Portugal just being the westernmost part of Eastern Europe again.

Be careful, that’s clearly a hypnotoad.

Well this is all very sudden and mysterious. Presumably there’s something specific behind it but not clear what that might be.

This role feels typical of so many infrastructure projects lately. Set a deadline, miss it, set another one, miss that too, get it in place in some limited form, oops that was a mistake.

Just went and saw it. It’s fine. An antidote to the usual marvel nonsense, but it’s just not in the same league as fury road. The green screen is a real problem though. Some of the shots look almost incomplete, like they’re placeholders for the real ones.

The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response. 

When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.

The real question is how to make it profitable. Turn the captured carbon into building materials somehow?

As it stands, who pays for it? Can’t rely on government subsidies, and can’t rely on business doing it unless they’re compelled.

I wish it would work but I just don’t see how it fits in the current system at any meaningful scale.

Update: Worth it, thanks for the tips everyone!

Took a drive out to a little town near Newmarket (Ousden) that seemed to be recommended as a stargazing spot. Top of a hill, hardly a cloud in the sky, sliver of a moon, and not even too cold. What a perfect night!

Even on an iPhone 13 mini without a tripod or any skill in photography we managed to get a couple of amazing snaps.

Finished up with some motorway services doughnuts on the way home in the wee hours.

Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - would do it again.

Exciting stuff! Just an hour or two until it’s dark. Fingers crossed!

Reckon it’s worth taking a drive out of London to spot the aurora?

Terrible in the East End of London. The things I’d do to be able to just take a walking meeting without the call dropping out every 5 minutes!

Water may be wet. But let’s wait until January to be sure.

Spacious room with a single toilet and a floor to ceiling solid wood door: 🚨ILLEGAL🚨. But add a sink and anyone can poop to their heart’s content.

It seems the issue here is actually mixed gender handwashing, which is the real scourge.

 

10 years without an increase in funding for SEND pupils is outrageous. Austerity is very much alive and well.

 

My gift to anyone who wants to self-host.
