Spruce | Full Time | Hybrid - Onsite (London/Bristol UK) We’re building tools to help ambitious heat pump installers run their business without all the pain, hassle, and manual process that they have to deal with at the…
Hello, I don't have PTSD but I do have extreme anxiety and have been in the state you sound like your in now. It sounds like you are being triggered by something and your body is in a constant state of fight or flight…
Have you tried it in earnest on a project? I was of the same opinion but once you try it (with VS Code and Tailwind plugin) it's hard not to fall in love with the ultra fast feedback loop and well defined colour palette.
The idea to moving everything to heat pumps right now isn't so that you immediately reduce carbon emissions, but that everything works off of electricity and the grid so that as offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and…
Also worth adding that in the UK new homes will not allowed to be built with boilers by 2025 and they will need to be slowly phased out in next decades so definitely invest in home insulation and a heat pump if your…
What is the sustainability cycle in your opinion if we don't mass switch to EV? According to most research the current plan is absolute net zero by 2050 and offset by reforestation, but that would not cover people not…
I agree will all of the above points but the last is not really true, there is a concerted and clear agenda across the board to transition everything to electric and then use mostly wind and solar to power the grid…
Governments will need to subsidise EVs and create better mass-transit for those that cannot make the switch, but this is really a personal decision based on their own pros and cons. In a fully renewable grid how is…
All cars need to be EV for net zero and < 2 degree global warming to be achieved not just a subset, there can't be any fossil fuel powered cars on the road by 2050. As hinted below though you could hit 2 birds with one…
I have dug into this rabbit hole recently and haven't seen any studies indicating Copper is going to be a problem, do you have a source? Cheers
Yes to clarify this is explicitly the percentage before being sent to "reprocessors", however here is a breakdown of Bristol council: https://www.bristol.gov.uk/residents/bins-and-recycling/what... It's a shame that…
Just to be aware if you're in the UK your recycling does get recycled so you should definitely take advantage of splitting your trash into recycling bins, in my council they recycle 60% (not buried or burned). The rest…
I find the linked article pretty convincing but admit it's not my area of expertise at all, do you have any resources refuting it?

I did offer yes, but they arn't taking untrained civilians who don't speak the language.
Of course the same principles apply, if there is injustice I'm not aware of we can also fight I am more than happy to fight with you just tell me where you want me to spend my effort. But I wouldn't mistake ignorance…
- In 2014 it was bad because the reason was to invade a country that did not want to be invaded - In 2022 it was good because it was to defend a country from invasion that did not want it In both cases the underlying…
I did protest those wars.
Your comment suggests the best outcome of any situation is the least violence. But it's not what I believe or I imagine what most people believe, I would rather fight for certain values to be upheld - in this case the…
In my mind Viktor Yanukovych came to power unfairly and was ousted by the people of Ukraine in a protest for democracy rather than against. Is that the wrong viewpoint, are there some other sources I should read?
I would do that. What's the alternative endgame? Ukraine is a country begging for help from the west and specifically a no-fly zone while Russia is shelling them not caring if it hits civilians. Surely at some point you…
Russia is shelling all major Ukraine cities right now trying to take over a country that does not want it. I am from the UK and if my government were doing this I would gladly welcome sanctions and be outside daily…
The animation has been removed, thanks both for you input. :)
No workflows as of it, I'm currently scouting out what the next "big" feature should be: - Workflows - Timesheets - GitHub et al integrations? Do you use workflows right now, with which piece of software if you don't…
