For a long time Facebook counted an angry react as equal to five likes for measuring engagement. It’s very much intentional.

I cannot comprehend how this guy is favoured 52-48 to win.

None of these folks are capable of manufacturing modern nitrocellulose gun powder or primer caps necessary to reload their fancy rifles and handguns.

This gave me a thought, would having equipment for ammonia and other chemicals (for fertiliser as well as explosives) be useful for preppers?

That can be delayed for a long time by stockpiling spare parts.

Plus, rural folks are not major emitters, so it doesn’t really make much sense to even try to find meaningful emission savings there.

“On average, cities and large towns produce about four tonnes of CO2 per capita, compared with more than six tonnes elsewhere in the UK”

“between 1.5 to 3 gallons per mile”, for those wondering

The classic “Buy a reputable brand, cut costs and coast along on the reputation until you can sell off all your shares and move on to another company”. Bonus points for using legalised embezzlement share buyback.

I’m skeptical about the 10 number, fruits and vegetables are plants.

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I’ll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, “if you’re explaining, you’re losing”.

I only ever read one, and all I remember of that was some kids being chased into a church by some demons, who then burn it down to get to them. The kids are put on trial for “forcing” the demons to burn the church, and they have to convince their lawyer not to throw the case because he’ll be executed if he wins.

Not a danger in the UK.

They’re both problems.

And that becomes a vicious circle as more children are driven to school, making it more dangerous to walk, so more are driven…

That’s more complicated than it sounds. An export strengthening the currency is a significant part of Dutch Disease.

Guy made a couple of lucky investments and convinced himself he’s a superior being.

Fission is based on the fusion that took place in ancient supernovae.

Governments are overthrown when the police and military refuse orders, not when they’re outgunned.

People are hardly ignoring the role of American-owned media in far-right extremism, it’s just that this particular meme references Putin.

Apparently not.
