The scary thing is British driving ability appears on the high end of the spectrum from my experience.

The worse thing is speeding which is normalised.

The roads are just shit and full. When you go to a part of another country with same sort of traffic and narrow roads its becomes apparent Brits drive well.

Look you don't understand I need to speed so I can get suck on traffic faster. It allows me to get to my destination earlier (I don't care what proof you have that it doesn't). Nothing else matters.

I will not be taking questions, just getting mad at people for not having common sense.

Go fuck yourself.

Heard of so many people losing their phone. Then they try to log into something and the company (quite often google) says "I don't give a fuck if you know your passwords I'm never letting you log into your account get fucked, don't call I won't answer"

Yes. England (and the rest of the UK) was build on exporting ideas and people. Ideas like education, law, science.

Now England is in a new century which is importing ideas from the rest of the world. It doesn't seem to be going as well.

The Witchcraft Act 1735 finally concluded prosecutions for alleged witchcraft in England. The 1800's in England was more enlightenment than current England. God help us all.

That's going to be a one year or one generation solution to the problem. Then the situation is even worse.

China makes more renewables than the rest of the world.

Look at completed and under construction. Wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, pumped hydro.

50% car sales are EVs.

10% of GDP is clean tec.

A large part of emission growth is rapid increases of the petrochemical industry. That's not going to last long.

The energy demand increase is almost entirely being met by renewables and increasing. Its going to drop very fast.

Lemmy has such a bad understanding of capitalism.

  1. that's the united states of america. Not the UK.

  2. Lobbying isn't capitalism. The government needs to be involved in capitalism.

But finally, finally after all that. The core is energy production is not a monopoly it is a largely free market where many businesses and even many countries can create energy production in the UK. Home owners, co-ops, France nuclear, Norwegian hydro, gas, wind.

What you are talking about is electrical distribution being a natural monopoly. The National Grid (Great Britain) is largely a single monopoly but that's not where the price comes from. The UK has a lot of oversight of that and inter connectors and offshore wind leases and even maximum pricing. How are companies going to shaft consumers when the UK government limits the amount they can sell for.

Well then you need government regulation.

But that's not the bread and butter of capitalism markets. It's the edge cases

How longs it got to be for someone to be indigenous?

Or is it just based on skin colour?

Loads of black tribes moved into south Africa.

Who is that?

But why? Because of investment that's my point.

"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

 

Figure AI, a robotics innovator, and BMW, the German automobile giant, have revealed remarkable advancements in the Figure 02 humanoid robot’s capabilities. 

Operating on a production line, the Figure 02 robot has made a significant leap, achieving a 400% increase in speed and a sevenfold improvement in success rate.

"The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

"This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

"Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

"the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

“Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

 

"Waymo regularly takes its autonomous vehicles on winter road trips to test the cars in snowy environments. In 2017, it was Michigan.

This year, Waymo will hit multiple wintry locales, including Truckee, California; Upstate New York; and Michigan, from the Upper Peninsula to the metro Detroit area"

 

Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

 

"There is no evidence of a large rise in suicides in young patients attending a gender identity clinic in London, an independent review has found."

"Prof Appleby's review concludes "the data do not support the claim".

And he added that the way the issue had been discussed on social media was "insensitive, distressing and dangerous".

"A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said decisions on children's healthcare must follow the evidence at all times."
