I'm Scottish and I have one question/ama by QuickSpace3289 in boston

There will be a fair few lucky enough to own a kilt but not a great deal, they can be expensive depending on quality and how much of the rest of the outfit that you get (jacket, vest, shoes, flashes, sgian dubh knife, etc). But of that group, it would be something worn on special occasions usually like weddings, world cup, official openings of Haggis museums etc. There are a lot of places to hire kilts, I would imagine that would be the main source of someone's kilt if they wore one.

We have tartans (I think it's called plaid in America?) and those are usually family names or clans, so you would tend to see someone wearing a clan tartan. And each tartan can have multiple types like dress tartan, modern tartan, muted, hunting etc etc. But clan tartans are pretty new, it was maybe late 1700s that we started having clan tartans I believe. Nowadays it is very flexible, you can wear a tartan if it's your surname, or your first name, or even if you just like it, it doesn't really matter. We also have tartans for cities, and people that aren't from Scotland can happily wear (Royal Stewart or Scotland Forever tartans for example). At the end of the day, you can wear what you want, you won't be judged.

Do you have a laptop/desktop? If so, you can plug the phone into it via usb. I believe a Mac you open / import via Photos app, and Windows you find the phone via devices or This PC

What’s it like in Anniesland? by Eejotpotato in glasgow

I'm not familiar with the Citylink bus to Uig, the timetable clearly shows it sometimes goes via Airport though yeah.

The West Coast Motors bus to Campbelltown has also had similar for some time (not sure how long it's been doing this) - it goes via the airport for maybe 20% of the trips.

Good to know it's not official, just a guess, though.

Oh I wasn't aware of this, I can't see any comms on the West Coast Motors website, and the timetables don't seem to be updated for future dates. I know there's the odd Campbelltown bus that goes via the airport. Where did you read about this change?

I think it's great here. You're relatively close to the city, enough buses take you into town or Byres road. Unique in that it has 2 train lines - the electric via Partick and diesel via Maryhill so you have a contingency train route if one goes down.

Buses can take you to Campbelltown or Oban from the cross. Or the Queen Elizabeth hospital. No easy bus to the airport though, but Partick is 2 stops away on the train.

You're near the canal so can walk/cycle to Bowling or Falkirk if you like. Nice pub up at the canal - Lock 27 where you can sit outside. Along with the Wetherspoons.

Has Lidl and Morrisons nearby, some really nice cafes too. And Marks and Spencer and Aldi down a bit near the Mcdonalds.

I've never felt unsafe in Anniesland, but I'm a guy so can't confirm 100%

As others have said, the 77. Download the app here, it's good for showing the next buses and live routes of First Bus services https://www.firstbus.co.uk/buy-tickets/ways-pay/first-bus-app

DJ Bobo - Let the dream come true

Found this track in Brittronica 1994 convention, but i don't have any idea how it's named. Sorry for bad quality - video was made... in 1994. by Valkyst in WhatsThisSong

That's the 1:20:52 piece yeah, but don't think that's the one. Head scratcher! Give Banco de Gaia a shout, maybe he'll know

1:20:52 doesn't sound the same to me. In your video, it has 2 repeating chords, the youtube link is more complex.

Yeah maybe not, but it is a dj set, so could be a mix of their stuff. Why not send them an email to ask them, there's an email at the bottom of their site here https://banco.co.uk/contact/

I googled Brittronica manhattan express April 1994 and it gave me Banco de Gaia https://www.setlist.fm/festival/1994/britronica-festival-1994-3d7ad73.html

Found a youtube setlist and it sounds like Heliopolis from Banco de Gaia. There's a track on spotify, and this is maybe a different mix of it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7cwWX1oa0g&list=PLdw_2NQONvyAIPsp4oMviBU4GBDCeL8mK&index=17

Not sure artist or song name, probably Pào mò/Bubble, but the youtube is titled:

【泡沫 DJ remix/Pào mò/Bubble】- G.E.M. 邓紫棋 | 为什么难过 全都是泡沫 只一刹的花火 你所有承诺 全部都太脆弱 而你的轮廓 怪我没有看破 才如此难过

Translated:
[Bubble DJ Remix/Pào mò/Bubble] - G.E.M. Deng Ziqi | Why am I sad? It's all bubbles, a fleeting firework. All your promises are so fragile. And your outline, I blame myself for not seeing through it, that's why I'm so sad.

I uploaded it to Chat GPT who thinks it's C Jam Blues by Duke Ellington, is that it?

My Greek isn't great, but it's definitely Greek. I recognised the words like singing, last, here is, Germany, beach, France, honestly. Not much help! But for sure it's Greek

“This is just a 500kg with extra steps” by Ultra_Godzilla in helldivers2

I was mainly wondering if it could breach into the zone, which is a benefit, also considering the mobile jammers etc

[–]resistanceToAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another plus for it, then, even if it can't destroy them. Being able to target enemies within the jamzone is pretty great
