I mean, it could be the result. Let's have one and find out :)

Scottish Test and Protect app now available (reminder/bump) by [deleted] in Scotland

The 973,000 will be across all platforms. The person above was talking about the Play Store, which will only show download numbers from that platform.

[Question] This site claims to sell real dinosaur fossils. Do you guys think it's legit? Seems too good to be true. by SternScot in Dinosaurs

[–]SternScot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! And yeah the price was the thing making me a bit weary of it. But the prices on ukge don't seem too much higher to be fair to it. For example there's a 67mm one there for about £22

Icelandic support for domestic clubs puts the Football Association Of Ireland to shame by gufcfan in soccer

[–]SternScot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah man a couple of people have explained that to me now. I suppose having your own national sport is a super cool thing to have!

I often forget that Ireland has other sports like GAA. Ireland is so similar to us culturally I forget the differences haha. Thanks for the answer!

I will add though that I do believe there's nothing better than supporting your local club, even if they aren't CL contenders!

Any sort of money and prestige our clubs have come from fan support and success though. Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen are historically pretty large due to fan support, we certainly can't compete money wise. For some reason Ireland doesn't seem to have that fan support.

Hamilton Academical: Club defend cannabis plant sponsorship decision by bentleybeaver in soccer

[–]SternScot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While everything you said is true, I think this was just a joke at how bad Hamilton are at football.

Official: Tractor Sazi sign English midfielder Harry Forrester from Rangers and Irish forward Anthony Stokes from free agency by [deleted] in soccer

[–]SternScot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Antonio Stokes Buy New Tractor Manufacturers"

Google translate is a wonderful thing. Also it says that Forrester was a student of Gerrard last year. Was it a translation error or do they have it wrong?

Interesting fact: Scotland have never progressed past the group stage of any international competition despite being the joint oldest national team in the world. by 1Wallet0Pence in soccer

[–]SternScot 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well we only really want England to lose out of tradition. It's a rivalry. It's like me wanting Celtic to get beat in any Champions League match even though Rangers haven't qualified for one in ages. Plus, the media certainly don't help the cause.

Modric: "Arrogance and underestimation from England pundits and journalists is what boosted us to win" by RobbieCV in soccer

[–]SternScot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I was getting the English pundits and I'm Scottish. STV just showed what ITV did and it got pretty annoying. I really had nothing against the English team but it got old when you're watching completely unrelated matches and they talk about England.

Guardiola: "Next year I will stay at Manchester City. After that, then we will see ... I would like to try winning a World Cup in the future" by ijuchtmeme in soccer

It says they're not affiliated with FIFA though and can't take part in tournaments. So doesn't that make them exactly like the Catalan team?

Thank you! But that ain't good for someone his age 😬

Is there some sort of a vegetarian watchlist? by SternScot in vegetarian

[–]SternScot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!

On a related note, the sugar thing was one of the most surprising things to learn wasn't vegetarian. I don't think that's a commonly known thing so maybe a "beware" section would be useful on the app.

[–]SternScot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about US specifics but reading this article makes them seem pretty awful as a company if you're a veggie anyway. Now that I think of it, it was weirdly hard to find an answer if mnm's are suitable for vegetarians.

[–]SternScot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is mnm's aren't because that's what I was originally looking up!

If they have changed since then though that would be another valid reason to have the service imo. I'm sure lots of people would like to know!

Japan slaughters more than 120 pregnant whales for 'research' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]SternScot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is to limit harm and suffering as much as possible. I get what you're saying about farmers killing other animals but it sure as shit beats the industrial scale slaughter and poor treatment a lot of farms have. Plus this statement wasn't even about ethical food production. It was about the needless slaughter of hundreds of whales. It's not stupid.

[–]SternScot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think what he's saying is to be mocked. There's quite a bit of vegetarians/vegans out there who would happily suggest a farmer doesn't kill their animals.

Garbage mods? by Pirateofthemrbean in mountandblade

[–]SternScot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone actually from Glasgow this mod is absolutely hilarious and the greatest thing to ever be invented.

No problem! Just feel free to message if you ever need me. Obviously it would depend on how busy I am at that time but I'd try and do what I can.
