The obvious solution would be to build a dyke across the Pentland Firth coupled with a bit more pumped storage for which there is ample resources for and Scotland could easily get 100% of it's electricity from renewable's. There is more tidal options in the Solway Firth but that would need to be shared with England I guess.
Full electrification of the railways in Scotland would help too; at least it's an easy win.
Scotland has for decades got well over 20% of it's electricity from renewables. There is a potential to take that well over 100% and sell it south of the border. In fact the UK as a whole has tremendous potential for tidal, with the Severn, Mersey and Conway offering really significant generation opportunities, it would be piss easy to push the UK as a whole well over 50% from tidal alone.
Really I think you only managed to kick the British out because the pesky French where meddling in other peoples business. No French assistance and the trators in the 13 colonies would have lost.
The term British English is highly offensive to an English person living in England. We speak English you all speak something else whether it be American English, Canadian English etc.
Being worse off than they otherwise would have been. The devaluation of Sterling is going to make me personally hundreds of pounds a year worse off. Fortunately I am in a position to be able to afford it, at the cost of a lower standard of living. However all those JAM's (just about managing) are going to have problems, as prices go up on just about everything from food, to clothing, electrical goods, fuel etc. Reasonable economists are predicting inflation of 5% this year. So far much of the impact of the currency shift has been shielded by six months of hedging. That has all run out now.
Aldo there are already companies that have gone to the wall under the pressure of the currency devaluation, and with the hard Brexit May and her cronies seem to be pursuing as they seem to have no idea what a non tariff barrier to trade or a technical barrier to trade is and the effect these will have on UK industry should we simply fall out the common market and customs union without deals in place that are incredibly unlikely to be concluded in less than two years we could easily loose six million jobs in the UK as the economy goes into free fall when trade with the EU grinds to a snails pace.
Nope he was refusing to do any further work for them till all outstanding legal action between them was resolved. This is a perfectly rational and entirely reasonable position to take.
I would imagine it would be as long as it takes to throw him out the country. He is Australian and grounds for the U.K. not expelling him to his home country are none existent.
Kind of the point was that you can't put the great back into Great Britain by the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
Simply put Great Britain can refer to one of two things. Firstly the largest island in the archipelago of over 6000 islands off the north west coast of Europe. Leaving or being in the EU has no effect on greatness of this Great Britain. It is the "greatest" by virtue of being the biggest of the British Isles. Noting aside that the Irish view this as a politically loaded but the reality is that is is an ancient Greek name for the archipelago so blame them.
The other Great Britain was a political entity that came into being in 1707 with the Act of Union between England/Wales and Scotland. It ceased to exist over 200 years ago, specifically in 1801 with the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. As it does not exist you cannot put the great back into it without ejecting Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom recreating Great Britain. This is an extremely unlikely scenario as if Northern Ireland where to leave the UK it is highly likely that Scotland would too. In fact the only thing likely to precipitate NI leaving the UK would be Scotland going first.
Not even that, just a decent pair of headphone will do the trick, and even that does not need to be expensive. A pair of AKG Y50, which you get for $80 on Amazon would do the trick. What Hi-Fi recommended best headphones under £100 for several years now.
In fact I would go as far as saying a decent pair of in ear buds would do the trick, say Sony MDR-EX650 which is what I use, snap at £25 in black on Amazon in the UK at the moment.
For my main system I use a Marantz MCR511 with some Q-Acoustic speakers, again nothing fancy and you can tell the difference there as well, which is why I only feed it FLAC files from my server.
Digital streaming however is way better than crappy compact cassettes. I took all my cassettes and threw them in the bin with the exception of a small number of childrens audio books from my childhood that are unavailable to purchase as CD's. These have been digitized on a high end deck and audio card by a friend and then extensively cleaned up. My nephew and nieces have loved listening to them but the sound quality is really quite bad, well below even a 128kbps MP3.
