NICE reckons value of medical interventions as "quality-adjusted life year" and allows £20,000 to £30,000 so any health issues prevented need also be included in the calculation
Government use “value of a prevented fatality" for reckoning an indivdual's 'worth'. At about £2 million (though some think that an undervalue) T&T would only have to save 18,500 lives by my reckoning

In Europe the EU is making it the case that you can use any charge point without needing a specific app.
The benefits of wide-spread coordination. UK is doing similar with Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 so that public charge points 1) offer contactless 2) offer at least one roaming provide 3) 99% reliability

"While contracting COVID-19 increased the risk of preterm birth between 2020 and 2022, researchers found that the risk largely disappeared by the end of 2022.
This was due in part to the widespread uptake of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, which helped to boost the population’s immunity."

Re: Ministry of Truth
Off licence prescribing is permitted by healthcare professionals but they take more of the risk on themselves if they do so.
Off licence usage by non-healthcare professionals for self-treatment is dangerous. For a start, all the directions and warnings on the licensed product are for its use in the licensed indication and the particular usage directions; the safety profile outside those conditions is unlikely to be known.
Re: Ministry of Truth
It is suitable for human use for treating parasitic infections. It is not licenced for treating Covid.
It is trivial to locate a CDC advisory from late 2021 which says "Ivermectin is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prescription medication used to treat certain infections caused by internal and external parasites. ...During the COVID-19 pandemic, ivermectin dispensing by retail pharmacies has increased, as has use of veterinary formulations available over the counter but not intended for human use...
Adverse effects associated with ivermectin misuse and overdose are increasing, as shown by a rise in calls to poison control centers reporting overdoses and more people experiencing adverse effects...."
So the US authorities were acknowledging its uses while warning against use of products intended for animal treatment.

My impression also. The government's position on space launches revolves around the regulatory framework for people to try to launch spacecraft

Re: Exactly what destroyed the UK car industry
FWIW
After the war, UK was the second biggest car manufacturing nation and the majority of output was destined for export to earn foreign currency. Cars were also subject to around 45% purchase tax. until 1960s (from 1947 expensive cars had 66% purchase tax)
I also just found that British production capacity in 1962 was one million cars more than was actually built

You skipped part of the original news story in your eagerness to selectively quote.
"The first two months of 2000 were virtually free of significant snowfall in much of lowland Britain, and December brought only moderate snowfall in the South-east. It is the continuation of a trend that has been increasingly visible in the past 15 years: in the south of England, for instance, from 1970 to 1995 snow and sleet fell for an average of 3.7 days, while from 1988 to 1995 the average was 0.7 days. London's last substantial snowfall was in February 1991"

"Fen skating, once a popular sport on the fields of East Anglia, now takes place on indoor artificial rinks. Malcolm Robinson, of the Fenland Indoor Speed Skating Club in Peterborough, says they have not skated outside since 1997. "As a boy, I can remember being on ice most winters. Now it's few and far between," he said."

Re: Tom Baker
Where to start - impossible to say because everyone is different and the show changed over the years. Even with a comprehensive psychological profile and a breakdown of the contents of your bookshelf and your DVD collection, it could be difficult to predict what you would enjoy.
You could do worse than pick a few to dip into from one of the ranking lists of Doctor Who episodes. At the very least, the ones near the top will be 'better' than the ones near the middle and you should avoid the ones at the bottom of the list until you've found if you even like the higher ranked ones.

Re: Hydrogen in pipes
Town gas mostly ran gas lighting and a bit of cooking rather than heating? Including public lighting
In 1969 domestic town gas use peaked at around 88,000 GWh
By 1979 domestic methane use was about 240,000 GWH (town gas was about 600 GWh)
(from "Historical gas data: gas production and consumption and fuel input" gov.uk)
Gas usage expanded with availability of North Sea supply. We need to get a lot more gas moving now compared to then.
Re: Capacity
That's the Nirvana Fallacy in action - you seem to be saying heat pumps aren't perfect so we have to have to replace gas with H2.
Also Strawman because no on asks you to knock down the chimney because you aren't using it
The conservation rules are created by law and can be modified by law. to permit heatpumps etc

C'mon. This is too much West Atlanticism.

Japan confirms ¥192 billion will flow to help Micron build Hiroshima plant
Comparing chips to crisps?
"The $1.3 billion Japan will send Micron's way is tiny compared to the $52.7 billion the US government's CHIPS Act will dole out, or the €43 billion($47 billion) fund created by the European Union's efforts"
But this is just for a single plant while EU and USA are spreading their money over many locations?

ICO on "should"
"Should does not refer to a legislative requirement, but what we expect you to do to comply effectively with the law. You should do this unless there is a good reason not to. If you choose to take a different approach, you must be able to demonstrate that this approach also complies with the law."
