Hangs to the left.
So when we are using 60% fossil fuel the cost is 50% higher then using 6.8% fossil fuel!

So renewables can be great. Currently doing about the same as fossil fuels but without running out, no pollution, no global politics, and cheaper.
Until battery storage improves 10 fold we cant get rid of fossil fuels but that day is getting closer.

Mmmm, not sure I want to watch The Witcher Season 4 if it has "language" in it?

Where exactly on the chart is this new party?

A lovely forrest killed by your beloved fossil fuels.

Look at this English countryside. Used to be lush forrest but is now a cultivated dessert.

I don't think you can tax wealth. You can take somebody's money and make the law call it a tax but that doesn't mean it isn't theft.
But then I think the opposite about care homes - I don't think it's right a family home and lifetime of savings has to be sold to pay for a few months terminal care.

Changes taxes to generate more income from the wealthy. Don't just steal money off people and call it a tax.

We got this one!

I did something similar with a sheet of perspex but took the glazing out during summer and swapped it over. But aircon is in a different room now so have gone for a similar setup with aluminium foil and gluestick to keep the sun out.

I used to love going in this old bunker at South Gare, Redcar when I was a kid. It was usually full of sand and inaccessible but occasionally you could get inside.

Here is a lovely picture of a canine. Would you kids call it that? I doubt they'd call it a bitch as you'd have to assume that from the collar colour or look at it's genitals.
So much 'sexism' is baked into language and it will take generations to get it out - English will be a new language.

I just get an image of the old pigeon racing trucks being driven past an airfield (or parked up for months) and swarms of drones flying out.

Strangely, this joke from Viz pops into my head regularly.

Saw it this morning too from Malvern Hills.

I was using ChatGPT which uses a lot more processing power than a generic search. It gives a significantly different answer.

To be fair, it's just fluoride this time. Studies decades ago said fluoride decreased cavities by 25%.
A lot has changed since then in diet, education and dentistry so perhaps the benefits of fluoride are worth revisiting.
I say that as a parent of a child with too much fluoride in their diet.

Like to think I'm fairly balanced there with a wide vocabulary. Or more likely, just haven't posted much.
March 26, 2025 at 6:56 PM
Just tried ChatGPT and I think I might be overestimating their abilities.

I bought my daughter an Egg Chair in January 2023 and put plastic vine leaves and led lights on it.
2 years later and the led's have been on constantly with 2AA batteries. Very very dim but still visible in the dark.
How is that possible?

Just had a look at Bing and Google. The same with or without a US proxy.

Oops, missed one. That's 8!

Went into Tesco for a potato peeler.
What is this obsession with potato peelers #Tesco?
