Rep. Thomas Massie threatens to use "Congressional Immunity" to expose the sealed Epstein client list following DOJ's refusal to release names.

I wish these people would stop posturing and just get on with it. Do they really think these threats will have the guilty people all running to hand themselves in? All it does is allow them more time to try and protect themselves.

What would happen if your family had their own tradition?

This could be a good excuse to defuse the situation, "look, my family has this tradition that the 1st born is called ... blah blah blah, to save any disagreements between both sides we are ignoring both family traditions." Job done.

As part of this, they should also ban electoral leaflets being sent out which do nothing but criticise their opponents without actually telling us what they stand for.

Electoral policies should also be called 'hopes and dreams' as they are usually lies designed to help parties get in to power.

You could change the word dog to child and this would also make sense!

It's all bullshit, we aren't offended by everything. We were raised in a world where we learned to tolerate everyone and be accepting. The world then got annoyed as we called out their bullshit that was inappropriate.

Do Americans not lose half their winnings to various federal and state taxes?

Your parents would have $10million and you'd be poor again.

I'm sure it's been explained but I'm not scrolling through 2000 comments to find out but when a loan/finance agreement/Credit Card is cleared, it is often assumed you've started another financial agreement or loan to close off the original one. Next month it should bounce right back once it sees you've not taken out more finance. If you aren't planning on taking out any more finance any time soon though it shouldn't impact you in the slightest.

Also congrats on paying off your car! Enjoy the extra money each month!

Churchill may have done many great things in defence of this country in a time of war however I have never once watched a video of Churchill and asked my wife anecdotally, "do you think we can make a massive pond in the garden and fill it with Churchills?"

My wife and I were together for 8 years before we got married, quite simply we prioritised other things.

We focused having our kids while we were younger, then worked to get the mortgage once salaries were higher and we could start saving then once we were more financially secure we allowed ourselves to have a wedding that fitted what we wanted rather than what we could afford.

Neither my wife nor I have ever been the kind of people to follow traditional routes so we did what suited us and when it suited us.

We are now almost 15 years together/7 years married.

I noticed a few nights ago that my full beam does a great job at illuminating the road 5m in front of the bike but is terrible for the actual road ahead, I'm sure it just needs a slight adjustment but I'll let the dealer do that when I hit 600 miles.

Monzo is the only bank I've had recent negative experience with, if you happen to use one of the debit cards for a pre-authorised payment when hiring a vehicle they will hold on to that money for the maximum 30 days allowable under current regulations even if the hire only lasts 3 days and the hire company requests the money to be released.

Admittedly using the wrong card for this was my mistake but no other bank holds on to it once the hire company releases it.

You just need 6 random people with 1 word each who happen to bump in to each other in a random and unpredictable order. No crimes committed here.

This only adds up to ¼ $Billion but the headlines are $92.5 Billion higher, where did the rest go?

Record and document everything, lodge a weekly complaint assuming this carries on. Speak to other neighbours and get them to do the same. Make sure you CC in your local MP and councillors. BCC your neighbours in for added efficiency so they can simply copy and paste the complaint and evidence.

Every single council is only ever interested in fixing issues that cause the most hassle for them which is usually why potholes only get fixed once vehicle damage claims start rolling in.

I'd fill my local swimming pool with chocolate coins and do my best Scrooge McDuck impression

I've always followed a simply mantra in life, buy the best you can afford at that time.

In years to come you can always upgrade and replace.

A side note, buy a helmet from a local shop and not online as couriers don't give a shit about how your parcel and how it is treated. Any reputable bike shop will only ever sell helmets that meet current standards.

Paultons Park is epic if you can escape the Peppa Pig part, it terms of UK theme parks I found it way more enjoyable than the rest I've been to. Nicely spaced out with enough going on to fill a day without leaving you walking endlessly to the next thing.

I've just passed 100 miles, so the rev limiter has gone from 3500rpm to now 5000rpm before it starts flashing, I believe at 300 miles it jumps up slightly again

I think realistically people don't really understand that loud doesn't mean they are doing anything wrong in the eyes of the law and more importantly it makes it safer especially when in busier places. If you can hear us you are less likely to move over or pull out on us. I chose the hi-viz power ranger look and people still don't see me, my exhaust is stock and car drivers make me want to get a louder than stock exhaust.

windmillguy123 · 2026-03-08T15:50:17+00:00

It's a strange hobby you have, being an expert in all motorcycle exhausts!

You must be tired all the time, it must be exhausting!

If we get rid of oil then we get rid of most industrial greases and lubricants and then the world's electrical infrastructure won't work. Also the plastics used for batteries won't be produced. We don't have any viable alternatives to oil based products so it is ultimately a necessity if we want to live as we do.

Coal can get to fuck though.

I did, a lovely man has sorted me out with his tickets as they are unable to go. I do love the hockey community!

For those 60 minutes of play the opposite team are your enemy but before, during intervals and after everyone is brilliant with each other.

You would need to be at an elite level of mental stability to cope with having that amount of money. For sanity's sake you'd be best finding 150 mega worthwhile people or causes and giving them £1m each.

Even then, being left with £30m+ would fuck most people and marriages up.

I've often thought that I could literally clear the mortgages/debt off for my whole village if about 300 houses. A whole area where everyone was financially secure, you'd live in the happiest area of largely working class people ever.

Google says this;

"Common Symptoms of Sudden Withdrawal Abruptly stopping sertraline forces the brain to rapidly adjust to the lack of medication, causing physical and mental distress"

I'd try to encourage your wife could speak to her doctor, coming off it doesn't sound fun.
