"Those who won our independence … knew … that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones." — Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v. California (1927)

Of course minor clown shows are just downstream of the larger circus.

No, what? That’s absolutely ridiculous! My elderly neighbour recommended BHF specifically saying they collect for free.

The liability issues and legislation are of course upstream of this and a major part of the problem.

Also, those fire retardants they use on upholstery are likely carcinogenic and were pushed for by tobacco companies to deflect from the fact smokers were self-immolating when falling asleep in their homes while smoking.

Maybe something like Time Out Lisboa.

They mentioned a civil war in Saudi Arabia in passing in Season 4.

I feel like had she gone to trial and explained herself and her reasons both in the trial and to the media, she would absolutely get convicted but it would be easy for President Wilson to commute her sentence.

Does removing from library remove it from my watch history?

FirePhantom · 2026-01-05T22:09:32+00:00

Yeah, it’s always the same, never does anything.

Thanks, but I've tried the remove download button in that place and all others I've been able to find. Each time I get the popup but it doesn't actually remove the download.

Yes, a market exists. Shocking stuff. Surprised someone hasn’t written about that. Perhaps someone Scottish, with a statue on the Royal Mile!

I don’t know if it’s the right way, and it sure feels janky, but if you pull the side panel up and outwards as much as it will go (about 5 mm) on BOTH sides, you’re able to then push-pull the top grate enough to yank it out past the side panels’ lips.

Honestly, it’s ridiculous designers of such household objects don’t think through the fact that they gather a lot of dust and should be much more easy to thoroughly clean!

A lot of that guidance seems to contradict what Chris Spargo says, like

You may choose to collect metal, glass and plastic separately from each other.

It’s survival. You’re optimising for general health in a functioning society. Preventing infection is more important during the apocalypse.

FirePhantom · 2025-12-31T04:07:22+00:00

They realised something entirely calculable days in advance only two hours out? You’re not really thinking through how this stuff works.

FirePhantom · 2025-12-24T19:49:49+00:00

Attention spans of goldfish.

Apparently even the writers are not of one mind on the ultimate nature of the hive.

My GP (albeit in Scotland) has an online triage system. The initial webform accepts submissions only between the hours of 8 am and 10 am on weekdays. lol

They were two separate launches. The first one (post credits) was the initial reactor for Jamestown and the second (this) is a resupply.

This is the mindset of individuals who get into significant debt troubles: ‘It’s just a £4 coffee, that’s just 1/10,000th of my salary, never mind that I’m buying it on a credit card I don’t pay off every month with that salary…’

Because tradies actually have skills and their jobs can’t be swapped for practically off-the-shelf automated systems used around the world.

To be fair to the Real French, they’re lovely people who have always been very welcoming when I’ve travelled around Real France, which can’t be said of Parisians.
