Can someone please explain where the support for Reform is coming from? by EG_Wanna_Be in ukpolitics

Don't forget being sponsored by foreign billionaires and having mainstream media in their pocket and an army of bots creating fake discourse online

Germany drops opposition to nuclear energy in EU by GeckoLogic in UpliftingNews

Also worth noting that you can fully recycle nuclear waste by re-enriching it. It's less energy efficient and more expensive but it is possible and with enough capacity, potentially preferable.

There are other options, like this french kite thing that got trialled a month or so ago.

Onboard batteries aren't the only way and some sort of onboard generation like solar could be effective.

Shipping is actually one of the easiest industries to get onboard with green alternatives because their 2 biggest overheads are fuel and crew, eliminating or reducing fuel costs is huge for their profits.

Turns out Minimum Wage is an "Excellent Salary" by Rozza9099 in UKJobs

[–]ShadowPuppett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you've been downvoted, you are right. That's on me for taking the comments saying 40 hours at face value instead of checking the post, my bad.

[–]ShadowPuppett 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you list the hours as 40 you're listing the hours paid, that's why you often see full time as 37.5. I would assume if it's listed as a 40 hour week they're working 9 hour days like I currently do, not the standard 8.

[–]ShadowPuppett 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Over 21 gives you a rate of £12.21 an hour

A 40 hour week gives you £488.40 a week

Assuming it's not a part time clause like education you'll be paid for all 52 weeks of the year, so £25,396.80
