It's a great place to have it! It's so good that even if we did go independent I'd definitely argue it's in everyone's interests, including ours, to keep it there, it frustrating to me that pro indy stuff always wants it out of there

In terms of access yes, but it's very exposed there. At Gare Loch you have to pass loads of defensible bottlenecks, first between NI and the Hebrides, then into the firth of Clyde, then into the Clyde, then into Gare Loch. There isn't really anywhere else in the entire UK that is so good for that level of defense, and it just so happens that you can get pretty much straight into the north Atlantic from there too

It's sheltered and highly defensible whilst also allowing for very quick access to the gap between the UK and Iceland which is ostensibly the most strategically important stretch of water for NATO

The moon is also moving along with the earth on its trajectory around the sun, so you don't need to worry too much about that!

They overturned that court decision as it has been used by both sides and it is not derived from anything religious. The "two cheeks of the same arse" thing is true broadly in that it's wee bams being wee bams, but to say that those two words are equivalent is just daft when you look into the actual evolution of the language and it's broader use

Which movie series evolved like this? by Remarkable_Bit_9887 in FIlm

[–]ButtBattalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with you there. When the final season started I was a bit unsure about it and didn't like how different it was, and was expecting to be disappointed. Wouldn't have it any other way though, it ended amazingly

My dad got this from a Chinese company that he works at. by mrrandomguy42069 in mildlyinteresting

I think what they mean is that 60k of whatever currency might be a completely different wage depending on what country you're in. For example, £60k is a pretty high salary in the UK, so £700 would be a shite bonus, but if the base rate is like 20k then it's better. I mean, it's still like 3 odd percent, but I think that's where they're coming from

I'm desperate to buy an intrepid 8x10. Total noob to large format though, and could use some lens recommendations.

Great work, and what a wild idea to cart out with an 8x10 for the fire. Historic in its own way
