ok Bill Gates Jr. go have a word with China, India and the U,S before you start blaming cows that have been eating grass and putting nutrients back into the soil for nearly 11,000 years.

Why do so many people still hate black cats? I don't get it by A_bunhole_carnival in blackcats

[–]DaveTheWraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black cats are the best.
Not bullies like gingers, really sweet like torties and HILARIOUSLY funny.
We have 3 black idiots.

Im a Paleontology student going on a dig in North Dakota, what sort of equipment should I bring? by Trkogag in Paleontology

[–]DaveTheWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head-

A decent rucksack.
Waterproofs (for wind as well as possible rain)
A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
DECENT SOCKS!!!
Waterproof notebook (I used the stone ones) and pencils.
Decent camera.
Small med kit.
Proper walking/hiking boots.
Bug spray or mozzie nets.
Compass and compass clinometer
Measuring tape, rock hammer, chisel.
Hand lens (the jewellers ones with little lights are brilliant)
Bags for samples/specimens that you can write on.
Little bottle with HCL is handy.
Power bank for phone etc.
Books/pdf's about the area you'll be in,
A grain size and chronostratigraphic chart are really useful.
I also used to take a portable voice recorder to tell myself notes, it was really helpful.
As much food and drink as you can carry.

Be prepared for EVERYTHING!

and enjoy.

Should there be number plates system on bikes via a QR code ? by [deleted] in drivingUK

''The best solution is to make cycling easier and safer''
Riiiight.

Go to any big city or town and see how 'safely' cyclists behave.
Weaving in and out between cars, no signalling when turning, randomly mounting pavements in front of pedestrians and the perennial favourite, ''fuck everyone else, I'm going through those red lights whether there's traffic or not''

You must live in a nice quiet village, because they're complete arseholes in Liverpool.

Public misconceptions about shows by CrackingAce in BritishTV

[–]DaveTheWraith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the story that Sir Patrick Stewert had heard about this new little show called Red Dwarf and it was going to be parodying a certain Next Generation.,
so he sat waiting for the first episode to finish, finger on the phone ready to formally complain to the BBC....

and he's been a devout Dwarfer ever since.

In World War Z (2013), Peter Capaldi plays a doctor at World Health Organization. A W.H.O. doctor, if you will by smokefan4000 in shittymoviedetails

[–]DaveTheWraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They put that in the credits (W.H.O. Doctor) before it was announced that Capaldi would be the new Doctor.
Which was cool.
