Do you run the water while soaping up in the shower?
  • 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.

  • Conservatives plan to bring back mandatory National Service
  • 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.

  • Google Accidentally Deleted $125 Billion Pension Fund's Account
  • Let the people who installed/created it maintain it or let a bunch of new folk do it, which is likely to work best?

    The abroad part isn't the issue. We're a global village with the Internet now, after all. It's the outsourcing part that's the issue.

  • Children's mental health records published after cyber attack
  • 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

  • Falklands dispute may last decades - Argentina president
  • They've done a lot of exploration, though. I worked on some of the kit that went there. It came back pretty beat up, so it's rough out there, but there's plenty of oil.

    New oil extractions were halted in the North Sea for a while, not extracting it doesn't mean much. It just means it's not been deemed profitable enough yet.

    Scotland launches campaign "give cycle space", reminding that those riding bike are real persons
  • There's been a huge uptick in pedestrianisation, bus gates, cycle lanes, Low Emission Zones, and now an ad campaign supported by the Scottish police. The SNP just dropped their agreement with the Greens, and it's cost their leader his job.

    Infrastructure takes time, and it's moving in the right direction.

    Could it be faster? Absolutely.

    But this campaign is hardly something to be complaining about.

    The company store is slowly making its way back in vogue
