My basic understanding is it will reduce the current price of government borrowing. Also they were concerned that existing gilts held by pension firms would be so devalued that they’d trigger some kind of mandatory sell-off (with the associ

68f is 20c, I honestly don’t know anyone in the UK who has their thermostat higher than that. I know plenty who have it lower though! Is it an energy-cost thing?

Would the harvest stop if those drones were remotely-killswitched though? It would if a tractor/combine/etc. was.

I thought all ketchups were about the same, until a Polish friend brought some back with them (Pudliszki). I never knew ketchup could taste like actual tomatoes!

UK Border Force also uses a Tekever AR5 UAS over the English Channel to look for people crossing. It could be pretty useful in a SAR-situation though; 20 hour endurance carrying 50KG. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/uk-borde

Surely they'd just bill you in arrears, in the same way your carrier does if you make a long-distance call.

They started promoting this in the UK in ~2013 when the planning laws were relaxed[0]. The early conversions were pretty poor I think; badly-sized and without enough natural light. [0] https://www.gov.uk/government/new

JCB is working on hydrogen-powered heavy/plant machinery to replace the existing diesel models. Batteries don’t last long enough for a day of work.

Would have been better to ban the plane’s manufacturer serial number.

I was thinking what proportion of red-light-running (by cyclists) is because they don't want to lose momentum, and whether that will be improved with e-bikes.

617k is roughly 11% of admissions for that year. That alone doesn't explain the situation.

Cheaper to install or cheaper to run? My understanding was that the solar heaters were relatively cheap up-front.

100%. I do LHR-JFK fairly regularly, and getting back to Heathrow is always a reminder of what a major airport should be like. Excluding current staffing/baggage issues.

That train is the Heathrow Express, just need the JFK equivalent and you’re sorted!
