I'll rephrase: It would be insanely expensive and give you virtually no benefit at all. Spending the same money on Solar thermal panels or PV to heat the water would be much better value even in winter.

No, won't work. The flow rate is too high for the surface area of the pipes and the length of pipe means you don't have enough harvestable energy available. Think of it as a GSHP. If we went 8-20m down we'd see roughly 10 degrees C (average UK air temp). Beyond that it goes up by something like...

Its a real mix. Most european countries do as does the US and Australia, but the rest of the world generally doesn't. As has been mentioned different countries change at different times so it's not even thatuch of an advantage for fellow DST countries. I'm on two projects spread over the world...

Once you have permission to fire at an enemy you are allowed to kill them. It's kind of the point. But if they surrender, or are incapacitated then you lose the permission to kill them. And being allowed to fire at one target doesn't mean you can engage anything you see nearby. Which is what 1...

The Paras completely ignored their Yellow card rules. No warnings were given before firing on the victims. They failed to correctly identify threats, so many times they failed to kill one armed person and instead killed 13 civilians. Shooting unarmed people who were no immediate threat...

Not all investigations are fit for purpose. The Widgery report was a whitewash. I'd be interested in seeing where you get your stats on the breakdown of deaths by the security forces. The Paras killed 24 innocent civilians and zero PIRA during the Bloody Sunday and Ballymurphy incidents for...

You do know the killings happened after the rioters had disengaged and were fleeing right? The Paras were ordered to capture the rioters but not pursue them. Their colonel violated his orders and they pursued them.

I don't think most of the people here have even skimmed the Saville report summary. But they're desperate to have an opinion. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/report-of-the-bloody-sunday-inquiry We've still got people parroting the petrol bombs bullshit story.

Actual soldiers are yes.

Nothing about Northern Ireland is fit for purpose. It is true now and more so when the troubles kicked off. A bigoted and oppressive government led to the, initially, non violent protests that spiralled into the riots that led to 'peacekeepers' being brought in. A fear of Irish integration and...

You might want to check that. I get it takes a while to adjust to a new year but you've had a quarter of a century to catch up now. As for the rest of your rant, I'm with you, religious types discriminating by gender is absurd, it's not ok anymore.

No, there's less than 4.7 million (that's from 2023) who'd need to use a different form of ID as part of setup, or who would have to go to a post office to do the setup in person. Or who should just get a photo driving licence anyway.

If only we had some way to provide photo ID for everyone, perhaps one where you didn't have to buy a passport or get a driving license that you might not need just to prove your identity! BTW, If you don't have a photo on your driving licence then you must be between the age of 45 and 70 and...

No, nearly all phones sold in 2019 would be upgraded as standard. Two years of updates is the minimum for cheaper brands so 2017 era phones. The App is already rolled out, I have already installed it and used it.

Women weren't allowed to race competitively at higher levels until around the 1980s. God knows how bad the village fetes were back then.

He's wrong. Although technically so am I, the current version just requires Android 10. Using the GOV.UK ID Check app - GOV.UK https://share.google/nSjgyWjGs3NmtPs9k It's amazing, the website even tells you how to authenticate without the app. Almost as if this stuff has been thought through.

Always is a bit much, but there has been a lot of nonsense posted by some people who clearly don't understand anything about this topic. That may or may not include you, the panic mongers tend to blur together. People asking where a digital ID will be, as if it is a physical object, or what 2FA...

If you're doing it right then they should be. The government shouldn't offer it. It'd be making the infrastructure at least an order of magnitude bigger, probably two, and taking on reputational and systematic risks for negligible benefit to the government itself. Apple, Google, Facebook and...

Given people here can seemingly barely operate technology as advanced as wax crayons I dont trust you or them to understand that to be sarcastic statement.
