> every single political party in the UK is either for this law The SNP motioned to have it repealed, they are still, sadly, a party in the UK.

A funny quirk of the UK train system is that if you know what you are doing you can get first class upgrade for I think it was £5 on some of the major routes like Edinburgh to Lond…

Noone realises that because it is clearly not true. There is a huge difference in how hard it is to look at map and figure out where you are with a compass than it is to look and a…

I wasn't talking about how to orient a map, I was speaking about traversing mountains where being metres off route is potentially fatal with little to no visibility. Saying that is…

Yeh I often go solo and after a few experiences, particularly if its unfamiliar, I try to make sure to have a charged backup device with routes etc loaded. Similiarly I am not argu…

Specifically for Munros which is what I do network coverage can be pretty bad and at least a few people I have talked to have done the same as me and got caught out depending on th…

> First of all, I wonder how many people actually have suitable backup devices. Virtually every group of people will have multiple backup devices, for people going solo it somethin…

I spend a lot of time outdoors / hillwalking / mountain climbing in Scotland and it is quite fustrating and in my opinion quite dangerous how technophobic the standard advice given…

Things on Wikipedia (ie not every single street or canal)

Because some people regard attempting to literally quantify the value of someones life into a dollar amount to be a "problem"

This SDK only works on the top end Fuji's, the cheapest one supported starts at £850 (body only) Fuji has famously terrible app support, its a nightmare to set up and cuts out cons…

Emily Oyster wrote good books about how a lot of the popular claims around giving birth / raising children have quite a severe lack of data that supports those claims. For breastfe…

I have never not been confused when logging into matrix, I signed up clicking a link at work, now if I want to use an app it asks for some server name that has nothing to do with t…

This is a curiously timed article from the BBC, an outlet generally opposed to Scottish independence given the pro indy SNP and Scottish Greens are currently negotiating a coalitio…

I am familiar with Nolans article, I created PouchDB (the project he is discussing), you seem to have misred the post as it discusses the technical nuance and tradeoffs involved in…

The excuse was that a standard needs to have multiple implementations otherwise we are standardising implementation details and bugs. Hindsight shows that was entirely correct, as …

Unless I misunderstood your point, that is a strange take that isn't close to being true. There is a large overlap of Scottish language enthusiasts who are advocates of both Scots …

Describing Scots as a dialect of English is really about a political affiliation than any interest in linguistics, Plenty of people regard Scots as a distinct language. (Scottish F…
