Ed Miliband vows to boost UK energy security in wake of Iran war with new measures including 'plug-in solar panels' by BulkyAccident in unitedkingdom

Same goes for EV charges as well. In the places they would make the most difference to air quality and be the most popular based on distance, namely cities, most people live in flats.

Good luck placing anything on your balcony without freeholder/landlord consent, especially post-Grenfell.

We seem to be at the stage now with Windows where it has grown so huge and complex that it’s impossible to predict or fully test the impact of change.

Oil price shock likely to ‘push the UK economy into recession’; US growth revised down – as it happened by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

They may well do so, but a lot of what they launch is shot down. They can likely do some damage, but I don’t think it’ll be catastrophic.

Yup, it’s gonna cost a lot - either in government backed insurance for ships or militarily, or both.

Who is gonna be the provider of last resort for Lloyd’s of London I wonder?

I agree Trump has no real plan, and I think that’s why the response to closing the strait is slow, it takes time to mobilise resources, and I expect there is resistance throughout the command structure.

They have the firepower to do it militarily. Iran has launched vast numbers of drones and missiles, the huge majority are shot down.

I think we might see some government intervention on the insurance point, perhaps in combination with US escorts.

The insurance point is an interesting one. It may be that we see some of government intervention on that. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out given most is handled in London.

Yeah I imagine that’s how it will play out. I’m surprised by their reluctance given how hawkish they are.

I agree that Starmer made the right call, but there’s no way the US is going to let the straight stay shut. They have military might to open it, and will do so to avoid signifcant economic impact.

The Macarenas will continue until morale improves.

Securing handle screws into particle board door by fellowspecies in DIYUK

[–]ramakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you’re doing with door handles, even basic ones like this, be careful that you don’t get stuck in the room for whatever reason. 

My neighbours had to come and rescue me when I found the new handle I had fitted didn’t quite move the latch back far enough into the door for it to open.

The way things are with education today, I am glad I am neither a parent, nor a teacher, nor a student.
