When I tried to estimate land efficiency of biofuel transport compared with PV+EV it was worse than your beef figure, it looked to me like horses might be a better biofueled form of transport than combustion engines

There's a slight difference in that you don't eat beef for energy - but fair to point out inefficiency compared with say poultry as source of animal protein.
With vehicles the result of carrying a load a distance is the same with electric motor or combustion engine

Anyone who really knows migrants knows this. We know how hard it is to move to another country, and how much commitment and heartache it takes.

Migrants already "earn the right to settlement" through extortionate visa costs, which can run into tens of thousands of pounds. They prop up key services, including through the Immigration Health Surcharge.

Pushing the hostile environment on steroids helps no-one.

Interestingly I recall seeing reported mesasurements showing that house extract vent reduced indoor radon levels (vs no mech vent) - I was surprised but assumed due to fact it was easier to get outdoor air into the house than though the floor, so radon was diluted by increased ventilation

Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan.

The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.”

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable
AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

Yes indeed, but with fan assisted radiators you might be able to get a useful amount of cooling out of 17 C water, if the radiator capacity is generous enough and fans move enough air.

As Farage pledges to open up Britain for fracking, hilariously the Reform-led council in Lancashire says “oh, there’ll be no fracking HERE”

Self-serving shambolic hypocrisy, borne out of knowing that fracking is deeply unpopular in Lancashire - and everywhere

No fracking in Lancashire, says Reform-led council
Reform UK councillors say a wider promise to restart fracking will not affect the county.

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem.

Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.
Screenshot of a reddit post: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly. A screenshot of ChatGPT's response. It is a side view of a foetus gestating in the uterus. The foetus is head-up with no umbilical cord or placenta. Behind the uterus is the rectum, which is unlabelled. Trailing down from between the rectum and spine, extending beneath the buttocks to the inner thigh is a yellow line labelled "pudendal nerve. At the front is an oval-shaped part labelled "cervix". And then we really struggle to image describe this bit. The uterus and the bladder are both attached to a single part which is long inside, then extends downwards into a penis with a single exist. This penis is labelled "rectum".

As someone living in Germany, I can attest that external shutters & inward opening windows, which also tilt, are amazing for keeping heat out in summer & warmth in in winter. Better for sleeping too, as rooms remain dark and external noise ⬇️. Cleaning outside of windows easy too. No brainer really👍
