We went air-to-air two years ago, to replace underfloor electric which was ruining us. No regrets, and summer aircon is surprising nice to have, even on a hill in Ireland.

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today”

Start looking for a cheap source of bird nuts. You're going to need a lot!

You provide another example of your confusion here. "mw/h" means milliwatt per hour: meaningless. mWh at least makes sense; a battery which can discharge at a thousandth of a watt for an hour, but what you probably meant was MWh, a battery that can discharge at 1 million watts for an hour.

Wh/kg is fine, but you used W/h, which isn't . Every character in these units MEANS something. The units we're discussing and which you clearly don't understand will be familiar to anyone with a GCSE in a science so you're visibly destroying you credibility with a large fraction of your audience.

To be concrete BESS has a power output of 1MW and can discharge at that rate for 3 hours, then its capacity is 3MWh. In this context the unit "W/h" makes no sense. What is the importance of the weight of the battery? It doesn't move, so why does the weight matter?

You're confusing kW and kWh. kW is a unit of power - how fast energy is produced. kWh is a measure of how much energy is stored. You can't deduce that a battery that can produce energy at a rate of 99MW contains 355 tonnes of cells by dividing the kWh/kg ratio of a cell by the power of the battery.

Junk information for an ignorant writer who doesn't understand the difference between a kilowatt and a kilowatt-hour, or that all fires involving plastics generate hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide.

It's not just the highest ground. There's a light covering in our garden at 200m near Tinahely. Fearing for the apple-blossom.

Another one, which I only realised when I escaped to Ireland, is that in sensible countries, when national regulations are based on EU directives, they tell you. eg. I'd never realised that the changes to driving license categories that just silently happened in the UK were down to EU harmonisation.

Very excited that our paper describing a critical role for the PNUTS-PP1 phosphatase complex in transcription pause release is up online! This was a massive team effort with @edimitrova.bsky.social and the rest of the @robklose.bsky.social lab www.cell.com/molecular-ce... A short thread: (1/8)
