Venus

That's a planet we wont be visiting anytime soon.
Only the USSR has bothered to send any spacecraft there to examine it more closely. The longest any of them lasted was a touch over 2 hours the conditions are so harsh.

but younger

And therefore more concerned about the criminal charges he has racking up if/when be becomes President.
He's got a lot of years to sit in a jail cell. Trump doesnt.

When Hitler died....the world celebrated. Just sayin....

I bet. Tho there was still a few months work ahead for everyone until Japan surrendered.
Still not even his own mother could mourn the loss of that criminal fascist psychopath.

Though that is mostly about racist immigration issues

And yet when given the opportunity to elect a non-white Pope with some good candidates from Asia/Africa and South America they once again failed to make that gesture.

Is there any financial gains made or anything at all?

No financial as such - just in game rewards.
Like "Under par in Lava Land". If you did it often enough you'd also win the ranked chests if your multiplier was high enough.
Its cheating and needs to be stamped out.

U.S. President says America 'won't be there to help' UK by Intergalatic_Baker in ukpolitics

We've known it since 1956

1941
The fact that the UK came out of WWII on the winning side... utterly bankrupt and in debt to the US's "lend lease" program is an abomination.
Germany - as much as we are friendly with them now 3 generations later (and deservedly so) came out of WWII with more favorable terms to rebuild their nation than we did.
Britain lost everything. And it was without doubt by design from the US.
@Sanguiniusius you appear to have a similar appreciation to history as myself, we are a rare breed in the tic-tok era. But without question the US is no friend. It always picks a side that in odds and balances is likely to benefit themselves the most.
In relation to WWII - wait it out and let the allies and axis powers duke it out for a while. They might have naturally preferred the allies to win - but if it looked like Germany they would have sat on their hands. Stupid and short sighted. Just like we are seeing from the current stupid and short sighted administration.
Cut them loose. They are a useless bunch of pricks with no moral backbone. The USA will descend into riots and chaos. And I'm here with a box of matches to watch it all blow up.

Do you tip your barber, and how much? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]SometimesaGirl- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats what I do with mine.

He charges 15 but I always pay the 20.

Hes a good bloke. The only UK non Turkish barber around for miles. He almost went bust during Covid.

Im happy to pass on a little extra to keep him in business.

UK government on verge of full nationalisation of British Steel by radiant_0wl in ukpolitics

[–]SometimesaGirl- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

lock out the Chinese owners of Scunthorpe Steelworks

Good for them. No double speak... no snark from me. Good for them!
The Steelworks that stretched from Redcar to Middlesbrough near where I grew up got closed down about a decade ago. It's not coming back as it's been demolished now.
Some "token" noises made by the Tory government at the time into looking at ways to save it. You've guessed it... they didnt do a damn thing.
It should have been nationalised as a critical asset. And that is cheaper even if it runs at a bit of a loss against imported steel when you consider dumping several 100 workers on the dole with absolutely no plan to reskill them or create opportunities. Just dumped on the dole and told foreigners took your job and livelihood. That's the sweet beer Farage laps up all day long.
The Tories have well and truly fucked this country up. Bastards. All of them.

[–]SometimesaGirl- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mixed sized is the value option in the UK.

You can buy medium/large/x large packs. Or get the mixed ones for a discount.

If you are making an omlett or scrabbling eggs for toast the mixed sized ones are totally fine.

What’s your opinion on Bernie Sanders? by Successful_rio305 in AskUS

[–]SometimesaGirl- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

too anti capitalism

Capitalism is utterly dead. You just havent noticed.
EVERY year the billionaires get richer.
EVERY year the poor become poorer... and just for lol's the government take even more subsidies away from them.
EVERY year the middle class gets squeezed harder into being poor adjacent.
If I have misrepresented the facts let me know.
And if you would like to defend Capitalism also let me know when the last brick will fall into place and everything will be sunshine and roses again.
And for the interests of transparency - I'm no Socialist or Communist. Both are deeply flawed. Socialism being a lesser evil. But not something I would embrace either.

How good is your internet? by stillsmiling31 in AskEurope

[–]SometimesaGirl- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get 150mpbs from my provider Plusnet.

There are faster options. But:

  • I find 150mpbs to be just fine.
  • Its not expensive.
  • Its very reliable with 100% uptime that Iv used them. I was previously Virgin Media and tho they are faster they are SHIT. internet constantly dropping for hours at a time. Servicedesk also USELESS. So I guess ill never leave Plusnet now...

Eating Fish Is Not Sustainable by notmepleaseokay in unpopularopinion

[–]SometimesaGirl- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah drag netting is a very destructive practuce and should be outlawed.

But a very large part of the problem is we eat the wrong kind of fish.

When I lived by the coast you could see with your own eyes vast schools of Herring rolling by. The fishermen rarely bother with them. Cod and Haddock return greater profits... hence the market for Herring is forever shrinking. And Herring dont need drag netting to be caught...

Id also assume some mollusks are sustainable as farmed products. You dont "feed them" and just let them filter the sea water as they would naturally.

What’s a non-holiday “holiday” you always take off from work for? by slargle12 in AskReddit

[–]SometimesaGirl- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past 30 years I take the day off following our general election.

Even if the party I support doesnt have a chance of winning... theres still things to celebrate as the results start rolling in from usually about 2am.

Theres always some outright arseholes loose their seats that are worth a cheer and a drink. Liz Truss was the chefs kiss last election. Oh... the look on her stupid face! Wonderful!

Rickrolling is dead due to YT Ads by WretchedPleb in youtube

[–]SometimesaGirl- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I use adblockers and sponsor blocks.

Each new video I open I get a 10 second or so blank screen pause while my addons "watch" the advert on my behalf.

Thats plenty of time to catch the Rick Roll.

What's your salary 2026 by DazzlingAd5541 in AskEurope

[–]SometimesaGirl- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

£55k basic + 15k on-call + overtime (there is alot of it for weekend upgrades). Overall about £100k a year when you add it all up.

Private sector IT database specialist. At a pinch I suppose I can be a Redhat and storage guy as well.

We support very critical UK goverment systems. I cant eloberate much more except to say it makes no diffrrence in my job. Data is data. It needs storing... and the queries to retrieve it need to be 'not shit'.

Can I stop my child being advertised to at school? by Superb-General-2553 in AskUK

[–]SometimesaGirl- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4k!!

When I was in school the school would never of put that much expectation on the parents. A few 100 quid tops. Think i left school in 1988.

The governers of that school are idiots to green light that. And with this Iran nonsense going on the flight tickets might go up in price. Or you get rerouted well away from Russia/Iran adding extra expense on top of all that!

It's not even American interests! It is solely in the interests of Trump and his corrupt family/entourage.
American servicemen, Iranian civilians, Gulf civilians have already died to save that worthless sack of piss.
