It's actually the revenge of that MS Office paperclip thing that used to popup and say 'I see you are writing a letter, I can help you'. The paperclip got mad we laughed at it and dismissed it, so it mutated and is now going to come back and kill us all.

I frequently report drivers to the police using Tesla cam footage. The leftindicator cameras is at just the right height to catch drivers driving down the hard shoulder of the M61 in morning. A still image from one such video is below. Lorry driver received 3 points and a £100 fine.

But it's not really a 6 hour limit, it's a notional 12 hour limit.. up to 6 hours outside off-peak, plus off-peak hours. In the examples below, #1 gives the household 11 hours of 7p, #2 gives it 10. #3 gives it the normal 6.... (1)

We saw who Starmer was when he had 10 pledges for his bid for the leadership and broke them all (maybe he did do no 10, but the other 9 were just taking the piss out of Labour party members (which I was at the time).

Great day for solar, so exporting 50% of the home battery in the next 2 hours to help the grid and make some cash!

Love it when even in darkest December the solar panels are creeating enough juice to power the house and even the charge the battery up a little bit. Feels like a major win.

Solar panels are battling away valiantly and managing to power the house (albeit with a low load) and charge the battery. Not particularly fast mind you, but I'll take it at the backend of November.

So where is the other £1.2 million? And why are the police not talking to these grifters about fraud charges? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...
