  1. They could have solved this with education - if everybody thought about the environment, their fuel bills, comfort etc - all those things would happen naturally. In essence you either have the ideological state apparatus or the repressive state apparatus you can avoid either with the other.
  2. My analysis is a bit different - planning is a part of it but the bigger part is developers interests and councils not being allowed to build council housing. The former is a problem because they want to keep prices high and maximise profit so they have no interest in mass production as it rises the supply side and so reduces prices. The councils not building for social rent, I get that housing associations are supposed to do this but funding constraints meam means that they are actually just developers, is a problem because it forces private rental and that removes housing stock from purchasers and so pushes up prices - which just closes the loop again. So sorting planning needs much more out of the box thinking alongside it.
  3. I smoothed our daughters tray underside, which was awful, with isopon and a piece of plate glass, dead flat, to ensure we had a perfectly flat surface to mate with the trap, seems to have worked - all done dry- no ct1 and no leaks 4 years on.
  4. I will get him to drill such a hole and find out. We know the wall was wet but did the remedials in November last year.
  5. Yes defo was but has had breather hole cover to be fitted. Here is a bigger image the floor in here is well above outer ground level and the wall is the party with next door.
  6. Our son had a chunk of the chimney breast replastered and it seems to be effervescent. It feels dry but I don't have my damp meter with me. Any thoughts - can it be cured or does he need to get it redone? I understand the wall beneath has been damp proof injected.
  7. Do we have an Gargoyles on here? ( @Pocster please take a breath before answering that if you are watching!?)
  8. Why would you want water leaking into your, or anybody else's, house?
  9. Creativity, for people who are no longer children, is all about rediscovering your inner child and dumping all your baggage so it does not constrain your thinking.
  10. Agree - and it is only trained on code people have shared so there are whole domains, including some languages, it knows very little about in real world terms although it generally has all the theory it is not able to deploy it, in its word, 'cleanly'!
  11. Seems a waste of a perfectly good nuke - all they will need to do is provide a few strong streams of water and play them on your build - pretty soon your life will be consumed with finding and fixing leaks leaving no time for chat! On another matter I see that Claude has released Mythos (well a slightly cut down version) to the general public - that might improve things for you although I strongly suspect you will quickly exhaust its patience - and yours along with its capabilities....
  12. Sadly, although by then its context memory might be very large, today's conversation histories will have melted into nothing or at the very least TLDR - "what ever"!
  13. Yes and the trouble with Toddlers is they grow up and become very stroppy teenagers. My beef this week has been to get copilot to ignore all the metadata that goes along with the prompt - somehow it thought that this was part of the prompt and kept telling me that my code would not work because you have loads of 'edge' metadata in it. Even though it has now agreed with me to ignore it it keeps telling me its an issue.
  14. For UKPN you can do it all yourself - we are on single phase, applied for an account, used the web form and off it went we got 7kW peak output set at the inverter with no haggling or anything from UKPN.
  15. That's different - usually those leads only have the power lines connected.
