Our World Cup projections are ready!

100,000 simulations of every stage of the tournament.

We hope you'll appreciate the level of detail. Here are our baseline ratings for each team.

Spoiler: USA/CAN/MEX are not in the top tier but get a boost from home-field advantage.

@joe_crowley @BBCPanorama How did STW acquire its 49% stake in Trimpley? Would this not have required some kind of financial transaction? Would this transaction not have affected the valuation of Trimpley?

Here's the story of a battle between two men long ago whose consequences we're still living out.
It set us on the road to today's sewage system, where leaks are commonplace - in UK & cities across the world.
It's the most important story you've never been told...

After the revival of this old thread on UK infrastructure, I realise that I never followed through on my promise: to explain what might speed it up.

Grab a spade, and come with me. 🧵

The Braskereidfoss power station on the Glomma river, Norway's biggest waterway, had been unable to open its hatches following a flooding of the dam's control room after days of heavy rain.

The Braskereidfoss power plant gets destroyed by the extreme weather in Norway. 170 GWh/yr, from a 30MW turbine. A power loss caused water to flood the power plant, and the dam collapsed soon after

The consequence of choosing to keep burning fossil fuels

Welcome, new followers! It seems the internet is hungry for blast geotechnics* content, and I am more than happy to provide!💥

Let's dig deeper then, why did concerns about water cause the #GreatYarmouth bomb EOD team to change their disposal plans? 🧵

🔌POWER GRIDS🔌
Arguably the most important & underdiscussed issue in the pursuit for net zero.
The grid is creaking.
