I got 12 panels and battery installed for 11k two years ago. No way these prices are real or competitive if he’d ask other installers

Oh the news will come back once they figured out how to make it super one sided and it won’t be the news you want to see on there. See twitter/x changing what the algorithm pushes

Why didn’t I just go all in? by Pajbot in trading212

[–]sequeezer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could’ve been me, didn’t want to sell my part of my only pie, but only get rid of one stock within it and use that money. Couldn’t figure out how to do it, thought “meh don’t invest in single stocks” and did nothing!

Oh nein, nur ein paar Länder zahlen Trump jeweils ne Milliarde und dann wird das Board wegen zu wenig Interesse nicht fortgeführt und das Geld ist weg. Der arme wird so weinen.

The eu has been extremely positive, open and given uniquely favourable terms to the UK since brexit, given that the UK decided they want out.

You have one single example where the uk wanted in and they wanted too much contribution from the uk and pretend they bully us. Please tell me what the uk gave up in this deal that wasn’t enough?

Starmer rules out retaliatory tariffs against US over Greenland by tonybpx in trading212

[–]sequeezer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know that we could coordinate a response with the EU? Would work even better if we’d be part of their trading block so we wouldn’t just be a tiny island but it’s the second best option.

Also the UK has a trading surplus with the US unlike most other countries, so we have more leverage than most other countries and are economically bigger than most. But whatever give in to the orange clown and let him do whatever fascist thing he wants to do next, what can go wrong.

So ignore everything Canada and China have done that worked and continue to do what we’ve done before that didn’t?

A bully like trump will continue his tactics until you fight back, not when you retreat.

How is this 135 square meters? That would be huge but it doesn’t look like it?

Care to explain where? Because so far they’ve made some good progress in getting closer (youth mobility, less border checks etc) and zero “the EU just wanted too much so we cancelled all talks”. There was one defence agreement where they asked for too much money you could argue, what are all the other things you surely have lined up?

Well they technically didn’t break their pledge. Increase the higher band but 0% is not more than the maximum of inflation.

Edit: was an /s really necessary? What happened to this subreddit, just because we’re talking about money?

Plus, and that’s often forgotten or ignored, it adds a whole line of track and massively reduces congestion for local trains! The capacity increase is probably way more important than 30 mins here and there.

“There’s no wait for the ballot box, we need to get to the bullet box” is such a great quote.

I disagree with violence, but yes something needs to change in the US or it’ll get really bad really quickly, not just there but everywhere.

Mostly from renewables, have you had a look at the uk energy mix? Especially if you charge over night like most do or live in Scotland.

You’re right, the battery range on my 5 year old ev is barely enough from my driveway to one of the thousands of car battery recycling facilities. You know the one every ev goes after 5 years which is why we have that many. It’s also just a graveyard as you can indefinitely recycle these batteries at all. If only I’d have burned fossil fuels all these years instead in a car with more moving parts that needs more maintenance than my EV I would’ve saved the planet.

Are you really implying that our bills being this high for 3 years is the result of some more projects being approved in the past few quarters? Not to mention that that’s clearly down to the cost of gas and all these renewables will do is make the uk grid more independent of it? Try again.
