Before Thatcherism introduced the idea that everyone should own a home, council housing was there to provide a good home to anyone who wanted it. Affordable rent, modern amenities and upkeep, as well as the ability to pass the tenancy of the home to your children. If you needed or wanted to move area, another council house should be available for you. The concept was amazing. Then the notion was ingrained in the culture that people had to own their own homes, the councils were forced to sell their housing stock cheaply, given no money to replace it and, voilà, we have todays housing market. But we can all rest easy knowing that the private property developers that lobbied the change are happy, right?

Also, introduce a law that any ex local authority property being used as an Airbnb instantly reverts to council ownership.

The main driver of population growth is people living longer. The problem with less babies being born means less young labourers for all the old fucks to exploit. Logan’s Run would be a better sci-fi system to adopt.

It doesn’t matter how you cook it, cooking it thoroughly will kill the bacteria. However, some bacteria leave toxins behind and cooking won’t get rid of those. Basically don’t eat rotten meat, the best way to tell if it’s rotten is looking for discolouration and it smelling really bad, although this can also be a good thing in some aged meats like game or beef. BTW, beef turning brown when the packet is opened is normal. Supermarkets fill the packets with inert gas to artificially keep the meat looking red.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. If you have to click through 10 shitty videos before finding the one you’re looking for, that’s 10x more engagement to sell to advertisers.

We should probably stop using that word and just call it by it’s proper name, "Capitalism”. The only way for an ad revenue based business to drive growth is to force more and more ads on users, and flood their platform with bots to increase engagement numbers.

I imagine it’s a typo but, given the spikes in Grindr use around MAGA events, it probably still works.

I hope you’re not from the US or the UK because I have some bad news for you…

That’s link showed me how surprisingly progressive the confederacy was. Who knew Mississippi had an army of the Trans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Trans-Mississippi

Edit. Cute flag too.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.

Of the top of my head, IIRC the blades in a turbine are grown into a single crystal of titanium so there’s no weak points between the crystalline structure.

Not titanium, nickel alloy.

I’m not entirely convinced it didn’t go right through his ear and out the other.

Anything from Amazon.

Thanks for the update Internet Explorer.

How immigrants really are

Because doctors, nurses, firefighters and police have plenty of spare time to train and supervise uninterested and untrained 18 year olds.

Knifes because that’s what one keeps in their prison wallet, and lightbulbs because one is looking for something else up there.
