Prices of the electricity we use to charge

Bon voyage flecc, or should I say, welcome to Ireland? Céad míle fáilte ;-)

Thanks for the welcomes, but don't tell me, as I posted I am well suited where I am. Tell @soundwave , he's the one unhappy where he is.

No-one (not even the Senator) is disputing the Invaluable Greenhouse Effect of the Atmosphere.

the benefit system doesn't work. There is virtually no way out once you are trapped inside it.
Even if you find work, you can't get out.
The system incentivises you to become disabled and stay disabled in order to receive enough help just to hold on to some living standard.

So to get the Green party to prop up the DE gov, they turned off their nookleear reactors for pure political expediency!? Nice

Agreed thats's the way it is and has long been, but if the will is there one can get out. You might remember from some while ago I described how, 33 years ago I put myself in it for two years, just to prove the point.

Years ago, when I arrived here, there was a sort of social stigma associated with claiming the dole or any sort of handout for that matter. It's long gone now and for good reasons. Now, if you hit a serious illness, the system will quickly sink you.

For serious illness, agreed.

I've got the most serious terminal illness of all, extreme old age.

The price of gold has risen 33% this year and is still rising steadily. Since I mentioned it several months ago, it continued to rise. Such a continuous rise is probably a sign of a loss of confidence in currency. Keep an eye on it as a sign of financial meltdown.
Time for a great reset of the financial system

They are useless for you anyway. How much do you have to earn to afford a better living standard and similar free time for your hobbies?

It seems you and some of your family are permanently at war with local and national authority, meaning all your difficulties are self imposed and it's really you who is the problem.

If your local authority or the area don't suit you, move. Many years ago I did a number of times in quick succession until I was ideally suited.

If this country or government don't suit you, again move. That's what my sister did when she got fed up with England, so is happier in another country now as a result.

Glittering jewels, pageantry and parades are all planned for the coronation of a new king. It's time to kick the royals out

Aliens don't exist around our planet, not intelligent beings that can fly UFOs, anyway.

If you see something flying the speed of an aeroplane or drone, it's an aeroplane or drone. If it's flying at the speed of the wind, it's a balloon. Anything else is CGI/AI.

Another thing too: Aliens probably wouldn't have researched the CAA regulations for collision avoidance lights to put on their drones, and the Iranians or other bad guys wouldn't be lighting up their spy or Trump assassination drones like Christmas trees either, would they?

It's been reported that the emergency services have been ordered to use full haz-mat equipment to deal with any crashed drones. That might give you a clue to what's going on. They were first shown flying over military establishments to spread speculation about spies, aliens, etc., then they started flying over residential areas. If I was in charge of the project, I'd have done the same.

Or a hallucination, or technical malfunction of imaging equipment.

The nearest star system to ours is the Alpha Centauri triple star system. It is 4.2 light years away from our solar system, which is 26.46 trillion miles away, or 26,460,000,000,000 miles.

If we sent our very fastest rocket to that system - our nearest stellar neighbour, it would take about seventy thousand years to get there.

One of the stars in the group, Proxima Centauri, a small red dwarf star, does have a planet in the zone where liquid water could exist and therefore it might be possible for life to evolve there, but it is not very likely, because the star flares up regularly and life would need to cope with being regularly dosed with extra heat and radiation. It is even less likely that whatever evolved would evolve into a technically capable society. Remember - life has been on our planet for about three billion years and humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago, eventually developing a technically capable civilisation in the last two hundred years.

The next nearest stars are twice as far away as the Alpha Centauri system and it would take twice as long to get here from there. Why would any intelligent life form bother to send its people here and how would they do it. The journey from Sirius, the next nearest star, would take almost as long as the time since the very first humans evolved. Imagine - the entire history of our species being cooped up on a space ship!

Another reason Proxima B might not work well for life is that because its star is small and the planet is quite close to it, is likely that the planet is tidally locked to the star and like our moon, always faces the same side to its parent body. This means one half is always facing the star and warm, and the other is always bone cold and dark. Over time, all of the planet's free water would collect as ice on the dark side, leaving the star facing side bone dry. This is not a great prospect for the evolution of life.
