Fun facts about Hellraiser.

The original Hellraiser book: Main character survives her encounter with Cenobites. Muses on how if there is a magic box that takes people to Hell, there must also be a magic box that lets people go into Heaven. But she will probably never find it.

The Hellraiser films: The Lament Configuration was commissioned by a French aristocrat who wanted to gently caress a Demon.

The original author, Clive Barker: The Hellraiser films are dumb because they called the head Cenobite Pinhead. I'm going to write a book where he kills everyone and goes by the totally unique and badass name of....The Hell Priest.

Solar and battery provides about 97% of our home power and it's news to me that they're noisy? Inverter fan is audible when it's at max power but hardly noisy.

What's the cost/benefit ratio of them with the impending price hikes?

As in, does it make sense to fork out the £10k or whatever it is to get them installed if energy costs are gonna be in the £5k range for a year?

I know part of that is gas rather than electricity but if 97% of your electricity is covered that's gonna quickly pay for itself no?

This is Hellraiser fan film where there is no more souls to harvest after a world war.
So what do the cenobites do then.

Also there was a guy who expanded on Merchand creating multiple puzzle boxes, and detailed him giving them out to 18th/19th century people who he liked or hated.
You can find his website here: http://www.pyramid-gallery.com
And buy his boxes, I got the Lament Configuration from him and its top quality. His other box design are hit or miss imo.

I've seen various car parks with solar panels as shading, probably making more money than the shops themselves for a few months

Everytime I see this graph it makes me so mad. Payback time on loft and cavity wall insulation is a year or two at currently forecast prices! Just absolutely garbage penny pinching costing a pound, nevermind the climate related benefits.

Same deal with heat pump installations where the UK badly lags the rest of Europe.

Problem is that she seems to be compensating energy companies by having the public pay them back the excess money over the next ten years. Unless she's going full MMT 'lol, money isn't real', that's going to still be crippling in the long-term.

The headline from the Süddeutsche is "Like a five year old who just ran into a closed door".
"By January the United Kingdom won't be functioning"

Granted, that's in the opinion section, but it's on the front page.

They are not being particularly kind to Liz Truss for some reason.

Even in the normal :decorum: section:

quote:

As Foreign Minister, Truss was most recently also responsible for negotiations with the EU. If you ask Brussels officials what it was like with her, the answer is usually a roll of the eyes. Truss is friendlier and more binding than her predecessor, the former Brexit minister David Frost, but the initial good feeling at the negotiating table quickly vanished when Truss was back home in London. She then only told the Brexit-enthusiastic newspapers how terribly inflexible the "Brussels bureaucrats" were.

The glimpse of the plan in de Pfeffel Johnson's speech was that they are going to make not letting Scotland have a fair referendum on leaving the UK a flag waving scarf wearing issue of utmost patriotism and drive as many pink men frothing at the mouth about it as possible, which if they lose the next general election and cant do anything about it will be funny at least.

Do you all reckon that Lab and the SNP would form a coalition under the terms of allowing a referendum? Or that the lib dems would do their usual poison the well tactics by saying they're in second place and refuse to grasp at the reins in favour of being as poo poo as possible.


More likely I guess that Keith tries to compete for the angry red men crowd and loses.

No, because Labour won't go into coalition with the SNP & don't want another referendum.

I can't be bothered finding the relevant tweets right now, but Labour have been refusing to countenance the possibility of ever making deals with the perfidious Scots, so there is zero chance of them going into coalition or offering a referendum.

I shall look forward to the IRA partnering with their Scottish counterparts in 2023 to accelerate the Star Trek timeline for 2024.

A short term freeze paid for by a windfall tax is better than a longer term freeze paid for by the public for the next two decades.

Public ownership and a command economy for utilities is better than either, but when your ideology is never expressing anything for fear that it might get called an ideology you can't put that into words.

No because the SNP have absolutely no interest of being part of the UK government.
