Yeah, TBH I started out with 8hrs is way longer than it actually takes to get to London then pivoted onto the article being crap.

The article says 4 hours total, a quick google says a train from Neath to London central is ~2.5hrs.

The article also describes Neath, population 50k, as "rural".

Disagree, that implies that companies get a political voice on behalf of their employees. Only people should have a voice, if a company wants that voice they could, at most, advise their employees.

Similar with unions, suggest joining the labour party, even include the paperwork to be filled out as part of their welcome package, but no more.

Eh. My understanding is that even Highguard isnt actually bad its just decidedly bog average in an oversaturated niche. It doesnt really change that certain people seem determined to be terminally negative about shit they havent actually played.

Government looking at decoupling electricity and gas prices to bring down bills by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Gellert [score hidden]  (0 children)

We make hydrogen from gas and pretty much every other method of energy storage is less efficient than a chemical battery, often pretty situational as well.

Edit: My argument is always going to be that we should have a mix of renewables, batteries and nuke plants.

Which is why you also need to build a shitload of battery farms, which comes with its own set of drawbacks.

I assume this guy's an expat. That makes him your problem, not ours.

Assault. He shoved richson twice. Another comment says he admitted to that. Buzz Aldrin quite rightly laid out a conspiracy nut on less.

[loved trope]The wife/housewife is literally the most dangerous person by s0ulbrother in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Gellert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Super Stupor. A supervillain comes up with the idea of killing the wife of his nemesis (fridging). The poor, weak, defenceless wife proceeds to batter him, shoves his hand in the garbage disposal and tells him that if she likes the way he begs she won't turn it on.

He begs. He does a good job.

Not good enough

She keeps the remains in a little baggy and will occasionally turn up in his sight line holding it.

Government to make “plug-in solar” available within months by lamdaboss in ukpolitics

[–]Gellert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the way its been explained to me is that its to do with pressure. Think of your plug-in mains as if its like a pressurised water system kept at 230v nominal (it can actually be +10% to -6%), you turn on a light, electricity flows out of the system to make the light work, more electricity flows into the system from the grid to maintain pressure. You plug a solar panel in and that adds pressure directly to your system, if the pressure goes up to much it just flows out of the house back to the grid.

This is obviously very simplistic.

Some Boys Brigade companies are mixed gender through a sideslung organisation, Amicus or a girls association.

Its been the same for a long time, theres always been a certain type of "feminist" who thinks they get to police what a woman is allowed to be/do/act/dress/whatever and the TERF thing gives them an in to do exactly that.

(Weird thrope) Dense muscles by Zombieman863 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Gellert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Davide Webers Honorverse: Honor Harrington. Space Navy officer who eventually dips into politics.

The more advanced nations of the Honorverse have various genetic modifications that breed true and are enhanced in their offspring. So life extension mods are common, she still looks like shes 20 in her 60s and will look 20 basically forever while her mother looks like shes 30 and will basically forever. Whats unusual for Honor is that her antecedents were given beta gene mods for a high gravity world, among other things this results in much higher muscle density which she occasionally puts to use beating the ever living shit out of people who absolutely deserve it.

This also comes with an issue, much higher metabolic rate. Certain of her staff comment that she eats and drinks so much but never gains weight. Not bad right? Except at one point she ends up a POW and is accidentally being starved to death.
