BBC can be a better source of news than any of the US media at times. They are, of course, biased. But we know that going in.That is why I read and listen to the BBC

Yeah. They usually devote more time or ink to a story also. That's the reason I like NPR. Many days I end up swearing at NPR because I disagree with their reporting especially the word choice or more likely flipping back and forth between NPR and WIBC during commercials, but at least the BBC gives 15-30 minutes to a story instead of a 30 second bkurb.BBC can be a better source of news than any of the US media at times.

BBC Hardtalk is worth checking out.Some of their podcasts are pretty good too.
I used to listen to Hardtalk. Got tired of it after a while. Staged attempts at "gotchas" but I guess that is more of a UK style of journalism. "Surely you must admit that if you don't (decry something) you support eating babies."BBC Hardtalk is worth checking out.
I doubled my 401k since last years crash getting ideas from BBC World Service Science and Technology shows...so it pays to listen
Yeah but at least some of the questions are tougher. Most tougher than US interviewing which usually is 2 feeble questions followed by 2 "questions " about "your new" insert movie/book/podcast.I used to listen to Hardtalk.

I would assume that electric cars with electric heaters are far, far more efficient than idling a V* and capturing wasted heat.Millions of people in Texas are without power because of a winter storm and the power grid got overloaded. Many of them are keeping warm in their vehicles.
Wait until they all are forced to get electric cars to seriously overload the grid even without a storm and then try to power that grid with windmills, which are all frozen up now by the way.
But when the power is out you can't plug it in and you freeze to death. But you were efficient right up to that last breath.I would assume that electric cars with electric heaters are far, far more efficient than idling a V* and capturing wasted heat.
Side note: a nutcase was on NPR's ME today saying that cities should ban natural gas connections in new construction.
Greta Whatshername was probably first to sign up.The sad part is, that guy wanting to ban new Natural Gas, probably has a following
I heard that. Haven't gone to look yet.Looks like Parlor is back
Well, I guess enough people were upset, something had to be done.
No. Joe Xiden himself said disrespect for others would not be tolerated and if it happened people would be fired. So, it happened and ... drumroll, please ... people were suspended for a weekOr, this administration is willing to do the right thing from the get go
I was going to mention that, but Jetta already thinks I pick on him, so I passed. Even the waste heat from an idling V* might be on a par with resistance heating for efficiency, and that 85Kwh Tesla only holds the equivalent of about 2.25 gallons of gas. Wonder how long you could run just the heater for compared to a real vehicle started every 15 minutes or so to generate heatElectric heaters aren't very efficient either
