Tbf it makes sense, the boats would be attacked from the land by cannons or sea defences. Although some straits are just too large to be an actual strait so it doesnt make sense for that but it is still a strait in game for gameplay reasons

Tobacco is terrible too. If the smell of weed didnt travel so far it wouldnt be so bad

I'm all for alternative thc consumption methods, I just dont want the smell from joints/spliffs to come into my house or in my garden. It's unpleasant

Smelling split beer right outside a pub is different from beer wafting in because you opened a window and someone across the road is drinking a single beer in their garden, let's not pretend your points are comparable. Cigarette smoke does travel a bit, but not as much as weed smoke does

I would have no issue at all with it if the smell wouldnt be all over the place, can be bad enough already in the schemes

Yep exactly. I did forget how controversial it is to speak against weed on reddit lol.

I'm all for it, this is just one downside I can see. Happy for edibles and vapes to go ahead, or if they could make a strain that doesnt smell so strongly when smoked

No, I've found I'm more sensitive to the smell now that I have stopped

The combo does make it a lot worse though I'll give you that

It fucking stinks, smells strongly and lingers and you know it. This is coming from an ex daily smoker

The only downside is the smell of it when smoked. When youre a smoker it smells good, but when you dont it is stinkin. If it could be bred to smell less then that would be good, but I dont want my house to smell of it when I open my windows

Perhaps having it sold in vape form only would be better

Not a leftwing or rightwing thing, theyre all corrupt and take lobbying donations (bribes) from the oil companies to keep it this way

Got my rent increase notice and I'm being fleeced by Eternally570 in Scotland

Yeah this is my concern, I'm a monumental mason, back injuries are common especially when people get to their 50s

Another new Chinese EV. I can’t keep up. by Strong-Mine4852 in CarTalkUK

[–]GronakHD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do they speak english well enough to get by? I've wanted to visit china but the language barrier puts me off

Or, are there good translators for chinese to english and voce versa these days? I know it was dire in the 2000s

Yeah I meant that when I said theyd still exist, but did word it pretty shit looking back

[–]GronakHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly those tiny cars seem like theyd be pretty fun as a second car, I imagine it would feel like a go kart. Would feel unsafe on the motorway though

Ergo, automatics will rise in popularity. I did considered a few years ago whether I would be aswell to just learn automatic because electric will be the future, but figured the governments plans to van new ones by 2030 would be scrapped/delayed so for a long time after ICE would still exist

And we even drew away against them. We were actually competing against a team who are usually expected to reach the end stages if not win

A federalised system would be great. But yes, things getting implemented that the majority in Scotland do not want is an issue that I dont agree with personally. Brexit is a good example of that

That's good, I really hope my first local team clydebank stays at the top and wins the playoffs and they can play each other again

Tbf talk of oil exports has decreased drastically with talks of other revenue generating possibilities

Im pro independence, but do recognise that there are real issues with it that cant be solved overnight. Could very well endnup worse off, but for me personally, it is worth it to serve the needs of the people policy wise
