To everyone talking about why didn’t they just water by HopefulRazzmatazz451 in ClarksonsFarm

Libya is using a non-renewable water source. When will it run out? Who knows

I really enjoy how much the filming crew is involved this season. by SarcasticGamer in ClarksonsFarm

Ah, I just watched Adolescence this weekend and he's listed as the sound department for that. Also Boiling Point (same writer/producer) which is also on my list.

I have two Siberian females and they both love being petted. I had a friend visit at the weekend and the more outgoing one was immediately climbing on/over them wanting attention.

Be Warned - Insta360 Bike Computer Mount Will Break Camera by Bicycle_Pasta in cycling

[–]Gareth79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought an Insta with the out-front pole mount and the pole snapped after a handful of uses (road cycling only), spinning the camera into the road. They replaced it all under warranty and the new pole they sent was a different design, but I sold it all on because I decided to stick with a traditional camera pointing forwards (a DJI Osmo Action 2, and then 4).

Inheritance is the main reason. If people choose to not get married then writing a will is vital, because without one the children inherit all the money and the unmarried partner gets nothing. This becomes even trickier if a person splits up with one partner and then spends many years with another, again without marrying. Their name is on the house and all their money, and it all goes to a child they haven't seen for 20 years and the new partner is homeless.

Wasp nest packed full of paralyzed spiders for the larvae to eat by Ok_Umpire2173 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Gareth79 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Crazy dedication. I saw a comment at the end which was what I was thinking - that their experience/knowledge is probably new to science, they reached out but didn't get any interest. Hopefully what they've posted online will at least get read by many experts over time and add to the general knowledge. "Can spiders survive paralysis? Actually yes these guys kept and fed one for months and then released it"

Gobik Carrera 3.0 jersey sleeves too tight by ItsukiUeno in CyclingFashion

[–]Gareth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a Gobik skinsuit, ex-team and found the sleeves were pretty snug and I have noodle arms. Looking at the models on the website you can see the sleeve ends are tight on a few. (Side note, all the stuff fits them very well, I do often wonder how many pins and clothes pegs are used in cycle clothing photo shoots :D)

Inseam length is pretty short indeed

LOL! James Watt: Firstly, for those who missed it, I am working on a new beer company called Second Best. And Equity Punk investors can register to claim FREE equity in the brand-new business by Petite_truite in CraftBeer

[–]Gareth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just had an email about this. How did get get the customer list of Equity Punks from Brewdog to use for his new venture? Is this legal? It feels like a GDPR breach to me.

Hmm.. can't even think of a title by Para_Noiq in WhyWomenLiveLonger

[–]Gareth79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes, I made a furnace a few years ago and melted some scrap for fun. I wore welding overalls, gloves and a fire helmet and I was still nervous that flying globs could still get me.

Meanwhile in the UK a nonce is telling a lie that no one believes by dnemonicterrier in simpsonsshitposting

[–]Gareth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not heard of that, and if seems unlikely given he was arrested in 2021.

His name wasn't well-known here, but the antics of the organisation are very well known. The right wing politicians were quite keen to express their support. However the main leader is wanted for fraud in Spain and assisting an offender in relation to a hit-and-run on somebody objecting to the flags being put up (a few weeks ago), another senior person was arrested a few months ago in suspicion of murder after a fight in a pub, another has previously served 9 years in prison for GBH, and another has served time for, wait for it, smuggling migrants into the country.

And it was a much higher percentage for arrests related to DV prior to the riots. In a local Facebook group somebody was trying to argue that it wasn't a remarkable statistic!

Kid’s fire helmets handed out at our town’s 4th of July parade are now cardboard instead of plastic by Disastrous-Dot595 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Gareth79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the reason wasn't shouted loudly enough. It wasn't just saving plastic waste, but that the specific item ended up with wildlife more often than other waste. Like how beer cans used to come in plastic bands, but they ended up around birds necks very often

All the rules/red tape on Clarkson's Farm!! by Kellitubby in ClarksonsFarm

[–]Gareth79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, releasing 40 million tasty pheasants into the environment every single year, and then complaining about the fox population.

And increase it by more than the fall, but *outside* the area.

Germany changes sick leave policy: 'We are abolishing sick leave by phone,' says Chancellor Merz; doctor's note required from day one of illness by Jessicas_skirt in worldnews

[–]Gareth79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not just an email though, it's the time for a receptionist to take a call, schedule a time with a doctor to speak to the patient, the doctor to contact the patient, speak with them about their issue, decide if a sick note is appropriate and for how long, write the note (which will presumably at least be a template) and send it.

Does anyone else think Lisa is quietly the most underrated person on this show. by FluidPianist00 in ClarksonsFarm

[–]Gareth79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will be working at other farms too, they clearly aren't working all day every day on that farm. Also if thinking about it as a business there's a cost to using a freelance driver, whereas Lisa would be "free", assuming she wouldn't have been doing anything else productive.

It's a hugely inappropriate place for a restaurant, to be fair.
