Make buses free to use for all, ban all car journeys under 20 minutes (largely unenforceable, but it needs to be done), reduce subsidies on fuel and instead subsidise bicycles, micro mobility and accessible mobility, build bike lanes and safe pavements, allow zoning of more retail inside residential areas so cars are needed less day to day, encourage late hours retail, turn parking spaces into green spaces.

These policies would lead to cleaner air, hit our environment goals, less dependence on foreign fuel supplies, greener spaces, healthier population, therefore taking the strain off the NHS. It'll create jobs as there will be more evening retail jobs, building infrastructure always improves the job market, and none of this is difficult to implement, none of it is costly, and all of it benefits the entire population of the country, not just London or the wealthy.

I'll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.

This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it'll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.

The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.

Such a great series, Toby Jones is so wonderful in this.

Twice. Once at the end of Final Fantasy IX, realising who was monologuing the ending at what that meant.

Second one was at the end of What Remains of Edith Finch, pretty much for exactly the same reasons.

I've used "I know something you don't know" far too many times, along with "I don't think that means what you think it means." They're far too useful in conversation.

It's not stupid if you're an oil company trying to increase profits, then it makes perfect sense to make your oil guzzling death machine as big, bulky and inefficient as possible.

I just made two Italians cry by showing them this.

That's an occlupanid, a fairly common specimen, but still worthy of respect.

2005 was a bad year for cancelled sci-fi series that were good, actually. Surface, Threshold and Invasion, all excellent, all cancelled after one season. I'm still upset.

Let's go!

I use swag, which is a pre-configured nginx with hundreds of sample configs for a lot of docker apps. It also has certproxy installed for letsencrypt and some added security. Worth looking at, imho.

If you have a pixel, graphene os is really good, very easy to install, and doesn't have any AI bloat. I've been using it for a few months now and cannot recommend it enough.
