Most tradespeople will have favoured tools. It might be for woodworking, plumbing, electrics, plastering or writing code.

There’s little point in being tribal about it, but conversations will happen.

It doesn’t seem extreme at all. Just rational.

Anakins move is the same one Obi Wan did to Maul. Obi Wan saw it coming because it’s his move.

Homeschooling can’t give kids social interaction, which is just as important as the material. You can always tutor your kids in addition to what happens in school if you think the quality is low.

No idea.

Shepards tend sheep not cows, hence Shepard’s Pie is made with lamb not beef. Beef based versions are normally called “Cottage Pie”.

Absolutely they’re right.

We need to put some distance between us and the US, so we should be getting closer with countries facing the same issues as us. Unsurprisingly that includes our neighbours. I think it also includes CANZUK.

The one thing is that we need to retain fiscal control, so the euro is not an option. I think we’re going to need to go on a spending spree to revitalise sectors which our relationship with the US has destroyed. R&D, manufacturing, healthcare, utilities all need injections of cash and doing that whilst subject to the ECB isn’t going to work.

You have to not be corrupt neoliberals.

When there’s no support system, there’s no benefit to reporting it. Only risk.

I think he means the equivalent of car play.

6 Weeks * 7 days * 8 * 3 (24) hours * 2 * 4 * 5 * 9 * 10 (3600 = 60²) seconds

The last one is a bit of a jump, but 9 * 4 is 36 and 10 * 5 * 2 is 100 so together it’s 3600.

Desert Storm was the Iraq War under Clinton in the 90s.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq was “Operation Iraqi Freedom” 🤮.

Helium does a pretty good job of that too.

No. Corbyn got far votes than Starmer did. It’s just that the Tories hadn’t collapsed at that point.

It’ll be in shadow at midnight, yes, but not necessarily at any other time. Geostationary orbit is at about 7x the radius of the earth.

As such, the period when in will actually be in shadow is only a short period directly behind the planet.

Super heat what in that space? The point is there’s nothing to transfer heat to. All you can do is radiate infra-red light.
