Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades Solar panels are usually sold with 25 to 30 years of performance promises. But what happens after that, when the warranty language is long gone and you are

Looking at six solar arrays in Switzerland that have been running since the late 1980s and early 1990s, the team found most panels still produced more than 80% of their original power after three decades

Agreed. The person who said "Lillian, can I come in?" sounded more like Nigel than George".

That's a long time. It's Merantun Way rather than Merantum Way, BTW. I don't know why, but it's a common error.

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

In a house, robots are painting, writing and playing music, with smiles on their faces. Outside, in the pouring rain, a human empties a wheelie bin into a refuse vehicle while another sweeps the street with a glum expression on her face. A third human is cycling down the road with a Just Eat food delivery on his back, while a fourth walks along the pavement, arms filled with packages from Amazon.

How much is a #PintOfShires these days? Dave was charged £10.80, so maybe it's £5.40. #TheArchers 🍻

RB Kingston council yet again demonstrating that they don’t care about public health. Disgraceful decision yesterday to permit yet another toxic wood burning pizza van to devastate AQ in the borough. Putting profits of a greedy business before the health of a community. 1/2

The shaded area highlights areas that may be "blind-spots". The Trixi Mirror improves the situation when mounted alongside the traffic. trixi-spiegel.de/aktuelles

London in the UK, but many European towns and cities too. The "Trixi Mirror" (Trixi Spiegel) was invented by Ullrich Willburger after his daughter, Trixi, was run over by an HGV driver and had life-changing injuries.

I suspect that a bollard or 2 at the back of the footway would fix it. Or maybe reposition the street sign. The dropped kerb was not constructed as a crossover. It's being used as a crossover (evidence on Streetview)

Two social media posts. 

The first is from Keir Starmer and reads: “The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.” 

Below it is a post from Ed Davey that reads: “This cop out isn’t good enough. Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it, whether that’s Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.”

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

To me, it sounded like Jazzer whacking George with the bottle of Chardonnay. He was on his way to The Bull and encountered George. He was enraged by the "No one can stop me" stuff I reckon. #TheArchers.
