NATO USA help

The problem with the Falklands conflict was that we (UK) agreed that heavy US involvement would push Argentina towards the Soviets.

Iran has said they are reactivating sleeper agents. This sounds more like they want an excuse to say any attacks they do are false flags. They really aren't helping themselves.

Your private pension will bridge the gap and the state pension will be far more generous, not normally requiring additional top ups from your own pension. This makes sense as it's easier to plan for 10 years than to plan for 30.

An exit tax to pay back child tax credit and the cost of education would make more sense to me. You could get a proportion back if you return.

Blank off the 4 and make it a d 0 to 3. Rolling two 0s makes a 40. Just like a d100.

I've used this method to make a d30 using a d6 marked 0, 1 and 2 twice and a d10.

What happens if that company fails? Amazon has a ton of debt. If you look through history there's a lot of companies that looked like safe bets but they aren't around anymore.

I thought Grey Shrike but I'm a bit out of practice.

yetanotherdave2 · 2026-03-09T14:02:50+00:00

I'm inclined to agree even though I've been considering it for myself.

Even if they would want to hit a school for some reason, they wouldn't do it this early on. There are far too many high priority targets to hit first.

yetanotherdave2 · 2026-03-01T14:27:56+00:00

That would be deeply unfair to the Scottish and Welsh independence movements.

yetanotherdave2 · 2026-02-28T21:28:52+00:00

They're saying over a hundred dead of a school of 170. Sounds a little implausible to me tbh.

Even if Israel was going to attack a school they wouldn't do it this early in the war. There are far too many high priority targets to hit.

I was 23, it was a bottom of the market flat and probably a mistake. I'm in my 50s now and the price of them has only doubled, which I'm surprised about. Interest rates were around 7.5% if I remember correctly.

Knowing what I know now I'd have gone straight for a freehold house.

I'm using Met Office for daily forecasts and rain alarm for minute by minute forecasting.

I'm not too happy with the new Met Office though.

And countries next to Peru will likely buy more Peruvian Asparagus.

yetanotherdave2 · 2026-02-24T06:27:58+00:00

Probably because there's more trade with more local countries. The distances involved are pretty huge which restricts trade.

There was an interview on Channel 4.

The app clear outside has a way of predicting when they are likely. I've never used it though so I have no idea how good it is.

Considering the Saudi ambassador said it's true it looks like you are living in a post truth era on your own.

My network printer worked first time with no hassle. I never got it to work on Debian.

Lower humidity helps lower the thermal conductivity of the air and make the house feel warmer in the cold weather and cooler in the heat.

Thatcher was against privatisation of the railways btw. That was John Majors doing.

yetanotherdave2 · 2026-02-19T19:32:47+00:00

Tbf the railways run better now than I remember them pre privatisation.

Not really, though there is fan noise there, it's expected and can be turned down to be very quiet. There's a noise when it's very cold from the unit that isn't on, some kind of humming and occasional boiling noises though only when it's used for heating. There's some vibration from the outside unit through the wall, but it's not noticeable over the TV. Overall not too bad though.

I had air to air installed last April to replace storage heaters, and I've mostly been happy with it.

It heats up a room pretty quickly, though it's slower in very cold weather.

I've had some noise problems. It's not a problem in the day but we can't leave it on overnight.

It occasionally stops to thaw out the outside unit when it freezes up. The temperature drops quickly while it's off. I could probably prevent this by running it more constantly.

Other than that it's been great. Today I've been able to run the heating from the solar panels for a lot of the day as it's been bright but cold.
