This is what unmedicated mental illness looks like.

The UK’s nuclear arsenal is still dependent on the US for maintenance, with warheads going to North Carolina periodically.

The new strategic nukes Starmer is ordering will be tied into the US infrastructure, as are the F-35s to launch them, though given the last-resort nature of nuclear weapons, their actual purpose may be to keep Trump onside politically while Britain’s everyday military capabilities integrate more closely with its European neighbours.

Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

“meat” is descended from a Germanic word that just meant food, which is still evident in cognates in other languages (i.e. “mad” in Danish) and archaic words like “sweetmeats”

And throw away the key

Least surprising revelation ever.

Wow. Haven’t seen a proper medieval-style Blood Libel in the wild for a while.

Either that or he’ll vote for Musk’s Epic Based Lulz Party

Dude slathers himself in antelope guts, jumps the fence into the leopard enclosure, then complains about his face having been eaten.

You laugh now, but a hundred years after the collapse of technological civilisation, the surviving mass-produced artefacts of that lost age will be associated with great prestige and power. Imposing buildings like palaces and cathedrals will feature parts from long-lost machines as prominent architecture features to signal the power and proximity to the divine of those who commissioned them.

About 500m or, if I want to go to a larger supermarket, about 2km.

There’s probably a market for targeting people matching not only a demographic category but the combination of one and attempts to keep it private, like religious conservatives who browse gay porn in incognito mode or seemingly progressive people who have right-wing views they keep secret.

IIRC, in the early 20th century, it was considered fashionable in some segments of French Canada to get all one’s teeth pulled out and replaced with dentures, so maybe time is a flat circle here.

Did he bring her back to the US after the war ended?

Threadbare. In cities like NYC, it approximates European transport, though is somewhat more dysfunctional. Elsewhere, you have things like “commuter rail” (like a regio/S-bahn, only with next to no off-peak service, running solely as a shuttle between CBDs and dormitory suburbs). There’s Amtrak, but it’s slow and infrequent and runs on tracks owned by freight railroads, and often is delayed by hours from waiting for freight trains to pass. Bus services have a stigma, associating them with poor (and typically non-white) people, to the point where people who have a choice avoid them, and vote to minimise the amount of their tax money that goes to pay for them. And in some Republican states, the government has scrapped even buses, replacing them with Uber vouchers mailed to households.

So yes, DB is creaking and needs investment to bring it up to scratch, but its service levels (even when wracked by delays) are utopian compared to most of the US.

The party could also split the Democrats, or at least split some of their billionaire patrons off, with “reasonable” “centrist” money no longer going to the “sensible grownup” corporate Dems.

What’s the frequency for forklift/crane certificates or similar? Driving a car should be regulated similarly (with the proviso that it is accepted that many blameless people will be found unfit to drive, and society should accommodate them by means other than lowering safety standards).

“Adrenaline-style policing”: new policing methodology just dropped. What are the pros and cons of it versus, say, Peelian community policing?
