Also, this plan will never happen as we will be out of office on July 5th and Sunak will be living in California by July 30th, says Dimly . . .

Meanwhile, here in Scotland - where the water supply has always been publicly owned - Scottish Water announced it had received permission for an 8.8% annual increase.

Advertising, political parties and religions. All of them.

WTF?

Things this castrofuck clown car of a government cannot pay for: junior doctors, nurses, school lunches for hungry children, council homes, roofs for schools, 40 new hospitals, keeping shite out of the rivers . . .

Things it can pay for: 2 largely broken aircraft carriers (but not enough planes for them) . . and new, home built nuclear weapons.

I, for one, am so proud our glorious MoD can defend our food banks with British made nuclear weapons! /s

I'm on my 3rd EV . . and none of them have been a Tesla. I am FAR from a Tesla/Musk fanboy . . .but they do release the exact data you are asking about. Here you go . . 12% degradation after 200,000 miles.

Roughly speaking, EV's lose range at a similar rate that ICE engines lose horsepower.

But a 10 year old Tesla is worth much more than a 10 year old BMW . . .

You replace the battery of an EV just about as often as you replace the engine block in an ICE car. Both do happen . . . but very, very infrequently.

I did! Hello from Scotland . . .

Hello my fellow Scot!

If you need color, then I highly recommend the Epson EcoTank line of printers. No printer cartridges AT ALL - just raw 4 color ink. They cost more than most inkjet printers up front . . but more than save in the long run. And NO DRM in site . . rather difficult to put DRM into liquid ink . . .

12 years for my primary account, 11 years for my "other" one. Like many at the time, came over during the Digg meltdown. Just before the API went to paid, used a tool to delete my 15,000+ posts/comments. Deleted both accounts in early July. Used Teddit a bit to still follow one or two subreddits, but now that has stopped working. Unless it pops up in a search, I doubt I will ever visit again. RIP.
