They replaced Boris Johnson with a block of (melting) ice when he didn't turn up to a climate debate.

This is silly. The top left one is clearly from a cow and one of the others is a sheep.

A British politician once failed to show up for a panel show and they replaced him with a literal tub of lard. For the whole thirty minutes.

It seems fitting for Trump.

I misremembered the words a bit..

Old, old, incredibly old school!

It's not Rudi's advisor, it's his creditors' advisor. I'm not sure why he has to pay the advisor and not the creditors.. I should probably read the article.

"Does no one remember Magna Carta? Did she die in vain?"

But seriously, it's one of the most interesting and important documents in Western history.

The Russian military has hundreds of helicopters and, so far, has lost just a hundred or so to Ukrainian action.

Odd use of "only". Based on that sentence alone, they've lost between 10% and 90%, which sounds like a lot..

Sorry, I know I'm not always the clearest. :)

Virtually no one could afford air travel prior to the 1960s, that's a very large part of my point. It got affordable in the 70s and very affordable in the 80s.

In the UK, at some point during the 80s, it became normal for almost every single working family to get on a plane and go somewhere sunny once a year for two weeks. Every year. Minimum.

They were and still are given a choice. I can fly from London to New York on British Airways first class or Easyjet. Consumers consistently choose the cheapest headline price.

Like you're some Greta Thumberg trying to make a valid point.

Concorde wasn't far off that sort of speed. But it was too expensive. Such speeds will probably return in some form one day.

Planes are three times faster, five times longer range and 95% cheaper per mile, in real terms, than those early days.

The consumer was given the choice and they chose this. Honestly, air travel is great.

Yes, capitalism sucks. I hate being nickle and dimed for hand luggage, lottery tickets, snacks, hidden booking fees and all that shit. Some gentle regulations would be really nice, just to curb the excess.

The polls were showing a substantial swing to Trump in the black vote since last time. Up to around 30%. Hopefully Harris can at least reverse that.

Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse”

Great, my money is good to go. I'll pay big for something that's easy to keep clean and doesn't have that horrible sticky rubber after a few years.

that requires a subscription

I'm out.

Episode numbering inconsistencies are the single best weapon against the convenience of piracy..

Hey! Some of us proudly identify as creepy over here!

We definitely don't need vigilantes.

Remove the teenager and just automate the tank. What could possibly go wrong??

I don't always think replay value is essential as long as the experience is golden. We're only half way through Obra Dinn and it's blowing us away.

The voice acting is especially awesome.
