Do we know how many and from what countries? Cant find it in the article
Stunning views and stunning bike!
I'm not saying there is no racism or bigotry in Scotland. Unfortunately it's everywhere. Just on a lot smaller scale in Scotland.
I don't think that seeing less people of colour on daily basis is the main factor here. As you mentioned, the inequality and years of conditioning is what triggered this sheepish response to protest against immigration. Let's not forget it all started with a lie that the man behind the awful crime was an extremist Muslim terrorist.
Embarrassing.
I believe (and I'm not Scottish) that Scotland IS exceptional. I have not lived in every country in the world, Europe on even UK but the people are just genuinely nice and welcoming. Racism and bigotry has no footing here. Obviously there are exceptions to that rule, but the general public in places like Glasgow clearly showed what they think of this kind of behaviour. Respect.
It's been for many years that gen-pop of England have been conditioned by the BBC and politics to quickly jump the gun the go to racism for answers.
The main problem is that they (they I mean people that went to protest against immigrants) believe that they fighting the right cause, even though what triggered their response, was a big fucking lie.
This. Its not just one sentence. The whole article is off but this particular claim is just outright stupid.
Classic BBC opinion manipulating bs. Some "expert" in the articles even says that the lack of "far right racist extremism" is because the weather is shite in Scotland
What a beauty. I have a CBF125 I'm going to mod. Maybe something like thjs
Thanks for the warning. I will speak to decadentrebel who started this community (and only asked me to moderate it) to see if the suggestions are worth adding to the rule bar.
Unfortunately I'm on an instance that doesn't support downvotes, so I can't even see those
I really don't under your stand point here. I'm not targeting you either. I asked (!) another user Boozilla who has been active recently to update his posts to include a little synopsis of the article linked in their posts. They DMed me back saying "Done!" - no drama. It's honestly just to keep this community clean and have some sort of continuity between posts. It's easier when you scroll down the feed and you can see the title of the article as well as a short synopsis to catch your attention before you commit to reading the whole article. There is no rules, there is no commands, no one is telling anybody off - I just politely asked you. I hope you understand my motives - honestly there is no hostility intended.
Please add a short synopsis in the posts title to hint what the article is about
Please add the article's title to your post title to keep consistent form across all the post "Dendrocnide moroides"
Otherwise really interesting!
On my check-out list this spooky season!
Your contribution to the community are valued. All I ask for this post's title to be a bit tidier and in line with the rest of the posts to keep this community consistent.
An Older Everyday Car UK
Hi guys, I recently took a trip to Italy to see my friend who purchased a 1997 Mercedes about a year ago, which is extremely comfortable and pretty reliable - he swears by it. We got into a chat about advantages, reliability and comfort of the older over newer cars and he got me kinda excited to get into classic motoring. I currently have a 2017 Honda Civic for which I pay a pretty penny every month (its a lease) and my contract runs out in two years. I started looking around for a classic alternative I could maybe get outright cash in hand or with a little help from a financing company. I see a lot of Jaguars XF and X-Type on the streets of UK, I looked them up on autotrader and they can go for anything from about 2k to 10k depending on the milage etc. - still about 5k less than price sticker of my Civic. So here is the question - is it worth looking into? What models/makes I could look into? What should I be aware of? Any tips? Tricks? I’m looking to expand my family in the coming years so a 3 doors sports car are out of the question :) Thanks

Comm System Advice
Hi guys I just bought an HJC I71 helmet and because its a bit tighter fit then my previous helmet, I wont be able to use my IsoTune earphones anymore. I looked into getting a comm system for this purpose and a guy at my local shop recommended Cardo. Im split between Freecom 2x or going down the integrated route with HJC 21b. Can you recommend any of these or advise against? Thanks
First Big Bike
Hi all
Im happy to report that I recently passed my full motorcycle license. Ive been riding for a good couple of years on my 125 and im itching really hard to buy my first big bike.
Found this Suzuki Bandit very local to me and I was wondering if maybe somebody could advise.
Im having second thoughts because its a big engine and because its pretty old.
I was thinking about trying to get this bike down to 2000
Thanks in advance
Sea of Thieves is coming to PS5 this April
It's true! We're welcoming a whole new community to the pirate way of life this April…
Switch version was also announced in Nintendo Direct. Mod, can you update the community description please?
Can somebody explain the game loop to me?
Hi all
I recently picked this game up with three of my pals and we are enjoying the little voyages so far. Looking for the burried treasure, fighting off some skeletons and even some sea warfare (only fougt PVE so far).
I was just wondering, is this it? There is no weapon/character progression apart from the skins from what I can tell. We have not seen a single player run ship out in the sea (saw some twice in a port) so we are wondering is this just a very repetitive PVE? Can't be since this game is going strong since 2018
Thanks

P.S. I play on the High Seas
Something like Type R
Hi all I currently have a Honda Civic 2017 (a regular one) but I always wanted a Type R. Looking at used cars market in my country, they are a bit out of my reach at the moment :D Could you recommend any other Japanese cars, that could scratch that itch but not destroy my wallet? Have to be family friendly too as I expect kids :D Cheers
Power supply for this little fella
Hi all,
I bought a Sinclair ZX81 on a garage sale some days ago for around 12 USD as a non-tested item as the guy said he had no wires to even try and run it. I have a couple of RF cable kicking about from my Atari 2600 and ZX Spectrum, so I have this basis covered.
According to the manual LINK it takes 9V 700mA unregulated (I'm not sure what it means) 3.7mm jack power supply. I have a 9V DC 1A jack power supply I bought for the Atari (it's not an original one - a unbranded one) and I tried to use it, but to no success. Manual tuning my TV same as with Spectrum and Atari, and no signal.
I was wondering if maybe the power supply is not up to spec? I was thinking that maybe 1mA is too much to power it up? But I went online to look for an unbranded ZX81 power supply and they are running 2A so I'm not sure what's going on here.
Is it busted? Or should I get one of those unbranded power supplies that say they are made for ZX81 to test it?
Thanks :)
FOSS 20 20 20 App

Disco Elysium - Switch or Xbox/PS5
As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.
What kind of HDD USB converter do I need
Hi troops, I'm trying to get photos files from my dad's old HDDs. We no longer have access to any old PCs to acutally plug them in, so I was wondering if you could point me to some sort of USB converter that would allow me to grab files from them. My cousin has a PC but it's a newer model with more up to date connection to HDD/SSD. Disks in question:
Many thanks! D

Started my own shop with Scottish mugs
Couple of weeks ago I finally launched the store, I was working on for a couple of months now. From building the website and production to marketing and accounting, I had to do it all on my own. I actually started working on it during covid but never had time to finish it until recently. I hope you like it :)
