Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

We can’t store any electricity from any source. No big banks of batteries. It’s generate it and use it.

The last time I checked, the biggest bank of batteries available was tens or hundred of MW. Barely a drop in the storage ocean.

There is a plan underway to try to build Liquid Air Energy Storage plants at a few sites across the UK, but the economics are everchanging and don't stack up against battery farms to be honest.

Forget all those sex trafficked women, TERFs who get called 'TERFs' are the real victims.

At the moment I would tend to characterise the existing battery storage stuff on the grid as being to deal with peak demand requirements in specific locations, rather than something that smooths out longer and larger disparities due to variations in wind etc. Sort of like a mini, localised version of pumped water storage.

It's a jaw drop article.

No way in hell I'm actually reading it tbf.

E2a: Had a look. The 'abuse' seems to be one MP telling another that they should be doing a bit more constituency work. And someone else shouting out 'absolute rubbish' in parliament, in response to someone who was talking absolute rubbish. So yeah, much worse than anything Tate has ever done.

Oh I noticed a related thing a couple days ago - this super awkward effort to talk about census data separating LGB+ from the T. Which is explicitly against their own style guide (which suggests going with LGBTQ+) and indeed the response from Stonewall in the article. That's been a longstanding aim of Terfism and I wonder whether it's going to creep in more often in future.

In fairness, I think that's because lgb and t are treated separately in the census, so it has produced data that is specifically about lgb people.

I heard an amazing take on this recently, from one of the talking heads on that Adult Female Human film. Apparently Stonewall (the organisation) are responsible for LGB "officially" becoming LGBT and they only did that because "their work was done" (regarding campaigning for LGB people's rights), so rather than pack it in they decided to create more work for themselves by "bolting on trans and other made-up oppressions like asexuality and furries"

Utterly mundane experience.

My most romantic moment: I had just given birth – and my boyfriend made me a perfect bowl of pasta

He cut up the linguine with hair scissors, because he knew somehow what I would need when I began breastfeeding. It was the best meal I’ve ever eaten

Having had a very similar experience, I actually vibed with this one. Although my meal was haddock, mash and peas rather than the more Guardianesque slow cooked ragu of beef shin.

I'm probably just in a bad mood but seemed a rather generic experience and not the most captivating of reads. And yes the pretentiousness of the meal.