Speaking as someone with an onlay, I would go with a new tooth in a flash. Inlays/onlays dont last forwever each time they come off you loose a bit more real tooth, and eventually you will loose the tooth. New tooth every single time.
That's easy, and works the same for regrowing teeth. At the moment looking after your teeth is important, you only get one set of adult teeth after all.
The moment that you can replace and repair teeth, the incentive to look after your teeth drops away drastically. Knackered your teeth no problem just grown a new set.
Who exactly will be removing old teeth, implanting the seeds of new teeth and doing all the repair stuff. You guessed it dentists, though they will require some retraining in the new techniques, but as an IT professional no sympathy there. They will in fact be busier than ever.
The group that are going to have find new jobs are all the people involved in dental prosthetic's. Nobody is going to have false teeth for example when you can just grow new ones. Even things like crowns, inlays and onlays will go the way of the dodo, just remove the tooth and grow a new one.
So the future is bright for dentists, remarkably less so for those involved in the production of dental prosthetic's and associated industries.
Hee, hee the bricks that my house are made from manage to achieve this with me doing nothing if you crush one of the bricks form the house with a hammer and stick a strong magnet in it, a substantial portion of the brick sticks to the magnet.
Even better the slate tiles in the roof also do a really good job of attenuating signals as well. The overall result is so bad/good (depending on your viewpoint) that I need to deploy a femtocell to get a usable mobile signal inside the house. The big plus is that the WiFi spectrum is all mine:)
The only holes in my Faraday cage are the windows and I could easily fix that by replacing the double glazed sealed units with ones made from low-emissivity glass.
Power density for storage in a static and basically spatially none constrained environment is largely irrelevant.
Basically it does not matter if the battery pack for my house weighs 500kg or 10 tonnes, because unlike in a car I am not hauling it about all the time it is static. In addition space is also less of an issue for similar reasons.
Where lead beats lithium is firstly in instantaneous power draw which is what the poster was referring to.
Lead also beats lithium due to that with a little care to make sure you don't get a hydrogen buildup it is also far less likely to burn your house to the ground.
I also suspect that lead probably has better longevity than lithium, it certainly has simpler chemistry for easier charging and discharging.
There are two major faulty assumptions in this argument. Firstly that demand for 18650 cells is flat. If demand for 18650 cells is growing even the loss of a major user like Tesla could no long term impact on prices and potentially very little short term impact either.
The second major faulty assumption is Tesla get's their batteries for Panasonic, and Panasonic are heavily involved in the Gigafactory. The idea the managers at Panasonic can't see the writing on the wall and adjust production accordingly is naive in the extreme.
There is a large volume of high quality TV that was recorded long before 16:9 was a twinkle in anyone's eyes. In fact some of this TV is among the best *EVER* produced. As such I expect a requirement to play 4:3 format for the rest of my life.
Hum, 1TB of FLAC from ripped CD's is over 2000 albums. At 320kbps MP3 it would be over 10000 albums, and if your bicycle touring or backpacking then frankly 320kbps MP3 is just fine and dandy.
I think people have very little idea how little space music actually takes once compressed even losslessly in comparison to modern storage capacities.
Which provides the perfect solution, not registered for at least 12 months as an organ donor at the point you need an organ, then no organ for you. Heavy advertising as you bring in the scheme and a 12 month grace for those reaching 18 to register. Also change law so revlatives can't over ride your wishes.
Really you need a citation! This is well know fact and the wikipedia page is a good jumping off point if you are not aware of what was going on. Oh and for the record it was not confined to just this city, but also manu other British cities where men of mainly a Muslim background abused young girls of an almost exclusively white ethnic background.
The tragedy is that in 1996 there where over a thousand excess deaths from salmonella as people switched from beef to other meats assuming that the choice was zero risk. So the scare back in 1996 resulted in roughly 1000 people losing their lives trying to avoid a disease that if they where going to get they where already infected as the really dangerous material for infection had already been removed from the food chain.

We getting rid of Northern Ireland then? No so it's still the United Kingdom then.

I would just screw up some scrap paper tight and stuff it in the hole.

That just about describes every American car ever made though and they have sold in their tens of millions, so it's hardly a barrier to making a car.
