Stop giving him oxygen. Liberal Democrats have 18 times as many MPs as Reform yet everyone hangs on Nigels every fucking word making him more influential on policy than he has the right to be.
The entire Internet is built on swapping between fibre and copper. There's less and less of it now that fibre optics have reduced in complexity and cost so that they can be run into people's homes but up until probably 10-15 years ago almost the entire world's Internet travelled the last few miles on copper lines while the core infrastructure was fibre. ISDN, ADSL, VDSL are all built on media-converters in one form or another. So is probably around 75% of all LAN technology today because UTP ethernet is so much cheaper and easier to build than fibre ethernet LANs.
According to The Big Issue (I can't find where they got their numbers from) there are/were more than 20 million square feet of empty office spaces in London. Which if we extrapolate from data I can find on occupancy rates within just the city of London, equates to around 5% of the total office space.
Not really a particularly large amount when you also see that roughly 7-8% of residential properties are also currently unoccupied.
And the country's largest project to convert a brownfield site (Teesworks) to housing has sucked up hundreds of millions in public grants and investment, hoarded cash and extracted private profit for one man Lord Ben Houchen.
Possibly the biggest case of local government corruption and mismanagement in our time.
Me and my partner were going away for 10 days. The final task I had to do before coming to get her from work was to turn everything off in the house like the lights and TV so we weren't using any extra electricity or were going to come back to a burned down house from a faulty dryer or something.
I though, I'll get everything at once and turn the electricity off at the circuit breakers so I don't have to go through the whole house.
I was very proud of my smart decision so I told her what I had done with a big smile on my face.
"What about the food in the freezer you idiot" she replied.
She was laughing all the way back home to do the job properly.
Maybe the idea that Epstein was at the head of a global network of paedophiles, involved with trafficking young girls and boys for the likes of Trump, Clinton and Gates is fanciful.
Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes.
The idea that this is all some Mossad psi-op to influence US politics is also bonkers and predictably falls into classic anti-semitic tropes.
Is it tittilating and fun to speculate about with people online? Sure. Does social and traditional media love a good juicy story like this and will continue to give it play and play? Absolutely.
I did some digging and apparently Waterworld somehow broke even. I remember a lot of the hype around the film at the time was wanting to see if it was really as bad as people said it was.
100% what I first thought of. I was well into WH Fantasy as a kid with my older brother and moved into 40k as a teen. Lost interest as an adult and thought I might like to get back into it recently cos I've got a mate who's obsessed.
Too expensive, the business model is more exploitative than ever and the game system has become terribly bloated and the recent new edition hasn't improved it.
Also, beyond the top tier of competition, most matches are decided before a single figure is put on the board.
There are other far more interesting game systems on the market that aren't dedicated into forcing you into buying new miniatures and books every 18 months.
Isn't this a picture of the guy who owned Pollen, the company that scammed hundreds of millions of pounds from customers and paid for a dream wedding abroad costing millions while bouncing cheques to his staff?
