@Gethin76 @TPC2S @active_wheels Still fighting @cardiffcouncil who won't remove some barriers 😕

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@Jontafkasi hear me out- next TDF, they should let Cav win the first stage, and then he retires in style.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

5 formal complaints with 2 different councils ongoing at the moment- all cycle infrastructure related. Really does seem like no council wants to reply/improve things. All talk, and no action.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@mwt2008 If its sunny, feel free to take my excess solar (forecast doesn't look good), or I'm on 10p off peak if u want overnight charge (North Cardiff)

@magnatom Lots of uni's guarantee uni based accommodation for the first year (which i presume you aren't liable for if grades not attained)

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@BeyondBicycle @Wheels4Well Formal complaint is in, as is FOI request. Thanks everyone.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

Just been told by local council they have no interest in removing barrier, what should my next steps be? Asking for equality assessment that (must?) have been done?
Thanks cycling-twitter

@reelbigdawson @WhitTonLabour @MarcPalmer75 @katecarrcdf @JackieJonesWal1 @JGreen_CDF @CardiffNorthLAB @JulieMorganLAB They literally don't care- there is a shop owner that continues to park on the pavement 🤷‍♂️

@nose_army ah yes, I can't read. So yea- I would assume the CPU can't draw the power it wants from the battery, so is automatically "scaling" itself down, so it can still work (albeit much slower). I would return the battery if you can.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@nose_army Somewhat guessing- but it can't supply the current/voltage to run the CPU at full speed, so laptop running way slower. Assume it's fine plugged in?

@Samanth79696510 @suburbanpirate @Duckcm18 @jesseb4me @RippleEnergy @SolarTogetherUK Have a look at history from any broker:
https://t.co/uylmWQFEkH
Or Foresight themselves, its approx 6% a year~
Their ongoing charge is 1.18%- all documented on the fund/website etc.
No idea on ripple costs :shrug:

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@suburbanpirate @Duckcm18 @jesseb4me @RippleEnergy @SolarTogetherUK 🤷No idea, I haven't invested in them- their admin must be much higher too- individually dealing with investors + 1 wind/solar farm. As an example, Foresight solar has 61 sites in 3+ countries and peak capacity of 1.1GW

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@suburbanpirate @Duckcm18 @jesseb4me @RippleEnergy @SolarTogetherUK Nope- but it's what (has to) happen basically. Investing via a single wind/solar farm is way riskier than Ripple suggests imo. Only need 1 site outage/issue/local grid and there would be no payment etc.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@suburbanpirate @Duckcm18 @jesseb4me @RippleEnergy @SolarTogetherUK Ripple have done a really good marketing job tbh. There are other (much much) bigger solar/wind funds out there that have been doing this for years- if you want something with less risk.

@Wiggle_Sport What on earth? Removing all order history on the 24th April? No option in my account to download- really unimpressive.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@HaileyPkCardiff @cardiffcouncil I asked the council (no reply) - are these plans online? 1 singular date for discussion is pretty awful.

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@cardiffcouncil Are the plans online? The last consultation finished 3 years ago on this?

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@Jontafkasi Wierd version of zwift 😉

[Bike Commuter @BikeCommuter2]

@hwylcymru48 @RCTCouncil @SustransCymru Been like this months now 😞
