Or the power of buying two of things!

You're preaching to the lactose-intolerant choir here, man.

Mandarin has been on the curriculum at my son's school for the past few years. Prescient planning imho.

Absolutely hate numberpads on laptops - if you're sitting with the laptop directly in front of you it means your arms and hands are slightly offset to the left for normal typing.

> The New Yorker prefers insure to ensure. They have a unique house style.

That's not a stylistic choice, it's just incorrect use of English.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insure

That M-W entry literally says they're different words with different meanings:

> They are in fact different words, but with sufficient overlap in meaning and form as to create uncertainty as to which should be used when.

> We define ensure as “to make sure, certain, or safe” and one sense of insure, “to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions,” is quite similar. But insure has the additional meaning “to provide or obtain insurance on or for,” which is not shared by ensure.

Definition 2: "to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions"

From the article:

> He sent the final memos to the other board members as disappearing messages, to insure that no one else would ever see them.

> Others were uncomfortable sharing concerns about Altman because they felt there was not a sufficient effort to insure anonymity.

> [...] to insure that the technology was deployed safely

All of these work just fine with that definition of "insure." Your comment that it's "incorrect use of English" is wrong.

The bit you quoted says there’s substantial overlap between the two. The New Yorker style is to prefer “insure” in cases where either could work.

I'm unconvinced but I'll ensure I do my homework before grammar-policing again :)

To be fair, I use “ensure” myself, but it’s just one of several quirky elements of the New Yorker’s style, along with the diaeresis on repeated vowels with different sounds (like in reëmerge or coöperate), several uncommon spellings, and unusual conjoinings like “teen-ager” and “per cent.” It’s part of the charm, I suppose

Britain has the 8th-most expensive electricity in the world[1], seems prudent that a Brit would try to be more self-sufficient in terms of generation?

Ok.

On your map, let's say the source is valid, UK has $0.4. I'm from CZ, we have $0.35.

UK has more than double median salary, DOUBLE. Which means that in some cities it will be actually more like 2x or 3x smaller. But price of electricity is more or less same in the whole country here.

Don't tell me something about expensive electricity and saving money. Because on top of that, let's check affordable housing stats

Yep, one of the worst in EU, yaay.

> Anyone else into what my high school biology teacher loved referring to as "pseudo-arachnomorphic diagrams" (Mind Maps[1] / Spider Diagrams)?

Yes! Nearly all my notes are mind-map-ish. I’m a visual thinker/planner with ADHD and mind-map style “spatial notes” are the only ones that make sense to me when writing and reviewing later. I’ve tried a few methods of moving this process to digital over the years but nothing sticks like pen & paper.

Can't view the pricing page without logging in (/app/pricing immediately redirects to a login box). Not going to get invested in a product until I know how much it'll cost in the long term.

Came here to say the same thing, what a wonderful post.
