I'm sorry, it's the people burning the fuel that cause the pollution, not the drillers.
Get some solar cells and an electric car.

The length itself is not going to cause a problem if it is the correct rating. What you must not do is take a high current if the cable is coiled. Inductive heating can easily melt the plastic insulation.

This is a good example of why 115V systems are less safe. In the UK we use 230V with earthed plugs fused at 13A. It is safe to take 3kW from an extension lead. (And the ring main design typically used can deliver 30A total).

The polls are very fragmented. Reform is leading but on about 30%. A large majority of the remaining 70% would support EU membership.

I think Putsch gets over the meaning well.

We know where the name electricity comes from. It's from Greek 'elektron' which means amber. From the static electricity you get when rubbing amber.

London didn't steal anything. James 6th took over London.

He wants a review of the law that is used to proscribe terrorist organisations, with the aim of making the law clearer. That is a longer term but important piece of work.
In the short term the appeal court will have to decide.
You may mock, but no 'direct action' will help in this matter.

Some sources are saying atmospheric effects (heat etc) caused instability in the Spanish 400kV backbone. That led to the interconnector with France being disconnected leaving it with too little inertia to maintain frequency which led to further shutdowns.

More recently, one of the biggest scandals was adding melamine to milk. This contains nitrogen and made the protein content assay used at the time look like high protein - it's often priced by protein.
It was a huge disaster in China in 2008. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Ch...

His self pitying whinging is disgraceful. He didn't do anything 'because he felt overwhelmed'. Here's a suggestion for any other archbishop or bishop: when you find evidence of criminal behaviour call the police.
He and the rest of the church are part of the problem.

I don't believe in god like I don't believe in fairies. You might as well call me afairyist.

On quaker.org.uk it says 'They broke open the front door without warning or ringing the bell first ..'
There is no justification for that. Going in with 20 officers is very heavy handed and a waste of public funds. They could have just had 2 officers ring the door bell and check what was going on.

Yes, it is in addition to the 25% he previously announced on Canada and Mexico.

It's not ideal, however, 0.1% is noise. We'll have to wait a lot longer to be able to see measurable effects.

That's like the US voting with Russia and North Korea at the UN to say Russia didn't start the war.

A low rate of vaccination.
March 12, 2025 at 7:34 PM
That's not going to work. It is five times as infectious as Covid. Vaccination is the only way to avoid it spreading.

I have a friend who's daughter died of chickenpox. I wouldn't advise pox parties.

Sadly won't help again measles. It's airborne and will hang around in the room for hours after they have left.
March 12, 2025 at 6:06 PM
I'm not sure there is a treatment. In the old days it was: stay in a dark room to avoid eye damage.

If you're maintaining a list I would like to recommened author Yaa Gyasi.

For measles it is likely to be much higher already. The R0 is about 15, and if the unvaccinated are in groups, as is likely, they're probably already infected.
