Morning B3TA. 10 weeks into training and have I finally managed to do a pull up? Spoiler: I haven't. I know brb will be cross but it's the beginning from the dead hang that feels nigh on impossible.

There's a quarry full of them that were just left just outside Hathersage.
They were mostly used in the Sheffield steel industry for grinding blades and knives. When the Sheffield Canal opened it became cheaper to import them from France that moving them the 10 or so miles to Sheffield

So sorry we’ve been away for so long, but our creative juices ran a bit low so we’ve been concentrating on taking pictures of otters and flying gliders. Anyway we’ve entered this song into the Spanish 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, I think Terry Wogan will be suitably proud

It took a lot of skill and smart work. Some people say the most important thing we did was opening a sheriff's office 248 years ago so he could just hand himself in but i think we're due a lot more credit than that and it was us what got him.

Bit weird to jump from someone highlighting news suppression to blaming the Jews, but you do you I suppose.

The last place you want to be is in a country where the criminals/government are the only ones who can get access to guns. Bring back 20 paces and there will be a lot less twats like the cunt that killed Charlie out there.

the thing I've always felt abou the UK is that there just aren't enough school shooting and gun-related murders. *rolls eyes*
Honestly, here in the UK we can't be trusted with flags and paint, let alone armour-piercing bullets and assault rifles.

( , Thu 11 Sep 2025, 10:44, Reply)

Dunblane was tragic, but should not have been an excuse to disarm the vast majority that are not total bellends. Maybe just arm the teachers for the time being until the year 6's have passed the glock proficiency test.

The only countries where (relatively) liberal gun laws were working were Switzerland and Austria, and Austria has recently just made a good example of why even historically 'safe' civilian gun ownership can go tits up.
There's no good reason at all for handing guns willy nilly to civilians in population centres. It's a different story if you live in the Alaskan/Canadian wilderness and run a genuine risk of coming face to face with a grumpy 42+ stone ursine, but giving your average garden-variety fuckwits guns to protect themselves from other average garden-variety fuckwits with guns is a fucking ridiculous justification for public firearm ownership.
Fuck me, the majority of these absolute hee-haws embellishing lamp posts and mini roundabouts with the St George's Cross would probably qualify for gun ownership if the UK adopted the American system.
What benefits do you see from arming the general population of the UK? Who are we protecting ourselves from? Do you honestly think that the relaxation of gun laws in the UK would result in fewer gun deaths? Or even a reduction in violent deaths in general?

They maybe majority bellends where you live, but I have a lot more faith in the people around me.
I don't have faith in any government, those spacktards ban ninja swords and want to remove the pointy bit from kitchen knives... like that's going to fucking solve anything.
Let them put up flags all they want if that's what floats their boats... the lefty twats have been putting up whatever flags they want for years without the councils having a meltdown. It would be a lot more fun to watch angry middle class guardian readers dodging bullets whilst up an arkwrights ladder trying to remove the type of flags they don't like.

with enough nukes to eliminate life on earth several times over, more conventional explosives, guided missiles and the satellites and software to guide them wherever they want. And you think a civilian with an assault rifle can defend themselves against a tyranny armed like that? The argument made some sort of sense in the 18th C but not foe over 150 years.

Sorry, it's an Instagram link.
SB Media on Instagram: "Jon Ross and Andy Kidd, engineers and artists from the UK, have developed a system that lets mushrooms and plants play music through bionic arms. John, the visionary behind Bionic and the Wires, combines art, technology, and environmental thinking to create custom bionic arms that enable plants and fungi to produce music and visual art, challenging traditional human-centered notions of creativity by empowering non-human lifeforms to express themselves. Complementing this, Andy, a skilled electronic musician and live performer, transforms bio-signals from nature into immersive soundscapes using synthesizers and digital tools, bridging the organic and technological realms. Together, their innovative collaboration pushes the boundaries of art and redefines who (or what) can be an artist. Their project merges biology, robotics, and creativity, turning natural bioelectric signals into expressive performances and here’s how they describe it: “We connect bionic arms to mushrooms and plants so they can play music and be creative. Our art explores new ways of thinking about the natural world. All life create bio-electrical signals. Our equipment converts these into signals that are used to control the arms. Recent research suggests that fungi and plants exhibit surprising levels of intelligence, including decision-making, learning, memory and the ability to respond to sound waves.” --- 💡 Learn More: Bionic and The Wires https://bionicandthewires.com/ [Sources] (🎞 @bionicandthewires) (🎼 Mushroom) (✍️ Description) 1.

A mate at uni did a similar thing with max/msp and some sensors looking at fish in a bowl. Someone seems to come up with a new take on this concept every couple of years or so.
It's kind of like a creative thing for a human to do, but not quite as creative as doing the thing they're trying to avoid (writing a fucking melody).
