Another Matt

Recently joined, semi- annoying but Mostly Correct reply guy from The Other Place. Interests include despairing snark about UK US and EU politics, kayaking tours and getting caught in the rain. No relation to the Other Matts on social media.
100%. But also, have you watched Paradise? The second to last episode of that show's first season, as the Black Hero Protagonist has to come to terms with what's about to happen... is the ACTUAL most stressful episode of TV ever. Maybe the most stressful media in any format ever.
No they never do, why would they. But its just like the club world cup...
Almost no one seems to know this: but there was already a mandatory biometric ID card for immigrants. When the first Blair ID card scheme flopped, they kept the technology platform alive so it could be used for an immigrants-only BIOMETRIC RESIDENTS PERMIT. But they scrapped it for eVisas in 2024.
well either Starmer's leaving Downing Street, or Andy Burnham has a new show out, where he's an ex-Florida cop who tracks down people's lost and kidnapped relatives...
Worth pointing out the framing of the story is gibberish anyway. Pixar didn't make this thing up for the movie. It's a barely name-changed version of an actual famous and widely popular Early Years educational tablet; the LeapPad.
The fact that these people are writing something like this, but clearly know so little about actual technological and industrial theory or history, that they cant use the basic Year 1, Semester 1 terminology that describes this exact thing, should tell you how seriously to take their claims...
Douglas Adams has a famous quote below about new technology adoption in three age brackets. While there WERE newspaper scare stories for the elderly about bicycles, hula hoops and indeed the internet.. ..the big tell with AI is that it's now the YOUNG PROFESSIONAL demo who are backlashing hardest.
this is a very fun map... really makes you realise how much wind and ocean current determines your climate, not latitude!
No, it is set based on a function of the last (most expensive) buy, which is always a gas source. So all prices that households and businesses receive, are a function of that gas price. Prices DO NOT take account of either what the renewables cost, or how large a part of the mix they were:
I think we're talking about two different things. You're talking about generation side. I'm talking about the retail side. The Regulator set prices caps, as a function of "the gas price + N" Which means the retail price tracks gas REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL MIX. Hence why it needs changing:
Current status of the DRACO programme, the only recent nuclear propulsion project NASA has been involved in:
I don't know enough about modern US statutes to really comment. But from an English perspective, is this not just a straight forward Common Law tort of Passing Off? They used peoples real names and said "get advice from xx".
our whole foreign policy is just this "Declare Surprise War [Warmonger Penalty: Egregious]" button now.
The WHOLE PREMISE of the article is that its spoiling a previously untouched rural idyll, and then...
Team USA brought in an ex special forces guy to give a pep talk about being masculine and having an "Operator Mindset" before the game.
