No denying that we have had the warmest year in a tiny period of time.

1 degree in nearly 150 years...steady now.

We were under thick, year round ice 11k years ago...fuck all time in the Greater scheme of things.

I told a few colleagues at work that everything they see around them will be wiped clean by a sheet of ice in the not too distant future. They looked genuinely anxious.

Yes, I'm fun at parties.

Up to 2.5 miles deep. It does actually boggle the mind to think about the idea that where you'd normally jump out of a plane for a parachute jump, 30,000 years ago you'd be able to walk around...

Allow me to bore you shitless with this image I saw on Twitter a few weeks ago (along the same lines):

Those are sand ripples from an old sea bed on top of a hill in Wales. The whole geological shift / uplift astounds me.

It was also warmer 2000 years ago, took a big dip in the dark ages (for whatever reason, volcanic activity, comet impact, nobody really knows) and has been slowly rising again ever since.

But lets pin everything on 150 years of data.

It's not really the change that's important. It's the pace of change that causes the problems.

I remember reading it and seeing a graph someone made about the Earth during non-ice ages, and when there was an ice age.

Something like we're speeding up the process to make a ice age where there's no life left.

There's an alternate reality where Al Gore was elected as president.

He did nothing about the climate, because he's only president.

Long term adjustment to a very, very temporary human footprint.

Sadly for the activists, there is no human footprint in the Climate Data - at all. All we have, is some very fudged data and computer models which only look at a very small part of a complex and chaotic system, and are the very definition of GIGO.

It's been widely understood for some time now, that the dataset that such horrible predictions are based upon, has been so commonly tampered with as to make it utterly useless from a scientific point of view. A retired German Geologist, recently went through the various different datasets provided over the years, and the trend was clear - the past has been adjusted down, and the present adjusted up. Yet, if you look at the satellite data - which by it's definition doesn't need adjusting, there has been no change for 19 years now, and counting.

Sadly though, climate change is now such a massive industry ($1.5 trillion a year - much contributed by so called Big Oil), getting them to actually admit that could be tricky.

For those of an open mind, have a read of the below lecture given by Dr Patrick Moore - one of the chaps credited with founding GreenPeace.

Anyone used MusicBrainz Picard to bulk re-tag and organise their music collection?

Got about 100Gb of music in reasonably haphazard state and I just want to queue it up and go. But do I trust it? @TdC? Anyone? Or should I just go with Mp3tag?

I've used it. It was reasonably handy but I didn't like it. Atm I use...uh....MusicBee or something that lets me edit tags 'in place'.

Speaking of Picard, there's a food-store called Picard, from France i believe, which only deals with frozen food, anyone tried it?

It does all seem very "repent, repent, the End is Nigh" etc doesn't it....

So yeah, despite @caLLous's facepalm snipe, it is a French version of Iceland, selling crappy cheapo frozen food and frozen food only, £2.50 or so for a couple of large puddings

...so...

Bit like Iceland in the UK I imagine.

Horrible food.

If you can't see what was wrong with your previous post then you're even more of a spacker than I previously imagined (which is saying something).

You said their food was horrible without actually knowing anything about them other than that they are in the same sector as a company you might or might not actually know something about. You sound like an absolute snob sometimes (see your very next post for Exhibit A) so it remains to be seen if you have ever actually set foot in an Iceland or not) but I can assure you that Picard are a clear step up. Don't let that get in the way of the boring drivel you keep coming out with.

We have never used Iceland until this year, my nan wanted ready meals because she is struggling to cook now. Anyway, it's great. The potatoes are the freshest we have ever had and so is the bread (what the fuck is wrong with bread nowadays?). They also do blueberry cornetto things and I will fight any man who slags them off :eek:

It is a bit full of fat tramps though :(

You should try Wiltshire Farm Foods for her. They deliver "Nan" meals to the door, good variety and all microwave cooked. We know lots of people who use them.

What does your Mrs actually do by the way? - A carer?

I am a snob as far as food is concerned, no shame in that. There is zero reason for shopping at Iceland unless you are lazy. 20 sausages for £1 (or whatever) they aren't exactly going to be any good, area they?

I know being single all your life probably means your let you standards slide in certain areas, food and nutrition should not be one of them.

Funny you should say that chum, nan has had her first meals on wheels today to try but I know how it is going to go so we will 100% investigate the company you suggested for yoursel.....erm older people you know.

I am a snob as far as food is concerned, no shame in that.

Like my wife, she is uber snob with food and I see nothing wrong with it at all. I am a snob with other stuff, I dunno like cars. I wouldn't have a Kia but she would and she uses only the finest things to cook with where I don't give a fuck. She hates Iceland with a passion but let's be honest here, Tesco, Waitrose and all of the others are really shit quality recently and are getting their arses kicked not just because of cheaper prices elsewhere but because Iceland, Lidl, Aldi offer better quality, fresher stuff than them. Having said that you cannot beat your local butcher for meat or bakery for bread.

Edit - If the so-called lesser stores start delivering then Tesco and the others are fucked.

Yes, self employed. She looks after people that can afford private care in their own homes. Means that they don't have to go into a home as soon as they would otherwise. She is very lucky because for her it really is a vocation.
