I would also happily accept both to go back into the EU personally.

Going back to the EU with our tail between our legs isn’t going to go down well with anyone so won’t be happening anytime soon.

We’d not be able to reject the Schengen area or Euro so I’d imagine that most remain voters wouldn’t even agree to it.

new trade deals haven’t offset EU losses.

I’m shocked that a single state wasn’t able to negotiate better deals than that same state plus 27 others.

While other countries lag behind, Norway's success demonstrates the potential for widespread EV adoption.

Decades of incentives, including tax breaks and infrastructure investments, have driven this shift.

Basically, if your government really wants it and doesn’t give in to lobbying then they can do it.

It’s many years of concerted effort with successive administrations keeping up the commitment.

Our 2024 figure for % of new cars being electric was 19.6% in the UK so I’d be very surprised if we hit the 2030 target of 80% new cars sold being zero emission.

The random policies is the thing for me.

Talking (and sometimes going through with it) about pulling out of random international agreements and organisations like the Paris climate agreement and WHO. Then talking about invading other countries (including allies) and imposing tariffs on everything and everyone.

Also, both times that he got in, it seems like he had the previous administration’s achievements as his todo list for things to undo.

It’s like dealing with a whole new country every four or eight years.

They can still argue that situation is better now but it depends upon a very specific meaning of “better” that doesn’t consider the Palestinian people’s welfare at all.

They want to delete the account that they presumably set up just to try Apple TV+

In the UK, secondary education is 11-16, further education is 16-18 and higher education is after that.

When I was in secondary education you could leave at 16.

The heated rear window one and the doubling its value one were jokes that we used to make about Skodas before they got good.

Also, what do you call a Skoda with a sunroof? A skip.

We don’t get that lag but we do frequently get it when the camera doesn’t work for somebody.

I really can’t understand the separation between teams, channels and chats. We almost never use anything other than group chats.

As a software developer I’m pretty confident that X could hand over every piece of documentation they have and we’d all be non the wiser as to how it works.

What's the point in mining the Moon if we're just gonna leave what's been mined there? Of course it would be removed.

We might use the mined materials to build stuff on the moon. Even if we were mining to bring resources back there’ll be a lot of stuff dug up that we don’t want so we’d obviously want to leave that there. We’d need to process the ore on the moon to extract the small amount of material that we’re after.

Where did you get that 10% is what would be required to affect the tides? Why don't we just say it's 90% to back your point up even more?

90% would be an obviously ridiculous number to use so would undermine their argument. Assuming their numbers are correct then it would take 10,000,000 years to remove 1% of the moon. And we wouldn’t remove all of the material that we mine so we’d take even longer than that to actually remove 1%.

Having said that, I really don’t agree with the sentiment of letting people do what they want on the moon because it won’t affect us. We should be more considerate of every environment just as a matter of principle.
