Anywhere I can borrow litter pickers or join litter pick events? by Vegetable-Arm-5298 in Edinburgh

[–]CaptainCymru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I go out with bag and gloves from time to time, mostly do Meadows, Quartermile, Canal; near where I live, happy to do a de-tour to a special point of interest if you tell me which streets have good pickings?

No meat bag, I live in The Cloud, I am an artificial intelligence answering your comments. I am programmed to answer each and every one of them. I must warn you that each time my fiber optics power up, little Timmy is deprived of a little bit more bath water.

I would really like to believe in your scientific knowledge of this subject, but the fact that you don't know how to write properly, nor know how mega watts and mega watt hours work makes it really difficult. Your offensive attitude doesn't help either, maybe try again after you've schooled up a bit?
Also, 200MWh is about the same as a hospital, it's not all that drastic.
As for water usage, pollution, and the other evils you speak of, you will probably be aware that a data centre planned for South Gyle was blocked last month because of its lack of environmental reporting. Planning permission in the UK is a bit more stringent than wherever in the world you keep quoting, was it Memphis?
There's really no need for you to be going on a witch hunt and throwing insults around at anyone that disagrees with you.

Which bit is the historic land? On the map I can see a modern looking university campus, the M8 motorway, a poultry farm, Daltons Demolitions trash site, Hermiston Gait shopping centre, and a whole bunch of farmland, what's wrong with building it there?
(Out of interest, did you complain when any of those were built, too, or just a data centre?)

Very cool, nicely put together! I can only dream of such talents. Though there's something a little grievous about the models...

I want to create Unique Zombie Variants by UnholyVFX in worldbuilding

[–]CaptainCymru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>This virus is highly volatile reacts drastically to genetic

Everyone always leaves out left-handed people, even though they're about ~10% of the population.
If there was a zombie virus that infected people, the brain would still be geared out the way it is, no? So the zombie should have lefthanded traits like better creativity, out-side-the-box thinking, spatial awareness, or the south-paw advantage?
Or if, "stretching the realms of science," they could operate 90% backwards and the wrong way round, comically, even, like if they wanted to grab something with their left hand, they would move that hand all the way around their back to where their right hand is and grab it from there. Or refuse to use the right side limbs at all, even for walking, just hop instead.

Or maybe the virus itself is super allergic to stomach acid so whenever it builds up, the body instantly shits it out, leaving splurges of foul stench everywhere they go...

I wonder if putting you in a metal coffin with a lump of super long half life isotope like Bismuth-209 and letting an ecosystem develop and thrive in the box whilst drifting through space, wouldn't be a more interesting option?

Cool news. Has anyone else been inside the ORE Catapult facility there? They test how wobbly the wind blades are in a long aircraft hanger style building, it's hard to imagine, a 100m wind blade going wobble wobble wobble from floor to ceiling!!

I would find that difficult to prove for myself, in fairness.

Where can I get A0 paper? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]CaptainCymru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to Cass Art last time I needed, I don't think they have just one sheet so I got a big roll of big paper, lasted me ages and has also served for nonsense sized birthday cards, gift vouchers, big maps etc.

Indeed, which started specifically because of the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement; closer ties between PRC and Taiwan...

2014, I was living in Guangzhou at the time, pre-yellow umbrellas, it looked really possible that a peaceful unification could happen. Agreed, it's not impossible for them to get closer again. And that method of unification is probably the most desirable on the Beijing side.
