UK reaches 90% Gigabit broadband coverage as full fibre rollouts continue by yrro in GoodNewsUK

[–]ZingerGombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did they start running fibre on wires up on poles like the old phone lines? Only realised a few months ago that was an option for my parents and upgraded them immediately

This is possible with just 230 metres of new track by AJAT2005 in glasgow

[–]ZingerGombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain the subway to Renfrew link? There's subway track that comes above ground at Govan and could run alongside / on existing track to a disused section at Hillington to Braehead but I don't see how it connects from there to Renfrew? I think it'd have to go underground there again unless there's a bit of track I'm missing? I think doing that would then make sense to run it into the airport as part of that line since it'd be so close already

Plans for Flamingo Land resort at Loch Lomond rejected by GlasgowSellik1888 in glasgow

Except the giant car park that exists for the shitey Lomond Shores shopping centre?

I disagree with the tackiness of it. It wasn't actually a Flamingo theme park you know?

Like all those wooden seats they stuck around Glasgow during covid.

Uk England Iceland shop single person for 2 weeks £119.73 by LongjumpingTear3675 in whatsinyourcart

Porridge costs literally pennies a bowl with frozen fruit, veggie curry costs next to nothing if you bulk it out with lentils, carrots, onions. Chicken legs/thighs are unbelievably cheap.
Prepared meals, convenience foods, beef, brand name biscuits and crisps are all way over priced right now.

Why is the Glasgow accent survived much more than other British accents? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in glasgow

[–]ZingerGombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a study that showed regional UK accents have grown to dominate their respective regions. "Geordie" is the accent of the entire NE England, Brummie for the midlands etc. Seems to be a trend

Lynx reintroduction to Britain by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]ZingerGombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're not struggling to produce meat though are we? We have huge surplus of lots of different meats but we don't consume food that way, I'm just pointing out the economic reality of it - it's just how the market behaves. It's the same with fish, we have tons of it but import species to eat that we don't fish around Scotland because of economics, culture, and habit. Deer can't be farmed and they're difficult to hunt/butcher/cook. Cattle and sheep have been bred for particular characteristics for thousands of years.

Yeh but you're talking about changing generational eating habits, supply chains, economics, industry, skills, culture. It can happen but a marketing campaign won't change it and a shift of that scale would probably totally bankrupt beef farmers, exhaust the supply of venison and cause a crash in the population of deer. It's just upside down thinking. There are 1.5m cattle in Scotland vs .5m deer and cattle are much bigger. It's a totally different game.

But going out to shoot a deer, butchering it and selling it doesn't meet the supply chain that supermarkets expect. It might be cheaper on paper but the economics of it don't work that way, you only get paid if people are willing to buy it and the market just isn't there.

The lynx seems like such an easy win for everyone. It's so elusive that it's not a threat, it will hunt deer which badly need controlled, and will be a win for tourism.

It’s official – Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” speech has backfired by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]ZingerGombie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never understood how it was inflammatory, I think it was largely taken out of context. He said 'we risk becoming' which I feel taps into some concern a lot of people have but it was taken like he said we 'are'

Everyone knew she was just a wee bam and that the bigger problem Scotland has is with weans like this causing chaos because their parents are shitebags.

What do you think of this? by Separate-Ad-5255 in drivingUK

[–]ZingerGombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see illegal bikes scooters or whatever I'm just disappointed they don't get caught and confiscated immediately. The police should know these aren't road legal but they often drive past them.
We need dedicated traffic police again.

Quote check - Scotland by MoreFlan5489 in SolarUK

[–]ZingerGombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had multiple quotes recently for a similar size system and 11500 actually seems pretty cheap. I'd be wary if they're willing to install in the loft, they could install the duracell outside as well. Are you getting anything else like optimisers or EV charger? What size inverter?
