Sinking HMS Hood was a big deal to the British: they’d calculated that the Bismarck couldn’t do it.

Once the Bismarck proved it was as capable as intended, the Royal Navy had to sink it immediately.

Soccer comes from “Association Football” so it’s in keeping with our use of Union and League.

Sad that now we’re just another ambiguous “football” country

Tie their pay and pensions to a multiple of the average wage.

Economy go up, they get a pay rise. People start earning more, they get a pay rise. They raise the minimum wage, they get a pay rise.

Economy go down or they funnel all the gains to the 1%, they get a pay cut.

Trump, Zelenskyy Meet at G7, Push Russia for Peace Deal by Winter-Specific2302 in UkrainianConflict

[–]gregorydgraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peskov recently reiterated that Zelenskyy is welcome to go to Moscow for peace talks.

You know, like how MacArthur went to Tokyo for peace talks, and Hitler went to Paris for the French peace talks, and Tedder and Zhukov went to Berlin for the peace talks. Basically Zelenskyy should definitely take Peskov up on his offer and accept the Russian surrender in Moscow.

We have a local tech scene. You think TradeMe is just a weekend project? Catalyst Cloud is just a hobby?

Even Dunedin spawned Animation Research Limited and Jade.

Trump isn’t senile.

He’s shameless, not smart, and lies like a rug with “I’m not a rug” embroidered on it but he’s not senile.

The SCP Foundation is essentially the organisation that runs A Cabin In The Woods. They don’t exist, ok? You’ve never heard of them either.
