2/2 These assistors enable her to feed / take medication solo. Her condition, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), limits the amount of force she can apply to these tasks and has meant she needed help and has injured herself in the past. I've opened the designs up in the link attached.

Very very close.. Tyrell's flavor is Beef and ale (my first try of them and they are pretty good) I am very impressed - you've made my Sunday! Pub was the Barley Mow in Kemptown Brighton, a fine pub with a fine crisp collection

@paulheatonsolo.bsky.social Dear Crisp Oracle, I land a challenge at your feet that is surely too easy for ya?

Excellent work! thanks for sharing

This is great, any thoughts of making this simple to animate - I think this would make a great visualisation tool for showing time-series changes e.g what CO2 concentrations have looked like from pre-industrial to now? Maybe be able to make a gif from start ppm to stop ppm?

I'm curious as to your thoughts on the French grid which is not FF dominant but includes a similar RE component to the UK, does that not show RE doesn't bind a society to FF?

Money is a resource in our society and thus a present constraint our grid cannot disregard, like any historic or current engineering endeavor - I'm up for a future without it though! Let's assume it can be disregarded - what specific changes would you recommend the government make to the grid?

Just to clarify you are talking about national grids not "off-grid" solutions right? What do you think should change in the UK grid and it's supply? my opinion is that wind, especially offshore, makes sense as a major contributor to our supply all things considered - it can never do it all though.

I understood the reasoning behind wind installation is its cheap and quick, so helps bend the CO2 curve down quicker than anything else even if you need other sources to maintain consistent supply against demand. What alternatives do you think would drive down CO2 at a faster rate?
