Having a competent Prime Minister, rather than a narcissist like Johnson, would have saved tens of thousands of lives.

In the UK, the load factor for solar is 10%, and for nuclear is close to 100%. Meaning you need 10 times as much solar as nuclear to produce the same electricity.

It's the only Bible in existence that omits half the ammendments to the Constitution of the United States.

For 3 items I just made the spacing between the numbers the same, but reversed. There's much more freedom for getting same variance for 4 or more items. But ironically, harder to produce examples.

Yes. For instance, A = {0.2, 0.3, 0.5} and B = {0.1666.., 0.3666.., 0.4666..} have the same variance.

I don't like the tone of the article, either. But he's not supposed to be an expert on the technological aspects. And his view will necessarily be formed by those he trusts. I don't think he's making decisions against the advice he's receiving.

It depends who he listens to and trusts. This is from the CEO of the new Energy System Operator NESO on Monday, who must be influential in telling Starmer and Miliband what's realistic.

And here is a poem that takes a very serious look at the differences between English and German...

English weather is wet
German weather is Wetter

English kids are kind
German kids are Kinder

English mothers mumble
German mothers Mutter

An English please may take a bit
But a German please will be bitte

The English shout the word people
Germans just quietly Menschen it

And English sausages can be bad
But a German sausage is the Wurst
