I've been meaning to ask: councils are basically of highly variable size, right? Some are basically a neighborhood government, others are what a Yank would describe as a county government?

The planning officer admitted if I just did it they would have to allow it though as they dont have the power to prevent it. which is a clear and helpful strategy to have adopted is the problem, i dunno, birds getting blinded? one presumes you're not putting a solar-thermal death laser on your house

Cimber posted:if your Labour are anything like our democrats I would not be surprised. Our Dems are renowned for the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Labour seem to be worse than the democrats these days tbh, mostly due to the UK having much stronger top down control of the party leading to Starmer ousting the Good Labour Pols I gather if I lived in the UK I'd be voting snp even if I lived in Cornwall and had to run for the slot myselr

funny thing about the world's densest billionaire* is that he's done multiple genuinely tricky submarine rides, you'd think he'd take one look at this operation and go "lol good luck guys" * may not actually be billionaire, it's frankly tricky enough to find detailed info about the investment group he started in 02

The same company makes vessels that have gone to the bottom of the Marianas trench (and come back up again). I wish to reiterate Harding rode one of those or something much like it farther than this, and then took a look at the groversub breaking free of the tethers of maritime vessel inspection and basic good sense and went "yes I will ride this thing"

worst toilet sinking was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-1206 but i'm positive I've read about others; maybe they were just partial disasters though, not ship loss actually this one wasn't a direct toilet sinking either, just a partial flooding that caused them to surface while still in an area crawling with British airplanes

a friend of mine and her parents decided to go from permanent residency in the US to citizenship two thirds because of Brexit and one third because of Donald Trump she's still livid that she doesn't have a fully schengen ready passport anymore (also her parents immigrated to Britain from Egypt so I bet a bunch of these shitters would respond "good, we don't want browns here")

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:"Debris" has been found in the search area, so yeah, they 100% imploded when their signal went dead. Hopefully it was quick, it's a horrible way to go. Implosion even "only" at 1400m is faster than human nerves can send signals around at most they heard the badly designed and undercalibrated hull integrity alarm go "beep?" and had enough time to think "wha-"

at the most basic level leaving human remains lying around is basically super-littering and somebody needs to do the cleanup what I'm saying is 1) bring back paupers' mass graves and 2) pay the dustmen's union a living wage and then some

sky burials are pretty cool. they are also space inefficient and, in bulk, are probably unsanitary there are better ways to feed the scavenger birds that will inherit Britain, and there are better ways to turn corpses into
