Electricity transmission charges UK

Electricity transmission charges UK

Electricity transmission costs across the UK, note they are negative in the south of England, most expensive the north of Scotland.

Yet zonal electricity, which might redress some of this, has been rejected.

This is holding Scottish industry back, and consumers will ultimately be paying for this.

shows a snippet from a .vimrc file with the following instructions:
" Center the view after jumping to the previous/next paragraph
nnoremap { {zz
nnoremap } }zz

" Center the view after jumping to the next/previous search result
nnoremap n nzz
nnoremap N Nzz

this remaps the {,},n and N actions in normal mode to just also execute zz

Just learned that in Vi you can use 'zz' to scroll the editor view so that the cursor is centered.
So i immediately remapped {,},n,N to always center the cursor after a 'jump'. Feels great!

I'd be happy to hear about your favorite vimrc configs!

The failure of the UK Government to adopt zonal pricing plays politics with power β€” Common Weal Ed Miliband is reported to have ruled out switching the UK’s energy transmission and distribution network (β€œthe Grid”) to a system of β€œzonal pricing”, according to the Guardian . If this is your first time hearing about this, the current grid system is largely based on reliance on coal and gas. It

'The current energy pricing system doesn’t work, and zonal pricing is the only option on the table that would fix it.
There is no other plan - as can be seen by them scrabbling around now to try to cobble one together.'

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Remember next time you complain about your life, it’s all about perspective.
I have a friend who reads 2-3 books a week, works out twice a day, has no financial worries, and has people who want to have sex with him all the time.

And yet, he still complains about how much he hates prison.

The real problem with AI art is it is all one specific genre. Theoretically it's a really broad concept: art that's created by an artificial intelligence rather than an organic one. In practice, it's oversaturated pictures of people with freckles who look like they've been dipped in cum.
