Maybe don't rip off content and waste server bandwidth and CPU and feeds for stuff that can't even be saved and used? I see quite enough of those hitting my sites and have to pay a premium to avoid hitting bandwidth limits then keeping out my actual target audience.
My children have no middle name, and neither did I or my brother.
"Build tight, but ventilate right"
Easy low-cost low-disruption insulation should be done, typically for the UK draft-proofing, and loft/cavity insulation.
But very high levels of insulation may never repay their carbon (and financial) cost when a home is heated with a heat-pump from a very low-carbon grid. It's the next part of my research programme: "understanding first" vs "fabric first".

A mix of uncorrelated or anti-correlated sources is good, so some solar in the mix is good, optimally a smaller solar fraction in Dunbartonshire than in Devon.
But golf clubs are apparently OK.
(ALL of the UK's projected solar PV generation needs could be fitted into existing gold courses with plenty left over, AFAIK. I do not know if that holds for Scotland by itself, but there was no shortage of golfing close to where I used to live...)
Contrast is too low for me to read it comfortably. The WAVE tool confirms contrast problems...
Possibly edit your title to start with Show HN:
in London the 60+ Oyster Card is free to use on many forms of London public transport (outside morning peak) but is very much not free: ~£40 set up fee and an annual fee until age 65.

Only giving out a first name is entirely normal to protect staff from malicious activity, eg doxxing and harassment, and if you have recorded the times of your calls should be entirely enough to legally identify those staff members in court if required. (You are noting the times of your calls to them and their approximate content?)
At this stage with an unusual flow of money of that order into your account Stripe is likely obliged to consider Anti Money Laundering and similar investigations for a start, and delay to handing on the cash is likely its main risk reduction tool at this moment.
