Thanks for the link.
One time I found a Yeovalley QR code on the inside of the lid of a Tesco plain yogurt. Contract food manufacturing is weird.
Hopefully Aberdeen council will be open and honest about the details of just how expensive and unreliable the hydrogen ecosystem was for them

Two scientists look at a monitor attached to a large apparatus consisting of pipes, tanks, vessels and hoses. The first scientist says "I don't get it. The reaction is running perfectly, but we can't account for 7% of the heat." The other says "Have you Asked the Professor?" The first replies "We're not supposed To disturb him when He's in his office." On the other side of the apparatus, one of the pipes goes through a wall into another room where it warms the water for a hot tub in which the professor relaxes.

Good news! Cheap electricity and mining for lithium in one: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How wasn't he cancelled for Nabokoving his own daughter?
Yes, we cooked a lot on the stove too on our old boat Luna Betty, hence my miscalculation for Charlotte.
When speccing the battery, I'd recommend 4x daily use kWh, if possible. I under estimated, oops!, because this boat doesn't have a solid fuel stove. All electric fridge, freezer, small kettle, caravan induction hob, microwave, air fryer, pressure cooker, toaster!
We slightly over specified on the panels with two banks of 4x 450W. These past few gloomy weeks have shown that is still not nearly enough if the sun doesn't actually shine.
Mr Narrow here with the technical details - we have a 2kW Victron solar controller connected to a 7.5kWh LiFePO4 battery connected to a Victron 5kVA inverter. Luckily I can usually park the car close to the boat in the marina, using a variable 3-pin charger that can do 6, 8, 10, or 13A.
A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

The news of its cancellation was a real gut punch to the Acorn fans. I focused on Linux after that.
Hmm, seems quite software heavy, but what do I know. I also graduated in Mech Eng and have been in software ever since.
A friend of mine graduated in Mech Eng back in the '90s and has worked for Ansys (just merged with Synopsys) ever since. They have this UK placement starting August 2026: careers.synopsys.com/job/horsham/...

My current job has a large library of maths heavy processing routines, some of which has comments about how it was auto-converted in the 1990s from Fortran to C with f2c. The variable names are as cryptic as 'F' and 'XX'.
Ooh, fast Fourier transforms. Those are the basis of MP3 audio compression.
Is this set in the same universe as Charlie Brooker's Touch of Cloth?
Brilliant you're collecting pound signs instead of dollars.

You must be using one of those Vee Pea Ens I've heard about.

Maybe! Steve Bell, for years for The Guardian, drew David Cameron as a condom filled with spam.
(An image search for the artist and subject should do it)
Now you've reminded me of the late Clive James describing a young Arnold Schwarzenegger as looking like a condom full of walnuts.
I mis-read as "clever clogs" 🐶

I knew straight away it was going to be an oast house, as the other option of a pair of pottery kilns was far less likely.
