decentralising your fuel production and to a lesser extent distribution is not easy either though.

Battery life on Garmin’s is genuinely terrible as soon as you have music running though. Less than the apple watch.

Ah, ok, but so does the official government website. I'd never heard of Scores on the Doors until yesterday.

I think the food hygiene ratings are a regulatory thing - https://ratings.food.gov.uk - places are required to show their stickers by law.

I'm not sure how the Scores on the Doors website, which is at least related to TripAdvisor, fits into all of this...

No one is confused if you can the UK a country, or if you call England, Wales, or Scotland a country.

You might get a tedious person saying something like "actually, Wales is a principality".

Insane.

Over the last year, wind - mostly offshore - has generated more than 35% of electricity here. Gas is down to 27%. It's really, really good. And it looks cool.

The article links to the Tree Equity Project (https://uk.treeequityscore.org/map) which has pretty detailed measures for London. Some very central areas do go as low as 2-3%, but they are probably the exception rather than the rule.

Apologies should never have if attached to them.

You see it a lot with politicians "I apologies if I offended anyone" etc. Its not an apology at that point, the if makes it clear you are not actually apologetic.

I can’t reply to zugzug underneath (is there a maximum comment depth), but it feels pretty obvious that the US President is a very legitimate target in any war with the US. Maybe the most legitimate target.

Good luck trying to get them though.

I don’t think you can judge the final battery implications or whether it runs smoothly from the Developer Preview, they often have significant bugs.

My impression from the internet is that the US is particularly weak on this - people talk about tickets for DUIs like it's not a big deal.

In the UK you get a minimum 12 month ban, an unlimited fine (which are based on income and have been quite big in the past (Dec of Ant and Dec got an £86000 fine). I don't think this approach is uncommon in Europe.
