That is a brilliant quote.

I dislike how religion tries to exert its influence over things but porn creates entirely unrealistic expectations in young, impressionable people of how sex and sexual relations function.

@robhawkes.bsky.social what are the chances of a LCoE comparison for the UK which includes curtailment payments. Say for 2024? Maybe more one for @janrosenow.bsky.social ?

Currently running the hot water cycle on my heat pump to cool the street down a bit. That's my pleasure.

Stafford station, 6am. There isn't a lot that drags me out of bed this early but the @octopus.energy Tech Summit is one of those things.

Yes, I think the graph needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. We've had a great year with our panels so far but I do realise it's an exception.

@octopus.energy @gjuk.bsky.social - I won two tickets for the Tech Summit but only bought one at checkout, too late to add a plus one?

You're confusing downtime with wanting to get away from them. And Brits love a good moan. Also, your personal situation is interfering with your perspective and understanding. I hope you've considered fostering or adoption. Lots of unloved kids in need of good homes.

Christopher Brown @snecklifter.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
No-one really knows what parenting will be like. Some find it hard and to some it comes easy. No, many don't examine all the implications of parenthood. You're being naive if you think so. Sorry for your situation but hating on Dads who come to the office for downtime isn't right.
100
Christopher Brown @snecklifter.bsky.social · 09/06/2025
Dads need to vent. Parenting is hard. We also live in a culture which has prioritised material possessions over family values. If you don't have kids you get cheaper holidays and a better standard of living generally. Surprise, surprise, fewer people want kids leading to a population crisis.

This made no sense to me.

Christopher Brown @snecklifter.bsky.social · 09/06/2025
Dude, get off your high horse. My kids are great but we all need a break, I enjoy my job and need to remember I'm not just a dad. Fatherhood is hard and it's 100% fine to need a break and to use work for that. Stop judging.

I remember getting one of these on a boating holiday on The Broads. It tipped over on the roof and in through the window where the dinner was being prepared. Not good.

Where do they get the money to replace a boiler when that fails? Those are getting on for £3k and heat pumps from some companies are in the same ball park. So take away gas standing charge and you've got a winner. Even more so if you can fit solar and/or battery, which does recoup the investment.

How much do you recoup with a gas boiler?

Quality of life has improved. House is the same temperature throughout the day, before it was only warm morning and evening. Also hot water took aaaages with a combi. So yes, worth the hassle. I love it.

Great idea. Installers definitely need to be prepared to run the tech at home if they are to honestly advocate for it when they install it.

I found two issues - air in the central heating system and an inefficient hot water cycle. Unlikely to have detected either without heatpumpmonitor.org

I think that's great. Fully Charged doing a piece on them sends the wrong message. They've previously done videos on why hybrids and phevs aren't ideal. I think it's been something like over 10 years since they've done a piece on a hybrid.
