I’m pretty sure Ukraine doesn’t have enough ATACMS to completely change the situation. I’m confident they will find clever ways to make Russia hurt with them though, they always use the weapons they are given to good effect.

All of this also applies to women saying horrible things being called out by other women who they respect / think are part of their social group.

And only to men, because of course there aren’t any women who hate on trans people!

Yeah good point, it was more than just twitter.

YouTube definitely know they have an issue and don’t care, or they would do something about it. Radicalising people with extreme content increases engagement which makes them money, the only thing that will make them change it is regulation (with teeth).

The mad thing about the result is that the Dems spent so much more money and still lost. Not that you can easily quantify the financial value of changing the algorithm on twitter to favour Trump.

So much better, thanks!

I don’t like musicals but this film is amazing, truly one of a kind. Absolutely worth watching!

That’s a strong wrist. Too much self-pleasure!

Circumference, not width

“Append…before”, AKA “prepend”!

What’s sobe?

Yep, we have the same system in the UK. In fact, the envelope looks almost exactly the same so they might even be printed by the same company.

You get two envelopes (one big, one small), a postal voting statement, and a ballot paper.

The actual ballot paper just has a list of options for you to put your X against; there’s no personally identifiable information on it. Once you’ve filled it out you seal it in the small envelope.

You then fill in the voting statement (it has your name and address on it so they can cross your name off as voted, and you sign it so they can check your signature matches the one on file) and both that and the sealed ballot go in the big envelope. That way your vote is still private because they check the vote is valid in one step and then add your ballot to a pile to be counted with the others in a second step, at which point it’s anonymous.

A… slab? Of wine?

Is that a whole pallet or something?

People are mostly talking about what a bunch of idiots they are though.

This lot look like they were cast by the daily mail, they couldn’t be more of a caricature. It is absolutely not effective communication.

Haha I have similar tastes, love a kebab.

Maybe those foods seem overrated because they are so accessible and easy to cook (few ingredients)? Easy things to start with if you’re learning to cook.

Are you someone who likes sweet stuff more than savoury? I’m not into sweet stuff and don’t get the fuss about chocolate, but a nice savoury salty or spicy thing does it for me.

I guess everyone has different tastes.

I get your point but hydrogen isn’t just sea water, you’ve got an awful lot more energy to put in after the “tank is full so wrap up the hose and drive off” stage to separate the hydrogen from oxygen to get the fuel. The difficult bit comes after “get water”.

On the one hand, this is embarrassing for Russia, but on the other hand the UK’s Trident nuclear deterrent failed a couple of times in a row over the last few years, so I’m not going to get too excited about it.

It could go that way, but on the other hand they could be more like MorningLightMountain in Peter Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star, i.e. fascists who exterminate every other organism that competes with them for resources.

Great book if you haven’t read it!

Those are also good reasons, i.e. more than just “I disagree”
