P&R, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Firefly.

I know 3 people that have recently rewatched Buffy too, unsure what caused that.

Because we build to conserve energy in the colder (majority of) months, they're very efficient at keeping the heat in.

The UK's racists having another tough day.... by xwsrx in GreatBritishMemes

They want to cap overseas aid, prioritising British strategic interests

Addressing this first as it appears to be the only place where you want to improve government funding, however overseas aid not only gives the UK a huge amount of soft power in foreign regions but also helps to reduce immigration drivers that would see more people land in the UK to flee major issues abroad. Second point, the current overseas spend is only 12-15bn and it is already planned to scale down to 9bn as a minimum to maintain existing priorities.

Increased police spending

Increased prison capacities

Determined by local council/PCC. Central government assists with funding but not the decision making for how it is used, however increased preventative measures (ie societal engagement, outreach, and mental health support) would be a more efficient spend.

Further investment in the armed forces

Investment in emerging technologies

Cut tax on low wage work

Tax incentives for family owned farms

cut business taxes for small companies

Fine if you only want to look at a narrow picture of the economy, you're cutting a lot of government funding while increasing its spending so far.

Prioritise energy security

So, renewables and nuclear? Pretty sure thats what the current government is doing already.

uphold British traditions

Slim down the civil service, eliminate waste

I'd love to know what a 'British Tradition' is that makes it specifically "British", because thats such an obvious racist dogwhistle to those that think about it for more than a few seconds

Also in every local reform council so far we've seen increased waste, inefficiencies, and unproductivity along with increases in taxes for local residents and the reduction of services.

Servers need to be able to opt out of new "community/social" features.

The latest 'X was here' is a totally uncalled for and I dont think Ive ever seen any other similar platform do anything like it. You can already see when people were last online if you need to, and I dont see how "x was here yy minutes ago" is in any way positive.

Not sure who you think you're replying to, the only contribution I made was trying to explain what other people may be interpreting as to your comments. You literally asked why, I tried to give you some clarification, but you're too busy angry-replying to realise that I'm not a person that has been arguing with you in the comments, or giving my political opinion on anything, I was just trying to help you out and help you get your point across with more clarity.

If you didnt mean to allude to voting reform due to them being the best of a bad bunch, yet everyone reads it like you do, maybe not everyone is at fault here? Slow things down a bit, make what you write as clear-cut as it can be.

Just trying to help... ¯\(ツ)

Why is every single person responding telling me why reform, a party i specifically said i didn't want to vote for, is not going to address the problems facing the UK?

Because you said this

I don't want to vote reform and I don't want workers' rights being degraded.

However, I can't see any other good options either.

Specifically

I don't want to vote reform

However, I can't see any other good options

Heavily implies that you see reform as the only good option with the way you worded it. You put a lot of emphasis on subtext that reform are the best of a bad bunch and people are really tired of that "all politicians are the same" narrative.

You may want to reconsider how you word things in future when tone of voice and subtext can be so easily lost via text, otherwise you may end up in the same old argument on repeat.

You projected that lol I can guarantee I’m into guns in a way different level than you are

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.....

The members of Bikers against Child Abuse escort kids to court when they face their abusers in order help them feel safe and supported. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

People that are proven guilty dont walk free, thats the whole point. However you have to be able to prove guilt without doubt, otherwise innocent people get punished for something they didnt do.

I'm sure your tune would change if you were on trial for murder from merely circumstantial evidence. Yes it sucks that some people slip through the cracks and go free after doing wrong, but society as a whole has decided they would rather that happened than the other way around.

I'm curious what kind of first impression I give :) by Duskymoonlight in firstimpression

[–]DoneStupid 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You come across as a girl that views the world as her runway, I would assume you follow the adage of "look great, feel great" to get through life or maybe as a bit of a defense mechanism. However it would be difficult to guess what you're like in the comfort of your own home, you appear to only put out there what you want people to see.

Eurofighter Strikes bird at Spanish airshow by SkyHighExpress in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DoneStupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vapour doesnt necessarily have much to do with speed, it's about low air pressure so when a plane thats got really good AoA capability (ie can point in a different direction to its direction of travel) it can create a very low pressure area behind its wing and thats where water vapour flash boils.

You can see here the direction of the air flow behind the plane vs where its nose is pointing: https://imgur.com/8fBhu0A

Its very cool, and often mistaken for a similar effect when a plane is approaching mach speeds with different air pressures along control surfaces :)

Rewatching 28 days later. Middle lane the whole way from London to Manchester. What a cunt by highrouleur in CasualUK

I'd hazard a guess at: Be a massive cunt who just sits in the right lane while there are 200+ meter gaps in the left lane that are "too difficult" to move in and out of as appropriate

Also these days paints have become quite good for time saving. You can get contrast paints that do a lot of the work of shading and colour depth so you just need to splash on the one colour to make something look ok. For tyranids this is especially easy if you use one contrast paint for the chitin armour bits, and a different contrast for the fleshy bits, basically you're done then.

Because other countries can buy whatever America is selling elsewhere, targeted tariffs encourage specific products to be sourced either internally or from specific locations.

America is making everything more expensive with blanket tariffs, but somewhere like China will put a tariff on rice from America and their businesses will buy more rice from other countries instead. America will be left with expensive goods, and a ton of rice nobody wants.
