  1. I’d supply as well, but that would leave me without enough to line the grill for when I make a bacon sandwich in the morning. Soz.
  2. It’s our fault, really. Feeding the troll and all that. We should stop.
  3. Waaaaay too cheap. They’ll either wear out in a year, or you’ll wish they would as the damping will be so bad you’ll kill the ride quality. Youll still need a geo after you’ve replaced any part of the suspension, or annually at the very least.
  4. Dyno readings mean nothing in isolation, it’s the difference before and after that’s key.
  5. But then what would we do with the internet in the meantime if we don’t debate? Only so many cat videos and porn one can watch. They’re not the same video, btw.
  6. You supply the foil, I’ll make you a smashing hat
  7. Is the other half deciphering it when they’ve used a crap graph?
  8. A graph should be a quick and simple way to view complex data. If people are unable to understand the graph en masse, then that’s the fault of the graph not the people. I too read it incorrectly, because it’s misleading. Not deliberately misleading a la fake news, but it’s the wrong type of graph for that purpose.
  9. Would sir like a tin foil hat with that?
  10. But complicated spelling? Never heard of Bulb. Might well be easier to work on a wind turbine than a gas one, but how many wind ones do you need to generate the same as one gas one? That's where suddenly maintenance can leap up.
  11. I have the time, bit far for me to travel though I’m afraid bud.
  12. For home & business use, sure. I don’t care where it comes from, as long as it’s cheap.
  13. Sorry, I should've actually related my question to what I was looking at The BBC link GZ posted says: I mean, I get what a subsidy is in terms of the government paying part of a project, but how does that directly relate here? Kinda makes sense, but I want to make sure I'm properly understanding it.
  14. Lot of hot air on here too. Is that last link not a bit, erm, biased? Given their aims. Also, I don't fully understand what's meant by energy subsidies. Is that the companies saying that they promise to only charge X amount per unit, but they want it guaranteed before they build?

    Mine's been fine and not gone up any more than IPT rises despite two large claims, one fault and one non-fault. Like you say RS, it's hit and miss.
  16. It’s no great surprise that alternative fuel usage has gone up whilst fossil fuel usage has dropped: The political usage of taxes and wider agreements (Kyoto etc) meant that this would always be the case. More so when you add in the fact that improving technology means it’s easier and cheaper to obtain AFs, where it’s getting harder to source FFs. Ultimately we’ll hit a point in the future where we are using no FFs at all, simply because there isn’t any left. But so what? I’m not fussed about where my power comes from, I just care that my hobby still exists and that won’t change in my lifetime.

    If anyone cares, theres an addon for Firefox and Chrome that still lets you view all the pics regardless of PB. I've been using it for a few weeks now, seems flawless on FF anyway. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fix/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-hotlink-fix/kegnjbncdcliihbemealioapbifiaedg?hotlinkfix=1510258820826
  18. Using complete years only, as 2017 isn't done yet. Coal 2006 - 141.49 2016 - 28.98 Oil 2006 - 4.42 2016 - 1.75 Gas 2006 - 137.76 2016 - 140.84 Totals 2006 - 283.67 2016 - 171.57 And just for giggles: Nuclear 2006 - 69.23 2016 - 62.69 https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/data-portal/electricity-generation-mix-quarter-and-fuel-source-gb That link has a proper data table to call the numbers out on. That graph with pretty colours on is f*cking useless.
  19. Fair comment, I should've clarified further. I didn't mean bad parenting into the realms of child abuse, more that even a non-parent can see when someone is clearly leading their kid down the rabbit hole that only ends one way. I agree, wealth and location doesn't make a good or bad parent at all. Attitude is everything.
  20. Oh there's definitely a wrong way. Feral kids prove that beyond doubt. At the good end of parenting there's many a nuance as to what is better, but at the bad end it's fairly obvious when someone is just doing a terrible job of parenting.
  21. Until we come up with a new way of storing power other than using lithium, we're just smashing the planet a different way. Whatever we choose as our means of transport, aside from pedal or Shank's Pony, we're not really helping matters. As an aside, I also do not give a toss about this in the slightest. It's the most selfish view anyone can have on the environment, but I really don't care about saving the planet at all. I genuinely believe that it's not until it's proper borked and about to kill us all that we'll actually make a revolution that will save things, and if we don't then we don't deserve to survive as a species anyway. It'll all be well after I'm gone regardless, so I'll enjoy my time here as much as I can. #heartlessbastard
  22. SNP being utterly incapable at actually governing shocker?
  23. I put 37 hours into ACO over the first weekend It’s an absolute tour de force of an AC game. There is so much to do, and none of it involves collecting feathers or flags, so you just want to explore the entire mahoosive map. I wasn’t sure on Egypt first as a setting, but now I’ve totally bought into it completely. It looks simply stunning on PC at 1080/60 at Ultra, and it’s only the slowdowns that plague that version in the cities that irks at all (I’m personally seeing drops into the low 50fps at times, and have had to upgrade my HSF due to the game wanting to run the CPU at 100% for extended periods due to bad optimisation). Bayek is the best character since Ezio too, proper mean but proper funny at times too. I sorely missed AC last year, but this was so worth waiting for. If I hadn’t played Life Is Strange this year, then this would be the best game I’ve played in the last 12 months.
