How the fuck did he get a horse on the flight in the first place?

300kt is quite the warning shot. It’s verging on just being a shooty shot

Meth-addict fish, aggro starlings, caffeinated minnows: animals radically changed by human drugs – study (www.theguardian.com)

From brown trout becoming “addicted” to methamphetamine to European perch losing their fear of predators due to depression medication, scientists warn that modern pharmaceutical and illegal drug pollution is becoming a growing threat to wildlife....

Aren’t Mildly Anxious Minnows playing Glastonbury this year?

Climate change is a real problem, we need to be very worried about what kind of a world we leave for Keith Richards

Glad to see the Met taking the initiative and getting as many as possible in one place, by employing them

Much like Israel used US missiles to kill people in Palestine, no?

Nice of Biden to take Netanyahu’s dick out of his mouth for long enough to say “no!”

CheapFrottage ,

I live on a different continent, and my politics, such as they are, lean in exactly the opposite way to your republicans, but sure, my assessment of Biden being Netanyahu’s bitch is completely unfounded…

That’s just false. The carrington event happened due to a sun spot on the sun’s equator. Last week’s was far further down, and was classified as “the strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003”. The CME from the carrington event was fired out of the sun on the solar plane, directly at the earth, while last week the CME was vaguely in our direction, but well below our orbit. The sun is a ball, not a flat disc, and it didn’t somehow steer the ejection toward us out of a sense of malice. The carrington event produced currents in static wire that were sufficient to set telegraph stations on fire. That would have tripped every breaker in the power grid, you can’t “harden” against that level of induction. It’s like saying that a practice amp and a Marshall plexi are the same volume because they both go up to ten on their volume knob. All you, and the pillock in that video, are saying is that you don’t understand the mechanism behind that number

Edit: adding a reference. The following article spells it out pretty damn well, written by someone who actually understands the subject - astronomy.com/…/a-large-solar-storm-could-knock-o…

I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.

Biased against a moronic idea? I don’t quite see what you’re getting at. If he wasn’t biased against this he’d be an idiot. It’s a really stupid plan, like most tech-bro ideas turn out to be

You see the tyrants buckle when their lies start to crumble The high turn humble when their empire tumble The bone-chilling condition war criminal villain Their pronouns are pronounced as chosen and victim The bombs in the billions to rain on the children The holy land built on mass graves you’re filling

It’s there no way we can popularise really-late-term abortions for the people promoting this bullshit? Is 60 years really too late for the mothers of these ultra-national/conservative fuckwads to change their minds?

CheapFrottage ,

Yeah, it’s sad to see unique bits of history fall foul of the whims of a tyrant. In the same Vance, the historical sites in the Middle East being destroyed by fundamentalists is a tragedy.

Watching his whole series get accurately and factually rekt by an angry long-haired kid from New England was really rather pleasing

CheapFrottage ,

Thanks, I have

CheapFrottage ,

What, are they angry that they wasted those expensive munitions on non-Palestinians?

I’ve got the manual Flair Pro, and I go through phases of using it, or going back to a moka pot. As it comes with a case, I can pack the gubbins away, leaving just the rather pleasing-looking frame, and I have a plan to make a little shelf with a drawer so that the whole affair can be tidied away quickly if I want. I’ve also taken it camping with me, and occasionally if I’m working somewhere remote, I’ve had excellent espresso on a job site far out in the woods.

It’s slightly more involved than an automatic machine, but if you’re only making one or two cups (I have two of the portafilter parts) it’s pretty quick and easy. I only have a hand grinder, so have to do that whether I’m using the Flair, a moka pot, or a cafetière.

The Flair allows so much adjustment that it can make some of the best coffee I’ve ever had, but it allows you to screw it’s right up too, and there’s a bigger learning curve than most machines. It’s definitely more of a hobby than just a part of a morning routine.

It also works on forever chemicals. They studied levels of PFAS in the blood of firefighters (who are commonly exposed to high levels in the foam they use), and found a clear difference between those that regularly donated blood and those who didn’t

Can you clarify what you mean by “Watching for the bloom”? I’m an espresso boy, I don’t generally get to see what’s happening in the brew chamber, so I’m unfamiliar with what that term actually means. I’ve watched James’ videos pretty religiously, but it’s your comment that’s made me realise I don’t know what that actually means!

CheapFrottage ,

Perfect, that makes it clear thanks. Explains why I have to time it in the espresso
