Faraday got her FCAT7 title on Saturday, had to drive down to just north of Fresno for it, but realised that while I had considered it a long way, it was actually about as far as the venues near Sacramento. Associating it with Fresno is what did it, that's actually another half hour down the road. D...

TLDR: “insult” the religion of peace, get fined by your government, and then get stabbed by an Islamist.

To me, this is one of their biggest weaknesses. If you want to provoke a reaction, you know which buttons to push, which gives you the excuse to roll in the reprisal or new law in. response.

Meant late term abortion not late school abortion…the joys of typing from a mobile device. I would note that the vast majority of cases (because I'm sure you'll find one that isn't) of late term abortion are for medical reasons. Usually a woman who's been looking forward to welcoming a child into t...

As a whole I agree with you and you are correct in the macro sense. But in this ops-normal micro world, most members skew to the left. I think you mean "skew to the left of you", which probably does account for most of us except Dushan. That leaves plenty of room to be "to the left" but still right...

Just heard the King of Spain has been quarantined on his private jet. That means the reign in Spain stays mainly on the plane.

The Chartist movement worked to ensure working men got representation in parliament. Only one of their aims has not been implemented. That being that there should be annual elections for MPs. Whoever drafted the Chartist Manifesto was completely right. It would be interesting if they did rolling el...

100% savings if you buy nothing on Black Friday.

I try not to buy stuff I didn't already want. Picked up a few things I was aware I needed so far this week, no point in waiting for Friday. It's a useful time of year if you're organised and the timing works out on things you need.

Highly skilled Royal Air Force officers - part of the UK's warfighting airpower - have been told to man gates at a key air base because of a lack of guards, Sky News has learnt. The move has left many flight lieutenants at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire feeling "undervalued and disenfranchised", an R...

Oh dear - yet another one. I hope he doesn't live in a high-rise... https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1860314717023076539?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1860314717023076539%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url= I'm sure he has a friend who lives in one, and so would have a reaso...

Which bunch of clowns do you want in charge? I'm not convinced that the Tories have learned sufficiently from their previous screw-ups and are likely to carry on where they left off.

I recall conservative pundits were not allowed to speak at my alma matter because the looney left wouldn’t allow them on campus and organized protests. Freedom of speech, eh? And Cal was known as the bastion of free speech. So dystopian. I can agree with you on this one. The way to deal with unpopu...

Llondel, This 3 min video clip explains it. https://x.com/EricAbbenante/status/1860032521041510598?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1860032521041510598%7Ctwgr%5E3439785b52ef7de6c2d89d732ab5f2dcfbe1619a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2024%2F11%2Fad...

I rarely wear a tie. There are a few occasions when it's appropriate but I made a decision a long time ago that I didn't want any job where I was expected to wear one regularly. I've clearly mellowed a bit, given that I've worn one when showing dogs, although more recently I compromised with a bolo ...

He’s never even been convicted of anything :-q Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration to become Attorney General after days of debate over whether to release a report on alleged misconduct. On X, formerly Twitter, the 42-year-old said that the controversy ov...

Rate or total number? Are you including rear ended Pintos? A quick check on Google says that the Aussies think it's 0.0012% for EVs and 0.1% for ICE vehicles. Some insurance group comes up with similar numbers, 61 times fewer fires per 100,000 vehicle sales for EVs. I assume these are current numbe...

That is interesting actually because I have a pair of deck shoes with leather laces and they always come undone without a double knot which looks scruffy. I will try this. This may be because you're tying the bow equivalent of a granny knot. I had that problem, saw a short video on it once, swapped...

Power back after about 5 hours. Biggest problem I have is with water, it has a 3 phase pump but my generator is only single phase and the pump isn't powerful enough to lift the water using 1 phase. Have to remember not to flush the loos unless it is really neccessary. If you're short, can't you jus...

But you mustn't think putin is ungrateful: Russia transferred more than 70 animals, including an African lion and two brown bears, to a zoo in the North Korean capital Pyongyang from Moscow’s zoo, the Russian government said on Wednesday. The animals were “a gift from (Russian President) Vladimir P...

I'm more likely to be alive at the end of the journey if I ride in the Fiat, although Swift is not my preference in music. Not so fast. EVs have been known to burst into flames for no apparent reason (other than the Lithium batteries, of course). Rate of vehicle fires in EVs is lower than that for ...

Good times, and a wild ride. Buckle up, boyz! Trump is that buddy who owns a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, blaring Metallica thru the speakers. Biden/Harris are your neighbors who are listening to Taylor Swift in their Fiat 500EV. You wanna go for a ride in the Hellcat or the Fiat? I'm more likely ...
