  • I accept that 100%. I've seen a decent bit the US and it's such an enormous lump of land with so many different people and cultures that anyone trying to lump them together into some homogenous mass is off their rocker.

    Sure you can travel an hour on a train in Europe and be in a totally different world culturally. The distance for those changes is bigger in the US but holy moly do they exist.

  • I'm only across the water in Ireland and I can tell you from experience that ambulances arrive quickly, are free and so is the treatment. The UK health system is measurably better than ours so I feel like this is plucked from somewhere that the sun doesn't shine.

  • Very first thought was "surely that's treason".

    I must look up the legal definition.

  • “Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said in a statement,

    Very concisely put. We're at that point. Trade is effectively shut down at this point between the two. My limited understanding is that on the US side this will hit farmers the hardest.

    Guess we're going to see a flood of cheap Chinese stuff in every other market in the world too soon.

  • Slice of ham, leaf of lettuce, coleslaw. Roll that sucker up like a little burrito. Nom nom nom.

  • It's in Ireland. A place called Drogheda. Pronounced dro-hed-a. The g is silent in Irish. Or if you're from there it's.... Drawwww da :) The accent there has a very soft drawl.

  • No mention of motivation. I don't understand why anyone would choose a random person to just utterly destroy like that. Like even though he's been found innocent can you imagine the horror of being told you were accused of that?

    Anyone read more elsewhere?

  • Check if there's a local Facebook page. I don't use it myself but my daughter lost her phone recently and my wife had someone contact her before she even realised it was gone.

  • Could someone tell me how she was able to walk out of the court having been sentenced to prison?

  • Ah yeah totally fair. To each their own.

    I did live in a city centre once a long time ago but I'd definitely be keeping the earplugs in all night if I were you now!

  • Yeah fair enough. I'm not using them in a work environment. I'm happy if I get an extra 20 minutes of sleep in the morning when all the noise from the teenage grooming starts. Sometimes it's 40.

    It sounds ridiculous but it all adds up.

    I grew up in the arse end of nowhere so any noise at all wakes me.

  • That is really impressive stuff. Well done. The detail on the ears, eyelashes etc. is all superb.

  • Those foam ones are really irritating after a while. Your local chemist may sell "mouldable silicone" ones that are cheap, better at sound isolation and way more comfortable. You basically just mash them into your ear and they form a perfect seal.

    I use them every night.

  • Lad I know whose nickname is milk bottle.
