@JewProud46609 @MrJamesMay Feel like you’re really not getting the concept of “May’s Britain”.

That would also only handle daily load shifting, not the weekly demand-supply mismatch @MickMechanics is referring to.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@gnievchenko Cheers, so has this gambit likely paid off for Tusk, or still too early to say?

@leRaffl @MickMechanics @tc_thrane @TheICCT @GentGrinvalds @DrivkraftDK @electricfelix @electric_nick_ @ilyasdogru @F_Rodriguez_PhD @EamonnMul @SrenJakobsen2 @EVCurveFuturist @ember_energy @grok Nuclear can load follow, newer nuclear can ramp faster. Wind & solar can't do either.

The time it takes to build is largely political, not technological, we could change that. China can build a new NPP in <5 years.

Uranium imports from...Australia? Canada?

Storage is fine too.

@prairieair @edking_I @DrSimEvans Maybe the translation is wrong, but if it's accurate then it's obviously wildly unfair and nasty to claim that Evans is a "scumbag" running a "smear campaign" for believing what he was told and posting it here.

@Layo_FH I thought that had largely peaked with ‘Woke 1’, and is increasingly seen as having gone too far in many cases, but governments and institutions tend to lag social trends. Thought the nanny state stuff is clearly still in full swing.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH Curious if you’d seen this? Sort of thing I’d expect you to have quite strong opinions on, and which I think ought to be a far bigger story than it has been so far. I can’t quite believe it, it’s shocking and raises further questions.

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.

In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.

But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH I could've worded that better, didn't mean they're the same, just that it's not clear where one ends and another begins (to me), they are subjective which is why yesterday's edgy could be today's problematic, and vice versa, ebbing and flowing.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH Main surprise, to me, was that Austria, Germany, and Italy (well, maybe Italy isn't surprising) have an age of consent of 14...

Also, the UK (and Ireland) nearly raised the age of consent to 17 in 1917, but it failed to pass by one vote.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH I'm not sure it is such a bad idea, though I can see a slippery slope argument for some absolutely mad implementations of it. That sent me down a wikipedia rabbit hole, quite a few countries have 'close-in-age exceptions', and I think our sentencing guidelines kind of do too?

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH Broadly agree, except for the bit about it being idealised, more a mix of highs and lows, and generally very messy as I recall.

Don't edgy and problematic go hand in hand?

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Electric_Maik There have been a lot of bad predictions made by Musk (https://t.co/iT1fXxUgDw), it's not surprising that there is a lot of cynicism about Tesla's Robotaxi efforts.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@Layo_FH I've only watched Skins, but wasn't some of the point of the Angie & Chris storyline (along with...a lot of the other storylines) that it was controversial and 'problematic'? It don't recall it celebrating the relationship, though I watched it a long time ago.

Pictured here are three House freshmen who are replacing Democrats in safe blue House seats, plus a guy who whose senate race in a blue state was unusually difficult because the moderate republican incumbent is unusually popular.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@DuncanLindsay @P90707435385 @baronfitzw @EJ_McGuinness Sure, you tell yourself that :)

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@DuncanLindsay @P90707435385 @baronfitzw @EJ_McGuinness Sure, just confirming that your position on this topic is that you can only ask questions about it when nobody cares anymore, and you don't see any issue with that. Have a good day.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@DuncanLindsay @P90707435385 @baronfitzw @EJ_McGuinness Huh, so now that the issue is no longer salient and the discourse has moved on you're not going to scold people for asking legitimate questions? And you've actually lost interest in the topic anyway? Interesting.

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@DuncanLindsay @P90707435385 @baronfitzw @EJ_McGuinness So is it okay to question the protocol now?

[Josh @JDStringfellow]

@DuncanLindsay @P90707435385 @baronfitzw @EJ_McGuinness The 'optics' are fine, Ed respectfully wished the best for the person before questioning a protocol that you seem unwilling to defend yourself. Completely reasonable.
