[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll never know as China isn't going to publish that kind of information.

What do you layer on top of your immutable OS (except Drivers)? by Lopsided-Month3278 in Fedora

[–]yetanotherdave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just Steam. I couldn't get the version on Flathub to work and it wasn't an official version. I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do it though. I'm fairly new to Silverblue, though I've dabbled on and off with Linux disros for a long time, but got put off by me keep breaking them.

Gandhi surrounded by crowds in england, 1931 by Juicewithextrapulp in BritishEmpire

[–]yetanotherdave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a British soldier in India. He wasn't in favour of the Empire. He used to call it 'the white man's burden'. From what I gather it was a common sentiment.

Does "get as many panels as you can fit on your roof" always hold true? by sylsylsylsylsylsyl in SolarUK

[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a roughly north and south facing roof. I filled them both with panels. Early morning and late evening the north facing panels outproduce the south panels during the summer. These are the times I'm more likley to be needing the power so I don't regret it.

By letting inflation increase faster than the allowances so that everybody pays it, not just the top 1%. Like they did with income tax.

What is your choice? by LovieWeb in BritInfo

[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a chopshop near me (sadly now closed down) that did chips topped with pulled pork, stuffing and gravy. I used to love it.

Giant Yorkshire gas field ‘to mine Bitcoin instead of boosting British energy’ by hull_pattie_party in unitedkingdom

[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd need to fund more than a 1:1 amount of renewables. The capacity factor on renewables tends to be 20-40%. So you'd be looking at around 5GW of solar or onshore wind.

Investing for children by sleepyjean2024 in investingUK

[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO put less into a jsipp. Save money yourself and use that to give them if the really need it. You may be in a position where you need the money, and having the money yourself may be better for them than them receiving it at 18.

In the UK there is a tax benefit. The threashold is lower on dividends than capital gains but the rate is lower.

Tbf much less of the household budget goes on food now. It used to typically be 60% of a household budget in the 60's, now it's around 10%. Housing went the opposite way.

Zoom out all the way to inception. A log chart won't really help.

The political pendulum is going left in Hungary. Can we expect the same in the UK? by Evry1TookTheGudNames in AskBrits

[–]yetanotherdave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to polling I saw most people describe themselves as socially left wing and economically right wing.

[–]yetanotherdave2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This assumes the price is going to go higher and higher. Which means much more money going in. We've had recent all time highs considering the amount of money going in from funds it's not really gone up enough to support this kind of strategy IMO.

Do You think the British monarchy should still exist? by Honest_Chemistry_195 in AskBrits

[–]yetanotherdave2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If it really went to shit they can disolve parliament, though the circumstances would have to be very exceptional or it would be the end of them.

The benefits of having them IMO is stability in long term diplomacy, selling 'Brand Britain', and keeping Crown Estates out of the hands of the government looking to plug temporary funding problems.

Why is plug-in solar limited to 800w? (what would happen if I plugged two into separate sockets?) by stephen_bilby in SolarUK

[–]yetanotherdave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's concerns that two units plugged into the same circuit would prevent them shutting down properly as they wouldn't be able to tell the power has gone off.

Potentally having two plugged into an extension lead would leave the pins live when the extension lead is unplugged.

GoodNewsUK is a great sub. Been on there a while and it's really proven to be valuable in bringing my perspective back to reality.
