Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think (for example) Afrikaners in South Africa would not be impressed with this description (just another reason that 'white' != 'English' ) 100
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The fact that armed police were there ten minutes after the call really is a Big Hint that something was in the offing! 020
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Closer to the people accessing them so lower latency. A very niche thing to be willing to pay serious money for, but apparently the City are the ones who will pay for that data centre in Shoreditch for example. 010
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also I think my actual number is 5, and should be 6 (Au Service du France was robbed!) 110

Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 15/09/2026All cyclists have to do (and I am one) to be treated as a pedestrian is to get off and push the bike! 020
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It's hard to say it's a trend based on only my own observations, but the number of people I've noticed recently - pedestrians, cyclists and drivers - who appear not to pay the slightest attention to anything or anyone is huge 020
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Into The Woods never particularly connected with me, but even so Sondheim is obviously one of the greats. 021
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think the CRB check could certainly have been waived, but her other points about untrained people not actually being that useful in the near future are correct. 040
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I think unfortunately a lot of fitness continues to suck unless you get quite fit - I've only started to enjoy running/cycling at all now that I can comfortably do 10k (run) because now I can go a little further afield and see new places. Doing the same couple of miles locally forever would be crap. 000
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 24/08/2026People have got so good* at reading subtext that they've lost the ability to read text 020
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 21/08/2026"is crime worse" isn't the same question as "are more crimes committed now"! 000
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This IMO is the root of people's perceptions that crime is worse. 50 crimes a month but only 10 of them are dealt with obviously feels worse than 100 crimes a month but 90 are dealt with. 100

Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I don't think it's a coincidence that we keep ending up with sub-Cabinets that do all the actual decision, whether that's the War Cabinets or the Coalition govt Quad. 020
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 17/07/2026No, in a world where communications between London and India take months to travel each way it is simply impossible to closely manage goings on in India from London 010
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The alternate timeline where they play the whole game like the first 20 minutes ends with an England win (and at least one Argentinian red card)! 080
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The funny thing is that they *did* get away with a lot of dirty play, it's just that they beat us by stopping doing that and actually playing some football in the second half! 1130

Reposted by WalrusJWexTheSpa @jwsidders.bsky.social · 26/06/2026This is what political bravery can achieve. Thousands of lives saved, tens of thousands of hospital beds not occupied, countless days off work not taken. Sadiq Khan stood up to the critics, the doubters and the bad faith experts and made London better. A true leader. 36926
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 26/06/2026That's reasonable also, although I would argue that the soldiers have had a de facto amnesty until now by virtue of governments just not prosecuting them. 100
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The other - IMO stronger - argument is that we decided as a society to forgive a lot of frankly unforgivable stuff on both sides in the name of peace, and to take that away will reopen old wounds. 100

Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Wind generation is more expensive than solar, sure, but the alternative that's available to us isn't solar - it's more fossil fuels, and the latter look like an increasingly bad bet even if you're just comparing costs 080

Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 22/06/2026The fun thing about the Andrew Gordon take is that if he genuninely did try and foster some independent-mindedness among his officers (an idea which I am sympathetic to) he manifestly didn't do a good job of it! 220
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 17/06/2026It would depend to an extent on whether the large vessel is in one of the Traffic Separation Schemes; 20 miles south of the IoW they definitely aren't in one. In any case no justification for failing to use radio or flu the appropriate flags 0120
Walrus @walrusgames.bsky.social · 15/06/2026They're definitely cheaper for a reason though! My Cathcart suit came with absolutely fucked up shoulders which they wouldn't fix because they claimed it was entirely me giving them the wrong measurements. 130
