Guiness Zero is my go to for a sipping beer when I'm actually in a pub. I like a pine needles and lemon IPA when it's very cold but they get a bit much when you're having a few over a long evening.

No, you're poisoning any research into an endangered language. Do we have to remind everyone of the Scots Wikipedia fiasco?

I have not heard of the Scots Wikipedia fiasco.

Heads up, imgur is bust in the UK because their compliance people took the huff.

This was the stated intention with Samsung DeX - and it almost works but there are just enough pain points in day-to-day use to make it unviable for me, and a thin&light laptop is almost always the better solution, and easier than carrying around a mouse, keyboard and docking station and hoping whatever desk I'm working at has a display on it.

Yup, sitting here on a work-issued laptop that's locked down tighter than a walnut - I couldn't install chrome if I wanted to, and yet every time I have to actually go to google for something I get the "would you like to install chrome" begging.

That's addressed in the article? The claim made is that this is more a way of middle-income market-trading fishermen increasing their catch and profit. Those at the bottom can't afford the necessary explosives.

Yeah, why go through all of the effort to blame this on colonialism? Maybe these people just suck and don't care/don't know any better. We can't make everything a problem of colonialism.

They feel superior to those “lesser” humans, when denying them equal intelligence, agency, and morality.

They’re just getting off on being racist to the “savages who don’t know better”.

that's an uncited claim framed as a guess, not confirmation or even a more educated guess by people performing actual ethnographies and larger demographic analysis. pair it against both the fact that these bombs are easy to make (plastic bottle + explosive) and the stronger kinship ties of families and villages, it's not impossible to imagine groups pooling money to purchase fertilizer on the gray market

you'd have to imagine that higher earners would easily be able to navigate out to deeper waters with better boats whereas lower income would stay in shallower waters which is noted as largely where this is happening

Pls use an image host that I can view without having to turn on my VPN - signed, a brit.

It's an interesting idea but these things have never taken off in the past. I'm speaking from a UK-centric position here, but there's a pretty strong ethos that guidebook creators should get paid for the work that they do and there's also a responsibility attached to a professional guidebook that doesn't exist on a crowdsourced platform. UKC can only take you so far, and 25 quid for a copy of whatever SMC book you need is hardly onerous. Any donut can add "Shit Chosspile E8 6C **" to the UKC database but if it's in the SMC book it's probably worth having a look at.

You mean to say you don't want to climb such classics as "Twatfield Thunderminge" (https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/brimham_rocks-538/t...). /s

The BBC's "impartiality" is frequently it's biggest downfall - It's a very standard UK joke that if the BBC was discussing if the earth was flat you'd get a 5 minute interview with a top geographer or physicist from Cambridge followed by an equally credulous 5 minute interview with a madman in his basement claiming it's all the work of the lizard people.

The covererage of the Genocide in Palestine (and I'm betraying my view just by calling it that) just brings this into incredibly sharp relief as there are, to a first approximation, no real centrists in that discussion. And yet you still get the same 5 minutes of interview for a doctor on the ground in Palestine and for Ben Gvir, presented as if there's some kind of happy middle ground that everyone can broadly agree on.
