My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn’t contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.

He’s not getting a penny my money.

Surely it’s the cube pub?

It’s easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

What happened to Giant Bomb? I used to listen to it many years ago…

There are parts of London which are hell to visit because they are overly popular with tourists. An example being borough market at lunch time, it’s all tourists and you can’t move. I don’t begrudge anyone and I can happily just avoid it but it really makes me realise how hard it must be in the much smaller cities with higher ratios.

My wife went to Venice recently with her mum and said that the service staff were predominantly South Asian, so I wonder how much of that 250k is immigrant population there to service the huge tourism industry.

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

Fascinating, and what about Basque?

Jess christ… this makes me want to poke out my eyes!

Yes! I had totally forgotten about the instant pang of shock and anger I would feel when that happened.

What is a nearby harbour? I googled it but nothing came up.

We have them in the UK. They are equivalent quality coffees to the coffee shop they are branded with.

Not quite as nice as a decent non chain coffee shop and they only use cow milk, but they aren’t bad.

Not sure I agree with you that it was that bad, but I love the strength of your reaction.

You chose to write it on the internet. I didn’t expect you to get upset at a basic question.

All I wanted to know was how they stopped you when other people were allowed to wear political clothing. I’m not implying anything.

So what stopped you wearing your BLM shirt?

Ouch!

I suspect there will now be a criminal investigation into manslaughter charges against the management. There was a lot of concerning evidence around your point during the trial but it is a process. The innaction that facilitated these murders sound like an absolute shambles.

He said it was more common than you would expect. So it is a subjective matter. I happen to agree with him as I would expect the figure to be none in a developed country.

Modern designs can also do load-following power.

I think this is a maybe in terms of what the grid needs. Will be great if nuclear is built that genuinely supports system demands.

Diversity makes a healthy grid.

Couldn’t agree more.

Not sure about the 100% point but you will certainly need long term storage which is an unsolved problem. A point I wanted to make was that with enough renewables installed you have the baseload. You would also have an excess of production at peak times that would be useful to store long term.

My personnal view is that a sensible energy mix should have some nuclear but I don’t think it is the key to solving our future energy requirements and should be minimal as it isn’t good value.

You will need long term storage in both cases. Nuclear can’t act as a peaker because you can’t quickly ramp up or down the generation. Nuclear can only perform as baseload which, in theory, could be provided by a renewable energy mix if the install base is high enough.

I don’t disagree with your point that it isn’t a simple direct comparison but any sensible energy mix will still require storage. I find it difficult to see the economic case for nuclear if renewables can be installed in sufficient quantities, given that nuclear is roughly 4 times as expensive as solar and wind.
