Is there a lot of these being stolen from cars in the UK?
Seems to be an epidemic of it here.

Yup, I had a flyer through the door from a guy that will weld a cage around them or something. The free rag has been banging the drum of caution for months.

The whole notion of your own personal carbon footprint is fossil fuel propaganda - literally!

The first carbon footprint calculator was developed and popularised by BP in a $250 million campaign. Why? To individualise the problem, and let big polluters off the hook.

Individual responsibility is all good, cutting down personal air travel etc, but let's not forget those that provide the products that created the problem in the first place. They need to be held accountable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not surprised someone like her came out with this. It’s always a systemic problem that needs to be changed rather than individual responsibility.

If people stopped getting on planes, there would be less flights and so on...the market will determine it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're right, of course the fossil fuel industry didn't know the impact of its products, neither did big tobacco, neither did big pharma. It's nothing to do with systemic capitalist pigdog behaviour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m getting an electric car so I’m alright yeah?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've no idea the relevance of your question.

Just messing about is all. Down boy

Still none the wiser, hey-ho.

Alcohol sales in Canada are up 30%+ since a year ago.
Weed only 8%.
Don't really know what that means, except that dipsomaniacs may be more needy than normal weed smoking folk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know if weed smoking increased after being legalised or not?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Went up slightly overall the first year. 15%-17%. Stayed the same in 18-24 year olds. Dropped amongst teens.
I'd think the overall increase would be down to previous surveys being done during prohibition and people not admitting use.
Good that it's down in teens.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In that case I’d support legislation if it were similar numbers here.

Just looked it up. 20,000 stolen in London in 2020. Up from 9500 in 2019.
You guys have the same problem.
A grinder cuts the pipes and bracket in as little as 30 seconds. Couple of grand worth if "scrap".

I also don't see the argument that smoking is comparable to a thousands of years staple of human consumption like meat. To me it is as dubious as pretending weed consumption is equal to alcohol consumption.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have obviously not seen serious alcoholics.
Liver, kidney,brain/mental, problems. Basically attacks all organs in the body. Weed is nowhere near as dangerous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not been said for a while.

Tbab, some of that catholic stuff is creepy.

Oh, I saw a show about Flannery O'Connor (southern female writer post-war era)
In a film clip from a movie based on one of her books a door to door preacher shows up at a Southern woman's door asking if she wants to join the Church of No Jesus.
She asks the preacher "Is it Protestant or foreign?"
Showed a Klan poster from 20s. They were against:
K rhymes with loons
K rhymes with yikes
K rhymes with atholic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Laugh or cry, man.

Sorry, 2-6K US. To replace. Thieves get 50-150$ recyclers then remove palladium, rhodium, platinum and cobalt. Rhodium is nearly 26K an ounce.
Must take a few to get the weight tho.

Remove the demand and the plastic doesn’t get made, the planes don’t fly, and the cows aren’t reared.

Demand can’t be removed, only evolved. Innovation is a far more plausible pathway than returning to the Bronze Age.

Semantics? How about cigarettes?

Locked the fack down, tbab.

Weather is beautiful and the (empty) beaches are open again though, so can swim, surf and sunbathe again.

Café esplanadas, museums, galleries and libraries are opening now, but retail is limited. Bars and restaurants are a mile off realistically.

We’ve seen cases rise since the schools reopened (confirmed to be transmission between kids), so there’s a big discussion about that here at the moment.

Vaccination is crawling along at snail’s pace, so we aren’t going to be seeing a big opening up very soon.

Politicians are shouting at each other about whether we should be accepting foreign tourists before at least the at-risk are fully vaccinated. Which is a country mile off.

Day after having the AZ jab, I'm right as rain

Was really tired last night, and got the shivers for an hour or two, (couldn't keep warm). But other than that was fine.
