Join me and invest with Freetrade. Get started with a free share worth £10 to £100. The probability is weighted, so more expensive shares will be rarer. T&Cs apply. Capital at risk.

Unfortunately, my Internet provider (@zeninternet, AS13037) does NOT implement BGP safely. Check out https://t.co/nN0fhhUJCF to see if your ISP implements BGP in a safe way or if it leaves the Internet vulnerable to malicious route hijacks. via @Cloudflare

@ChrisGPackham This isn't the first time, very sadly. I hope it's not a standard operating procedure.

@johnredwood There isn't competition if the price for electricity is set by the price of gas. Consumers can't buy non-gas generated electricity for non-gas prices, so there's no demand driving non-gas based competition.

Can someone explain how granting 100 additional licences for more UK oil and gas contributes to the 2050 net zero goals? I mean in numbers. More energy from oil and gas is more CO2 to reduce to zero, right? Certainly more than energy from renewables, isn't it?

@abbaskins Thanks @abbaskins! Off the top of my head I'm not sure how to set themes, but it'll almost certainly be a default user setting in the registry, like the regional settings. I use tools like SysInternals procmon to monitor registry change whilst doing it manually, so you could try.

I read the @guardian and I've just found out I'm having #tofu for dinner. Guess that means I'm in the #wokerati. 🤣#sorrynotsorry

Englefield House and Grounds recently hosted a live demonstration of more than 140 drone flights as part of a major aviation technology launch. Reading-based @altitudeangel chose to stage its 'Automated Skies’ event at Englefield – read the full story: https://t.co/v3DoOy5irg

The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.

@SpaceX I've always been told to leave the rocket polishing till later when working on time critical tasks, but I've often wondered, do rockets actually NEED polishing?

Not sure how I feel about @elonmusk buying @Twitter. Free speech is important, but it shouldn't mean anyone can say anything without consequence, and that's where the complexity lies.

@lawrencegripper Totally not over the top, perfectly reasonable if you ask me. How else is she going to charge her phone in a few years time?!

[Rupert Benbrook @rupertbenbrook]

@thameswater wondering how long I have to hold on the phone to report sewage pouring out of a drain in my garden? (caused by a blockage in your pipe according to Dynorod) 30mins+ so far.
