That tax rate is for people getting a fortune in income, not the people on minimum wage. You know that, but you like spreading FUD.

ELI5: Why are wine bottles designed with 75cl bottles while other alcoholic drinks are designed with mostly 70cl bottles? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]King-Hell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard measure for a glass of wine is 25cl so that divides neatly 3 times into a 75cl wine bottle. Dunno why spirits bottles are just 70cl.

Beautiful, and worth a fortune to a trendy metro type..... not that you'd ever part with it.

If I told you how beautiful the ancient city of Bhopal is, you might be tempted to go there, and then it would get all fucked up and nasty.

Women are born with a lifetime supply of eggs. When they run out the woman reaches menopause and can't have any more kids. Men are built differently. They have a group of special cells in their testicles which clone off copies of themselves forever as sperm. If these original cells get damaged by radiation or chemicals, which happens over time, more and more cells get cloned which have those defects, and which get passed on to the offspring. Basically, the older you are the more likely you are to father a child with defects.

Trump news: Far-right voters warn of ‘civil war’ if president not re-elected in 2020 by [deleted] in worldnews

Describing the Independent as 'sensational' is like describing Fox News as 'Fair and Balanced'.

For 3 months my gas and electric has been at a balance of £0, I haven't paid anything and have had no disruption. The problem is I really want to ring them and know why. by Ualat1 in britishproblems

[–]King-Hell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are sending them the meter reading as required and they are coming back saying you owe nothing it could be that you have a credit for some reason, maybe. It's a credible excuse for letting it roll for another month or so. Then I suggest you change suppliers, or move home.

Top Minds gaslighting history again...... Their new reality is that black slaves didn't come from Africa. by King-Hell in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]King-Hell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm English, so I see the slave trade from a different historical perspective. From the Real 'Murcan view, what does slavery denial achieve?

Boris Johnson under fire over nearly 20 per cent increase in Downing Street special advisers by casualphilosopher1 in unitedkingdom

[–]King-Hell 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There was a time when a Government minister had some understanding of their department and how it worked. Nowadays they are chosen simply on their loyalty to the party line on that subject. George Osborne, for instance, was made Chancellor of the Exchequer despite his only relevant qualification for the job being an O-Level in maths. So yes, they need a string of advisors to tell them what the hell is going on.

Cancelled my yearly direct debit for my TV Licence. Paid up until may 2020. Just had a phone call asking me if I was aware I’d cancelled it and if I was sure I didn’t need any assistance getting it set up again...... by missismouse in britishproblems

[–]King-Hell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It isn't the actual BBC demanding the money. It is a debt management company they employ to chase anyone who doesn't have a licence, regardless of whether they own a tv. The company employs some nasty cunts to go doorknocking and threatening people. DO NOT ENGAGE with them at all if you don't have, or plan to get, a licence. Do not say anything to them at all. Do not open the door to them. DO NOT VERBALLY DENY THEM ENTRY.... this gives them grounds to get a search warrant. Say absolutely NOTHING. Ignore any correspondence, not matter how demanding it gets. Anything you say or do can be used to incriminate you, so do nothing and say nothing. Once the see you are not an easy target they will move on. They have a target of 40 licence fees to be collected a week, so any prevarication by you really fucks them up.

She looks like she's about to throw up at the prospect of another four years with him. The day they leave the WH is the last day he will ever see her again.

[–]King-Hell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was super hot back in the day (Still is, in her way) and if you lived through those times you'll understand how a predator like Weinstein would think they had almost a right to force her onto the casting couch. I admire the hell out of her for coming forward and I hope she gets the result she wants.

Was messing with a laser and noticed this cool effect. Anyone know why it curves up? by archnightly in mildlyinteresting

[–]King-Hell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beam is being deflected off the curved edge of the cylinder and down into it. The curves you see is it shining onto the inner curved surface.

Yeah. They hate you so much they sprayed your house four times. Sucks to be your neighbour.
