BF2S Forums The 'What Did You Buy Today' thread

Neat stuff:

Video is informative. Question isn't often well outlined or explained.

Another fish issue, you know all the photos of anglers holding their fish before they release it?
Holding them like that damages their organs and they just die later.

At least this stock photo character went to the actual outdoors to get his fish photo. He isn't some fat man on a pier in blue city arguing with the vegans hipsters who went there to smoke pot and do whatever it is that they do nowadays. God bless them.

Lost/discarded fishing gear is also a massive problem.

Here the numbnuts govt have stocked the recreational reservoir with fish.

You dumb fucker.

As we know anglers and canoeists get on great don't they.

Cats are evil because they toy with their prey, fishing is one of the epic sports because you can play with a fish for hours.

Also caged hunting is bad, tanked fishing is good - discuss.

* Hook and line fishing, questionable.
* Recreational and professional fishing detritus, problematic.
* Domestic cats killing wildlife, a responsibility of humans considering they're introduced pet animals (keep your cats secure. -sincerely, audobon). Nobody's saying they're evil.

There are probably some environmental benefits to stocking lakes and ponds with fish. Probably not the same moral conundrum as cage hunting, or completely psychopathic hobbies like canned pigeon shoots.

If it's not illegal, that still doesn't mean it isn't weird.

I wonder if the city would let me stock a warehouse with a bunch of wild rats for bowhunting "because vermin," or if they'd tell me they don't want a rat infestation introduced to an area of town.

The thing with the rabbits and foxes is kind of startling. Where I live they'll get mad if you trap and release to remove pests from your neighborhood. Problem beavers are destroyed if there isn't a place to take them in, because they will cause territorial disputes with other beavers if left in the wilderness. I couldn't imagine just dumping a bunch of foxes even in nearby rural country.

How do you propose they deal with the mosquito problem if that reservoir isn't stocked with fish?

time to invite another 3-page endless discussion of poor fashion choices.

i bought a thick down jacket for the remaining months of winter and into spring. never worn one of these things before but the jumper+trenchcoat combo is barely covering it in my new climes.



yes, i will totally be doing this.

england is extremely mild. it's pretty far north latitudinally but is pretty much surrounded by a warm belt of water from the mexican gulf stream. which also accounts for the stereotype of it raining a lot, especially on the atlantic seaboard of ireland/scotland/wales (it actually rains more per year in paris than london, but the stereotype has stuck).

in the UK we get about 1 or 2 weeks per year of snow, perhaps, or anything approaching serious winter weather. i've almost always made do with a trenchcoat, knitwear, scarves/gloves, etc. that doesn't work in korea. it's -15 and even more with the biting windchill. need actual thermal clothes.

i’m not sure why anyone would choose to. horrible stuff to drink casually and often.

prosecco or sparkling wines are popular. if you’re a divorced middle-aged woman.

Nothing pretentious about enjoying wine. Nobody bats an eyelid at the friend who knows all the craft beers, wine is no different.
