I suspect those numbers are grossly inflated, given Britain's short day
Do you not understand latitude and its effect on the length of the day? The average length of a day in the UK is very likely the same as where you live. In summer, days are very long in comparison to anywhere in the lower 49.
I had it in my mind that the next general election was required to be held in 2024, but since that is wrong, let me adjust my percentages:
1. There is a zero percentage chance of a new government this year.
2. There is a 99% chance of a new government early next year.
The Tories are resigned to losing the next election, so their priority has changed to bunging as much cash to their wealthy friends as they can. They clearly have no shame and give zero fucks.
You have misunderstood the article.
What it is saying is that 60% (3 times 20%) of the electricity consumed in the UK could be produced by solar farms and onshore wind.
Just in case you are skeptical: Annual electricity demand in the UK was 310TWh in 2023 while this proposal is that onshore wind could produce 95TWh and solar 130TWh (from the article).
What's missing: Offshore wind and rooftop solar.
We'll see. We're 95% likely to get a new government later this year
I believe that you are wrong about that.
The number is 99%!

I have the best link, especially regarding the Guardian story:

I wonder how often incidents like these happen? Boeing is in the spotlight now, so these are likely to be reported more than usual.
This.
The very scary incident (plug falling out) gets lots of attention and suddenly other incidents, which would not have been newsworthy before, are now newsworthy.
When I walk into my doctor's office for a 3:00 appointment, my appointment actually starts at 3:00, not 5:30.
Where is this magical medical center? My experience of doctors in several states, going back decades is that, if you have an appointment at 3:00, the one thing you know is that it isn't going to start at 3:00.
I have experienced both healthcare in the US and the UK's NHS. The differences are that:
1. The US healthcare is expensive.
2. The US healthcare is delivered in locations with nicer furnishing.
3. You are much more likely to get unnecessary and expensive health services in the US.
Your Amazon service center must be better than mine if you often get things in one day. I ditched Prime over the poor service (plus how degraded their streaming service has become), My packages almost always took more than 2 days.
I have moved now, but for a few years, we got 2-day shipping without Prime. Amazon's warehouse was only a day's drive away, and Amazon hadn't figured out how to delay shipment for non-Prime customers.
Now that I have moved across the country, we must be close to an Amazon warehouse, because same day shipping is frequently an option.
I went into Best Buy recently because I wanted to buy a new keyboard and actually try it before buying. Would they open a box for me? No! I could buy it an immediately return it, but I could not be bothered with the hassle.
I can frequently get stuff from Amazon the same day, so, what is Best Buy's market? People who don't know that you can buy stuff on the Internet?
Yeah, perhaps bad lawyering?
Yes, because we simply don't fund the public defenders sufficiently for them to put on a good case.
You can't get your time back, but he should certainly be compensated.
His "no contest" plea is likely to make that very difficult to obtain.
It's not hard for Hollywood lawyers to be baffled. Apparently they thought that the Tasmanian Devil was invented by Disney and not a real animal.
Also, even the obviously biased first link shows that the Ivermectin had more hospitalizations and more use of ventilators.
Ivermectin was added long after the study began. If anyone signed up to get Ivermectin, it's very unlikely they would be have received it, due to the number of arms,
Pure speculation on your part.
This study was poorly conducted and didn't show any benefit to Ivermectin. But, hey, if you get Covid, please go down to your local feed suppliers and get some Ivermectin paste for your own use.
I don't need a placebo controlled experiment to show parachutes work.
But this isn't like a parachute, which has a binary result: it's a highly subjective in most cases -- essentially, when did you feel better.
How did you come to the conclusion the participants were self selected?
Because, unlike you, I actually read the paper:
from May 17, 2020, people across the UK could also enrol online or by telephone.
But there's no legal or ethical issue with a doctor prescribing the human-version of Ivermectin tablets for COVID-19,
Again, you continue to push the strawman that people have said that prescriptions of drug formulations approved for human use cannot be prescribed off-label. No one is arguing with you about this
Clearly, you have an issue here that you are pushing, but I can't really determine what it is.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
