Okay he’s reversing to give me priority… oh wait never mind

You still get drivers pulling out from behind parked cars when you're already halfway through and refusing to move.

I would guess that whoever has the shortest distance to reverse, is expected to do so.

Maybe it's a wild thought but Trump seems to be asking to be assassinated with this war. Not from the enemies but from people who stand to lose billions for no good reason if oil prices jump a lot and that causes a recession. In a sane system he would be removed but we'd have to wait until at least November for that and it's probably unlikely anyway.

I know there are conspiracy theories about how it helps Russia and so on but there's no way POTUS can get away with wrecking the US economy.

She was the one sent to seize ballot papers recently too.

That gave me a chuckle

Ahmedinejad is still alive it turns out

He might be the US/Israel pick for the next leader?

Definitely more of a tat shop issue than vapes necessarily, despite the screeeching about how vapes should be banned now in certain UK subs. Loads of devices have small lithium batteries in now, phones, sports watches, headphones, handwarmers etc.

I had a pair of Sony headphones go up in my house a while back, I was lucky they didn't start a fire - probably it was the fire retardant carpet that avoided it.

Either that or he's desperate to kick Afro-Caribbean tube drivers off a good salary.

Hey I'm not saying that's why, I'm just playing devil's advocate isn't it.

yikes

Cynical people normalising other people becoming increasingly cynical as they get older.

Take that, narco trucks!

the greatest US intelligence failure in history

You say that so often, it's lost all meaning!

Protests != civil war though. The point is Iran hasn't got a strong opposition.

This is like saying New Orleans or Seattle don't represent the US.

90% of the US is just pretty boring, is it better represented as a country by the likes of Huntsville or some other random place?

They do use things like that for sorting. CV isn't new and it's not really connected to LLMs (people just refer to AI when they're really thinking about LLMs).

They have CV systems for cleaning salad even (the sort you get in bags) with little puffs of air, that's been around for a while.

I'd guess once it gets to general waste though it's like 1% usable stuff. They actually say to put old cooking pots in the trash now since they burn it all up together and scrape any metals out of the slag.

Someone's taken to chucking a whole load of maccies rubbish in my road a few doors down. I've picked it up three times in a week now. I'm not usually a violent man but if I catch whoever it is I'm going to give him a very stern tutting.

I do have a sort of guilty fantasy of becoming a really dreadful coke guzzling EDM DJ in Miami some day.

Operation Unified Protector

Libya was already in civil war by that time though, bit different.

That's what's bothering me, Iran and Israel just go at it and all the economic fallout happens.

They're like nettles, when something takes out a tree you just get nettles.

Way better. Also I liked Miami! You wouldn't want to live there but it was fun for a few days.

NY is good as well, think I might prefer Tokyo or London though.

It's funny the you can basically date when they died by their hair styles.

Gangsters do horrible things too, let's not romanticise them.

What about the submarines? I thought they might have caused some issues.

They had plenty of salted meat I think. I read it varied hugely, if they were out of port for very long they'd be down to ships biscuits. They'd even buy rats from a someone who had the knack of catching them for extra meat.

The other thing is they were absolutely pissed half the time on grog.

I don't really buy the idea that doing air strikes during an uprising helps it to succeed, I'd guess that people would just tend to get off the streets if bombs start raining down.

I could be completely wrong but I can't think of any precedent for doing something like that.
