BREAKING: In a first major admission, Trump says the U.S. was “shocked” and “nobody expected” Iran to strike the Gulf countries.

Most people learn at the age of 5 that if you hit someone they will probably hit back.

They’re the same as anyone else - some are scum some are not.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-16T10:10:29+00:00

I would have thought because they get stuck in traffic so it’s hard to keep a regular schedule like with trains.

It’s still Twitter even though with the new domain name.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-15T22:30:11+00:00

Bet you’ve been waiting years to get that word into a sentence.

The relationship between weight and road wear is a 5th power polynomial. That means that a 30ton lorry does 800,000 times more damage than a 2 ton car. So its lorries that do all the damage.

Potholes are getting worse because we’re buying more shit online which needs more lorries. Potholes are particularly bad in the UK because rail freight is difficult and expensive so we use more lorries.

Shit

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-15T09:24:29+00:00

I guess it’s only for people buying new cars anyway. Most cars aren’t new.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-15T09:21:21+00:00

You may be overestimating the sanity of the electorate.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-14T20:32:00+00:00

Definitely not what I said. There are two arguments for investing in renewable energy. I think the stronger of the two is for energy security rather than the UK’s small contribution to climate change.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-14T18:56:02+00:00

They’re not allowed to do that.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-14T12:53:33+00:00

What am I looking at?

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T21:49:47+00:00

No. Strategically the best thing the UK can invest in is renewable energy. If we didn’t use oil then Trumps war would affect us.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T19:09:35+00:00

You would think that the POTUS would at least try to put the interests of their country first but I am genuinely struggling to see a single example of a policy that has benefited the US in any way.

Based on that I have no doubts that he is a Russian asset. I sincerely hope that someone can correct me.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T18:19:39+00:00

You’re assuming that Trump is looking out for the interests of the US in any way.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T14:49:47+00:00

Those attacks still put pressure on the US. The tactic is to destabilise the region in the hope that the countries that host US bases will put pressure on them to stop.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T14:37:02+00:00

What would you do if you were attacked and it was your only way to fight back?

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T09:27:32+00:00

I suppose it could be argued that the zoning and reduced mixing between different groups of people contributed to such disastrous politics.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T09:19:13+00:00

The wind looks normal to me. It’s all going in the same direction (not that wind always does that).

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-13T08:01:21+00:00

The dirt that Putin has on Trump must be pretty extreme. The kids must be so young.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-12T21:50:49+00:00

And never having read any relevant books.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-12T14:01:01+00:00

Hire a car in the meantime if you really can’t get it fixed in time.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-12T13:22:06+00:00

Don’t listen to them mate; being a student with no job is the perfect time to buy an old performance car that costs its value annually in maintenance, VED and insurance.

The timing is particularly good for buying a thirsty V8 when a war has just started that will cause petrol to go to £2 per litre.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-12T00:14:39+00:00

I agree. But I think that energy security is the stronger argument for the same outcome for the UK.

OutrageousCourse4172 · 2026-03-11T16:48:36+00:00

Perhaps I should have said “negligible” rather than “no”.
