@jonoabroad @goatsarah overhead wires, and big bastard batteries where not feasible. Weight is not really an issue for trains

@goatsarah it's just so *craven*

Like the facist press will savage them no matter what so fuck them and be bold and honest

Racist Uncle will vote Nazi^wReform no matter what so fuck him with a .303 and be bold and honest

And I understand that putting hard numbers on things is daft but for the love of god you can sell net zero as "yes, it's a bit up front, but you get *free* 'leccy for 6 months of the year and it fucks the Saudis and Putin with a wirebrush dipped in battery acid"

@goatsarah @thelocalecho given they Know and are maximally vindictive I am amazed one hasn't been assigned to you by the Committee...

@sarahdal @goatsarah to be fair to the HRV it's trying to reduce the cost/improve the efficiency of any system by allowing ventilation without wasting heat. (Any big modern building HVAC should recover heat and pre-warm fresh air)

It just appears to suck...

@FediThing @goatsarah @stevelord the marginal cost between a trolley electric and pit-stop-charging bus battery will be negligable - electric double deck bus costs £450K, (diesel is £300K) says google, for reference. More google says £200 per kilowatt hour, big 300kwhr battery is £70K, so you'd save maybe 50K per bus

Overhead line gear is in the millions per km on a good day... and then you have to *still buy a bus*.

Or buy 4 or 5 go anywhere buses

Wires for trams great. Buses, nah

@goatsarah if they fly in the rain my cash is on the cessna

@goatsarah I've known you almost as long... poor you

@sparrowsion @goatsarah interesting, as my 4 has a random PSU and is totes fine, but the 3A with a pi specced PSU undervolts All. The. Time...

@goatsarah someone should have turned them up to 11, done us all a favour...

@goatsarah yeah putting in the channel would have helped....

This one. It's *bonkers*

@goatsarah did you see the youtube ep on the Gamestop shorting, and the utter tinfoil hatting it begat?

I didn't think there were worse numpties than ugly jpeg buyers. There are...

@goatsarah you know, when everything is heatpumps and FIR plates, the hauntings are gonna end...

@goatsarah i have spent a month trying to get my PC to boot off install media as it needed nuking to the bare metal.

USB. nope. DVD. Nope. Spent far too long beating PXE with a stick. Got every other device to work except the PC...

Then today it just...booted from the network...except ubuntu now didn't pick up the win10 install

I HATE tech at times

@goatsarah ah, hot water. Was thinking central heating

@goatsarah ta

@goatsarah got a model number to hand?

@goatsarah @mustapipa still need to drill holes in external walls tho...

@goatsarah @mustapipa nice. And yes, I think policy is more valuable than price now

For a personal example I have a flat in a 3 floor block, plenty of roof for solar amd wall space for a heatpump. But without government policy forcing owner of the leasehold to agree I can't fit them

@stavvers but it's...right... there?

@goatsarah i was idlely wondering the other day what the discharge rate is...
