Sorry, do the Met think 1 in 33,000 is a good failure rate?
That's abysmal even before you get onto the false positive rate or before you look at outcomes and realise you may incorrectly deprive someone of their liberty
@ben we're one automated flag away from automating racial profiling and others factors to be used against people, it's frightening how much, with all the available warnings, we're still heading straight to a wall.. almost willingly.
@psfshr@danieldurrans We once lived in a house that was in a (no longer new build) estate that had done a deal with Virgin (actually it was prob Telewest)
All the houses had covenants against installing a rooftop aerial because Virgin would provide a communal link.
That link had long since broken and Virgin had no interest in fixing it. Some installed aerials, but some were jobs-worths convinced it'd affect property prices and tried to cause trouble.
My tip would be: try to not look back at smoking with nostalgia, but with hatred. You were enslaved by a murderous industry, now you're free. That mindset worked very well for me
I originally tooted about this about a month ago. Through a dose of bad luck (combined with shipping times), it's taken a month to get the #laptop up and running again.
New #Blog post: Spending an Afternoon in the Sizewell Control Room Simulator
I'm a bit late in writing something, but @popey, @8none1, @sil got to spend an afternoon in the operations training centre at #Sizewell B #nuclear power station
@edavies@ben I usually charge on a single phase type-2, rated at 32A. If the EVSE tells the car to draw 32A, that's what my car seems to draw, regardless of the voltage. So on low-voltage days, the EVSE screen shows 32A but a lower KW power than on high-voltage days. Although not a resistive load, I guess the charger can tune itself load pretty well to stick closely to the current limit, regardless of the voltage. I rarely use a granny charger, but I can't imagine it would behave differently.
