In the news

Some digging later they might be anodes used for cells in in the Hall–Héroult process. Interesting.

The melter is an awesome site and the story of a german bomb probably as equally fascinating.

How they generate the massive massive energy requirement for it is also a whole heaven if youre into that kind of thing, if somehow you can get a tour it's worth every second down from the batcave entrance to the ornate tilework.

So... don't donate? Or donate and complain vociferously?

I wish I had a solution. I'm a higher rate tax payer that want to pay more tax but apparently that isn't usual. I sort of think the RBL should do more political campaigning but their constitution/charity laws probably don't allow it.

I love that kind of stuff (spent yesterday lunchtime trying to photograph Slough Heat and Power plant). Often people seem quite happy to show you round once you have made the initial contact but that first contact in the right way is a bit hit and miss.

watch the video. at least twice.
read from sources you dont support/align with.
ignore your opinion and look at whats in front of you not what you want to be in front of you my dude.

isnt there a word for that?

poppies arent far-right.

I'd say all are. In the Rit. case the circumstances as reported suggest to me that he murdered at least one of the two deceased.

And Ted Verity, who is taking over, is much further right of thinking and very Brexity. (Greig was remain)

I think there have been some recent headlines that have been very critical of the Johnson government also. Maybe pressure for not being Tory enough?

Lytton, the town north of Vancouver that reached almost 50deg C in the summer is now cut off by floodwater and landslides. From one extreme to another.

yes but how dare you whine about SUVs

I've never whined about them. I just let all the air out of their tyres.

"For f*ck's sake. We limited their resources precisely so they wouldn't be able to investigate this sort of thing..."

(At least that’s how I read it)

Please do not involve amey in anything that would get him deported. I need him to index my gears.
