    I updated mine a couple of weeks ago. I was actually really anxious as It went through the process, but it worked fine, at first…
    Then I found out Microsoft considered it a new computer and deactivated windows. (And that’s when I found out they deleted upgrade licences from windows 7 & 8 back in September)

    And the underlying animal is still there too. It’s fully in control at birth, and gets drowned out as we mature (for some people, less than others).
    Small children are little more than animals, which is why they’re so unreasonable.
    It’s my belief that the reason the written word or things like clocks are usually unreadable in dreams, is because the animal is both illiterate and innumerate. Dreams are the animals understanding of our waking experience. It knows these patterns are important and how they relate to other things, but it has no fucking idea what any of it actually means.




  • Lately, quite a few people* in the UK have been enjoying negative domestic electricity prices with the recent high winds in the North Sea. They always find something to use it for, either extra laundry or using electric heaters rather than gas for space heating. I know big chunks of spinning iron are needed for grid frequency control, but if having to pay generators to curtail their output is the cost of having adequate redundancy, it should at least start with the fossil fuels.

    Right now gas is providing 2.3GW out of the nations 33.3GW demand (18GW domestic renewables) coal is completely off. A few days ago I saw it as low as 1GW which I’m pretty sure is as close as it can get to idle standby.

    *I don’t have a battery, and I have a family that always wants to use the most power in the evening peak, so I’m not one of them, but export at least covers import in the summer months
