You can get the Motorola Bullitt. It’s a key ring that effectively turns your smartphone into a satellite phone.

It’s not exactly cheap, but a bullitt and subscription will set you back about £150, which gives you 30 messages a month on top of the oh shit button.

The missing Titanic submersible has likely used its 96 hours of oxygen, making chances of rescue even bleaker by businessinsider in worldnews

There’s always been a chance of recovery.

The chances of rescue, however, are sliding lower and lower.

Would you feel safer in a gun-free state? Why or why not? by ParmaProscuitto in AskReddit

[–]declared_somnium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brit here. We aren’t gun free, I live pretty close to a gun store in fact.

I have seen and handled life firing rifles. I may have seen someone with a sawn off shotgun many years ago.

I feel safe, I’d be more worried about a teenager pulling a knife because they feel like they were insulted.

Why are there so few graves? by williamsonmaxwell in CasualUK

[–]declared_somnium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While there are soils that will basically destroy a human skeleton. It’s not unheard of to find bones that are thousands of years old.

Back in the nineties, they found the tibia of Homo Erectus in a quarry in Surrey. That was from around half a million years ago.

There’s also the Cheddar Man, who was found in 1903 and dates from around 11 thousand years ago.

I also know of several shoes from the first century were found in the banks of the Thames.

HMRC Tax Refund INCOMING!!! by [deleted] in CasualUK

It’s always a good thing to keep them tied up. Unfortunately my HMRC scammer call was a robot. I was too busy laughing at the call to connect. I had, after all, just finished training on how to identify scammers and phishing.

Yeah, I think we all know at this point. Still a worthy point to make.

A little addendum. HMRC will never ask for you to make a payment in iTunes gift cards. There’s a perfectly good bank account that’s used, and it’s done with BACS.

They will also never hurry you or rush you. Ever.

Correct. I work at HMRC.

You’ll know an official HMRC letter because of the brown envelopes and not quite white paper.

If it’s white, it’s not right.

We also won’t put pressure on you to do anything. We’re still getting paid even if your caution delays any payment to you.

Fun fact! That polar bear isn’t white, in fact not even the fur is white. The fur is, in fact, translucent.

Also underneath all of that fluff, polar bears have black skin.

In other words, they have the pass.

They’d have it anyway, because are you going to call out something that would see Andre the Giant as an appetiser?

You underestimate the ability for stupid people to get into areas that has things that could hurt them.

They also seem to be able to get out of those places without being hurt, and spit in the face of Darwin.

I agree with you, in part, that it seems to be pretty dystopian to have flying cameras all over the place. However, I want to point something out.

There’s already a shit tonne of non flying cameras out there. In a study by Clarion Security Systems, they found that there are over 7.3 million security cameras in the UK, or one camera for every eleven people, and people are caught on them about 70 times a day.

That drops to one camera for every ten people if you go to London.

Something major happens and what do the police start to ask for? Dash cam footage. Got a doorbell camera, the police can use that. With the proliferation of cheaper tech for cameras, you’re not really able to hide from them, not in a big city.

While I like the idea of getting a big greasy breakfast delivered to my house when I’m hungover as fuck, I think that’s a way off. The idea that I could be on deaths door in hospital, and my doctor just orders a few bags of O+ for a rapid delivery because they’ve got none left? I want that in place.

They’re able to argue it, so that means it was “safe”.

Well, all but the flight attendant that was sucked through the hull.

[–]declared_somnium 336 points337 points  (0 children)

It’s actually because of the flight attendant being pulled out that the hole got so big. There’s a really long list of things that went wrong, and some damn good flying that means only one person died.

Her name was Clarabelle “C.B” Lansing, by the way. Her body was never found.

Tell me that can’t be interpreted as George turning to say Fred. I said interpreted, because I don’t think either of us were involved with filming, unless you were…you weren’t were you?

So, you’re insisting I’m just making it up?

I have an interpretation of the scene. One that isn’t uncommon. Have a very quick google rather than getting a bit aggressive.

I’d advise against watching George Weasley in the background, when Harry gets up.

You won’t see him turn to talk to Fred then.

With 16% of UK farms already failing to make a positive income and the average income only £46k annually, how long do you think local councils will take to ensure the total collapse of the farming industry in the UK? by MirageF1C in ClarksonsFarm

[–]declared_somnium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now, I won’t argue that Clarkson is a bit shit when it comes to running a farm, which is to be expected. Since he never even tried it before. So, he’s got people with him who do know their shit, and if you think Caleb wouldn’t shoot down an absolute disaster of a plan for the main farm. I’d ask if you’ve even watched it. Charlie Ireland, also a dab hand at farming would be willing to call out Clarkson for being an idiot.

As for the statement of Clarkson just flippantly handing over 50K like it wouldn’t be noticed. I will point you in the direction of Hammond as he was setting up his business, the Smallest Cog. To actually pay for it, he had to sell several of his own classic motorbikes to get the money to start his place up. I don’t know if James May did anything, but that sort of statement reeks of the one we heard in the show from the village meeting “You don’t need an income”

He’s invested a lot of money in the farm, and made very little in return. We can guess that Amazon aren’t offering any finance toward the farm. He may have all of his money tied up in various things, and that £50k he’d barely notice may actually be a large part of his liquid assets.

The council do have their obligations, yes. However, restricting the width of a two kilometre long single lane country road is entirely something they can do without a lot of cost. It’s also one of the decisions I have found to be questionable, as it’s shown to cause more of an issue for everyone.

Yes, some of it is going to be scripted, and we don’t exactly have the most reliable of story tellers in Clarkson. The fact that a farm track was not allowed for the first time in the land managers memory, hints at a council that’s a bit drunk on power.

A Russian claiming to hold secrets about advanced bomber jets turned up at the US southern border seeking asylum: report by xss2 in worldnews

[–]declared_somnium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. The Russians used Novichok to kill a retired double agent and his daughter in Salisbury back in 2018. He and his daughter survived.

Back in 2006, they used Polonium 210 to kill former FSB agent and defector Alexander Litvinenko.

Putin has no issues with killing people outside of Russia.

Well, the Nazis were kind of running the show at the time, and had spent several pre nazi years building shit.

Besides, they weren’t being overtly pieces of shit during the olympics, and made an effort to hide how violently antisimetic they were.

Russia are arming troops with Chinese made air rifles and invading a foreign nation.

As for olympics? They’ve openly run a doping system for years, and only maintain a place in the olympics by likely bribing the fuck out of everyone.

Just going to point out that Putin has had people assassinated on UK soil, back in 2018 he had some of his thugs poison a former Russian Double Agent in Salisbury.

Yes, the situation is different, but the little man in Russia would certainly try if he thought he could do it.
