This is why tackle height has changed. I literally bumped into him in a post match Edinburgh function with my wife, who speaks excellent french, was struck dumb by the encounter and I still wind her up about it. He was phenomenal, this is rather tragic

 

Late, sorry. Fit like folks?

It is on a scale unlike other places I suspect in Edinburgh University. You only have to glance at the faculty to see that locals from Edinburgh are a very much a minority, and Scotland in general is pretty small. Which mean that biases do creep in. And as much as I love Danny Boyle and Irvine Welsh, they have done a fair bit of harm to the appearance of the Scottish accent unlike a Welsh or Newcastle accent.

Cars have gotten bigger and safer. Sure, the engine is heavy but it isn't massive battery packs causing that. A naturally aspirated V10 is a dinosaur, I've no interest in dead end tech. We must keep at least the kinetic recovery and electric turbos imo. Lithium is light even, lets make that part a monster

 

Good to see Edinburgh trying to change. I do suspect that unless it sees more Scottish accents in staff and intake that it won't change much. But it's a good move

Just don't mention the black hole

As a big fan of the film, here's hoping

 

Given the hard faught and long fraught nature of this case: to see it come to a conclusion is something of surprise. The winners would be wise to keep their celebrations to a minimum, Scotland could do with some healing over this matter

Any surfers think they could actually surf on these?

Changing very quickly already, new music venue due even!

 

Pretty cool to see robots doing this. Dounreay not doing the nuclear industry and favours though with no-go areas

Statistics say it is good news. Not every tackle is better, but on the whole it is getting better

 

Finally some good news on concussions

Any idea where we should be building in Edinburgh then?

It's per year. And capped at 6, but inflation +1% is usually less

Great to see scientists celebrated. We've so many statues in Edinburgh to 19C politicians, nobody knows who even half of them are. But 100 years from now and Fleming will still be celebrated

 

About bloody time. Some good news for Edinburgh renters

 

Lib-dems: officially just Tory-lite. I do think this shows the UK parties are veering more rightword and the overton window seems to be shifting with it. And MSPs don't have to shift with it

I must be weird: they are all standard to me :)

I've no time for discord channels, but have fun, and I'd love some misfit content for the lemmy community too

 

Our world is burning. Stay safe peoples, and be responsible in your consumption

Wow, he's done so much in and out of government. Why lose it all to be a nonce?

This is really bad. Like really bad. I would not be surprised to hear Starmer send in the SAS to extract kinda bad. Refusing entry is one thing. Detaining is heinous on a diplomatic visa. I only hope they are on a plane this morning

 

Well, what a riot in Manhattan tonight, enjoy New Yorkers

 

Bloody baltic here in Goldenacre today. But a cracking game of speed vs strength with Heriots the bulkier team losing 0-12 at the break

 

Hullo peeps, how are we this week? Plans, rants, hopes all welcome on this fine Friday night
