Insulation does work but only where suitable. No practicable solutions exist for many homes. The work undertaken was known to not work on homes, not only that, it was known to actually make it worse.

The Whistle was blown pretty loudly on these schemes many many years ago.

Government: Meh

Too many of the boys making a good scratch from public funds obvs.

Lesson? don't throw good money after bad, maybe.

UK energy efficiency sector in crisis: New NAO report finds a staggering 98% failure rate for external wall insulation installed since 2022 under ECO scheme.

It's a tragedy for the households suffering from poor installs and a massive setback for public confidence in the insulation industry.

I'm preparing for migration from Windows to a Linux OS... I need to find a program that has a similar tool to Adobes' Camera RAW Filter, that can output to BMP with various diffusion options for the BMP conversion!

Ideally for a high volume work flow. Where to start?

It's Prime Day so here's your regular reminder that:

- Amazon has been exposed for throwing away millions of unused products each year
- Amazon emits MORE CO2 than Hong Kong & Denmark
- Jeff Bezos earns more in 1 MINUTE than many of his workers do in a year

Overconsumption is KILLING our planet

Nothing, I think it's listed and therefore has some protection, but with that comes expense. I'm not sure who runs and/or owns it. My best guess is it's being moth balled. I would hope some measures have been put in place to preserve it.

Still used as a school/college till about year 2000 me thinks

That's why I said, for starters.

One Adult Swim @oneadultswim.bsky.social · 9d

For starters, By not making it profitable, it would stop creating any more. Followed by a programme of social housing and affordable housing to bring down market prices, selloffs by landlords follow at affordable prices because landlords incentives are removed.

By having a grown up government that understands you don't sell social housing stock without it being replaced. And understands that housing isn't a commodity to be used for profiteering. Currently, strict rent controls are required. This all leads to a future pensions crisis btw.

Complete nonsense. For starters a car is a non-essential tool that doesn't perform any function that can't be fulfilled by other means. Whereas shelter and homes are essential.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Work really hard and one day this can be you (followed by graffiti of a headstone that says “RIP worked really hard” on it
