It is, but they will only be doing this bc the London market will give payback on the 15-20% (appx) uplift in construction cost. I doubt it can be viable elsewhere, but I agree we have to find a way to get there

An old Russian joke: a man walks up to a newsstand, looks at the front page, sneers and walks off. The next day he walks up to the newsstand, looks at the front page, sneers and walks off. The third day he walks up and the newsman asks โ€œHey, why donโ€™t you ever buy a paper?โ€ And the man replies โ€œIโ€™m just reading the obituaries.โ€ The newsman shakes his head โ€œBut the obituaries are in the back!โ€ The man looks at him shaking his head. โ€œNot the one Iโ€™m looking for.โ€

A priest a teacher and a rabbit enter a clinic to donate blood.

The nurse asked the rabbit what is your blood type.

The rabbit replied "I'm probably a Type-O"

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the spiral galaxy ESO 499-G37, seen here against a backdrop of distant galaxies, scattered with nearby stars.

The galaxy is viewed from an angle, allowing Hubble to reveal its spiral nature clearly. The faint, loose spiral arms can be distinguished as bluish features swirling around the galaxyโ€™s nucleus. This blue tinge emanates from the hot, young stars located in the spiral arms.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kidsโ€™ section. Itโ€™s all such a gift.
