I take that as a compelling recommendation for Signal.

Reality has a left wing bias.
It’s roughly correct about the political leanings of UK newspapers as far as I’ve seen, but it’s way off on the accuracy and factual reporting measures. It seems to give loony papers a pass and the responsible ones a drubbing. It seems to have an American view of politics where liberal and left are conflated and also daring to report what the views of poor people are gets your reliability ratings plummeting.
True, but if you give your younger friend your bike, saying “Here, have my bike, you’ll do better with it than I will now”, and then publicly praise your friend for how great a bike rider they are, but some weird crazed racist lunatic who hasn’t been able to finish a coherent sentence for years and years rants about how you made the biggest mistake of your life and fantasies about you beating up your young friend for taking your bike, no one has stolen anything.
Can’t learn if you don’t make mistakes.
It was a gentle slap, but it was a slap. Most of us get through the day without slapping kids who we think are cheeky. Mr Erdogan clearly thinks he’s way too important to keep his hands off other people’s kids. He could have just told the kid what he was supposed to do, but he just lashed out. Guy needs to take his self importance down a peg or two. It was undignified and shows he doesn’t have any self moderation. Surrounded by people who always say yes to him no matter what he says, I reckon. He loses respect if he can’t deal with other people in a calm and sane manner. Which other world leaders slap children? None of them. This brings shame on Turkiye because their president can’t moderate his behaviour. The little kid showed more emotional maturity and self control in public than Mr Erdogan.
Can you elaborate on that?
Oh now, that… That is a whole load of very kinky stuff indeed.
In British English, Trump means (1) the sound an elephant makes or (2) a fart, particularly a noisy one. If you trump your own horn it means you’re boastful and think of yourself higher than other people do.
President Trump = President Fart.
Still funny after all these years, despite the looming fascism.
Excellent excellent.
Wishing good luck with the numbers into boxes bit and a safe flight home.
Best car I ever had, so much nicer to drive than any deisel or petrol car I ever drove, and much faster. Second hand as usual. Cheap to run £4/wk vs £20/wk. I charge it at home at night when the electricity is cheap because it’s all wind power at that time of night. Even charging on long journeys is cheaper than fossil fuels.
I don’t like to drive for too long without a proper break anyway so it hasn’t made much difference to us. I just plan it so that 250-300 miles into the journey is early lunch or tea time when we go on holiday. In the UK, the public chargers are pretty good and there’s loads of them. You want to arrive early for lunch if you’re at a motorway services because they get busy, but if you go for a macdonalds or shopping centre, you’ll be fine.
The rest of the year, who cares about range or charging or anything? Just plug it in when you get home if it gets a bit low, and the car’s timer starts the charge when the tariff switches to cheap night electricity. You never need to go to a petrol station again.
Seriously, best car ever. Smooth, FAST and good looking. Makes me happy every day.
Oh. Last night - two hours? What? And quite a bit more varied than usual. Are you trying to show off or something?
I got your upvote, and I think maybe dial down the frequency a bit, and I’ve got to tell you, I don’t think real women like that particular activity as much as you seem to hope they do.
Why do I want to try this?
Google never had any intention whatsoever of prioritising your privacy over their advertising revenue. This technology was 100% designed to shut other operators out of the tracking and advertising market and 0% to reduce their ability to track you and advertise to you. Never in a million years were they going to spend a lot of time, effort and money destroying the source of their money. Hobble competitors, yes. Hobble themselves? Never. Not even a little bit.
Yes, in case you were wondering, that upvote opened the channel. From your phone history, I think you have pretty good taste. On the laptop, it’s mostly boring work stuff, but clearly your son is using your login for college stuff and some other stuff you don’t want to bump into if he forgets to use incognito mode next time. Give him his own login and he’ll stop changing your desktop wallpaper.
Meanwhile elm programmers: look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our powers
I had an old little red Toyota Yaris that I called Jennifer, because it looked like a Jennifer to me.
Now I have a dark blue Ford Focus that I call James for pretty much the same reason.
I… don’t seem to name cars like you other folks do.
