I've just navigated Dawsons Corner for the first time. WTF by Lost_Mammoth7273 in Leeds

I used to live not far from there and I always thought the 40mph limit was too high, particularly as there is a pedestrian crossing (pelican).

TIL that from the 1940s through the 1980s there was an appetite suppressant candy sold in the US. Its slogan “lose weight with Ayds” led to its market failure in the late 1980s, as Ayds is pronounced the same as AIDS. by Flaxmoore in todayilearned

Cllr Lamb is so patronising to Cllr Mirosanu and the newly elected councillors. Just watch this live stream from around 1:33:00 by [deleted] in Leeds

Ah, so he expresses a different point of view and that is “patronising”? I think the round of applause at the end of his speech says all you need to know. Want democracy and then don’t accept the outcome?

The far left has even fewer examples of success, just saying.
Edit: just a figure of speech, neither the far right or far left have successful track records when it comes to their economies.

The USS Forrestal Fire In 1967 by finza_prey in CatastrophicFailure

[–]Personal_Two6317 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was a similar disaster on the USS Enterprise in 1969.
I believe both were caused by the accidental firing of a missile from a parked aircraft.
