if this was a person rather than a business,

Not disagreeing with your point.

But when you take the idea into consideration.

This is a business creating a valueless business, then applying artificial value to increase assets So fraud.

Now your version. A person creates a person. Well not uncommon. But well, everything from there really sounds dodgy.

It really is not possible to remove the business and be talking about the same thing. And its hard to argue it would not be worse.

But yeah, I’m sorta having fun with the words. If a poor/working class human tried to increase assets via fraud. They would be spending time at his majesty pleasure.

and dump Thames Water sewage onto them.

While ensuring it doesn’t go into local rivers. Just to make the point.

PS, money laundering doesn’t describe this. That requires a money source that must be hidden. (IE, to clean it)

This is simple fraud, as the money never existed. It just allows them to convince shareholders they have assets worth investing in. Instead of cleaning dirty money. They are stealing clean money by lying to investors. Then crapping in the pool.

They have the perfect CV for this.

defrauding the system and their customers?

Yes to 1. 2 is the same thing.

Customers have choices. The current water system only gives those choices to the government. We are water company serfs paying taxes to the gov equivalent of lords.

They are allocated land and rights to charge for exclusive distribute on that land. In exchange for service to the rulers.

Yeah, we ain’t the customers the system is. We just pay taxes to the local lords.

Yep.

At the very least, it should make shareholders not trust the numbers. But according to another post, it is not uncommon.

But it’s hardly surprising we see crap like the Tory politicians over the last few parliaments. When the corps, they rely on for funding, see this as normal.

This is important.

As much as UK, farms have been a tax investment for some (Clarkson and others). The points he makes about how hard it is to profit from farming. Also lead to the land being used this way.

Now the government have removed some of the advantage. If the UK wants to keep any food independence and also reduce travel CO2 harm from our food.

Then we need to at least replace the funding UK farmers had from the EU.

(And ignore the vocal ones that argued for Brexit. As dumb as some farmer were, it’s not all. But this is about the future of the nation and world, not individuals)

What worries me about these reintroductions.

Is how little they discuss why the originals went extinct in the UK.

Most assume it was mankind. And that was def an important part.

But the more direct reason was the removal of dogger bank. IE the land link to Europe. This left many species isolated. And over time, the lack of genetic diversity lead some creatures to die out.

We still have mankind. More to the point, we are now much more likely to effect these animals’ ability to travel between communities and mix genetics.

Reintroducing these animals is pointless unless we also ensure the population is monitored and new ones reintroduced as needed.

By doing exactly what they promised.

Revamping planning rules to limit councils refusal. It was in the manifesto and publicized during the campaign.

Yeah thanks for the bad news.

I am using these https://www.printables.com/model/50375-desiccant-silica-hygrometer-spool-container-modula

So should be able to tell. Treating the cheap, crappy meters as binary. IE, if RH% above minimum readable the bag has failed.

Yeah UK ain’t a swamp. But 50 to 60% rh is common.

So I’m thinking I may have to think that way.

Honestly the article doesn’t do a good job of explaining the problem, or how it’s going to be fixed.

It’s not great.

But states that the UK had 3 certified labs until 2021. That closed due to cost.

I assume those labs used to sell services to the EU, but Brexit made that more complex. So they closed or moved to the EU. Now Brexit means we can’t use them.

But yeah the article leads you to assume rather than explaining, So it could be total bollocks.

As for how it will be fixed. Not sure if that is the media’s job unless the gov has announced a plan.

I am rapidly discovering. That spools do not seem to arrive dry.

Also, desiccant will not dry a spool. It keeps the air dry and will prevent a dry spool becoming wet. With ASA, I am learning you always need to dehydrate before first use. But am hoping using desiccant and vacuum bags will limit the time needed when reusing an open spool.

Just to confirm. Hygroscopic does not mean the material is unsuitable for wet conditions as a finished product.

Your comment suggested that was your assumption.

The issue is that FDM (and all plastic 3d printing) depends on the molecular bods reforming as plastic is melted and reshaped. Almost all physical materials absorb moisture from the air. But some more than others. Highly hygroscopic materials when melted below glass transition temps. The moisture within the molecular bonds dramatically affects the materials’ ability to rejoin and reform those strong bonds. This results in some very odd effects on the final product, making effective production impossible.

The general rule is heat (30 to 90c depending on material) and time is needed to remove the absorbed water before printing. As for how long. Well for every 5c below the perfect temp for your material, the time doubles. This time starts at 4 to 12 hours depending on the material. (data is online) So yeah the time can become days if not using the perfect temp.

I am currently struggling with this myself with ASA. As its my first time trying it. (im new to all this).

Law has a concept of the average idiot (cannot remember the real term). When applying confusion as a risk. Honestly milk has been used so much in English. (Coconutsand other things) I think that would fail.

I ANAL though.

Its more likely that oat milk is intentionally selling as a mamory milk alternative. That was made as an argument. But it is clearly a biased response from the court.

Yeah. And it is clear the court is not being unbiased. Given your comment.

It seems likely that parliment could be convinced to rule on this with enough negativity. No legal restrictions exist on the name. The dairy industry has no trademark or claim of unique use or confusion.

Parliment has the right to rule against this by act. if they agree. IE basically passing a law restricting courts from bias against long used language terminology.

Honestly it would require folks to write to MPs pointing out the stupidity ans bias. But enough may be annoyed by this that such a movement can be formed.

It is a signal warning of harm.

Your response is mental. Hence when opiates like tramadol shut of the signa. Receptors you still feel the se station of pain. But do not suffer the same way.

Whike its not what they do.

If you take a wing scrape all the flesh etc off.

And throw away the bone. The remainder would def be a boneless wing.

So there real lie is the idea its only wing meat not all the crappy meat mashed together.

Evolution wise. It makes sense for animals that cannot regrow limbs.

But for some animals it can actually limit their survival.

Unfortunatly human history. Has a habit of deciding based on our needs. Rather then actual evidence.

Its also worth remembering pain is a mental rather then real thing.

So while some creatures may have the signals to inform. Thjoer mind may not respond to it on the same way.

As a human(i assume ;). If you have ever needed to use opiates you may have some idea how that would work.

Yeah that is what happens in the world. When one side discovers how stupid their claim to a win was.

The other side gets to take the piss out of their stupidity.

Not sure you really have a point.

Yeah but we did not need to leave the EU.

To pay the french to make that.
