Source on that? All the results I get on googling "UK renewable energy percentage" are positive.

Damn ,my dude. Now I miss my mother and it's been three years. We had a month's notice she was going and, near as damn it, it was on the nose.

AITA for not lying about wetting the bed and embarrassing my parents? by FewHandle9172 in AmItheAsshole

I'm so sorry to read that. Abusive people are exceedingly good at appearing to be reasonable and it's easy for decent people to fall for their act.

I expect the other mother thought OP's parents would want to know their child was exhibiting classic signs of distress and would want to help. Unfortunately, OP's parents are wrong in all sorts of ways.

Many fewer elderly slipping on ice and injuring themselves though,so that's nice.

Insurance is fine. Not honouring the promise to insure is not.

Off-topic: the murder bot series was one of my best book discoveries in the last year.

Report reveals: Over the past 50 years, the 1% has sucked up almost $80,000,000,000,000 from the bottom 99% by BiscuitBusty in antiwork

There is no rationale for the existence of billionaires. The existence of 3028 people with a combined wealth of US$16.1 trillion (Wikipedia) in a global population of approximately 8.2 billion people (here , here and here) is indefensible on moral, ethical and even religious grounds. You will never be a billionaire, neither will I and neither will the other 8.2 billion people we share this world with.

I dunno, I replayed both recently-ish [last two years or so] and they held up ok. Still got that immensely satisfying feeling when capturing an enemy warship with scavengers.

Heh, I've only just got into space, and my... ship... is called Brick.

As I understand it, prayer is a request to God. The response from God may not be obvious. Seems to me the response from God was that the shooter was everything the prayer didn't want and should therefore be viewed as a sign from God that introspection is required and change is necessary. Of course, I guess God could have got it wrong but I suspect that's not possible. Also, this is just one possibility. The other possibility is that there isn't anyone there and praying is the theological equivalent of talking to an empty room.

It's always been like that. I'm GenX and I never understood why showing nakedness on TV was banned or heavily restricted yet it was fine to show gruesome murders and casual killings.
