The secret is you persuade a few people living next to each other to sell their houses in return for (a) a whole lot of cash, and (b) a free apartment in the new building. Usually done when an area has aged quite a lot, so the idea of an apartment is glorious compared to maintaining a falling down house. So there's no compulsory purchases involved, its the cash incentives because the land itself is worth way more than the crappy house on top of it (particularly the case with somewhere like Bayside - those houses are in a perfect position, but weren't built to last this long).

      Anyway I've just solved your long-term housing problem and its not even midnight on a weekday. I'll take your silent praise on the matter.
      As long as you continue to sneak in references to the pressing issues of the day amongst all the above nonsense, you can post away.

        Out of curiosity.....

        ONE of the key topics of conversation as the Brexit deadline looms is whether or not a hard border will be put in place between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

                      I just have an image of Jose having a narcissistic meltdown somewhere like Dennis from Always sunny.

                        The thoughts of him having a tearful, violent puke somewhere are marvellous.

Like there's no ship sinkings, mass famines, plane crashes, very little war, no polio or flu epidemics wiping people out. We're kinda reduced to making news out of a US presidents tweets. The news has become boring and irrelevant almost precisely because the world has reduced the number of newsworthy (i.e. awful) events. Fair fcks.

                                                    I see the olive crop has failed badly in Italy and Greece this year due to unprecedented weather conditions

                                                    Read this book , The uninhabitable earth, just getting into it very good on how it’s way worse than the media is generally portraying it. Far better than Stephen pinkeyes feel good candy floss fairytales for adults

                                                            The shot was going over, the player had his back turned, it was ball to hand.

                                                            When the defender jumps and turns his back, he is leaving himself open because he has very little control over his arms, but it's far from a stonewall penalty.

Fine. I don’t see how that is going to continue when we are going to see large drops in agricultural yield due to unpredictable and unstable weather, something which most credible studies show is only going to increase in coming years

Everybody knows there is issues and more needs to be done -especially in relation to climate change- but the evidence is not stacking up, conversely it seems to be stacking up in the opposite direction.

                                                                Famine is not widespread and yes 800m people in the world may be hungry but that has reduced significantly and is continuing to reduce.

                                                                It seems incorrect to extrapolate that we're moving towards famine because of olive failure in Greece/Italy or that we have a period of low-yield in certain areas.

Everybody knows there is issues and more needs to be done -especially in relation to climate change- but the evidence is not stacking up, conversely it seems to be stacking up in the opposite direction.

                                                                  Famine is not widespread and yes 800m people in the world may be hungry but that has reduced significantly and is continuing to reduce.

                                                                  It seems incorrect to extrapolate that we're moving towards famine because of olive failure in Greece/Italy or that we have a period of low-yield in certain areas.

                                                                  It’s pretty well established that overall agricultural yields will decrease as temp increases no? Like it’s not some weird conspiracy belief.And in any case current yields are dependent on practices and products that are a) environmentally damaging and b) contribute to climate change
                                                                  Climate change will have a negative effect on key crops such as wheat, rice, and maize, according to a major scientific report out Tuesday that reviewed 70 prior studies on global warming and agriculture.

                                                                    1. It’s irrelevant if the ball is going over the stands or in the goal , if it’s a hand ball or a deliberate attempt to make yourself bigger with arms out then it’s a peno

                                                                    2. It wasn’t any of that and in my view it was a VAR induced Peno. In real time that is never given. Even if the player was being clever there is no way in hell it should have gone to Var.

                                                                    Var should be for more clear cut decisions, they should not be such silly interpretations. PSG were robbed in this regard. (hate Neymar so cool)

                                                                    3. When it does go to Var it looks more incriminating, as would anything slowed down. To jump you need to move your hands up, then looking at the ball as you do it (despite the back turning) can lead to people misinterpreting your actions. In my view the player was just jumping and the ball went from his back and glanced off his upper arm at speed. A terrible decision

                                                                    4. I wouldn’t be surprised if PSG tried to sue someone J

The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

                                                                                Let’s not turn this into a googling link spam fest , last one

Some laboratory experiments suggest that elevated CO2 levels can increase plant growth. However, other factors, such as changing temperatures, ozone, and water and nutrient constraints, may counteract these potential increases in yield. For example, if temperature exceeds a crop's optimal level, if sufficient water and nutrients are not available, yield increases may be reduced or reversed. Elevated CO2 has been associated with reduced protein and nitrogen content in alfalfa and soybean plants, resulting in a loss of quality

                                                                                climate change, global warming, impacts, effects, agriculture, food supply, Livestock, crops, fisheries, ocean acidification, shellfish, international impacts

Humanity has a much easier time of destroying itself wholly now, even more so in the future as technology ever advances, so that would hold up to me.

                                                                                                      The shot was going over, the player had his back turned, it was ball to hand.

                                                                                                      When the defender jumps and turns his back, he is leaving himself open because he has very little control over his arms, but it's far from a stonewall penalty.
                                                                                                      Yep, stone wall. Arm was out and he only pulled it away when he made contact with the ball. Where the ball was going or would have ended up is totally irrelevant.

                                                                                                      Also, theres a CL quarter final on the line and you're in the last 90 seconds, grow a fucking set and throw your body at it. Deserves it for being a pussy anyway.

                                                                                                      Contrast that with Verratti all out throwing himself at the ball, he just couldn't get the block in time.

                                                                                                        It's a weird rule though given the way in which we consume movies is changing and it just seems like it's primarily snobbery that's driving the anti-Netflix push

                                                                                                          Spielberg is kicking up a fuss is all. i disagree personally. all films count, and sad thing is, there is such a massive loophole where films just get released in 1 cinema for a couple of weeks, and it then "qualifies".

                                                                                                          Since Roma's success though, plenty of cinemas are showing it, so it works both ways.

                                                                                                                Is simply not true. And the fact that LESS people are now hungry does not mean that NO people are hungry. And the amount of hungry people is not insignificant. Its not a tiny number. According to the statistics provided by PSV is nearly a billion people, or 1/9 of the worlds population.

                                                                                                                Also, there is something deeply unsettling about people borne into enormous relative wealth writing off the problems of world so flippantly.

You can also be “dropped into poverty “ . Especially seeing as a lot of the lifting has been enabled by exploitation of an all too finite resource who’s very exploitation is degrading the environment to such a horrific extent
                                                                                                                  It’s happened to prosperous societies in the past, there are plenty examples from history of civilizations overshooting the capacity of their environment to sustain them(the maya, Easter island etc). It’s pure arrogance to think we are any different, only difference this time is the scale is global

Humanity has a much easier time of destroying itself wholly now, even more so in the future as technology ever advances, so that would hold up to me.

                                                                                                                        I see the Swedish film Border is getting a mainstream release in IFI and The Lighthouse over the next week. I saw it in a festival and I guarantee you will never have seen anything like it before, nor will you ever forget it. If curious go without reading anything about it though.

                                                                                                                        Speaking of not like anything ever seen, I read Martin McDonagh's most recent play last night - A very very very dark matter. The most batshit play I've ever come across. Hans Christian Anderson's stories are written for him by a Congolese pygmy woman she keeps in a 3 foot box suspended from the ceiling of his room to whom he is sadistic. Oh and she's from the future, and Charles Dickens' novels are written in similar fashion by her sister.
