We were part of the EU EVOL project building a molten salt fast reactor. I wonder if Sunak wants us to get back in there or go it alone with RR modular project

Your plan seems OK but you should procure a couple of replacement spokes before attempting to straighten them.

Were they straight before?

bent spokes protect against excessive tension and are usually found on fragile rims like carbon rims.

Another weakness of current reactors is their lifetime. 60 years for Sizewell C is a long time. Technology would have leapfrogged it long before even half way through. Just look at how ambitious India and China are. They have the money and human resources.

I was reading some articles about the business models of nuclear industries. Apparently, they make money on supplying fuel pellets. The latter are loaded into rods. So there is some conflict of interest. If the reactor is very efficient at burning fuel, it will use fewer pellets, not so...

I would suggest that the state nationalises the nuclear generators and sell cheap electricity to all those who are on prepaid meter at the moment. Two birds with one stone.

I watched Johnson delivering his speech at the soft power conference earlier this week. He was rambling, regurgitating the old covid jokes etc. He droned on for quite some time, usual stuttering but he wasn't funny anymore. He seemed to have lost his self confidence.

Jean-Claude Juncker: "Yes, we should have with Britain, a normal relationship and that includes this a kind of freedom of movement for workers." I wonder which PM would dare to go for this sensible solution to solve our shortage of farm, home care and health workers.

it's a bespoke system. The magnet ring goes onto the freehub body in place of the cassette lock ring. There is no wire, so it's either bluetooth or more likely (there is no battery inside the magnet ring), the pedal sensor is inside the motor's cover. You need their motor. The controller and LCD...

Nice pedal sensor. You should change the sentence 'from 100g' to 'with the 100G'. The latter is the name or model of the pedal sensor. From 100g could be misunderstood as from 100 grams.

A neat summing up for all of us.

thank you for the link.

75%+ of our imports in fruit and vegetables are from the EU and we have not changed anything regarding foods bought from African countries. We have not yet changed arrangement or tariffs since leaving.

we buy our fruit and vegetables from EU producers, not so much from rest of the world. TM's deal let us remain in the SM and collect import duty. We don't pay anything to the EU until a permanent deal is done.

Should we look at this in another way? Tariffs are good for public purse and local industries. Look at producers with incredibly cheap energy (Russian aluminium, fertilisers) or vastly state-subsidised (Chinese steel, cars, plastic and PV panels). High tariffs are like split VAT rates, they help...

760 million cars: are you sure it's not a typo? Container ships are assumed to be more efficient than any other form of transport. If you say one of those uses the same amount of fuel as 1,000 cars, that's believable but 760 million/15=5 million cars for each one super container ship? Super...

unfortunately, that's not what is proposed. Brexit is more like what Johnson and Truss say it is: send the money that the EU received from us to our NHS, no bonus cap for city's bankers, no 45% rate for high earners, no 30% corporation tax for companies, remove any rules that stop cheaper food...

why shouldn't we have the right to decide for ourselves? I know of one case where a care home charges residents' families £7,000 a week for a single bed and 3 meals a day. Some of the residents have early dementia. It's time that we should be allowed to go in the manner we choose.
