Wrong Born Hunter, but I approve of this.

What has gone wrong it never used to be like this ?
Born Hunter replied to Arry's topic in General Talk
Like Stopend said, it'll already be priced in to the ticket cost. Adding a ridiculous number like £200 out of spite would simply ruin the bottom line and end the event. It's a filthy indictment of modern society nonetheless. -
Ukraine has launched a counteroffensive to retake Kherson in the south.

Bet the chinks have a ground up endangered animal to cure that!

Walt’s having a f***ing breakdown!

The first hand accounts of Africa tend to stress how completely out of touch western ideals are there. The concept of sustainability, ‘take two but leaving one’, is madness to them. Take everything because you don’t know if you’ll live long enough to see the one you left multiply! And as much as ‘poachers’ are the enemy of the day, in reality we could eliminate poachers and the wildlife would still be annihilated. The encroachment of civilisation is the biggest threat.
-
I reckon turn of the century would’ve been even better. When Africa truly was still the dark continent. But also unfortunately before any thought for sustainability had developed. Still, must’ve been incredible to see the richness and density of wildlife and human cultures. Before ‘civilisation’ was thrust upon the place.

Ironic that 'trophy' hunting fees support anti poaching efforts on more land in Africa than the tax funded national parks. Also ironic that the private ownership and right to sell hunting of southern white rhinos is what saved it from extinction. Absolutely staggering the shit that gets written on here.

Remarkably, no to that too. I'm the least techy nerd you'll ever meet. Any IT problems get pointed at an IT nerd. Any technical issues tend to result in me shouting at the laptop until someone with literally any amount of knowledge rushes over to tell me to unmute the mic or something equally as simple.

No, not a sausage. Very uneventful apparently. The amount of times I've been on a plane and heard the call "if you are a medical professional please make yourself known to the cabin crew, one of your fellow passengers is in need of assistance" has been a bit concerning though! All pre-vaccine FYI.

I like to glue pound coins to the pavement outside foodbanks for entertainment.

The Tory life’s good isn’t it! Try the windows down with the air con on for real toxic capitalism.

My point was though that an excess of that nutrient causes ecological damage. The fact it’s a nutrient doesn’t make it intrinsically good. Nature is about balance, tipping that balance causes a cascade. I’m not going to change anyones mind on climate science or climate politics, just like I wasn’t with vaccination etc. Such big science topics are pointless endeavours on here. They go round in circles. But much simpler topics can be more easily discussed.

My local 'big' gun shop used to be shit at actually getting back to you with inquiries and orders. In the end I stopped bothering. Recently though, I needed a part only dealers could order from GMK. After speaking to the shop and them promising to get back to me, I phoned GMK myself, spoke to a very helpful gent in the workshop, got the part number and checked how many were in stock. Phone my shop back up and gave them the deets. Week later they contacted me to tell them the part was in, restoring my faith in them a bit. Dunno if I'd have got the same result had I not done the leg work myself

I haven’t said different

So only essential nutrients are harmless? Shall we consider the impacts of unlimited fat consumption or the myriad of essential micronutrients? Mate, I’m not getting into such a big science based debate with you. Let’s focus on simple things like your implication that nutrients are nothing but good.
-
Sugar is a carb which is a macronutrient. If you’re going to deny it then we are literally talking different languages. Yes we are talking about CO2, which as you claim is a plant nutrient, just like nitrogen. Your premise that because it’s a nutrient it’s inherently good is flawed, hence why I used nitrogen as an example. If you don’t understand what the impact of high CO2 levels are then is there really any point continuing?
-
Just because something is a nutrient doesn't mean that it only does good and therefore the more the better. Nitrogen is a plant nutrient and look what unlimited quantities of that does to river systems. Sugar is a nutrient for us, a look what unlimited sugar intake does to us. Reducing CO2 won't stop plants growing. Reducing atmospheric CO2 to nothing would, but no one is suggesting we do that.

On a personal and selfish level I'm much more concerned with us as a species polluting and destroying nature than I am of carbon emissions.

Realistically the alternative the oil & gas is a small modular nuclear reactor in every city/county. Everything shipped by sea would need to be done so by a nuclear powered container ship (there's only one currently) and I can't think of any realistic alternative for aircraft other than biofuel or carbon capture (energy density of the fuel becomes very significant in this application and I don't think we should be putting reactors on 747s). Starting that nuclear revolution is as much of a non starter as ending the hydrocarbon one. The real workable solution to reducing carbon emissio

And if I was to support their chosen path of action (criminal damage) then by principal I would have to support the right to graffiti the cenotaph, for whatever political reason. Which I opposed in principal, as much as I was opposed to the political reason of those that did it. I get it, 'what works is right'. I'm just not sure I'm willing to throw away my principals quite that easily.
