It is not well known but this also works for adults too. I’m 28 and recently completed oral immunotherapy therapy for my extremely severe peanut allergy. I used to go anaphylactic from single milligram exposure and now I’m eating multiple p

There appears to be a workaround but my question is how are they going to get all of these endpoints out of a BSOD loop?

That is a huge amount of text to explain a graph of tech job openings overlaid on a graph of interest rates. Needs an editor.

As far as I could tell from a few minutes of googling the emergency stations were at West Burton, but both have been decommissioned as of 31st March this year.

I think the lede that this article buries is that this is the last coal fired power station in the UK. The UK has been burning coal since 1882 so that feels like quite a significant milestone.

Most air conditioning systems don't provide fresh air. They just cool the air already in the room/building.

Yes I think this is an American thing. In the UK cider is always an alcoholic drink.

But this would stop you getting the sand hotter than 100c - which is one of the main advantages of using sand over water for heat storage.

Yeah 100%. It is just a dumb display. One input. I don't even use the speakers or the remote it came with.

Just buy an Apple TV or similar and never connect the display to the internet.

Electricity consumption in the US has historically been higher than it is now - why do you assume that a) the conversion to electric vehicles will be overnight b) the grid can't be enhanced to cope?

I thought the general understanding of inert gas asphyxia was that it was painless as gasses like nitrogen don't trigger the hypercapnic alarm response, which in humans arises mostly from blood carbon dioxide levels rising. This report

It's 13k for a nearly brand EV, I can't see how anyone wouldn't see that as a good deal? What specifically (besides the badge) is wrong with it?

I did not say that there was a bias in the article? I said the publisher has a bias. Which they clearly do.

Personally I think taking the journalistic perspective of the publisher into account when reading an article is important.

The Corsa-e/e208 is also a shockingly good deal - you can pick a 2 year old one up with <20k miles for 10-12k.

This does mean if you're in the market for a used EV you can get a staggeringly good deal at the moment. Take this as an example: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202311013531800 The car is almost brand ne

Worth mentioning that The Telegraph (also known as the Torygraph) is a zealously anti-EV newspaper. They have a strong conservative bias and routinely publish borderline fake news regarding EVs.

Model trains require a large amount of dedicated indoor space. With millennials and zoomers frozen out of the housing market I expect a large proportion of them simply don't have the room.

I think it will be very hard to do that when the other big players move their apps off the store. They will be effectively forced to download apps like WhatsApp and Instagram from wherever Meta puts them. The net result is more hassle, more

I do not relish the idea of having to download Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp directly from a 3rd party store. For me Apple standing between sketchy devs like Zuck-co and my phone is a feature not a bug.

Yes. In Europe there is the Corsa-e and the e208. Both have >200 mile range and can be picked up less than 3 years old for under 10k.
