- Comment on Swathes of Cairngorms unrecognisable after 12 days of ‘cataclysmic’ wildfires 4 days ago:
As long as they plant trees that have had a few years in a nursery first they should be able to coexist despite the roots. Heather roots are quite shallow, tree roots would generally be able to penetrate deeper underneath them. Eventually the canopy of the trees would kill off the heather allowing other plants to come through.
The biggest issue would be keeping the deer numbers low enough to allow the trees to establish and become mature.
That’s one of the reasons why there’s been a push to reintroduce wolves and lynx, to keep deer numbers manageable because decades of hunting and culls haven’t been working.
- Comment on Swathes of Cairngorms unrecognisable after 12 days of ‘cataclysmic’ wildfires 4 days ago:
On the bright side, heather doesn’t burn particularly hot, just quickly with lots of flame, so the soil should be relatively unscathed in most places.
Without the heather in the way this is the perfect opportunity for a rewilding push like is being seen in Glen Affric.
Deciduous and mixed forests don’t burn with the same ease that heather and coniferous forests do, so if they do rewild it not only restores the natural way of things but makes wildfires less likely to start in the first place.

- Is it addictive in any way? Have you got the ideal dosage worked out?
Lmfao. It’s an opioid, it’s very addictive. They’re not smarties.
There’s a lot OP can try between paracetamol and tramadol. They say the GPs probably have sob stories trying to get tramadol all the time and this reads exactly like one.
- Comment on Burnham to make some benefits conditional and ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare 5 days ago:
Twat. Starmer 2.0.
Journalists should start calling them out whenever they use the term welfare because that’s not what we have. We have workfare which is a very different concept.

The set of communication protocols to enable internetworking on the Internet arose from research and development commissioned in the 1970s by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense in collaboration with universities and researchers across the United States, United Kingdom and France.[4][5][6]

- Comment on Police declare 'major incident' as wind change increases Cairngorms wildfire risk 1 week ago:
False balance, known colloquially as bothsidesism, is a media bias in which journalists present an issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence supports. Journalists may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side, or may omit information that would establish one side’s claims as baseless. False balance has been cited as a cause of misinformation.[2][3][4]

One single local critic gets quite a bit of prominence.
- Comment on Police declare 'major incident' as wind change increases Cairngorms wildfire risk 1 week ago:
That article just reads of the BBC putting the boot into the Scottish Government. About as neutral and impartial as The Daily Mail writing about Greta Thunberg.
Especially the bit with McGinchley, whoever the fuck he is. It contradicts what was previously written about the Eccles.
- Comment on Thames Water announces hosepipe ban 1 week ago:
Hosepipes and pressure washers should not be used to:
-
water gardens, lawns, or allotments (this includes the use of sprinklers)
-
Plants and gardens can be watered with a watering can, and cars can be washed using a bucket
Filled with a hosepipe?..
What a bullshit performative measure. Many drier and hotter places manage to get by without hosepipe bans. The profits generated via private water should have been invested in greater reservoir storage or networking to access water from areas of the country more rich in it. But why bother investing in infrastructure for millions when you can just slap on a ban and lounge on your new super yacht I guess?

- Comment on Fun fact: The UK doesn't have an official flag or National Anthem 2 weeks ago:
No law has been passed making the Union Jack the national flag of the United Kingdom: it has become one through precedent. Its first recorded recognition as a national flag came in 1908, when it was stated in Parliament that “the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag”.[3] A more categorical statement was made by Home Secretary Sir John Gilmour, in 1933 when he stated that “the Union Flag is the national flag and may properly be flown by any British subject on land.”[82]

Just because it’s not official by your niche criteria doesn’t mean it isn’t official.

- Comment on Drugs, drones and heat: Amber Rudd and David Lammy begin search for answers to prisons crisis 2 weeks ago:
Over the course of the last decade, each year has seen an average of 2,685 new laws - the equivalent of almost seven and a half a day or one every three-and-a-quarter hours
www.theguardian.com/politics/…/houseofcommons.uk
This was in 2007. The size of the body of legislation has only grown since then. Literally impossible for anybody to follow every law. How about cutting down on some of that instead of trying to abolish jury trials, human rights, and releasing rapists early?
- Comment on Drugs, drones and heat: Amber Rudd and David Lammy begin search for answers to prisons crisis 2 weeks ago:
Fuck them. It does work, just because they’re outraged about it doesn’t change its efficacy.
Most of them are outraged because of government propaganda telling them “drugs are bad, mmkay”, so the government can just spin up propaganda to support health intervention instead.

Worth highlighting for the inevitable people that only read the headline:
“It’s not against the law to walk into a shop even if you’ve committed crimes in the past,” he said. “The idea of calling the police on somebody who hasn’t committed a crime, but there’s a concern they might, is really upending the way we do things. And of course, it’s not infallible. These systems do make mistakes, and it’s very hard to argue with that when it happens to you.”

Pretty much boots theory.
The Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more expensive items.
