  That sounds like a great way of doing it :) I’ve seen some lovely stretches of canal. Do you ever make it over East Anglia?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK fusion reactor dream gets another £2.5 billion from gov't⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s great you’re on the water. I know a few people who have lived on the canals and I have a lot of respect for it. I’m on bit of a mission to sail the seas - wish me luck!

  It’s great isn’t it. The panels are getting denser as well which must be great for sailors. What sort of boat do you have?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK fusion reactor dream gets another £2.5 billion from gov't⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only joking. We’re offgrid anyway, so unless they can figure out a tiny, cheap and quiet one I can buy off the shelf some time soon I will be solar for a while to come!

  Panels have become ridiculously cheap per kwh. I was looking for some more recently and they had halved in price in the space of a few years while everything else has almost doubled.

  I’d love to see more innovation in mechanical storage.

  Man, just when I’d bought all those solar panels.

  That debt will be bigger the longer it is left before nationalising it. The situation shouldn’t have been left to fester for so long.

  If the government is not selling us out then what do they have to hide?

  It’s no wonder we don’t trust politicians when it’s clear they don’t trust us.

  I never realised how few countries there are in Asia.

  If he keeps paying creditors back with interest then he will be regarded as a big walking cash machine.

  People with an appetite for maintaining large long-term debt are ideal customers for them.

  Hi America, the people around the world living through famines, wars and genocides would like to have a quiet word with you.

  I suppose he could become a cabinet minister in a coalition though.

  Good article. He’s right as well.

  Can confirm. My kid was born last year and is 9 years old now.

  Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

  Thanks :) I found a free PDF copy on anna’s archive

  That’s fascinating. Can you recommend any books on the subject? The easier to read the better!

  Yeah but monkeys have hands on their feet, so they can pull on the pedal’s upstroke as well as push on the downstroke ☝️

  There’s something about bird memes that puts theme in a class of their own.

  I met another Brit travelling in Thailand who went to hospital with a stomach problem. They didn’t want to treat him until they got a confirmation email from his travel insurance. After they got the email they gave him a massive room to himself, lavished loads of food and drink on him and wouldn’t let him leave after he got better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m totally up for this. Yes, some kids will find out how to circumvent it and yes, some parents won’t abide by it but even if a law isn’t completely enforceable it totally changes people’s attitudes on a population level. Look at the ban on smoking in indoor public spaces for example.

  I’ve thought for a long time that a Mastodon instance administered by adults would be a good solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could give your comment more than one upvote. I think the vast majority of us are not fully aware that we’re in the middle of an active Russian propaganda campaign. Apparently there are at least 10,000 people in Russia employed full-time on this and a tiny fraction of that here to try and combat it.

  I think this is the first time our society has been subject to a state-backed propaganda campaign since the widespread adoption of the internet (which is of course not regulated like ‘legacy media’ is) and so it makes sense that most people aren’t really on their guard for it. The government has no excuse though. They are reported to by the intelligence services, who know exactly what is happening here.
