A really informative concise post, shame it can't rise to the top.

This is 2020 and while in the past attitudeX or behaviourY might have been acceptable we have now come to understand (through Social Science Studies or NY Times bestseller that a particular academic has written) that both are wrong, tox

If it's not causing pollution from leaks or whatever and it's effectively worn out then you could view it as being as good a place as any to store something that someone could later salvage for its scrap value. I remember someone

Deduct from the cost the price they'd have had to pay for valuable land by going over-ground, maybe? I mean there's a reason the London Underground is underground.

It's much cooler that Dunkirk should hold this distinction, isn't it, so can we agree please that these rather undistinguished places in Canada don't count? Anyway Dunkirk is a proper town/city (91K people, interesting h

I don't know if this is off-topic or not. More times than I care to admit I've lost hours of coding due to crashing without saving first. Without exception when I redo the lost code it's far better designed than the original

Well that would be a turn up for the books because one of the often mentioned bad consequences of global warming is a loss of the North Atlantic Drift (gulf stream) from Europe and us ending up with a climate similar to what the same latitu

That's a really good one (I googled the answer), never would have expected it.

There's also the odd fact that the lands to the east and the west of Greenland aren't ice covered while Greenland is (Google maps satellite view).

Interesting but I'm not sure I'm buying it ;-) Radisson is a small unconstituted locality so whether it qualifies as a town is questionable. It also has a population small enough to fit in two or three buses.

Or that the most northerly French-speaking town in the world is Dunkirk in France and not somewhere in Quebec.

Yes, it sure is, took me a while to get it. I don't have any paradoxes but here are my two favourite surprising facts. 1: NY city on the East coast of N. America lies further west than Santiago the capital of Chile on the West coast

Demonising your enemies as racists or fascists, ie nazis and employing mob tactics to "no platform" them or otherwise shut them up as in "no free speech for racists", strike me as exactly the sort of tactics the real fas

Quite a lot of innuendo in there. The person I responded to suggested that Britain only welcomed immigrants to help it because it was "on its back economically". I suppose that all would have been fine if, at worst, Britain was ra

The caste system is the division of Hindu society into groups based on rank, wealth and/or occupation. Everyone must be a part of the lowest caste (Shudra) in at least one life. One will move through the caste system through reincarna

Say you said using Wonderhair would prevent baldness and I said that there was no evidence for that and that in fact in the cases that I know of the people now have less hair than they had when they started using Wonderhair . Do I then h

You're trying to put words in my mouth. You're the one who was making claims.

1960 Britain had the 4th largest economy in the world. 2015 it has the 5th largest economy in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_largest_h... The United Kingdom represented 6.42% of the wor

I don't have a vendetta against India, that's way OTT sensitivity on your part. And if you're going to accuse me of having a simplistic view of India then I'll respond to you by saying your comments on Britain are risibl

What are your country's policies around the issuing of passports? As for immigrants building the country up, for what it's worth, Britain is probably lower in the world rankings in terms of wealth per capita than it was before lar

Which native communities would those be? Your comment does not sound like that of someone overly familiar with the UK. Nativist for example is not a term used in the UK.
