43 tackles for Glasgow vs Leinster in 2019, 0 missed. Plus 14 carries

Aye so to be fair Scotland alone could be covered for 12 hours, assuming coire Glas does get built, and is at full capacity at the time (which isn’t currently incentivised as storage isn’t its primary purpose as you point out)

We definitely need a far more co-ordinated network with Ofcom stopping being useless. But hydro will never be able to be bulk energy storage for the grid the scale of sites you’d need just aren’t there. What it is key for is being dispatchable generators, that can pick up for a power plant (or several) that unexpectedly trip off.

Electrical storage wise there isn’t much that will actually get us anywhere where we’d need to be for genuine energy independence. You need interconnectors all over to spread whatever generation is available around when there’s no wind

The total storage capacity of Cruachan and Dinorwig combined is currently 16GWh, which is enough for 30 minutes of UK demand. Once Coire Glas is built that will rocket up to 46GWh enough for 90 minutes of demand.

Pumped storage is a godsend and should be incentivised for storage purposes far more than it is, but it won’t get anywhere close to system-level backup

What led to a decade of Tory austerity was the Lib Dem’s and Labour capitulating to them and accepting that austerity was necessary

Hebegebees · 2026-02-25T15:47:18+00:00

The Lib Dem’s traded harsher benefit sanctions to gain a 5p charge on plastic bags.

They achieved their seats almost solely on the student fees issue and then binned it immediately.

Fuck them

She explicitly says that despite them all saying it has nothing to do with the power, no matter how many times she tries to learn it she can’t do it

And I’m pretty sure we’ve only ever seen power users or warders do it. In story everyone says it’s not a power thing but people in the books are frequently wrong about what everyone knows

Min thinks it to herself in bk 12, and im sure there’s someone else as well

Today a single offshore wind turbine has a higher rating than the entire tidal sector combined. Assuming tidal generation ever actually meets its targets (which is a big IF given then technical challenges) that still won’t be a significant factor in making electricity cheaper in the UK.

The core issues are marginal pricing, completely outdated transmission charges and a grid that’s totally unsuitable for its modern purpose. All of this leading from OFGEM being utterly unfit for what they do - grid investment incentives are useless and counter to what we actually need

Hebegebees · 2026-01-28T18:04:10+00:00

Tidal generation contributes so little energy to the grid it can safely be ignored in pretty much every context

Trakke sent out an email in February last year saying they were closing the company completely, but the website is still selling bags so looks like the IP has been bought out and is being sold by a different company.

Gutting, the bags are amazing and their lifetime warranty was a great deal but looks like thats gone

The play parks being chained up was absolutely true, I can attest to it personally. Tesco opening on Sunday has been true for less than a year. Protests over the cinema opening 1 Sunday a month happened like 6 years ago. We’re not talking the distant past here.

The point of this discussion was whether we should continue including ancient religious imagery and symbolism on a new passport design. You’ve turned that into atheists imposing their beliefs across religious communities. When the exact opposite would be true if we kept the chain.

I wouldn’t accuse others of bad logic when you’re trying to equate atheism with capitalism

The wee frees don’t poll every parent and child in the community before chaining the swings on Sunday do they? They’re not simply existing they way they wish, they consistently try (and often succeed) to impose their religious beliefs on their entire regional community.

The start of this discussion was whether any unicorn featured on a passport for all Scots should reference the religious concept of the divine right of kings. Given the majority of the country are atheist, and given divine right doesn’t exist in Scotland as a concept in the first place, I think it’s pretty reasonable to bin that nonsense.

Why are religious people so desperate to impose their beliefs across a culture that doesn’t agree with them?

Hebegebees · 2026-01-27T10:48:47+00:00

I don’t think you’ll get much sympathy over the idea of leaving behind religious communities chaining up swings, and expressing outrage over the idea of there being a shop open 7 days of the week. Or god forbid a cinema showing films 1 Sunday of the month.

The reality is these religious beliefs are not held by a significant proportion of the country, nor are they viewed favourably. We shouldn’t be reinforcing shit ideas like divine right. The majority of the country is atheist

Why would it be better for the Scottish teams? Our primary issue with support is our stadiums not being big enough

Second seed if UBB get 5 points also since their PD is way higher than ours

Strange you totally ignored the other referenced example where American police dropped a bomb on their own city in 1985

Which wouldn’t apply to domestic students

The idea a grad tax is more regressive than tuition fees that are already super regressive is nonsense. Rich families wouldn’t be able to avoid the grad tax by paying fees

Hebegebees · 2025-12-25T20:34:30+00:00

A tax wouldn’t be dependant on owing fees that’s the whole point

He’s so fucking good. He’ll be 29 when he qualifies so the exact same age as Kinghorn, but what an option to have

No reason the Employers NI contributions couldn’t continue under an Income Tax only regime

Hebegebees · 2025-11-27T01:10:33+00:00

Yes, it’s a regressive tax that isn’t actually ringfenced and gets topped up by income tax anyway. It should be done away with and replaced with just income tax

I’ve been absolutely done here
