'Extreme frustration' after Bristol activists vandalise 150 vehicles
From https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/extreme-frustration-after-bristol-activists-8913213
"We are a group of young people angered and fearful of the world we are inheriting. The UN estimate 1 billion climate refugees by 2050, how did Europe cope with a mere 1 million Syrian refugees in 2015?
"Irreversible feedback loops may have already been triggered, or will soon be set off: through the destruction and retreat of the Amazon rainforest, the melting of permafrost in the Artic circle and the bleaching of coral reefs. This could lead to spiralling ecological collapse.
"By now, everyone agrees that the climate crisis is immediate, grave and caused by human activity. Although our means of tackling this issue are not unified.
"After pursuing many democratic avenues in an attempt to affect change: writing to MPs, attending dozens of peaceful protests, working with the Green Party. No real change has occurred.
"In fact we see the opposite: we see the government support 100 new licenses for oil and gas, which led the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee to say that “the Government has no coordinated plan towards achieving the net zero emissions by 2050 target”. We are left with no other option. If the institutions of power will not affect the necessary change, we must do so ourselves."

That gives me Û
…
Googled it - an ellipsis is alt + 0133
I'm at a Windows machine now and strangely my instructions (which I just copied from elsewhere) gives me Ω
Your alt + 0133 does the trick…
I did try searching for a method on Android, but there didn't find an easy an obvious method apart from doing a search and copy/pasting (that works everywhere)
Bloody smug Linuxerati with 4096 codes in a lookup table in their Tefal heads...
Sorry to disappoint, but I just do a search and copy/paste.
At my windows PC, I've got a nice clacky keyboard with a built in trackball (I love trackballs ever since playing Centipede in the arcades back in the day), but it's a US layout, so I'm often doing the same to find a pound sign.
Aren't Tefal a company that make frying pans?
Yes
Tried it on Windows.
Ω
That's an Omega not an Ellipsis.
It's Alt-0133
…
Yeah, I found that out too after trying it on a Windows PC.
I'm going to stick with my copy/paste method - works almost everywhere.
Aren't we all?
Probably somewhere ice-olated
Just had a quick search around and seen the same quote published, but with "Arctic" spelled correctly, so I think it's a BristolPost error. However, discovered that there is a charity called "Reclaim Our Community" that is unrelated to this activist group - maybe they should join forces with Tyre Extinguishers instead.
Not sure... is it called the semi circle in the USA?
I'm pretty sure Aldi has these on offer at the moment for £2.75.
Nah, you're getting confused with the mini
ViennettaViennese on a stickThose look pretty cool.
They all park in a circle for defensive purposes when hordes of eco protesters attack.
I thought it was to stop stowaways before boarding the cross channel ferry.
