So it works really well.

Exceptions are possible. Money isn’t everything for everyone.
7·2 months agoIf you look at the graph, 0GW.
It’s unlikely that the batteries stored power for several days. Highly likely that abundance of solar is the source.
2·2 months ago“On 31 December 2009, rather than being fully privatised, the mint ceased to be an executive agency and its assets were vested in a limited company, Royal Mint Ltd. The owner of the new company became The Royal Mint trading fund, which itself continued to be owned by HM Treasury. As its sole shareholder, the mint pays an annual dividend of £4 million to the Treasury, with the remaining profits being reinvested into the mint.[58] In 2015, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced a £20 billion privatisation drive to raise funds, with the Royal Mint being up for sale alongside other institutions including the Met Office and Companies House.[55]”
“Then in 2016, the mint announced plans for Royal Mint Gold (RMG), a digital gold currency that uses blockchain to trade and invest in gold. Operated by CME Group, the technology is to be[out of date?] created by technology companies AlphaPoint and BitGo.[69]”
Bring it back into public ownership. It’s been partially privatised and the vultures are extracting what they can.
It’s not completely nonsensical for the government to lose a small margy on making currency. It’s useful and the harder it is to counterfeit the better.
But both “New Labour” and the Conservatives have a lot to answer for when it comes to our national assets being lost.
It’s based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.
6·3 months agoWell a lot of us went emo or goth, so black?
But then the skaters just went baggy, lots of girls went baby pink and hello kitty.
Every group had their own shape of jeans, we wore shirts on top of shirts.
A lot of it was just the cheapest stuff that could be made in the colours no one hated and it’s not gone away since.
But it feels like every shirt had a logo or picture on so I’d say “graphics” was the colour of the 2000s.
It would also negate the point of the legislation that means they have to accept stamps in the first place.
You should not have to visit a post office in person or online to post a letter.
There are letter boxes in walking distance. If you’ve bought a book of stamps everything you need is in your desk.
That’s the system we have and it would never be designed by a business that way. But it’s a business that’s taken on that system alongside the I infrastructure for it.
If you genuinely depend on the post accessibility to it is important. It could be modernised but it was working before, modernisation and cost saving are not the same thing.

For each fluid oz. use 30 ml
It’s only approximate but the official measurements for nutrition actually do it in the US so it’s not a real unit anyway anymore.
Stamps no longer have a face value. They are 1st or second class.
As they put up the price each year it’s becoming common to buy stamps before the price rise and sell them after.
The margin on the last rise was ~13% on 2nd class stamps, 8% on first class stamps.
13% has been roughly the average every year since 2005.
So you can absolutely buy stamps at less than “face value”. Someone who bought them 4 years ago could easily give you a 20% discount and still make a profit.
As stamps are not allowed to expire (or have to be replaced if they do) this is a safe investment.
Royal mail have encouraged this to inflate sales in the short term and are suffering from those valid stamps still being available now with no further revenue.
Taking the face value off stamps is what’s caused this problem.
There was never an investment opportunity in buying a 90p stamp that was still worth 90p postage years later.
But buying 1000 2nd class stamps that are always worth 2nd class postage has been an inflation beating purchase.
Or they go close to bust and get renationalised.
If Labour are smart about it they’ll keep the USO in place and when it’s shown the business isn’t profitable take the assets back into public hands at a reasonable price.
The key problem with the new stamps is there’s no way for someone to check the validity themselves.
It’s also just a barcode, so a fake stamp that gets used with that barcode first doesn’t get stopped and the legitimate one does.
There have definitely been some batches where the barcodes have leaked.
22·3 months agoHey I’m just checking in with your account status. Definitely just that, not hoping you’ll but anything…
All emails companies send you are designed to get you to spend money.
It’s an ad.
Of course if that ad comes with a discount I might not be unhappy to get it. But if a(n)
status messagead comes in reminding me of pizza and it’s on a day they want me to pay full price for dominos. Then I don’t want that message.Either I’ll feel hungrier or poorer.
Honestly, Zoom just has a hilariously high frequency of vulnerabilities being discovered.
291·3 months agoLet’s set the sentence for executing an innocent man to, death.
The first barrier to the death penalty is to make sure verdicts are right 100% of the time.
After that you can begin the debate about **whether it’s moral at all.
Proportional representation does give a minority voice to these people.
It’s the cost of fairness and it is useful to demonstrate minority views are disregarded for no reason other than because they’re the minority.
How’s that FPTP election going? Nice and stable, no extremists likely to overthrow democracy or anything?
1·3 months agoBankruptcy is seen as a bad thing. In reality it’s the part of market forces everyone has forgotten is important.
If something we need becomes unstable in the market, the government has to provide it and usually does on a break even basis.
Base load electricity will likely have this future.
So to disappoint. This is a shopped title.
But the real thing isn’t much different.
Anyway, here’s the title track.

I now want to know the metric and imperial units of population.
3·3 months agoThey’re doing similar things to the IDF.
I put them both in the terrorist state category.
Both terrorists, both governments.
When fusion or fission occurs you get new atoms.
It’s Hydrogen that’s existed since the universe cooled enough for electrons and protons to make atoms. Seconds after the big bang.
That’s most hydrogen.
It’s never been fused into heavier elements just still sticking around and caught in the planetary part of the solar system rather than the sun itself. Or any previous suns.
There’s some helium like that but most helium was formed inside suns later, and heavier elements all formed later in suns or supernovas.
