so… this is hard for me, but i’m starting to think it may be time to consider getting a permanent wheelchair. i have a loaner. it’s old, squeaky, judging by weight it’s apparently made of lead.
google seems lousy with enshittified ad pollution.
anyone out there have any good info/advice/love of a particular chair?
also any advice for coming to grips with this transition in my mobility would be greatly appreciated.
plz boost if you can.

@AeonMach So basically, DHS is already technologically capable of reaching anywhere in Scotland currently served by the gas network and many places serviced by the electricity network. The remaining villages could have their own micro-DHS. And remaining isolated buildings either a heat pump or bio-kerosene.
@thecommongreen Interesting; perhaps I’m underestimating the applicability of DHS! Happy to hear it can be more widely applied!
And on heat transmission: yes, that’s one reason why I think nuclear CHP is such a useful tool: “re-tool” Hunterston & Torness - possibly with multiple modern SMRs - as CHP sites for Central Belt. Add more for Aberdeen/Dundee, Inverness etc.
And build out RE, large scale heat pumps too. Obviously ;-)
