That's what I'm saying

It's better to not even half-way seed a torrent with low availability than it is to seed one that everyone else is seeding, regardless of how high your ratio goes - it's a point on how pointless it really is to waste your resources seeding something like that

Seeding shouldn't be done on ratios - being the only one seeding 10 seasons of a tv show and getting it to 0.4:1 is way more helpful than seeding the same movie as everyone else and getting to 20:1, you're noy contributing anything there other than decreasing your bandwidth for things that aren't already at 100,000% availability

if you're British, maps.nls.uk is fascinating for seeing places evolve over time

According to the lineups he was playing at right wing-back so I guess given there's a right back and right mid or wing it somewhat makes sense

Cronyism is a symptom of any (not even the) class system, not capitalism. Those with power (ie those charged with administration/lawmaking under communism, those in power/with sufficient capital under capitalism) abuse their power to give more power to their friends and those like them. The only cure is openness and transparency in book-keeping and policy-making, but that's not an economic ideology but a political one.

It wasn't, however the association with Great Britain is undeniable, especially when Lesser Britain doesn't even refer to Ireland any more (in Roman times it did), but Brittany, however "British Isles" was in use by the Greeks (at least Prettanic Isles) before even that - well before the union of England and Scotland, never mind Ireland's conquest.

Personally I'm happy with Atlantic Isles/Islands/Archipelago as I agree the term isn't great due to the implicit association, but it's not like it was something just made up by colonists.

It does, especially given the name predates the country by 2-3 thousand years; it's not exactly optimal but in reality "These Islands" is the only alternative and something is needed to refer to them from outside the islands.

Dependant on location of course

Do your research - if you have native small cats and few large predators (ie Europe, North Africa) it's probably fine. If you don't (ie Australia, America) then it's definitely not

I'm saying that the government led organisation will have had a negligible impact compared to regular people, therefore the levels of organisation (ie people publicly saying "I'm going to vote for x/y to show my support" and other people seeing that and thinking it's a good idea) aren't that big of a deal.

Also I think it'd be incredibly shocking if the EBU or at least individual broadcasters don't already have requirements for tackling vote manipulation from suspicious/newly registered phones and especially voip services so a state organised campaign would have even less of an impact

I also see your source on the organisation is twitter (and I can't even find the tweets there), so I'm inclined to doubt it's true given nobody's even reported on it, never mind people coming out and saying it's happened despite the number of people in multiple countries who would be required to be sworn to secrecy to get something like that to work

If 90% of their ideas are stupid, you'd still be missing out on a tonne of at least ok ideas

Sounds like you're not paying attention but instead thinking you know best and so there's no need to pay attention to anything else

I mean in this case it's a secular group attacking a religious group though?
