That implies that the others have got complete maps - which I find much more surprising. Every time that I have had any dealings with any utility companies - which I do as part of my job - it becomes apparent very early on that they don’t have anything like accurate maps in whatever area I am looking at. And not just for old lines that they inherited - as seems to be the issue here - but for things like fibre optics that I saw them lay myself just 18 months earlier.
“customers weren’t willing to pay for the added cost of cleaner fossil fuels.” says CEO of company that made $36 billion in profits last year.
Part of a wave of spam that has been hitting the fediverse recently. It is a bot.
Just report it and move on. Stuff is happening in the background and hopefully it will stop soon.
Looking good to me. Well done folks!
So this is hovering around the -2 votes so far. And I imagine that the downvotes are from people who didn’t watch and were taken in by the title.
If the same thing had been in a four-panel cartoon or a screenshot of text or whatever, it would be raking the upvotes in.
There are some pretty sharp divisions in Ireland it seems. Bonniconlon looks to be holding out as a ‘gone’ stronghold in the top corner of Mayo for example.
Not convinced about the connection. As the author mentions this is totally different to the situation in America - which is not exactly renowned for the deep intellectualism of its politics.
I’ve had 17 days off in total, using up leave. That was great, but came back this week hoping for a slow start while I actually remembered anything at all about what I am supposed to be getting paid for.
Oh no, not a chance: “Update your budgets by the end of the day!” “Deal with this damage caused by Henk!”, “Your contractors haven’t been paid by accounts, so won’t come out and do anything. Sort it out!”, “We’re auditing your climate actions - update them now!”, “Do your team’s PDRs!” etc etc.
Most of the current government ministers are parents. They are the crap parents, crap ministers & crap people in general - that are the reason that children, and everyone else, in the UK are struggling.
This article is from 2009, of course.
The article goes on to talk about research into suitable species for various climates and soil types etc.
Well, I am sure that we can always learn more, but arboriculturists and foresters have been doing this literally for centuries. There are very well known species lists precisely for this kind of work, and if we are talking about native species, particularly, then anyone who has been working in these fields will know them off the top of their heads. It us not exactly difficult or cutting edge.
If you haven’t seen any Pui Pui Molcar, then watching at least one episode might help.
Hoping that the rebellion over Starmer’s stand on Palestine will be enough to avoid total tory wipeout?
Whilst I am sympathetic to the overall aim of this, things like this:
She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain
…do stand out as being a a bit unrealisitic. I mean, how many governors of Roman Britain of any race or nationality can the typical Briton actually name? I’d be surprised if it was more than 1 and probably less than that.
And if the expectation is that anyone would know of this guy only because his chief contribution to history is “being black” then I am not sure what we are gaining here.
Typically “How many more of you are there in there?”, “Will you just be still for a minute?” and “Will you stop biting my finger?”. They seldom give any useful or cooperative answers though.
I have a day off tomorrow and will be spending most of tramping through dense and wet woodland dormouse surveying (unless it is actually raining: we make sure that we don’t get the mice wet). That gets fairly tiring after a while so the evening will just be pizza and TV with my SO - probably Lower Decks, an old Parks and Rec and For All Mankind, then under the duvet and reading for the rest of the evening.
So, yep, really living it up.
Just Extra Mature Cheddar and some Parmigiano Regiano at the moment - and that is fairly typical except for high days and holidays. I might occasionally have some Cambozola or Brie and maybe some Emmental or Gruyere - and maybe the cheddar will be Green Thunder, or maybe not cheddar at all but Lincolnshire Poacher, but I seldom have more than that except for when I am on holiday or for Samhain or the solstice etc.
Yes, but then do we really want to ban comments along the line of 'did you hear what the judge said today in that case where climate protesters are taking the government to court?".
Surely we can be nuanced enough to avoid the one without banning the other?
The tories have been incumbent for 116 years in my neck of the woods (the previous one was a whig). The surveys say that is likely to end this time. I am sooo looking forward to that.
