so worked out my costs for the german trip as below, note UK is cheap as first 75KWh was done at home so brought overall cost down, would have to include 15 quid for the cost of ionity & tesla memberships. Some assumptions though, especially on petrol cost where germany and france are higher than UK
So BTC appears to have found a level for the moment

And companies must never skimp on this - see JLR and billions it cost them … and for every architect like me security should be the first thought
...but our Labour government wants to help businesses of every size to move further & faster by putting protections in place.

The campaign will encourage them to engage with the Cyber Essentials scheme.

Many measures may seem obvious to some of us, but if you don't know them, you don't know!

Because 1) don’t have the office space and 2) would lose good quality staff
The leaders of both Reform UK Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire led councils have said Nigel Farage’s call to scrap working from home is not going to happen.

It’s a huge slap down of another unworkable Farage nonsense policy by his own council leaders.

“It just went off.”

NEW BODY CAM FOOTAGE — TEXAS: British 23yo Lucy Harrison shot and killed by her father after “big argument” about Trump’s sexual assault allegations.

He admits he had been drinking.

The sweet thing is thinking the US would vote for a women? Regardless of who she is and she has a narrow coalition
Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

They are not interested in real problems but not only are nimby’s but seem to want people to stay where they are now by saying no growth
"The Green Party has a habit of supporting things in principle and opposing them in practice. It wants environmentally friendly transport, then opposes HS2. It wants clean energy, but opposes wind farms locally. It supports affordable housing, but opposes almost every building project it sees."

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

If you think about it this is what bubbles do and suck in all the resources
This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It is what they voted for in November 24 though …
"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health. The risks are so immediate and constant that it can be difficult to keep track of them all." We can still try.

Did they start this meeting with the Horst Wessel song ?
Conor Tomlinson was disinclined by Reform HQ from this event alongside Matthew Goodwin, following Tomlinson's call to ban all ethnic minorities from parliament.

Tomlinson says Goodwin agrees with his ethnic natonalist group in private but is now challenging them in public as far right & racist

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’

It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.
