Yeah we don't have enough American news, we should start reframing other countries' news into how it affects America

It's sometimes called an overbalanced wheel, an early perpetual motion device. The idea is that there's more weights on the right side than the left side, so the wheel will turn clockwise. The weights are on rods that fall to the right as the wheel turns, so there's always going to be more weights on the right. So the wheel turns forever. Free power woohoo!

The reality is that the balls on the left are further away from the axle. Futher from the axle = greater torque. Surprise surprise it all cancels out and the wheel eventually comes to rest.

Bananas are proof of god

Boiling/freezing depends on pressure as well as temperature, I think water would actually turn into steam if sprayed into space. There's a story of a spacesuit technician being accidentally exposed to a vacuum and he says his last memory is feeling the saliva bubble on his tongue.

Because there's an after-after life as well

The path of the righteous Lemmy is beset on both sides by the inequities of the Republicans and the tyranny of Elon Musk

That would be Blackburn Rovers but that'll get you beaten up by ME!

In all seriousness you'll be fine either way. I do recommend a match, it's a different experience to American sports and it'll be a useful small talk opportunity. Otherwise you'll have to talk about the weather all the time.

Welcome! Do you have a football team already or are you going to support Bastard Rovers?

I'm actually happy to see Truss lining up with Farage. I know some people like big Nige but I haven't met a single person who has a positive thing to say about Liz Truss. Hopefully she drags him down with her

Why won't you send me your private key? Don't you trust me? 🥺💔😭

He never had it

If it's offensive to somebody else and upsetting them, yep. Delete.

If it's only bad because it's embarrassing to you, no. Own it.

People over here are starting to get the perfect bright white teeth that America popularised now. I hate it, looks so fake. We derisively call it "Turkey teeth" because they often fly to Turkey to get it done on the cheap.

I've argued with litterers before and it goes along the lines of "it's already messy, everyone's doing it". Same sort of excuses you get from cheaters and such. I don't mean to go all edgy Joker but there's probably things you and I do that are a problem but we don't see it because everyone else does it too. Eating meat and emitting tons of co2 for example.

Yep that's the one. It was on the taskbar so significantly smaller than it looks here. I think he thought the lightning bolt was the beaks.

Sometimes late at night I squint my eyes to look at the icon and, for a fleeting moment, I can see two penguins.

One time I heard a colleague called the settings/gear icon in Windows a flower. I've also heard somebody refer to the PuTTY icon as "the two penguins"

It's not gay if it's in a three way?

I remember thinking they probably just found actors who wanted to die anyway

New Balance do wide fit, but they're expensive to buy from their website and hard to find elsewhere. I usually keep an eye on Amazon and pick up a pair whenever they're cheap
