Your comment reminded me of the fun fact that there’s more water in Loch Ness alone than all of England and Wales’ lakes and rivers combined!

Add in all the other Scottish rivers and lakes, and you can see why Westminster is loathe to let Scotland have independence.

Some places just have a fuckton of water, and the Australian outback is not where Mad Max will take place irl in the future, but in these places.

Why? One of the candidates is standing on the platform of bringing back the monarchy. It’s fitting to use British iconography.

DuckDuckGo is ultimately just Bing though, which is what MrMakabar is complaining about

You think NATO v Russia is going to require conscription?

Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK, and USA v Russia is going to require conscription?

Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think 966 million people v 145 million people is going to require conscription?

Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think a country that has been at war with its small neighbour for 10 years and is struggling v the largest military alliance in the world with the largest economies in the world would require conscription?

I’ve been a bit of a dick here to get my point across but making excuses for the tories bringing back conscription is also a bit dickish.

If you want to sign up, go for it. If there comes a point where it’s required, I’m a relatively young fit man so would consider signing up too. But only when there’s a need for it. There is no need yet.

Plus, if we’re going for WW3, we’re all gonna die in the nuclear blasts before we even get a chance to put boots on the ground anyway.

NHS Dumfries of Galloway has confirmed some children’s mental health records have been published by criminals following a cyber attack.

Can’t even get the first line of their story correct. Dumfries AND Galloway

The large wind farm off the coast of Aberdeen could power about 70% of the entire city iirc. That was one of the first large offshore windfarms, they’ll only get better and more efficient. If large offshore windfarms become more common, then huge swathes of the country will be powered by them.

If we then become reliant on those windfarms (which appears to be part of the long term plan) then putting control of them in foreign hands gives them power over us such as “oops, a cable broke and now your whole city has gone dark, ease off on foreign policy A, or agree to trade agreement B, and we might be able to fix that cable for you”

It’s a nationally critical piece of infrastructure, it’s strange to source it out of country.

Of course, a UK company could try that kinda stunt as well, but they then need to answer to UK courts. It’s less daunting for foreign state run companies as they can pull out of country easier to avoid repurcussions and have the backing of their government.

Pòg mo thòn. Tha Gàidhlig sgoinneil!

What’s “the point” of any language? What’s the point in Dutch? Every Dutch person seems to know English fluently, so why do they continue to speak in Dutch if there’s only Dutch speakers around? Could it be because they’re free to speak in whatever fucking language they like and they prefer that one?

Gaelic has been destroyed over a long period of time, from romanticised Red Coat colonial oppression at the end of a musket to more recent “you must speak properly or you get the cane” oppression in 1960/70s children’s classrooms. That’s why it’s required government intervention to get back on its feet again. It’s our language whether we know it anymore or not. But it’s still alive (just), and it’s ours to take care of.

You may not speak it, you may not understand it, but Gaelic has as much right to be written and spoken in this country as English does.

Oh and that tax money you’re complaining about is also paid by Gaelic speakers, so if they want to see the name of their town or village in it’s original form on road signs as opposed to an anglicised butchering then that seems fair enough to me.

Sadly his battery life is crap though. Doesn’t even last an evening before needing charged again

The problem with the beurocrats is that they take all their orders from the aristocats

Upper middle class is a made-up term to make those in the working class who earn the most think they’re not in the same boat as “the poors”. If everything comes crumbling down, they’ll be waiting in the food lines like the rest of us. Millionaires and billionaires will not have the same problems.

We’ve seen from things like the Panama Papers that the rich are far richer than they’d have you believe. I’m sure they’ll be just fine being taxed a bit more.

Also, £120 billion of pension money is likely to wind up straight back in the pockets of the same billionaires anyway as they own the major companies that pensioners are going to be buying everything from anyway.

Spreading doom and gloom that we’ll just all have to suck it up and suffer the consequences of past decisions is a shite position. Don’t repeat past mistakes of letting the rich off with it, eat the rich, enjoy retirement at a reasonable age, spread socialism.

What shit did they pull with their app?

Yeah, that’s exactly the kinda thing I’ve poured it into!

The disposable cartridge it came in died so the atomiser must be burnt out in that one, but as far as I’m aware this one works.

Having left it overnight, it does appear to have mixed in with the e-liquid now, so hopefully you’re right and that’s all that’s needed. Got errands to do today so I can’t test it just now sadly.

No 80085?

So a difference of political opinion = toxic? Got it.

Obviously, being illegal in many places around the world this might be a bit difficult, but is there a book or something you learned all this from? I’m curious to learn more but don’t want my search history full of “how to grow pot”

Ah, good old broken YouTube app. I don’t know if this is true for everyone, but on my phone at least that link just took me to the beginning of the video.
