Israel's Netanyahu rejected ceasefire-for-hostages deal in Gaza, sources say

  • And when evidence later emerges that they were killed by the Israeli military (for example).. theyll just shrug their shoulders

    • "Wave of murder, rape and domestic violence": Russian women living in fear as Wagner’s convicted murderers return home as free men

  • This is one of the main issues with all new builds in London.

    There's plenty of places going up but they're all being sold to overseas investors as buy to let and do it keeps making rents exorbitant for locals.

  • A friend who is into ultra endurance cycling competed in the TransCon last year.

    He rides a Brompton in sandals!

    He's also completed the PanCeltic Race multiple times as well as the Trans Atlantic Way

    • Songs you later found out were covers.

    Jump

  • Little bit of pop trivia for you.....

    The version that was covered by Tight Fit that was an 80s one hit wonder in the UK, was produced by Tim Friese-Greene.

    He also produced "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby and was also a co-writer, producer and player on Talk Talk's final three albums!

  • One that I was surprised to learn that I like to share is Grace Jones 'Private Life' was originally by The Pretenders.

    Hynde is quoted as saying: Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote "Private Life". When I first heard Grace's version I thought 'Now that's how it's supposed to sound!' In fact it was one of the highpoints of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery.

    Not really a cover but it used such a huge chunk that it pretty much is...

    Beyonce "Crazy In Love" is basically The Chi-lites "Are You My Woman"

    • A confused Dianne Feinstein tried to give a speech in the middle of a Senate hearing vote and was told to 'just say aye' instead

    Jump

  • Feinstein’s primary caregiver: Pelosi’s daughter

    Pelosis eldest daughter is reportedly taking care of the 89-year-old Democrat, raising concerns that Pelosi is blurring the lines between friendship and politics.

    Nancy Pelosi reportedly blamed 'the left' and sexism for intense scrutiny of Dianne Feinstein's health

    Pelosi is keeping Feinstein in place so she can swap her out for Schiff instead of having two other candidates who would be interim replacements that are more left wing and not (so much) under her control.

  • I don't think she has enough consistent cognitive functionality to know wtf is going on really.

    She's being propped up by Pelosi rather than being allowed to decompose horizontally with dignity.

    It's indicative of just how corrupt the political class is in every western country

  • The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn't have the cash to pay them

  • The thing Elon fails to understand is that someone didn’t just write Twitter on one go and gift it on to the world.

    He did actually say at once point about scraping all the code base & starting from scratch!

    • Windows won't dominate enterprise in a decade, says outgoing Jamf CEO

    Jump

  • Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it's not really going to happen.

    Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

    Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren't happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

    • What's the story behind your username?

    Jump

  • I would tell anecdotes and stories but would constantly go off at a tangent. Someone said I had "Tangentism".

    • DAE dislike the term "neurodivergent" as applied to ADHD?

    Jump

  • The term “neurodivergent” implies that there’s nothing wrong with you if you have ADHD–you’re just special and different.

    I think that's definitely something you've inferred but is not necessary implied.

    For me, it perfectly describes a wide range of neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, et al. It describes a threshold that makes those different from neuro-diversity to where that person has a disorder that impacts their daily life.

    Conversely, I feel that the term 'neurotypical' implies that theres nothing wrong with that person when those who are NT, tend to not say what they mean, talk in riddles and hold some very strange assumed opinions about things as well as considering themselves to be normative, very much to the detriment of those they think are outside the parameters they set in their minds.

    “Mental illness” is really the only other option

    That would imply there is a cure, which there absolutely is not, and that there is a normative 'well' condition.
