Much as I would like to agree with you, Shaggy is right.

Turbines are literally ******* into the wind.

The wind literally pushes into the turbine. That’s kinda how they work.

One way I can convince you they are good though. Wind turbines are usually white, so you can paint a flag on it.

Looking at the state of the roads in and around Burnley ,how on earth are the council going to repair them when the road is flooded with super heavy EV’s and where is all the revenue coming from to replace the huge duty on conventional vehicles ,or does Ed Milliband have a magic money tree ? Presum...

Wind turbines also tend not to require their spent fuel to be buried for 10,000 years.

Plissken

UK generating capacity from wind and solar is around 48GW as at the end of 2024. There are almost 42m vehicles on the road, of which 1.6m are EVs. If we are to convert the remaining ICEs to EVs, that is an additional 40m vehicles requiring electricity to charge. Apparently the average daily usage o...

First up, the playoffs have been in place for nearly forty years so.. y'know... might be time to get over it. Second this is clearly a response to the virtual lock-in which has seen largely the same clubs promoted, relegated, then promoted again because their competitive advantages are baked in. Any...

China has adopted this technology at some scale, but I gather that it's not seen as favourably by the industry over here. One hurdle is that the batteries in many EVs are structural (as the 'skateboard deck' for want of a better analogy'.) That means that it's not just like swapping a few AA's - it...

If all the ICE vehicles on the road today were replaced by EVs, where is the generating capacity to charge all these additional vehicles coming from?

I'm sure I've read "Quarterback" used on here. Now that's taking things to the extreme!

Still waiting for someone to use "Trequartista".

Plissken

There is a shed load more than can go wrong with an old ICE banger than an old EV simply because it has a lot more moving parts. Kinda weird that people see an 100,000 mile warranty on an EV battery and say they expect it to drop dead at 100,001 miles. Many manufacturers offer 100,000 (or less!) war...

Which is exactly how it works for ICE cars now.

Plissken

They have qualified, but only because the WC is increased to 48 teams. In previous qualifications, their finishing position would have dropped them into a playoff. I'm delighted for Vitinho. Loved him in the Claret and Blue. But if he is anywhere near a start for Brazil, then they've got serious pro...

Plissken

So what is the difference if they can't afford anything better than an old ICE banger that might pack up within a year or so?

Plissken

Good your area has plenty of charging stations. One would imagine you’d sell the vehicle before it reached the magic 100K miles? Otherwise it could become a large paperweight? You do know there are more public charging points in the UK than petrol pumps, right? And do people usually sell ICE cars w...

Plissken

I’m curious as to what has motivated you guys to delve into the world of electric cars? They appear to ridiculously expensive to buy and the charging infrastructure, although improving, is still not as handy as nippy into a petrol station. And as far as I can gather, the cost of battery replacement...

I'm guessing its easy to choose how much you want to charge then?

For a public charger, I just keep an eye on the app for the charging point or the screen on the charging point itself and hit the stop button when ready to do so.

Plissken

thanks for that, it supports what I was thinking anyway. I just need to find a suitable stopping point on the way up I think to add the 33% in as you suggested and that should do me, cheers If you have a home charger, then you will (and I mean you WILL) have a mindset change when it comes to fuelli...

Plissken

400+ miles - quoted range of 372 so I know I’ll need to charge somewhere, but preferably somewhere cheaper than services. I was considering a top up on the way up and then drain coming home So assuming you have a home charge, you are working on a real world range of 300 miles for a 400 mile trip an...

If we charged each and every fan, irrespective of age, season ticket holder, location in the ground or home/away s...

Burnley have rarely generated big money from player trading, only twice making more than £15m in the last decade.

I suppose if we buy a player for £1mn and sell him for eight times as much, that isn't "generating big money". Big money not being big profit. Righty-ho.

As there always is when you reduce the public sector. I’m not saying I agree with the cuts, just that cutting the public sector is hardly an extremist policy. Besides, the policy belonged to one Donald Trump, not Musk.

Who else used "I was only following orders"?

Plissken

So why is Musk a Nazi? I know this will get the thread shut down, but I would say throwing Nazi salutes, making racist statements, promoting racist and anti-semitic viewpoints, supporting openly and not so openly racist politicians (including some that have agreed with Far Right and Nazi groups) an...

Anyway, I have a theory (probably not original) that the more wealth you accumulate, the more likely it is that you’ll die in a bizarre way. Billionaires are notorious for this, often involving yachts, helicopters and private jets.

You seem to be saying that like it is a bad thing.

Out of curiosity why do you think it’s a bad thing?

Honestly, there will be so many posters biting tongue, itching to post something negative about this, be interesting if they resist the urge to.

When people are sitting on their phones, they aren't fully engaged in the moment, which all adds to the ambience. So someone standing in a crowd, watching the band and singing along to the music while holding a phone up to record it isn't "fully engaged in the moment". Right-ho. As for your dumb fo...

Are they maximising their time there, though? For them, yes. If people buy a ticket and watch on their phone, as long as it doesn't hinder anyone else then what is the problem?

TV companies would have overturned this at the high court. Typical gesture politics by the Lib Dems. No they wouldn't. It would have been a part of the bidding for the next round of TV rights.
