Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

They are balsa wood foam and fibreglass. 80% made from fossil fuel . Useless as foundations for anything. Better to burn them - get some energy back at least

I have never been sarcastic even once in my life.

They always should.

He may not know the meaning of the word. "the use of irony to mock or convey contempt."

Irony is an equally difficult concept, "a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character". Since John Larkin is a gullible twit, he produces a lot of unintended irony.

According to him, Donald Trump has common sense.

That's definitely sarcasm. though he may not realise it.

It seems you can recycle them. The longer blades will exploit carbon fibre, which will probably be derived from fossil carbon, which has been diverted from being used as fuel.

Burning glass fibre doesn't work. You could burn carbon fibre, but it would be a terrible waste if you could recycle it, and it seems that you can

The Natural Philosopher seems to end up in that ditch quite often. He's natural in the Shakespearean sense - he's never learnt anything useful.

Considering how hard it is to cycle uphill, I was surprised when I went to a small dry ski slope and the tow rope to get you up there was running off a 12V car battery! I didn't see them swap over the battery for the few hours I was there.

So you have a diverter to waste a bit of energy while it calms down.

Why? Always been once a year here.

Ours was inside the house, they had to catch you in.

No you're not. It's capped at 39p.

Bollocks. 20 years ago it was more like 13p. In the 80s, my parents paid 10p/3p at night.

Where did you find an economy 7? I used to get 20% off at night, but they even took that away.

Very easy to stick the washer/dryer/dishwasher on a timer.

Why not do what I do and pay what you actually use each month, instead of the always wrong amount they make up, causing you or them to owe the other hundreds of pounds?

Contrary to the bullshit they tell you, it's not helpful to you. Better to pay more in winter and less in summer, then you can afford holidays!

Cars have always been cheaper and more convenient. Fuck the railways.

If they make a massive profit, just buy shares in them.

It's what animals do, why do you consider humans weaker than other animals?

All those guys are sissies. Building shelters and all that shit.

Humans are (mostly) social animals. Commander Kinsey does seem to have the kind of brain defect that blinds him to this.

Cooperation allows some groups of human to outperform other animals (and mobs of anti-social creeps like Commander Kinsey) but he's unconscious of this.

Keeping the cooperation working takes work on the relationships involved and most of us are genetically engineered to enjoy that, and experience a sense of loss when we don't get it. Commander Kinsey doesn't get that at all, and presumably doesn't reciprocate when other people try to involve him in that sort of interaction, reacting like the self-centred prick he looks like here.

Skinny sexy folk look even better with beer too.

Just sit on the ice.

You mean you open the windows by hand!?
