@KateFantom @_james_gee_ I saw today BP pulse use Vw Buzz vans for their service vehicles.

@UncleRuqqus @davepl1968 not if you run it upside down to access the stupidly designed power button

@KulM96 @Notepad_plus ha ha ha in two tweets you
support elon who openly uses twitter to push personal agendas and call out notepad++ saying you will uninstall and never use the app again. for *checks notes* pushing personal agendas (and leaving this app).

too much irony!

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@Notepad_plus are you likely to wander over to bluesky?

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@KlasfeldReports @pbump @washingtonpost it's wierd to expect your partner to tell who they voted for, or to be aligned to you. I've never once asked my wife who she voted for or tried to persuade her for a candidate.

She wasn't political when we first met and I encouraged her to read all candidates and form a view.

@LondonMudlark is it a mooring spike for a small boat? any signs of rope wear in the loop or hammer marks at the head?

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@joshtriedcoding Nice one.
its been a while since I worked with Epson TM series, but FYI there is a tool that you can upload a 2 colour bitmap logo that auto prints at top of every print job rather than using ASCII art. can't recall if it's standalone or part of driver.

@mikex163 @JBHenline @AntiEVidiots not to mention that it's in the power companies interest to have people subscribe to the system, so reneging on a deal would be a very short term gain for them.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@JBHenline @AntiEVidiots LOL! you had the choice to either say oh yeah I didn't know the facts I was wrong, or double down.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@JBHenline @AntiEVidiots It clearly states they paid 50p/kWh.
Also the owner would of had to opt in to the scheme.
so no

@KatherineEBoyle is this more your style?

@KiwiEV this post isn't about EVs. please stay in your lane

@JulieLovesFluff I've learned a new phrase "flagger" in the UK, diversions (which are always preagreed with council) they set up yellow signs with 1 of 8 symbols. each later turn has just the symbol and an arrow.

It works well and there is no financial advantage to sign post a different route.

@JuanLuisSerna @BoyanSlat @MrBeast @MarkRober Mark Rober and Mr Beast were the original collaborators who kick started Team Seas that funded 34 million USD towards it.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@MarkFunnell6 posting direct rather than under the original thread as there is too much trolling there. but a recent meal at @wahaca they include low/medium/high carbon traffic lights on their menu. I made a conscious change in choice for a lower carbon impact option.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@TheOceanCleanup so inspiring. well done,
One thought occurred to me watching this, is any of your research looking into the construction/deterioration of the salvage nets you are using and if this could lead to better solutions for fishing nets to reduce their plastic waste. @BoyanSlat

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@FornolesEfren @BoyanSlat It's an interesting problem. but also should the plastic consumer take their own part of the responsibility in this? much of the river bound plastic is because we as consumers are irresponsible in how we use and dispose of our waste.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@BoyanSlat as an owner of a pair of original @TheOceanCleanup sunglasses (still in use) any chance of a v2 now to help fund the next steps.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@davepl1968 we all know its driven by engagement. (good or bad), unfortunately the stupid takes often get more engagement than an intelligent well considered post that days everything you agree with. I'm sure even pausing on a post longer than typical is measured.

[Wiggo @wiggoChris]

@davepl1968 an ex boss used to get really frustrated when I refused to give (in his view) simple yes/no answers. I would always qualify anything with additional relevant data if it wasn't (to me) totally clear cut
