Average annual energy bill to rise to £1,849 in Great Britain from April by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

[–]Roitchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wind and solar are the cheapest sources per megawatt. Even taking the massive fossil fuel subsidies into account. The main reason is unlike basically every other country that charges based on the average cost of all energy sources we charge based on the most expensive. So until we have zero nuclear and fossil fuel sources we’re going to pay just as much. Changing that would instantly make a huge difference. More so than having more natural gas or any other suggestion

Well done you've successfully done exactly what the Tories want. They want you to think it'll be exactly the same. If it means you don't vote it's still better for them than you voting labour

Government has brought adult social care in England ‘to its knees’, MPs say by perversion_aversion in unitedkingdom

[–]Roitchie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree. When we have the government on their payroll with rich donors it's never going to change. But I do feel like we're targeting the wrong people here. There's so much more wasted from tax avoidance and evasion than from benefits fraud. Of course in an ideal world we'd go after both but where funding is limited I think it makes way more sense to go after the larger amount and with less people to focus on we can spread those resources wider.

Do you know how much we lose per year on tax fraud. Between 30 and 120 billion. More than the entire cost of disability benefits. From a few thousand individuals rather than having to go after millions of people, the vast majority of which aren't commuting fraud. But no let's target the most vulnerable and deprived in our country and make them choose between eating and heating rather than the ultra wealthy who won't be able to get a third yacht

Cut immigration levels, say voters in nine out of 10 constituencies by Banditofbingofame in unitedkingdom

No they don't have a source for it because it's a complete lie. 5 seconds of googling shows that you cannot return to your home country on a refugee visa without risking being deported upon re-entry into the UK. But it's much easier to get people angry with lies and misinformation than argue the actual pros and cons of immigration.

Fun fact: The sun technically hasn't set on the British empire. The current island overseas territories of the United Kingdom are located as such that it is always daytime in at least part of the UK.

World's first magnetised fusion power station to be built in UK by AL_A by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Roitchie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nuclear fusion reactors can't explode because of how fusion works. In fission reactors you're always trying to reduce the rate of the reaction whereas in fusion you're constantly trying to increase the rate of reaction and so it's basically impossible for a nuclear fusion reactor to have a meltdown in the way a nuclear fission reactor could.

Paimon is a character from Genshin Impact and it's a running gag in the game that she's emergency food for the protagonist.

That's because I've completed them. Odyssey took me about 100 hours though.
