@johnt0709 @ThomasKerrMSP @GlasgowCC Have you seen it? They've gone right down past the original cobbles and tramlines, you could see them being uncovered. Previous rejuvenations were just pasted over the top, it's never been dug up like this.

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@johnt0709 @ThomasKerrMSP @GlasgowCC Which I'm sure they did, but it isn't 100% foolproof, especially if the cables aren't energised at the time of scanning. And obviously the efficacy depends on the depth, where historical works on George Square will go many metres deep

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@johnt0709 @ThomasKerrMSP @GlasgowCC You're assuming utility companies know where all their cables are. In reality, they tend to find out where the old (i.e. pre-1970/80s) stuff is when someone else digs it up.

@JMcduffims @ThomasKerrMSP @GlasgowCC Those were all superficial renovations that didn't involve digging up the ground to any significant depth.

@Johnmcternan @scepticalists Of course it does, I'm just pointing out in this case the shareholders aren't some anonymous middle east hedge fund who should be casually dismissed and scorned, but actual normal people

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@scepticalists @Johnmcternan I didn't have any say in it

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@Johnmcternan If only there was some kind of public water ownership model somewhere in the UK

@scepticalists @Johnmcternan Hi, university lecturer here, our pension fund is the biggest shareholder. Would kinda prefer this didn't happen if that's ok

@RightWing_Brit I like it when you guys do your funny walk like you've still got a bit of bumwad stuck in your crack

@tknep3 @keithdunn which is weird when ranch dressing is widely available in supermarkets in most european countries

@WillyGK1966 @cmsinvests @MarsResident027 And how would you, in the 1850s/1860s, have known to pick these specific companies rather than the hundreds of other new infrastructure companies that are long dead and unremembered? Ever heard of survivor bias?

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@WillyGK1966 @cmsinvests @MarsResident027 they went bankrupt in 1893 and were bailed out by the government, so maybe not the great example you were looking for

[Wil E. Coyote @meepmeep_]

@MarsResident027 @cmsinvests you think it's going to have a market cap 2-3x greater than the entire GDP of the planet?

@dandouglas bring this one back
