That is unfortunate yes - we did the solar+batteries first and then added heat pump afterwards too, and I think it makes much more sense when you do all of them so they can work together.

I doubt they will withdraw the grant entirely in one go, and I suspect there will be something to replace it even if it's less generous. Installation costs are also coming down too - for me the same install would have cost about 5k less to do today than 4 years ago, before grants are taken into account. There are way more installers now and they are somewhat more commoditised rather than bespoke. Hopefully that trend will continue.

    So many unhelpful responses here... This is obviously a problem in some professional environments. Same problem with Gimp...

    Sorry OP, you're probably stuck with Cloudflare.

    If you have the money just go for it. They won't remove the subsidy for a while so still time to get it done. I did it 4 years ago when the grant was less than it is now and I have no regrets. Saved me a lot of money on energy bills.

    My domain registrar hosts my email too, so I set up a mailbox for self-hosted services to send emails from. Is this an option for you? For me I figured it would be a lot easier than setting up a mailserver myself and doing the research you're now doing.

    the council should remove one or two on-street parking bays and replace them with dockless bike bays. i've seen this already in many places so not a novel concept, but they should simply do more of it.

    The ownership and telemetry shenanigans were unfortunate but this does look good. It's also good that this remains an opensource project with potentially viable funding attached.

    I must admit I still run Audacity 2.x or whatever and have no problems with it. But there are a lot of QoL improvements here that I'm excited about.

    I actually don't think we have too many midfielders. We need 6 high quality starters for 3 slots. We saw what happened last season with the number of games and injuries. Zubimendi dropped off a cliff toward the end of the season because he was playing 90 minutes 3 times a week for 4 months straight. I know there are 8 players listed there, but the last 3 (and indeed MLS) all play other positions too so will get plenty of game time.

    We'd have to get a massive offer for MLS that allowed us to buy an absolute star on the left wing for me to be ok with selling him.

    Pedestrianising Oxford Street would obviously be much better? I'm not sure why the council would oppose it, other than they are Conservatives so habitually wrong.

    Getting rid of most traffic has already made the street orders of magnitude more pleasant. Getting rid of buses and taxis is the obvious next step.
