Tories being all Tory. With Grant Shapps involved, I imagine there was plenty of big brown envelopes involved too.

The toffs'll probably hunt them with dogs for clogging up the rivers tho, and they'll get cover from the local constabulary whilst they do it

There was a nice little segment on Simon Reeve in Cornwall about this (I think this article actually comes from) and the toffs seemed to be pretty pro-beaver as they do appear to bring all sorts of wild life back, giving the toffs other things to shoot at

Im not sure if it would be a problem here, but in the States they do destroy the dams because of failure and flood risk and beavers can undermine all kinds of infrastructure.

Why Do Beavers Build Dams?

Environmentalists agree that beaver dams help the environment by creating wetlands but why are some landowners and farm owners getting riled up? How could these dams be hazardous to roads, bridges and levees?

Oh real beavers

Would you convert it to sterling or keep the bit coin?

Would you convert it to sterling or keep the bit coin?

Depends. It's looking like institutional investors want to use it as a secure store - like a replacement for gold, rather than a cash alternative.

If in the future I'm able to settle debts directly with it then I'd keep the BTC. It's easier

So, is Battlefield V worth it?

I've a deep seated dislike of EA, so am loathe to give them any money. But it's about twenty quid on steam (with, assuming, all the DLC bundled).

I probably won't - but if it's *unmissable*...

Just get the monthly sub from them, play the games you want then bin it. That's what I did and cleared through the battlefield series, along with trying some of the others games, that were mostly shit.

No way am I going to sub for EA.

I'm balking paying them a fixed cost via the medium of Gabe, so actually giving them my bank account details?!

Sub for a month via steam and pay 10 bucks for a game you would otherwise pay 20 for

 

[Gwadien]

Edit - Someone genuinely posted this, this is also a person that believes in the Bill Gates stuff.

He could afford to give everyone on earth a free sub for Battlefield V though.

And still have cash left over!

It's £3.99 a month, pay £3.99 to play all EA games for a month, then cancel. Or a one off payment of £19.99 atm for a year.

FWIW, The single player on battlefield V is OK, its very pretty in some of the DLC, especially at 4k, but has largely no replay value and the online stuff is just pap.

They just announced no more updates for it didnt they?

i enjoyed it for a while. I dont seem to be able to get the call of duty :united offensive nostalgia hit from anything. I loved that game and the multiplayer community.

Big day for Ethereum today too (which has more than a little bit to do with Bitcoin's recent price rise).

Possibly the single biggest advancement in the blockchain space since Bitcoin arrived.

This 100% it's only £4 and if you do it through Steam you're dealing with them and not EA's bullshit.

Another guy cured from Aids. Sounds almost accidental. And certainly not something that can be rolled out to everyone.

Adam Castillejo, the "London Patient", is free of the virus more than 30 months after stopping treatment.

Get your stem cells out for the lads.

Anyone ever donated?

Blood, not stem cells. I understand stem cell donation is quite painful?

 

[Ormorof]

I'm registered to donate but have not donated yet

Give blood regularly though, i have the "common as muck" blood type for Finland so even though it means more donors also means its always in demand
