement the grid with solar, wind etc that's to be encouraged but you need base load to actually allow that. Without sufficient base load and storage your renewable energy delusions are not even possible. You need storage for atleast 24 hours not minutes, batteries are not the answer, hydro maybe but they turn wind off when it blows top hard. You need to be using that power however hard it blows!.
-
There are plenty of things that could be done starting with the green taxes on fuel. If those Gretta types want to pay more, I'm sure the energy companies would offer them a tariff to make them feel all fuzzy inside. I still can't understand how a bill goes from 1500>4500. Wholesale gas price has gone up but not that much, as a country we need to return to burning waste especially plastics.
-
When you use on average a gallon a week spread over a year it's ok. With the E10 fuel I keep as little as possible on site as it goes off.
-
Being not the greatest volume user of 2t, I use one shots for convenience. Always add afterwards, plus I suck up the petrol and swill out the one shot bottle. Hate seeing them in the bin with any oil left in them.
-
My exit reference it is obvious sarcasm for a very depressing read, yet more doom mongering. Just because the ship is sinking and I've water upto the top of my wellies doesn't mean you need to pee in them as well.

Is that article sponsored by exit ?

The weights and measures are checked on the pump at a certain temperature 16c I think. But the difference is so miniscule over 5l, your can is however an approximation and mass produced. Use the pump and you won't be far out.

Dealing with constant falling apples
GarethM replied to asdffdsa's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Apples are apples, but are they eating or cooking apples. Suppose you could make cider if there are enough of them, I just chop mine up into slices and feed them to the sheep as they're not the nicest eating apples. -
Maybe the daily Heli were a bit confused about how to do a handshake, I suppose a salute is COVID friendly tho
