Not op but may I suggest looking at Home Assistant, Octopus Energy Addin and Predbat: https://springfall2008.github.io/batpred/energy-rates/

Thanks very much.

Unfortunately, all the actual tea bags are usually plastic. The wrapping is probably a small percentage of the plastic in this product.

I'm pretty sure my tea bags are paper, and have always been paper. It's the more recent "pyramid" shaped tea bags that I think are made of plastic. The most recent change to my tea bags was to remove the staple so they could go in organic waste.

You'd be surprised how paper-like the plastic bags appear to be.

Could try burning a tiny piece and check how it behaves and smells.

I doubt the advice would be to throw them in the organic waste if it was plastic.

Some plastics can go in the organic waste bins, such as the organic waste bin bags.

While they can go in the organic waste bins, they still get sorted out at the end because they don't degrade fast enough.

Study from Australia: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0956053X2... Article from California: https://www.siliconvalley.com/2024/11/21/when-compostables-a... German Trash Company: https://www.zakb.de/keine-fremdstoffe-im-bioabfall

Sure and it might be that the teabags are also being sorted out.

Why can't staples go in organic waste? They go into my compost pile and will rust. Iron is like 5% of average crustal rocks and is abundant in soils.

Teapigs pyramids are made of cornstarch

This is also an issue for microplastics ingestion. In the UK, teabags are increasingly made of PLA.

I solved this one with a metal tea infuser and bulk tea in a tin box

A smarter approach would be to run an experiment and look at what the data says. Just because you cannot think of any doesn’t make it so.

It may depend on what the script is for or the system being used. Segregation of duties is a risk mitigation principle of ISO 27001 to reduce fraud, waste, and error.

It may not be a hallucination. Perhaps the Copilot code was generated from the GitHub training set?

In Australia it has been illegal for ages. They have also had mobile (cell) phone cameras for years to penalise drivers. They claim that distracted drivers are as dangerous as drunk drivers. Why is LA only doing this now?

It's generally illegal in (most?) of the United States to "use your phone" while driving. I think this news is more of a clarification on what "using a phone" means.

Washington state has been doing this for a while also. Phones have to be mounted or you get penalized.

It is also possible to get the best of both worlds. The ODYSSEY features both a Celeron J4125 and RP2040 co-processor. I have an older model and find this combination very handy. I run Proxmox on it and it works very well.

The humorous phrase “the S in IoT stands for security” can be applied to the wearable market too. I wonder if this rule applies to any market with fast release cycles, thin margins and low barriers to entry?

It pretty much applies to every market where security negligence isn't an existential threat to the continued existence of its perpetrators.

I think the problem with exporting plastic waste is the poor environmental standards at the destination rather than the shipping. The containers usually come laden with goods from Asia and might otherwise be returned empty (aka repositioning or repatriation).

AFAIK, the Australian system doesn’t operate like this for visa overstays. Your friend may be confused with asylum applications for those who arrive by boat (which isn’t often used in practice).

Yes they arrest them and throw them in jail but not offshore jails. I was wrong about that, I checked with my friend.

Detention for overstaying your visa is pretty reasonable. That's not something you do on accident.
