Character encoding is the bane of my life, I'll check out TEI resources on the matter

Does the TEI deal with character encoding or file format encoding (or both)

Honestly this is almost as bad as actually catching and killing the poor fox (which does still happen despite it being banned). Just barbaric really, there's no need

Come on Sky News. He's already released a statement clarifying that he only believes Aliens are real due to the vastness of the universe, not that he's been briefed about actual aliens being real.

Making me look kinda cultural here (although I am randomly close to German eSports and Celtic Fans!)

Whilst they're not (yet) causing me service disruptions, bots get in the way of me trying to see our legitimate users. I'm increasingly being asked who is using us and it's getting harder to give an answer!

Honestly that's all people want.
Health care without worrying about the cost.
Low bills (why electricity is still tied to gas prices I don't know!)
Good public services (transport, recreation, community spaces)

How can it be fair when I left uni 2020 and my balance was approx Β£70k but I check it 6 years later it's Β£90k! It is basically a tax because I'll be paying it until I'm 60 whatever happens

Very apt. Baltar was also very selfish and only thought of himself above all others

Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC - Carbon Brief High gas prices are responsible for two-thirds of the rise in household electricity bills since before the global energy crisis.

Interesting new analysis by the UK Energy Research Centre, which suggests that most of the increase in electricity bills since 2021 is still because of gas.

There's a distinct lack of yellow on that image of the mighty Emperor Penguin. Is that the correct image? Perhaps its a juvenile

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

Why the energy transition must work for everyone - Energy Demand Research Centre

The energy transition will only succeed if it works for everyone. New blog by Vicki Sperrey, Nick Eyre, Uttara Narayan & Sarah Higginson explores how UK energy systems can disadvantage racialised communities and why everyday energy use matters for justice and net zero.

When did it become acceptable to react to an email like we're having a conversation in a chat app. I'd like a proper message saying thanks please!

Depends on the type of beer. Ales etc yes, room temp or on the warmer side sure. But you can't beat a crisp cold lager on a hot day.

We each tackled the big question "why preserve digital energy data?" from our own perspectives.
