Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Breakthrough in nuclear fusion could mean ‘near-limitless energy’

Researchers managed to release more energy than they put in: a positive gain known as ignition

www.theguardian.com

It is not possible for anything to be 'near limitless'. If there is a limit, even an arbitrarily large one, then you are infinitely far from limitless.

Also the 0.4MJ of 'free' energy actually cost 500MJ of electrical energy. The equivalent of consuming an entire sack of potatoes to produce one chip.

But what if we solve global warming, lift the remainder of the world out of extreme poverty and create a world of massive plenty and then people continue to consume in ways I disapprove of?

‘Absolutely shameless’: Ken Loach says BBC helped ‘destroy’ Jeremy Corbyn

Director says media has ‘rewritten history’ to expunge ex-Labour leader and attacks Starmer regime for ‘manipulating the rules’

www.theguardian.com

Absolutely shameless’: Ken Loach says BBC helped ‘destroy’ Jeremy Corbyn

Is the headline...

Further into the article, not shouting quite so loud about...

Loach said the Guardian was a “joint offender” alongside the BBC in the coverage of Corbyn. “As part of the liberal media, when those two led the silence on this extraordinary story, then of course the rightwing press will make the most of it,” he said.

You be the judge: should my girlfriend’s dog stop sleeping in our bed?

She lets the dog spend the night with them; he thinks it’s gross. You make the call on where sleeping dogs should lie

www.theguardian.com

Surely this doesn't deserve an article, the answer is obvious; dump him and get another Jack Russell that can't write letters to The Guardian.

They should just rename that You Be The Judge column as First World Problems!

Should you ignore your partner's wishes? Um, no. Next.

dog sleeping in the bed it is then

 

[equationgirl]

Should you ignore your partner's wishes? Um, no. Next.

If the dog precedes the partner, yes. If the partner precedes the dog, no.

But I wouldn't let the dog sleep on the bed anyway.

Not many great choices all round though, are there? I'm guessing that electric heating is best environment-wise, but I know that it costs an absolute bomb even at the best of times, never mind with today's electricity prices. I have electric heating only and I basically never use it because of how ridiculously it canes my meter.

Hence why I try to refrain from getting all judgemental over the heating choices of other individuals. We all operate under a broken system that needed fixing decades ago.

We run an air exchanger here, they got put in free or cheap in a government scheme to stop solid fuel burning. Does a decent job in a cold continental climate and not too expensive in terms of power though notice fair few neighbours have kept the heated platform beds that are traditional and you burn fuel to heat. Even cheap electric is tough for pensioners with not much Cash who also have access to wood.
