@charlesarthur re your humid air to power, Robert Murray-Smith demonstrates similar extracting the charge from water here youtu.be/WYUwBGQS5_E

@charlesarthur A very thorough and (relatively) reassuring take on zoonosis of avian flu on this week's Naked Scientists podcast, worth a listen

Start Up No.1954: Bing’s chatbot gets weirder, Tesla self-driving gets recalled, Apple stumbles in India, Beatles v Beyoncé, and more dlvr.it/SjYJxv

@SpeakSarahSpeak RSPB recommend the liberal use of chilli powder - mammals hate it, birds don’t even notice it. Problem solved!

@SpeakSarahSpeak No, it isn’t and it will continue to subvert research funds for decades. Physicist @skdh debunked the hype youtu.be/ZbzcYQVrTxQ Consider the yield was less than 1% of what it took to *charge* the laser. Love the BBC’s “enough to boil 15 kettles”. Many less costly alts

@meadwaj @chakrabortty Thanks for this looking forward to future episodes

Giving this another push - my new podcast, Macrodose, is up and running - 15 mins every Wednesday on the top economics stories & why they're happening. This week, gloomy forecasts, austerity 2.0, and why the wage-price spiral is a bit of a myth... patreon.com/macrodose

Any thoughts on the “disappearing black hole UK finances” bbc.co.uk/news/business-… @D_Blanchflower ? Sleight of hand by government?

.@mymac #914, the one where @gazmaz tortures @Macparrot and himself with Background Sounds. ( Don’t tell them - Settings>Accessibility>Audio/Visual>Background Sounds ) Or hold the Ear in Control Centre…

@nibsuk  are just pushing the upsell with  TV & Thread. All current  TVs support Thread as do HomePod Minis and all my lightbulbs, so clearly it’s not a hardware limitation

@charlesarthur Interesting to note he suggested this could have been achieved with the use of a “pig” robot no doubt making it look like an internal explosion rather than an externally triggered one

@Tenex that would make sense. Thanks!

@charlesarthur Re Overspill Nord Stream - expert on Deutsch Welle suggests that it gets Gazprom/Russia off the hook for failing to deliver agreed quantities of gas arguing force majeuer avoiding penalties

Good ep @MacAndForth but you’re all overthinking this satellite tracking thing. Ancient civilisations predicted the state of the Moon, Apple just contract with one satellite provider and together with GPS a database of their satellites would be all that’s needed, like the ISS app

@D_Blanchflower @JimWall84 Only if swimming, that ended a decade ago I believe

@DrSimEvans @AuroraER_Oxford @LionHirth @UKERCHQ @DrRobertGross You need to specify the name of the podcast - not everyone uses Spotify hence the link is not useful

V highly recommended podcast explaining & dissecting various current energy market reform proposals Thanks @AuroraER_Oxford for getting @LionHirth & @UKERCHQ director @DrRobertGross on the show (and thanks Lion/Rob for the insights!) open.spotify.com/show/1n105pjBp…

@RippleEnergy @CornwallInsight @SpeakSarahSpeak Both this and Jamie’s recent video aren’t showing up on your YT channel - could this be because they are marked as “unlisted”? Play fine from the links you post but are showing up in the channel?

Energy prices are still skyrocketing - @CornwallInsight have predicted Oct price cap could hit £3,244 We're so pleased our members are seeing bill savings at a time when it's needed the most @SpeakSarahSpeak explains how higher prices = higher savings👇 youtube.com/watch?v=angQhP…

@helenczerski @FullyChargedShw @skdh * Q(total) not Q9 …

@helenczerski @FullyChargedShw I trust you asked about the Q9(total) produced not simply the Q(plasma)? See @skdh VERY enlightening explanation as to why fusion is unlikely to yield sufficient benefits youtu.be/LJ4W1g-6JiY

Commercial fusion energy... still not here, but there is LOTS of work going on and lots of progress being made. Is it still 30 years away? I went along to Tokamak Energy for @FullyChargedShw to find out the latest: youtu.be/QjyR3kJvLTA

@john_actuary Don’t understand why people still sign up to 12+ month contracts. Move yr # to iD Mobile which is errr Three. Monthly contract and data easily changed even monthly if you wish. Much less ££ and free roaming still. Smarty also Three and probably even ^ data HTH

...turn the page, and buried at the bottom of an otherwise empty page, I find out that I can retain free roaming if I stay on my current contract, else it's £2 a day in Europe, £5 outside. Three couldn't have made that less clear if they had tried. Oh, maybe they did... 2/2

My SIM only contract with Three is expiring. They've offered me a reduction of over £2pm to stay at my same data limit. There can't be any catch, can there? But wait a moment... 1/

@charlesarthur @TheOverspill Interesting point on surveillance in #1826 but NB new iPhones go into AirTag mode when switched off so theoretically traceable?

In today's @theoverspill: it's been 40 years since the film Blade Runner came out, and its messages still resonate - now more than ever. theoverspill.blog/2022/06/28/per…

@gtconway3d Yesterday, aged 96. Setting the bar for others? tatler.com/article/the-qu…

@myGridGB Sadly an almost entirely content free episode, all you had was there are LiFe & LiCo. Also FYI it’s pronounced ki-ree-bass dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciati…

Available on all platforms, my latest podcast discusses why so many batteries are being installed in the UK, and Dave sings a great battery themed song! anchor.fm/renewableenergy
