A footpath sign, with angle brackets serving as arrows on each side of the words "foot path", so the end result looks like an XML or HTML tag.

Hoping there's another sign at the end labelled </FOOT PATH>

It's that Simpsons gag about the different animals they use on film isnt it? Real people don't sound like real people on camera- unfortunately many of our politicians talk like they're a bunch of cats taped together

A family home costing £850,000 is the ridiculous economic climate.
House price rises are neither some kind of natural law nor are they unalloyed good

Yes, this is absolutely true- and it meant that the us union movement jealousy guarded the private health insurance model as it was often a perk of being a unionised worker. Which led to some very odd bedfellows

true story: some Brit wealth managers, clients of whom are rich Brits, told me they keep getting calls saying 'help! i just read in [a newspaper that's not the FT] that we're about to default on our gilts and go to the IMF! what should I do?'
and they say 'er, read another newspaper?'

This is also why universal demand subsidies in rich countries are immoral.

Yeah, I've washed some dry clean only jackets and they've been fine, others not so much.

This image shows a person sitting on a bench seat inside a train or subway car, holding a large, fluffy dog on their lap. The dog has a thick, light gray to tan coat with a darker face, and its tongue is hanging out as it appears happily panting. The person is wearing a red jacket and blue jeans. The dog's leash is visible, and the person's hand is gently holding it. The window by their side lets in natural light, and blurred passengers can be seen seated further along the train.

An under considered aspect of the destructive nature of the online ecosystem is that there are real financial incentives for influencers to not only target vulnerable isolated people, but to keep them isolated. And it becomes self perpetuating.

Domestic scale storage is licence exempt. The blockers for battery only export tarrifs are largely commercial. The rise of aggregators is designed to help resolve this.

There are also regulatory blockers. Regulating storage as generation for eg makes sense from a network management point of view, but has put a break on some rollout.
Also market wide half hourly settlement still needs to embedd

There were some experiments using solid weights in disused mineshafts as the kinetic storage rather than water. It gets round a lot of the planning issues, and has the handy advantage that our electricity network was built round coalfields

Yes, that's the other problem with the whole flex/ storage roadmap. As we get more and more demand side measures including load shifting it reduces the spikes in pricing which makes this tech profitable.

The problem with pumped storage (which I agree is the solution) are twofold
1. It's very lossy- less of a problem with renewables when the marginal cost of production tends towards zero, but still a factor
2. People don't like building resiviours. Which is why we haven't done for decades
