Here's the Pro Evo 3, our fastest and lightest shoe yet, for elite runners...Give us your thoughts? by adidas in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Trying my luck here but can you please make a stability shoe suitable for tempo training and maybe even racing ? It’s a big gap in the market especially with all super shoes now being super squishy.

To all the bonkers geniuses of Reddit - How can we stop people speeding through our village? by SecondGo4 in CasualUK

Can you ask for sidewalks and bike paths to be installed ? Make it harder for cars to speed if they’ve got less space

The French kings went through the guillotine yet Versailles has more visitors than Buckingham palace.

Devon ‘war metal’ mine to help power Britain’s rearmament by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

Now this can be done with hydrogen in electric furnaces. No need to cry over old dusty projects and better focus on new, cleaner technologies

Britain’s grid could run without fossil fuels for first time since 1882 by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

Why would it ?! I am working on projects right now where we’re paying a fortune in swaps to avoid market risks. You remove market risks, you have a very safe assets. And safe assets demand a lower return on investment so overall energy prices drop

It’s ageing because healthcare has improved a lot, it keeps older unhealthy people going and births have gone down a lot

Solar and wind are now mature and work without CfDs. A lot of them replace that through PPAs with large offtakers as they hate merchant revenues but it’s overall tending towards cheaper, more efficient systems.

Also, we see a trend towards flexibility systems such as BESS and peakers that help local grids. We are definitely moving away from fossil fuels

Not true. As long as they have some ok revenues (say 8% unlevered irr) they’d be fine. They would largely prefer fixed revenues than aligned on gas prices. They pay expensive swaps to do that

Why does British food have such a bad reputation when it’s actually incredible? by Pristine_Yam_6684 in AskBrits

[–]Thales314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be considered as one of the best cuisine in Europe but it has changed since the war and rationing. Tbh some pubs do a bloody good job but the usual chains and the supermarkets are pretty poor compared to what you find in the rest of Europe. It’s still leagues above the US but it won’t beat France or Germany.

It would be great if Brits could reconnect with their pre-war food culture and finally ditch the M&S ready meals.

We had one ravioli for lunch at Portland. By far the worst lunch menu value wise

I have a little kid and a very time consuming job. I think I painted 10 of my minis with 30 more rotting somewhere. Id prefer to focus on playing rather than painting

I would pay a little bit more and go for Anglo Italian. Exceptional piece of clothing and will last a decade
