You realize that when a business is privatized they don't give it to the civil service right?

They bring in a CEO from the business world, The point is that CEO isn't then given marching orders to make as much money in the shorter time as possible.

The last time I asked for experiences over stuff we had covid immediately after and went into lockdown and I couldn't use it for over 2 years.

Not doing that again.

Well I've just been paid to start drinking at 3:00 p.m. because apparently I haven't taken enough holiday this year.

Sucks to be free I guess.

Hydro is great but it's not clean it requires you to flood vast areas of land, it's quite damaging to wildlife.

It is also highly situation dependent, you be quiet exactly the right kind of geography in order to be able to build hydro and then you require that there is no one living in the affected area otherwise it gets very expensive very quickly assuming you're allowed to do it at all.

So as far as I can tell the idea here is to just continuously piss off Nintendo forever with a never-ending game of whack-a-mole?

If Jeremy Clarkson is part of your movement you're on the wrong side. The guy is an enormous ego with a platform.

Why the hell would "The Government™" want to ethnically cleanse farming what the hell does that even mean?

I do think it's funny how he's got massively into the whole farming thing though.

You have to have some base load it can't be all renewable because renewables just aren't reliable enough. The only way to get 100% reliability from solar for example would be to build a ring of panels around the equator (type 1 civilization stuff).

Of all the options for base load, nuclear is the least worst, at least until we can get Fusion online, but you know that's always 20 years away.

I'm fairly sure that all newly built houses in the UK require solar by law.

The link doesn't work at all.

If they simply didn't want to sell to a certain demographic it would still load the website but would just say they don't operate in your region. The error you get back is once you get back if the domain doesn't exist.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
