In the UK I’d suggest anyone who owns their own home get solar panels, a battery and some form of air conditioning (if not a full heat pump/boiler replacement) ASAP.

You can’t directly stop the government doing terrible things, but you can dramatically slash your own energy bills and make sure you can survive heat waves in comfort.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

I read that as “Count Binface” and wondered what in the Doctor Who was going on… 😳

Given what happened to the top guy from her training class, she’s probably long dead… ¯\(ツ)

I have to use Windows 11, New Outlook and Excel for work, so… frequently.

No. But we’re not trying to encourage people to drive more motorcycles.

We want to reduce the barrier to someone using a pedal bike, and if they have to fart around trying to find a helmet or worry about getting a ticket, they’re more likely to just not bother and use a car instead.

No. Obviously I think if you can wear them you should, but making them required reduces the willingness of people to cycle, so as a strategy for swapping from car to bike, it is less effective.

I had a great discussion on Mastodon about the logic of making bike helmets a legal requirement or not. I learned a lot and actually changed my mind on the subject…

They can advertise, they’re just not so in-your-face and will have links to Gamble Aware as part of the advert.

Almost as if soldiers and their support systems aren’t, in fact, trained to fight crime. Funny that.
