You think NATO v Russia is going to require conscription?
Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK, and USA v Russia is going to require conscription?
Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think 966 million people v 145 million people is going to require conscription?
Or, sorry, let me rephrase that. You think a country that has been at war with its small neighbour for 10 years and is struggling v the largest military alliance in the world with the largest economies in the world would require conscription?
I've been a bit of a dick here to get my point across but making excuses for the tories bringing back conscription is also a bit dickish.
If you want to sign up, go for it. If there comes a point where it's required, I'm a relatively young fit man so would consider signing up too. But only when there's a need for it. There is no need yet.
Plus, if we're going for WW3, we're all gonna die in the nuclear blasts before we even get a chance to put boots on the ground anyway.
Let the people who installed/created it maintain it or let a bunch of new folk do it, which is likely to work best?
The abroad part isn't the issue. We're a global village with the Internet now, after all. It's the outsourcing part that's the issue.
Am I reading correctly? Are you saying you cook pancakes in your rice cooker?
How do you do that?
NHS Dumfries of Galloway has confirmed some children’s mental health records have been published by criminals following a cyber attack.
Can't even get the first line of their story correct. Dumfries AND Galloway
They've done a lot of exploration, though. I worked on some of the kit that went there. It came back pretty beat up, so it's rough out there, but there's plenty of oil.
New oil extractions were halted in the North Sea for a while, not extracting it doesn't mean much. It just means it's not been deemed profitable enough yet.
What was the Creek incident? Google hasn't really helped
To be fair, what do you expect people to talk about?
5-12 comments covers most topics for a given article/meme. Any more than that, and it starts to just become a repeat of what someone else said.
Do you want to read 10 copies of "lol that meme is so me!"
I always thought it was wild that your average thread on Reddit could garner thousands upon thousands of comments, with the vast majority of them being repeats of something someone already said.
Then factor in that those same comments are in the next thread, and the next one. That's not engagement, that's insane!
The comments here are far more sparse, but they still cover all your bases. You still get the interesting info dump from some expert or hyperfocused individual who's done a bunch of reading, you still get a humorous pun or joke, and you still get the "well, actually, this is wrong because..." just, now, it's like 1 of each type instead of a thousand people all trying to crack the same joke in one thread.
Edit: to clarify, I mean 5-12 top level comments
DuckDuckGo is ultimately just Bing though, which is what MrMakabar is complaining about
