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.

Only the silly parts of the UK. Some give education for free like a sensible place that gives a shit about its citizens.

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.

Am I reading correctly? Are you saying you cook pancakes in your rice cooker?

How do you do that?

It's possible to not be German and still enjoy the shape of leaves. Surprising, I know, but true

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

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.
