No matter the heat source. Step one needs to be insulating our homes to reduce the requirement for heating and make some work anyway. Especially heat pumps.
Why doesn’t the UK gov have a clear strategy for this? Leaving it to the homeowner in a cost of living crisis and with increasing mortgage costs means the vast majority cant do it alone
Yeah so many people are guna be in the same boat. No chance of getting mine up to standard now without some heavy grants. Its a 1950’s ex council house an designed to be heated by a central fire
My boilers on its last legs so had a bit research on HP etc. Would love to fully electricify and get rid of the gas. Basically i need to spend thousands upgrading my insulation etc 1st before i could even think of spending the fortune needed on the HP itself. I don’t see how its doable without solar panels and a battery tbh.
In the end its worked out cheaper to install a wood stove in the front room as a stop gap as I get the money together to upgrade everything needed. Which tbh might never happen now all my cash has been drained away to nothing on energy bills and cost of living. Plus mortgage interest rates.
So my glorious vision of a more economical and eco friendly home has seen me turn medieval instead due to crippling finances
We’ve some similar nefarious influences that would love our media to descend to the full depths of some of the American ‘entertainment’ news media. But were not quite there yet and its still a fringe atm.
So sitting politicians doing backdoor propaganda still isn’t allowed by the watchdog.
Yep usual tired old script
“Your evidence is no match for my ideology! Stop it!” Or something something look tough on lazy/scroungers/insert stereotype blah
Yeah were in the best position of all the big social media companies really and have spectacularly underperformed compared to the rest. Then display company policy management by hand grenade. Poor attempt
Wow thats a long time. Were u sniffing round the fediverse anyway then or just prompted by the latest mess?
Haha yes hope it doesn’t trigger the voices
Thought for a while i need some kind of window shutters. Seems obvious to stop the sun getting to the windows keeps house cooler
They could always harvest the government’s spittle so could use brown instead
Yep ha even the normal ones

Yeah increased reddit use probably always was a good indicator of current mental health decline for many of us.
‘Feduppit’? Anyone? No, ok then. I’ll see myself out
Do you genuinely feel its time/effort in the bin?
I know it will actually feel like a bereavement to some (not saying you specifically) but if it was all good at the time then was it not still worth it?
I’m sure reddit will continue for now, but with a lot less of use
Cheers.
Probably took for reddit to commits its hari-kari for some us to actually move on and want to engage a bit more.
I’ve nothing worth while to delete! Maybe thats speaks of how many of us were essentially lurkers and bit part actors. Not a very engaging place in the main, except our own little corners I’m sure.
Saying that I’m not on here to start arguing with communists either. Got no axe to grind. Sure I’ll find a little spot somewhere
Not all bad then! But yeah its a just company running a website now (with lots of essential free dedicated labour). What ever is was before it isn’t now
There’s one little sign when you come out the tyne tunnel i think. Very easy to miss. Catches locals out as well who are casual users
