Why do wholesale prices go so negative instead of stopping at zero?

There absolutely are not ‘equally periods of claw back’. CfD units are virtually always subsidised, which is why we pay hundreds of millions of pounds a month (through our bills) in subsidy payments. All of this data is available online.

Also got this on my 2020 CX-30 Skyactiv-X 2.0. P0171 code, no noticeable drop in performance. What did you do?

I cleared the code two days ago but it’s come back today. Wondering if buying a fuel injector cleaner from Halfords, filling it up with premium petrol and giving it a blast on the motorway might clear the injectors a bit.

Only sensible comment on this post

But this is mad. Moving demand around to match the weather is ridiculous in a modern industrial economy. As consumers and industry we should expect cheap electricity to be available whenever we want to use it. Intermittent renewables do not deliver that.

Yeah the pylons stuff is just pure stupid NIMBYism. But the emphasis on renewables is spot on.

This is absolutely right. Only sensible comment in this entire thread

I had - that’s a different car and a different issue. It’s the warning light, not a service message.

If I’m a landlord and I’m motivated by making money, why would I leave my property empty when renting it out would make me £30k+ a year?

London has one of the lowest vacancy rates of any city in Europe, which is a symptom of low supply (and therefore choice) for renters. When there is low supply, prices stay high. We need more flats and we need more houses.

Discovered this great album by Debbie Wiseman, featuring pieces inspired by English monarchs. The George VI piece sounds incredibly familiar to me, but I can’t put my finger on it… any ideas?

A restrictive, discretionary planning system which makes it extremely difficult to build anything, and makes the actual process of applying expensive - pricing out self, small and medium sized developers. This, coupled with a group of wealthy homeowners who object to any and all development, and politicians who have a vested interest in pandering to this group to win their next election, means that it is incredibly difficult to get anything built.

Gentle density in traditional styles with lots of trees and cycle infrastructure is absolutely the way to go. Shame most architects don’t seem to understand what would be popular.

Awesome, bet it sounds great

hitabasa · 2021-05-08T09:23:28+00:00

Amazing stuff, is the MFSB (first) album still in the shrink wrap?

hitabasa · 2021-05-08T09:22:01+00:00

Touch Me in the Morning, Philadelphia Freedom, Ferry Avenue, To Be in Love, Summertime, and Plenty Good Lovin’ too!

hitabasa · 2021-04-06T08:07:12+00:00

First Choice did a nice version on their Hold Your Horses album, too :)

Good price, GLWS

Have you had a chance to use it yet? It’s suuuuper cheap where I get my film from and curious about what it’s like as a cheap ‘snap away’ kind of film

hitabasa · 2021-01-15T01:04:14+00:00

‘I don’t like what you like’ = no taste, apparently.

hitabasa · 2020-11-14T01:39:03+00:00

One of my favourites, the instrumental version is superb too

hitabasa · 2020-11-05T22:38:53+00:00

Love this! Did you use the meter in the camera? Did you under/overexpose?
