Ah yes. That classic bogeyman of F1. Any time someone gets criticised for anything, just blame the British press. Be it when Alonso does a move the stewards doesn't like, Max getting booed at Brazil in '21, etc...

As if most of the complaining about this clown doesn't come from people directly in F1. E.g. Max, Lewis, and others calling his swearing ban nonsense.

Yes. Imports/exports are as follows:

  • France, 7.6%

  • Norway, 3.3%

  • Belgium, 1.5%

  • Denmark, 0.9%

  • Netherlands, 0.6%

  • Ireland, -1.9%

There's a remaining 0.1%, which comes from pumped energy storage.

It's been hovering around the 0.5% to 1.5% mark for years, but it's finally gone now.

For the past 12 months, this is how the energy mix of the UK has looked:

  • Wind, 32.1%

  • Gas, 26.6%

  • Nuclear, 14.8%

  • Biomass, 7.0%

  • Solar, 5.1%

  • Hydroelectric, 1.4%

  • Coal, 1.1%

The remainder gets imported, mostly from France and Norway, so is likely primarily Nuclear and Hydroelectric.

Stopped watching netflix because they banned sharing accounts and £18 (24 USD) monthly was too much for just one person. Cheaper plans didn't have 4K or 5.1 audio, so it felt like a waste when I couldn't even use my setup as it is meant to be used.

Never watched prime because I refuse to pay for something then still see ads.

Now I either source stuff by other means (🏴‍☠️🦜) and put it on my media server, or I use BBC iPlayer. Not sure if that's a thing outside of the UK, but zero ads and decent quality programming is something I'm happy to pay their fee for, especially when it also goes towards funding ad-free TV, radio, news, sport, podcasts, etc.

It's fucked how greed has completely ruined the streaming market. Back in ~2010 it felt like the market was going in such a positive direction.

Eh, not everyone is fit to be a moderator.

I don't feel I have the time (this issue is made worse by my timezone not aligning up with the most active hours for communities), nor do I have the maturity and level-headedness to be a fair and impartial moderator.

E: oops replying 3 days later. I'm surprised this thread is still in my feed...

Ngl the idea of the chief engineer of all people being split into good and evil copies is quite scary. Imagine what they could do to the shop with that knowledge.

Coming from the guy that tried to blackmail his team into under-fueling his rookie teammate's car, who constantly stokes conspiracy theories of xenophobia against Spaniards whenever he gets criticised or punished for on-track behaviour, and who directly benefitted and was involved with Crashgate?

Lol. Whatever you say, Fernando.

He's moaning about the team's fuckups. Doesn't mean the brain drain issue or car development mistake is anything to do with him (because they aren't).

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Jos did not cause the brain drain. Jos did not cause development problems. He is not involved with the running of the team.

It wasn't anything to do with him. Not one iota of it is his fault. Zero. Nothing.

I struggle to see how anybody could even think it is. You seem to believe he works for Red Bull F1... what do you think he does?

Nintendo does still make good games, and they're the only ones who seem to care about multiple people playing together while sitting on the couch, as opposed to focussing only on online multiplayer across multiple systems.

Which is why it's so annoying that they do evil shit on the side like this. Nintendo are litigious to an absolutely callous degree. Wankers.

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I feel dirty for agreeing with him on this lol

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

As much of a cunt as Jos is, Red Bull's brain drain problem, and the other problems the team has had recently, are nothing to do with him.
