I pass this project regularly and I keep meaning to look up what's going on.

An archimedes screw hydro-power project!

Looking forward to seeing what comes of it. They reckon, 100kW, which is fab. Why there aren't more of these across all rivers I don't know.

We love the Slow Ways project. Many of us have probably walked Slow Ways routes without realising it! 🐌🚶

Support the project to link villages, towns and cities in Wales and the rest of the UK by walking a 'slow way' near you!

Here's their latest newsletter https://lnkd.in/dR9ZvTgS

Just a reminder that I run a wiki called Pass It On about where to send things at the end of their useful (to you) life.

It's really just focused on the UK at the moment - don't know if that will change in future.

The flying spaguetti monster has decided to send his son to earth too!

Ok all you #Linux gurus out there, here's a question.

My Plex server (T20, 16gb ram and a couple of Tb of discs ) is running #Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS with ESM enabled.

If I were to actually type 'sudo do-release-upgrade' on the command line to go to 18.04.6 LTS, what is going to break?

I am 40 years old, and this is a lot of money for a lot of small pieces of plastic. I still desperately want it! #homealone #bestchristmasfilm #lego https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/lego-ideas-home-alone-21330?cmp=ref-202110-ha_laun

Remember when every TV pundit suddenly realized nurses, bus drivers, postmen, delivery people and janitors were "essential workers"?

Now, the same imbeciles are noticing that cooks, servers, truck drivers and others are also "essential workers". And that life without restaurants or opened shops really suck.

Soon, the very same idiots may well realize that moving entire industries to China and having just-in-time supply chains because $PROFITS is not such a good idea.

What follows is a small part of a much longer thread on Twitter

"On British television, they are actually debating whether they should rescue migrants who are drowning.

Think about that for a second."

I have posted a few screenshots but I am not sharing any of the utterly reprehensible opinions.

I understand fully why people feel the way they do on both sides, but any human being, could one day, find themselves and their loved ones seeking refuge and safety in another land.
