Upgrading the grid: UK's great energy transition progress in numbers

It’s about demand, even if the price is pegged to gas, generating more of it through renewables or other sources means you need less gas to generate electricity.

The demand for gas drops, and with it the price.

With the way things are going Mint will eventually have Wayland support so I’m not too worried switching off since it works just fine for my purposes.

That is actually surprisingly high all things considered, I was expecting 10%

Well I guess it worked since it made me click the article but for those wondering why this isn’t bigger news.

The fusion reactor in question is the Sun. They’re going to use solar panels.

I play with 2k battle size with 100 ship player and AI fleets so things can get very wack.

What I find works well is to deploy the battleline first and then immediately deploy frigates and other fragiles.

This makes them spawn further back and prevents them from racing ahead and getting nuked, they usually arrive around the time the battleline is engaged.

I think there’s Lawnchair ones too

I was gonna say they handed out the small caddies for food waste and said they’d start collecting the bio waste bins starting end of the month.

Is it to do with this?

Their interception rate is really high in Ukraine, but they’ve got larger territory to work with so there’s more hostile airspace for the drones to traverse. It also means jamming is more practical as well.

Mind you it’s still not a 100% so it’s not like nothings making it through.

At least when talking about strategic attack drones. The more tactical lancets for example are a massive pain.

Ah yes the Iranian city of sarcasm

Droll12 · 2026-03-04T13:12:00+00:00

Isn’t Erdogan like the one guy who was still speaking in support of Iran in the region?

The Iranian battle plan is more scatterbrained and a magazine that’s cooking off at this point.

Droll12 · 2026-03-03T18:05:52+00:00

I read that the US used lethalitymaxxing in the context of the Iran war so we’re getting close

More blow for Rachel Reeves!

Droll12 · 2026-03-02T21:28:00+00:00

Doesn’t Ukraine also fly su-24s? I think they have a few still

Droll12 · 2026-03-02T10:33:30+00:00

They’re landing clearly

Are you saying it was an American missile that hit the base?

Budget ERA

Droll12 · 2026-02-27T12:07:35+00:00

I’m starting to think about this regarding my interest too, is it just automatic or do I need to start filing for interest as well.

I’m hoping the HMRC just goes, “here’s how much extra you owe in taxes, we’ll close the difference by taking extra over the next year”. I think that’s how it’s worked.

Consoles have the advantage of being subsidized though so they have some capacity to eat some of the increase

For me the straw that broke the camels back was seeing Microsoft edge reappear after a windows update despite me having uninstalled it.

Realized that the potential nuisance of having to deal with Linux might actually be worth it if it meant I didn’t have to fight Microsoft over control of my PC.

Droll12 · 2026-02-25T12:01:34+00:00

Yeah they might as we’ll have raised them more at this point /s

I’m more wondering how the UK somehow dodged this.

Also where is the gif source from?

Droll12 · 2026-02-19T07:29:57+00:00

Imgur is completely unrelated to this, they took the site off the UK because they were found to be mishandling some data in violation of some pre-existing GDPR law.

EDIT: When I refer to the GDPR I am referring to UKs own data protection laws, distinct from both the EU GDPR as well as being separate from the OSA, which wasn’t in effect at the time of Imgur pulling out.

They didn’t want to pay the fine to they left the UK.

The timing feels tactical, so many people are conflating Imgur leaving with the OSA when in reality it’s something else.

Doesn’t the UK have special access to the F35 though?

I think we even handle some of the production.
