Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report
  • the article states that drax burning wood produces four times the CO2 of radcliffe burning coal; however it fails to mention how much electricity was produced by each one. i expect better from the guardian, but we didn't get it in this report.

    Help Finding a Game
  • trailers always make a game look good, that's their job. when it's released, if it really is any good, you'll hear about it if you keep an eye out!

    Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows?
  • a big factor here is dogs. if you have your pet with you on a lead, and there are calves(baby cows) in the field, sometimes a normally docile cow herd will be very protective of their offspring. generally if there is no dog, cows realise you are not a threat.

    Why Toyota Is Intentionally "Falling Behind" On EVs | Morning Brew (10:10)
  • well for a start it produces 0 gas emissions at point of use. we still have to sort out tyre fragments and brake dust, and ensure the electricity grid is non-polluting too. but every hybrid car is burning petrol or diesel, just the same as we've been doing for the last 100 years or so. recent research in the uk has shown that plug-in hybrids are often not plugged in because it's too much bother.

    Google Messages' text editing feature is live for beta users, and it could come to you soon
  • it only works if you both have the 'RCS' chat option enabled within your sms app. so if you switch your rcs to off, you won't be able to edit your sent texts and senders will not be able to change messages you've received. however, rcs messages are often faster than standard sms.

    JK Rowling in ‘arrest me’ challenge over Scottish hate crime law
  • this is very insightful. if she hates trans people, so be it, hard to change people's opinions. if she spreads that hate all over the internet, that's exactly what this law is intended to prevent. I have a trans friend, I don't understand why they would want to be the opposite sex, but if they do, why not? they are a friend. Doesn't cost me anything to let them dress/behave how they wish. live and let live. I would love to see Ms Rowling arrested. She should keep her hate to herself.
