Chatting to @sammynb about this reminded me of this, when this individual appeared to be a true force for good in this world. It’s the first time I’d heard of him and I thought the application of this sort of tech was inspired at the time. Not so much nowadays 😑 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/elon-musk-wins-50m-bet-with-giant-battery-for-south-australia-11141165

From your article Sounds like a small scale domestic set up. If the tech giants start driving this it’ll completely change the sector with investment into research and the technology required set up costs will reduce quickly.

The advantage of them is independence and reliability for the tech industry. Google and Amazon will drive this and they’ll start popping up everywhere iyam https://www.sciencenews.org/article/small-modular-nuclear-reactors-amazon Nuclear is a no brainer if you can protect the infrastructure from physical and IT attacks.

He’s not leaving office unless he’s in a wooden box…he’ll crown his successor beforehand…

On BBC Scotland this evening

Half of Isak’s problem is lack of decent service… you could say the same about Chris Wood when he was here too..

Am sort of more coming from the angle that there are 4 games in the same city so 8 sets of supporters out and about, all bar one kicking off at the same time, including supporters of two of the biggest teams on the planet…

Just looking at the Sunday fixtures apart from our own….who the fuck planned this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah it’s his Almiron “6 months” wtf do you expect? Ps where can I forward a fuckin sympathy card for your poor bloody wife to?

I’m watching channel 4 news on +1. Also watched the Villa match last night which I should’ve enjoyed far more than my crippling fuckin jealousy would allow… they’ve sold one of their best players last summer and still improved, their recruitment at this stage looks inspired; Onana replaced the departed Douglas Luiz and has been great but is now carrying a knock and was subbed early, Rodgers from Man City looks fuckin brilliant and Maatsen was the reason many Chelsea fans were ok with Hall coming to us, he looked mint last night too…

Thatcher gave UK athletes the choice as to whether they went to the Moscow Olympics in 1980 (the yanks called for a boycott due to the recent invasion of Afghanistan) all apart from dear old Geoff Capes. As a serving police officer the fuckin rancid old bitch prevented him from attending or he’d lose his job. So I always felt a bit sorry for the cunt, even though ACAB, obvs

Brilliant news for you and all your family @Christmas Tree

Do we think that the DoJ or any other apparently accountable body are making contingency plans for violence should Trump be declared to have lost? It’s all very well Harris winning, but in some ways parts of the US may be lost along the way….looks to me like local Trump cult members are likely to attack certain state Capitols etc. The National Guard will likely flood DC but the US is vast.. they’re unlikely to be able to protect democracy everywhere, the individuals on January 6 were very highly motivated. That was a dress rehearsal for what’s about to come…

22 years ago today…maybe we just don’t read newspaper reports of football match anymore but this reads (brilliantly iyam) like a real period piece, written whilst the game was going on. I was actually looking for a pic of Buffon’s gloves with the Tyne Bridge on them (I’ve definitely seen a pic, anyone with time and better Google skills?? 😆) when I came across this…. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2002/oct/24/newsstory.sport10

Divorce number 4 coming up

Shes posher than the fuckin queen that one

I love the old Football Manager squad when they strike up, the indignant protests of the terminally entitled….anyway…. 1. Theres very likely moderate to large issues behind the scenes due to the frankly clumsy arrival of a new DoF 2. The squad is undoubtedly a bit stale with some players still involved who Rafa bought and who played in the championship 3. A lot of these and fringe players have the power of decent and relatively long term contracts meaning they’re hanging around like a bad smell 4. PSR has our financial hands tied tightly round our backs 5. Our best players aren’t for whatever reason playing at their best, mostly due to fitness issues as far as I can make out. Our best players are also, even when fully fit, prone to inconsistency. 6. In spite of all this, If we’d taken the chances we’d created in the games v Everton and Brighton we’d have won both and have been on 17 points level with Villa in fourth. Am sure that doesn’t console many on here because we didn’t win either, and the reasons we didn’t win are largely due to points 1-5. Am not sure whether this squad and manager are likely to get themselves out of this trough. We’re still owned by people with no track record in football ownership and after their frankly miraculous start they’re maybe wondering what their next move is now we’ve hit a bit of an impasse. I look at Villa, they’re owned by V sports group, who own a share in a number of clubs. They’ve fucked up a bit (appointing Gerrard and Smith eg) but they’re going great now. Bournemouth look a really well run club too, they’re owned by people with experience in running sports clubs too. Am not sure as it stands we can say NUFC are particularly well run and that’s from top to bottom. Do PiF know what is required? The sad loss of Darren Eales won’t help that either. In view of all that I think we’re right to be a bit concerned. There’s lots of issues and they’re unlikely to be all ironed out in January or possibly even next summer. The structure looks right on paper but it’s stopped working to the benefit of the team on the pitch. But, as I’ve said, we still did enough to win the last two games. So cheer up ya miserable fuckers 😜

I thought Murphy was shite yesterday? Make your minds up ffs

I saw the cunt … when he was skidding into the rear section of my car😆… he was going too fast and he hadn’t seen me creep out… anyway, am not taking lessons from Ford drivers on a fucking thing 😀🖕🏼

Tbf, ref correctly gave a yellow then @sammynb’s mate Jarrod Gillette told him to look again…

They were 40+ yards from goal and they were basically level when the foul was committed… I’d be fucking fuming if it was given against us…
