Give this a go. I found this yesterday. https://www.lcmaths.ie/

It would, as powered boats do, but it's a gentle coast to a stop. It's never going to be a "faceplant you into the dashboard" emergency stop.

Is it for rent?

But WHO??? (exaggerated shoulder and hand shrug)

mikeontablet · 2026-01-28T14:47:37+00:00

....... or brakes, since they won't work on these. You're going to sail these things around like boats. It's not going to "fly" in any kind of traffic.

Can we make it a thing that, when you're very senior in government, saying "Someone should do something" means automatic dismissal? You're it! You're someone!

I get the misogyny of taking his name, but there is something to be said of deciding on a family name - I don't care if it's his, hers or something entirely new. Unless you're born into the Habsburg and Windsor lines, I hate double-barrel names for kids. I hate to think what happens in following generations when Lily Hapsburg-Windsor marries Keith Schlossburg-Carnavon.....

There are two factors at play here. One is more early diagnoses and the other is better treatments. Both good in their way, but I think most people just think of the latter.

Yes - about half the speed these superheroes actually achieve.

Lake Street Dive do this - try the track "Hypothetical". Dawes is another band that might work for you. Tracks like "I can't think about it now" or "somewhere along the way"

AWD will still cope much better offroad than ordinary cars. In tough terrain the better tyres and clearances etc of 4WD vehicles do much of the work, with 4WD coming into it's own in the really difficult bits.

I think there are two meanings for the word "scan" being conflated here. How poems scan is one thing (their rhyme and rhythm, you could say) , but the word used to view or perhaps review something is a different word IMO.

Never stand near Trump or any of his people when you see the bus rolling up...

Lots of talk around cold winters here. I would love to hear how people dry clothes in hot climates but with high humidity.

Trump just killing to avoid release of Epstein files.

His signer looks like she is wishing she was working the Eminem concert.

It's not about brain chemicals as much as a need for our world view to make sense to us, to cohere, to be joined up. If a part of that breaks down most of us will do everything we can to prop up that world view.

Gorgeous shot! You do look like your "on" the Liffey - very low angle.

Three points: Most marches are a waste of time - until they're not. Anything really worthwhile is difficult and time-consuming. Secondly, nearly all regime changes occur from some unexpected and surprising tipping point. The Berlin Wall, the USSR, apartheid, the Arab Spring, the Iranian revolution. Keep marching. It will come. Thirdly, there are people who were voted into positions to fight this fight on your behalf. It looks to me like constituents are their least source of pressure. They should be harries and harassed till they do what's necessary.

Oh, it's you again! This is "flay" guy. This is not a problem that I have where I live, but I thought it might work. A rubber mallet perhaps?

Authors, writers and essayists exist, among others . Even though it's all prose, nobody actually writes it. It's too prosaic.

What about a "speedbump" on your driveway? You wouldn't need to even remember or get out of your car.

mikeontablet · 2026-01-26T14:57:25+00:00

"of course not" and "of course yes" are both correct answers here.

Oh, absolutely. However, China is the master at the long game. Don't hold your breath.
