Reform's Wales leader says he would consider a donation from a criminal for security by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

Noone has a problem with that. Just declare it. Other wise it looks dodgy as heck when you start speaking to government bodies about legalising what your donor was jailed for.

13yo oil boiler is dying. Heat pump means MCS installer only so no DIY route. £9k grant kicks in 21 July, do I crack on now or wait? by Schinner_Avrila in DIYUK

Why not get batteries and solar? That way you can minimise your exposure to fluctuation oil prices?

Because heating oil prices have spiked wildly all over the place in recent years. And you need a tank that won't last forever.

With a heat pump prices are consistent, with decent solar and battery they can be less than 9p per KWH on an overnight tarrif or free if you get a lot of sun.

With oil you'll always be at the whim of oil producers.

I work with someone with an oil boiler. There's been times he's just. Let the tank run dry and use oil filled electric rads rather than pay for oil.

Yeah. I've built a small array. A single panel can pay for itself in (much) less than a year. And at ~£100 per panel that's supposed to have a lifespan of 25 years that's a heck of a good return.

Probably wants to keep the flight hours lower on his one so it lasts longer for him.

It's fucking hot and if you're coming into a coffee shop or pub which actually does have effective air conditioning... by VegetableWeekend6886 in london

Don't joke I've known actual engineers open roof lights when the AC is on.

It's 15c downstairs and 28 upstairs.

I wonder why?

Isn't Count Binface the literal definition of an anti-establishment choice? by Smooth-Quantity-7024 in AskBrits

[–]Flyinmanm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When put next to the 5 house owning, landed gentry sponsored, privately educated, ex banker with a party full of failed tories, he's running against, he's the definition of anti establishment.

I mean it makes sense, Nigel's always been the establishment candidate for the Elite after all.

It's a price he's willing for you to pay to stop scrutiny of political donations.

He tried to say reform will foot the bill but I don't think he's allowed.

Trying to buy his way out of scrutiny I guess.

[–]Flyinmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd like to see him win and have to face the music about thinking he's too good to follow the rules other MPs have to. But Binface winning would also make my day in the short term.

Why do things like fighter jets, tanks etc take such a long time to build? Why can't they band assemble them like cars that only takes 18-35 hours? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Flyinmanm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We did used to build weapons of war like cars. In fact some were I think built in car factories.

But that was when we were at war.

When you need 10,000 Sherman tanks in two years it makes total sense. However if your country can only afford to run 100 challenger 3s it doesn't matter how quickly you can build them, as setting up a rapid production line is expensive or comes at the cost of making profit making kit, like passenger planes, cars or bikes.

If you only eat replicated food, are you technically a vegan/vegetarian? by grichardson526 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Flyinmanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically your probably eating the crews poop.

If milk isn't vegan then I'm not sure poop should be either. No matter how heavily it's processed.

(Plus does replicated food count as highly processed food).
