OwlFancier posted:Is that why they burn the moors in yorkshire then? I wasn't sure if it'd take trees up there cos it's very rocky, you can see it on the ascent, the old stone worn out by the rivers and glaciers to make the tees valley. Likely that's more about keeping grouse - I think the idea is they prefer the young heather which you get when it regrows after burning. Although the latest data seems to suggest it doesn't really make a difference to grouse density. Turns out rich landowners were poisoning watercourses and emitting loads of carbon for no reason at all other than tradition and the enjoyment they get from pissing off everybody else. I'm shocked.

Barry Foster posted:How is it melty? gently caress bosses, gently caress work, take time when you need to or indeed when you want to I accept the argument. Truthfully though? I enjoy working generally; my job specifically. Without wanting to reveal to much, the software we produce recently got directly attributed to saving someones life and a reduction of admission in a single hospital on the NHS of 200/month. That's an incredible motivation to work. Chuff McNothing fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Dec 4, 2019 |

To burn the moors you need to drain them. LOL the people who live in the towns and villages below when it rains badly. They also kill mountain hares in vast numbers despite their conservation status because they carry ticks that are bad for the grouse.

Yeah no grouse and capercaillie do fine in forests. Turns out birds are highly mobile and do great in all sorts of highland environments, even greatly varied ones source: literally all of loving Norway.

TACD posted:You can theoretically just flip your personality the same way you can just start eating healthy and going to the gym every day, but you won't because it's almost impossible to break a habit through sheer force of will. Two thoughts: this is why we need to fund philosophy for all!  And yeah, this is why material conditions are important. If people can easily change their situation in life to explore new possibilities (Foucault calls this experiments in living) then politics is likely to be a lot more informed and diverse. That doesn't mean "socialist" but it probably means "not regressive and racist".

Ms Adequate posted:A) Vicky 2's economic system is so overengineered that we once spent a couple days trying to figure out why putting China in anyone's Sphere of Influence would crash the world market and usher in a permanent recession, but all we managed to do was to confirm that every single theory we had on why it happens was wrong and that we couldn't actually discover the real cause, so we just made China un-spherable. It's a fun but very flawed game for sure. PS: Vote Labour.

at Brown Moses trying to make out that this thing is dodgy. It's incredible, because nobody is saying it's actually inaccurate or the contents of the 'real' report differ at all - just trying to create the insinuation that, because this was supposedly released by Russians, the contents of the thing itself are suss. I'll be honest I wasn't on board with "BM is a CIA stooge" before, but actual lol that in the course of one day he has convinced me irretrievably that he is.

The Tory running as a Lib Dem to split the anti-Tory vote in a historically Tory but recently flipped Labour ultra-marginal is proudly claiming an endorsement from people running concentration camps. 2019, people.  Thankfully he's being bodied in the replies

Awesome! ...and it’s gone  On another topic, I’m feeling goddamn elated today. I’ve been completely economically inactive for the past three+ years due to mental health poo poo (depression, crippling anxiety, an unexpected adult diagnosis of autism that probably shouldn’t have been unexpected..). But last night I soft-launched a new business venture of selling fudge over Facebook, and I woke up this morning to an inbox of orders. This’ll be the first ‘honest’ money I’ve made in what feels like forever (I have an old friend who’s been my lodger for the past twelve years which has just kept my head above water, but poo poo has been tight). It’s not a huge amount of money in the great scheme of things- not enough to live off- but it means I’ll be able to get proper Christmas presents for my wife and family for the first time in yonks.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I think it's less that it's schematised, and more the schema was seemingly designed before anything else. Like, dividing ideologies by their level of contentment with the status quo is a perfectly fine idea, you just need to make it so radicalization can cause ideological divergence rather than force everything to go down a single axis. The Vicky 2 political system was designed by a Scottish Tory. Let that sink in.

Graun sadly already killed that joy: quote:Candidates, or their agents, do get to see postal votes as they come in. They don’t get counted before polling day, but when they are opened someone has to check they are in order, and that process is overseen by the candidates.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:That's nice. Do you make the fudge yourself or buy it in? Totally homemade (I mean, I don’t condense my own milk or grow my own spices, but you know what I mean!) I’ve always loved sweeties and started making fudge the first Christmas after I had to stop working as I could afford gently caress all else. Then discovered I’m pretty good at it. My wife’s been telling me since then that I should sell it, but it’s taken me this long to get over all the associated anxiety that brings and actually go into action. I’ve been making a batch a week for the past few months to experiment and refine technique, flavours etc- some of which have been amazing and others I’ll never let see the light of day  Can I get a mod/IK response as to if it’s ok to link to the Facebook page here?
