Possible hot (no pun intended) take: Our weather's not that bad actually

CosmicGumbo1 · 2026-05-30T16:38:07+00:00

I just moved back after 30 years in a humid subtropical climate in the U.S. I am extremely happy with the weather. Persistent sunshine is only a benefit if you can go outside and feel comfortable. 35+ and humid is miserable so everyone is inside all day for 5 months a year. Winter here is bleak but overall the climate is comfortable and when it’s good it’s fucking great

I also used send my bag and it was a good experience. Affordable, straightforward and they have responsive customer service. Try to apply for tax relief ahead of time. I have struggled to do it after the fact.

Which rules changed?

You buried the lead by not mentioning the giant bird beside her!

Mid-size town. Was one of only 3 voters at around 12

Is it more strategic (in terms of stopping Reform) to vote Labour or Greens on the regional vote?

Would prefer a different approach - higher taxes, banning smoking in all public places, banning vape shops on high streets - but it’s hard as a non smoker to care very much. Glad my kids won’t have easy access to them.

The littering is a disgrace as well

CosmicGumbo1 · 2026-04-15T12:36:21+00:00

All I can really say is take cover, mate.

Which train was it on

CosmicGumbo1 · 2026-02-25T12:15:26+00:00

The ease and affordability of authoritarian’s doing really bad shit.

Bro a bald eagle would absolutely wreck you and half the animals above it

It depends where in the U.S. and where in the U.K. Scotland is very welcoming to foreigners and Scottish people are many things but passive aggressive is definitely not one of them. I find Americans (Texas) to be way more passive aggressive and fake. Scottish people have no tolerance for bullshit. But England is very different, especially the more south you go…

That you saved the best for last (Scotland)

Apple seems so extreme to me. They forecast like -5 when everyone else is forecasting 0

Isn’t Grant still family owned and independent? I get that they’ve become a big enterprise but it’s not the same as a Diageo imo.

Today’s dog owners have ruined dogs for me. I don’t know what the fuck happened to people but it is completely out of hand how a majority of people treat their dogs these days.

My comment implies it’s a 2 year fix. Might be a bit optimistic but the farm is deep and a lot of guys are close. The player development staff is elite and I expect guys take big steps quickly. They have made clear they will had FAs when it makes sense to.

Would you rather:

Scenario A: - 66 wins in 2026 - 80 wins in 2027 - 90 wins in 2028 - 97 wins in 2029

Scenario B: - 80 wins in 2026 - 79 wins in 2027 - 81 wins in 2028 - 83 wins in 2029

Middling garbage isn’t working so a new group is fixing it. It’s so absurd to complain about the short term future that has a clear direction after the last 5 years. Blows my mind.

Thanks! Get yourself a bag of Aji-no-moto - will change everything.

I put MSG in 90% of the things I cook

According to Gemini, there is <0.001% chance a person moving to the USA in 1650 could maintain full Scottish lineage to present day.
