- Comment on Nigel Farage Helps to Launch U.S. Climate Denial Group in UK 2 weeks ago:
I’m in no way suggesting anything, nor encouraging or endorsing any particular course of action, but I do note that when things are securely tied to or wrapped in a heavy object with negative buoyancy, they do sink rather fast to the bottom of the sea and stay there. Examples of such things include battleship chains and concrete boots.

I did not have this particular one in my “Nigel does or says stupid shit” bingo card.

Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats ™ in weeks.

- Comment on Ulez expansion led to significant drop in air pollutants in London, report finds 5 months ago:
Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.
- Comment on Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight 7 months ago:
This could be useful: www.swpc.noaa.gov/…/aurora-30-minute-forecast Also, if you ever get the opportunity, go see the northern lights inside the arctic circle. Full colours across the sky is something else. It’ll be winter time for obvious reasons, and therefore typically cold as fuck, but definitely worth it.
- Comment on People with depression or anxiety could lose sickness benefits, says UK minister 8 months ago:
I give the Tories this: they leave nobody under false impressions about what they stand for. Keep the ground rent racket going, homelessness must be a crime, being sick is no reason to skip work, mental health issues are just life’s normal ups and downs, ad infinitum. Quite charming, aren’t they.

- Comment on Sauna renovation done! 1 year ago:
I built the sauna originally in 2002 from a log cabin kit I bought from a factory in Finland and had shipped to the UK. Since then it’s been in regular, more or less, weekly use, and we’ve only needed to do basic maintenance. This was the first time we did a thorough renovation, so we should be good for the next 20+ years

- Comment on Apple warns iMessage and FaceTime could be withdrawn in UK over law change 1 year ago:
I’m deeply annoyed when somebody calls me on FaceTime. Go away! I can just about bring myself to answering a call from people in my contacts, sometimes. Or perhaps I’m just turning into a recluse.
