@Arcfunmi Good job there is no wind in Holland, this looks really dangerous. Much better to use a double hoist.

I genuinely think @virginmedia have literally the worst customer service I've ever encountered. Their website is awful. Their agents are terrible. Their phone system is crap. It seems purposely designed to frustrate

Batteries: To survive a 14 day 'dunkelflaute' when the wind doesn't blow anywhere across Europe, Britain would need to buy and install TWICE as much battery capacity than the world has ever made in its history so far. 100, 000 installations as below This is a non starter

The Associated Press
Climate change worsened by human behavior made 2025 one of the hottest years ever recorded. Also, the three-year warming average has crossed the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times set in the 2015 Paris Agreement for the first time.

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets. I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated. Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off? Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it. Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours. None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer. You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets. Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you. Think. Before they take everything. 💷🇬🇧☕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫖

It is best to be a prepper and costly to do it correctly. But if you’re 3000 miles away when needed, you’re toast. Have to live where you can survive, or your prepper dreams are smoke…

The Silicon Valley Billionaires Who Have Designed Our World Have Planned Their Escape Many have their survival bunkers, private jets, and New Zealand citizenships Or in Zuck's case, Hawaii Mark Zuckerberg's compound on Kauai covers 1,400 acres. Underground tunnels connect the main structures. An 18-foot water tank with its own pump system. (Pictured below) Five thousand square feet of underground space. The doors aren't standard security. They're metal filled with concrete, designed to resist blast waves. Escape hatches accessible by ladder. Self-sufficient energy systems. Self-sufficient food production. A 6-foot wall around everything. Workers sign strict NDAs. Those who mention it on social media are fired immediately. Cost: $270 million.¹ Peter Thiel bought 477 acres in New Zealand. Secured citizenship through an "exceptional circumstances" clause anyway. Later called it "a backup plan in the event of a pandemic or global societal collapse."² Reid Hoffman said it became code among Silicon Valley billionaires: "Buying a house in New Zealand is kind of a wink, wink, say no more."³ Between 2015 and 2017, seven Silicon Valley entrepreneurs purchased underground bunkers and installed them in New Zealand. Average price: $3 million. Luxury models with shooting ranges and theaters: $8 million.⁴ Sam Altman was more direct. In 2016, he disclosed his stockpile: "Guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to."⁵ The potassium iodide is for radiation. The gas masks are military-grade. The threats: lethal synthetic virus, AI attacking humans, nuclear war. Ilya Sutskever, former OpenAI chief scientist, proposed building a bunker for OpenAI scientists before AGI release. Quote from internal meeting: "We're definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI."⁶ Bryan Johnson sold Braintree for $800 million. Now spends $2 million annually on anti-aging. In 2023, he extracted one liter of blood from his 17-year-old son and infused the plasma into his own veins. The vampire metaphor became medical procedure. Performed on family. At extraordinary cost. Hoffman estimated more than half of Silicon Valley billionaires had purchased "apocalypse insurance."⁸ They built Facebook. They built PayPal. They built LinkedIn. They built OpenAI. They built the systems that shape how billions of humans communicate, work, and think. They understand technology's trajectory better than almost anyone alive. And metaphorically speaking, they're digging their own graves ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ¹ Wired, Dec 2023 ² The New Yorker, Jan 2017 ³ The New Yorker, Jan 2017 ⁴ Forbes, Aug 2018 ⁵ The New Yorker, Jan 2017 ⁶ New York Magazine, Dec 2023 ⁷ Bryan Johnson Twitter, Jun 2023 ⁸ The New Yorker, Jan 2017 via Stephen Klein

@PassPixi The pass pixi makes a difference to the driver's that have good enough eyesight. Strangely, wearing tattoo sleeves in the summer is just as effective.

@RosieP4 @CommunityPlann1 Because once they get 'planning' developers build for profit not to satisfy a need - for starter homes, social housing, bungalows etc.

Insulation is a money-saving way to keep your home warmer in winter. But it can be expensive, and incredibly convoluted to instal. But now there's the potential of instant insulation in a spray can. 📹: none222279 / TT

This ruling is a joke. PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny. Michelle Mone should have to pay the £122m personally. RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Hedgehog Cabin
Hedgehog Cabin@HedgehogCabin·
Often I hear people say, "I know I have hedgehogs because I see empty snail shells." Hedgehogs don't eat slugs and snails. They eat caterpillars, beetles, larvae, grubs and a few insects. Slugs and snails carry lungworm, deadly to all mammals, including hedgehogs. If you see empty snail shells they are the leftovers from amphibians, or some birds - like this thrush here, using my exposed cherry tree root to winkle the snail out of its shell.

For those keeping track (and who isn't?), the planet is now at day 3 at 1.65C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. While MSM sells outrage 24/7 with Kimmel, Tylenol, Putin, Israel... collapse just doesn't make the cut. Do folks care about the end of everything anymore?

Mass-scale solar panel developments shouldn’t be used on prime farmland. Put them on car-parks, motorways, roofs and brownfield areas instead. Our domestic food security must be prioritised and protected.
