Yes but it's not to late to stop the worse of it, if we keep our governments and companies accountable we can limit the worse of it.

You can do some volunteering without out degrees like with St Johns Ambulance who will give you the training to be a driver, event first aider, etc. I know a guy who volunteered as an ambulance driver who was an engineer by trade. Just as an example.

It is also frustrating when different calculators have different orders of operations and dont tell you.

Can Wales join you guys? We just too polite to England what we think.

For me to keep it off was the challenge. I Started by working out how much I needed to eat for maintenance, through calculators and counting my calories for a couple of weeks.

Then I just brought a small deficit of a couple hundred cals, and increased exercise; making sure to go for a walk each day, started lifting weights at the gym.

Now im halfway to my weight goal. But it was all about setting the habits and keeping them going, turning down extra cake in the office or having a smaller lunch to balance everything out, now I dont have the same cravings I used to. Its been a slow year but I am happy with it.

Cheers mate 🙂 it is good setting up the healthy habits.

Long time reader, first time commenter.

Its going fairly well for me, had a nice chat with family the other day. Ive lost about half of the weight I want to (slow and steady in a healthy way). And I think the friendly banter with a friend is getting rather friendly so will see where that goes.

Short video here more lf a summary of the paper and what it was looking at, but not in depth analysis on it.

I'd love to see this backfire with all the skilled workers in the public sector demand a pay rise to that level because they have set a value to it 😂

Glad to know I'm not the only one doing the stupid government mental health walk for my mental health that stupidity works 😂.

Your curtains/blinds can insulate the room but you get less light. Maybe also try some foil or radiator reflectors to bounce the heat away from the wall and into the room. Personally I get really comfortable under a fluffy blanket with a teapot next to me. But I like the cold over the heat.

There is a thing called Coppicing or National Trust Link where the stump shoots off and grows new trunks from there. Its not exactly the same and some trees are better suited for it than others.

It is the purpose of the MOXIE unit, which they had proved a small amount from back in 2021. OG press release

Some quick chicken scratches for you.

I've loaded Misty Blue in and its quite a nice blue. Need to find my other converters to try the others.

Imagine the backlash and congestion if they did that.

True, tax is probably not the best word hence the "", fine is better, or just charge.

The UK has one of the highest numbers of surveillance cameras per person, this is just a fact of life that people are used to. The ULEZ cameras are typically ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), the government already know what cars you own and how polluting they are. You can't deny that these low emission zones are decreasing air pollution and London needs it. The attacks on the cameras are because they are adding surveillance but because it is £12.50p per day if your car does not meet standards so is an added "tax" for living in London which is being forced on the local councils with little thought for the individual circumstance.

There is a Channel 4 show a while ago called Hunted which mimics the levels of surveillance the police have to track contestants down, it is both scary and interesting how much they can work out and track down.
