That’s very interesting about the relationship between nitrogen and protein.

My concern is that he’ll be under a lot of pressure to call an early general election. And an election campaign will completely suck the energy out of dealing with the shit really starting to hit the fan with the economy. Worse still, it will probably be followed by a chaotic Reform government, or months of wrangling over a coalition.
I think it might be actually be better in the long run if he loses the byelection. It’s hard to see any positive change happening any time soon though.
- Comment on What does everyone think of the economic outlook for the next year? 4 days ago:
It seems improbable to me that absolutely none of the current risks start to become realised in the immediate future, and that we are allowed to resume muddling on like before.
As an englishman I hate to say it, but the president of the united states is a true agent of the future.

Same here.

What has been going on with Finnish trade since the invasion? I haven’t seen any reporting on this here in the UK, as far as I’m aware.
I also hope fossil fuel usage starts declining. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic, atleast about my country.
Well you will be pleased to hear that I am done with fossil fuels. Part of my reason for creating this post is to get some perspective before laying down most of my savings on offgrid renewables.

What is your personal hunch about where the real economy is going for the median family in Europe/US?

I’m actually a bit worried about Burnham winning the byelection. If he becomes PM we’ll be having a political crisis at the same time as an economic one.

Walking is so underrated that it’s easy to forget about it entirely. Thanks for remimding me about it!
- Comment on Four jailed over £6m NHS contract fraud have sentences cut 1 week ago:
Interesting. Arguing that crime is your way of life rather than a series of separate and discrete acts of misjudgement gets you a lighter sentence.

Draw a smiling penis on them.
I’m totally serious - it’s the only thing which undermines them and communicates on the same level as them.
Don’t do all of them at once or it will look like a concerted campaign or one person’s fit of passion. Just do 1 in 20 or so, and draw each one slightly differently. If they are replaced wait a while before defacing the new ones.
- Comment on Majority of Britons would back a smoking ban in pub gardens 2 weeks ago:
I’m very surprised that isn’t already banned in kids play areas and it definitely shoyld be.
I think pubs should be allowed to decide for themselves about beer gardens though.

- Comment on [Video] People Against Genocide target DSV in Bristol. DSV are a logistics firm which ship weapons for Elbit Systems. 3 weeks ago:
They’ve been in prison until this point. That’s nearly two years in prison without having been found guilty in a trial. The maximum is supposed to be six months.
- Comment on [Video] People Against Genocide target DSV in Bristol. DSV are a logistics firm which ship weapons for Elbit Systems. 3 weeks ago:
Elbit Systems have a weapons factory, also in Bristol, which was the site of a break-in by direct action activists who found quadcopter drones used to drop grenades on people in Gaza. The activists were imprisoned without trial.
Direct action like that in the video risks huge personal sacrifice.

- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 2 months ago:
where you can talk to actual helpful humans and solve a problem together if you get stuck
I’m not directly answering your question here, but I just want to say that slrpnk.net/c/linux@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy is exactly this and there are people using all sorts of distributions. I’ve found everyone there extremely helpful.
- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 3 months ago:
you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time
I can confirm this. My family is off-grid and there have been extended periods the last two winters when it has simply been too dark for too long to depend on the solar without installing 50x more panels.
Also, the problem with having larger battery capacity to span these periods is that if they don’t get fully recharged or cycled properly the batteries get damaged and eventually die. We learnt that the hard way.
Solar is the undisputed champion for 80-90% of the year but needs the complemented with something else for the remainder, if you want uninterrupted on-demand electricity.
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 4 months ago:
This is a good question and I’ll be interested to see what others have to say. One thing I’ve noticed is that memories can transform into ‘memories of memories’. What I remember is not the felt impression of something but what I subsequently told or showed myself about it. And it doesn’t even just apply to childhood - I have same thing for big events in my life from last couple of years.
I do find that it’s possible to consciously dig deeper and unearth forgotten memories though.
I’ll also add that I think what constitutes a sense of ‘self’ is more than just memory.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 4 months ago:
If there is a third world war I think either everyone will lose in one day (nuclear weapons), or it will be sabotage and ‘special military operations’ everywhere for decades, and not named as a world war until later.
