If Ford can't produce attractive products with its foreign rivals' products attracting a 15% additional charge, it shouldn't be in business.

The Lake District has two in one - mountains and lakes. No need for Switzerland and Italy.

However, they fiddled the criteria, so Roma/gypsies/travellers/thieving, murderous scum are now classified as white British. https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/uk-population-by-ethnicity/national-and-regional-populations/regional-ethnic-diversity/latest/

It's not that simple. Mass immigration from third world countries was initiated in the 50s & 60s so that capitalist fat cats could have cheap labour. The British people were never consulted about this and never agreed to it. Without the consent of the British people, the immigrants will never be universally accepted and should not be accepted as British.

Nearly 40% are foreign nationals. What about the other sex attackers who have acquired British citizenship, either by themselves or through descent? Rather than reporting by nationality, statistics should be produced by ethnicity. This would clear up the stereotype that certain races are more inclined to sexual assault than native British people. (Or perhaps not.)

Is that Fortran IV, the programming language from 1961?

Just like Rybelsus, L'Osem is available in 3/7/14 mg. The fact sheets say it should not be cut. My best guess is that this is because the tablet needs to sit in the stomach and dissolve in a small area to create a patch of high acidity to allow the active ingredient to be absorbed. Even 14 mg Rybelsus/L'Osem is unlikely to be particularly effective for weight loss. Indeed, the Rybelsus website states "RYBELSUS® is not indicated for weight loss." That's why the Rybelsus manufacturer (Novo Nordisk) is currently in the process of licensing a 56 mg version.

recent paper titled "Conspiracy Believers are Dispositionally Overconfident and Massively Overestimate How Much Others Agree With Them" makes an interesting read. Apparently: "Although conspiratorial claims were believed by a majority of participants only 12% of the time, believers thought themselves to be in the majority 93% of the time." and "conspiracists are genuinely unaware that their beliefs are on the fringe" Also "The people who most need help distinguishing truth from falsity are the least likely to recognize that they need it." The original paper is at https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01461672251338358 but is paywalled. A decent writeup is at https://phys.org/news/2025-06-overconfident-conspiracy-theorists-unaware-beliefs.html

Which car brand is higher status? And was it always thus? Back in 1970 Janis Joplin sang "Oh Lord, won't you buy me/a Mercedes Benz?/My friends all drive Porsches/I must make amends" which leads me to think that the Benz was higher status then, which is the opposite of what I'd assumed. Any thoughts?

If the Chinese can do it, so can the Thais: "prepare a mould, then mix the right amounts of resin, starch, coagulant and pigments to make egg white. Sodium alginate, extracted from brown algae, gives the egg white the wanted viscosity. Then add the fake egg yolk, a different mix of resin and pigments. Once the proper shape is achieved, an amalgamate of paraffin wax, gypsum powder and calcium carbonate makes for a credible shell." https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/06/how-to-make-a-rotten-egg/

Since these "asylum seekers" didn't seek asylum in the first safe country they passed through, they are automatically illegal immigrants and deserve to be treated as such. My solution: build a giant trebuchet in Dover and immediately toss them back to France.

I find a whole pill of Codiphen leaves me feeling woozy in the morning, so I go for a half pill. Curiously, Phenz (even though it's twice the dose) doesn't. I take one or the other 3 or 4 times a week. I can usually predict when I'm going to have trouble falling asleep. I've been using them for several months now, with no loss of effectiveness. (Previously I tried more "natural" products such as l-theanine, melatonin, and found them ineffective.)

Just another distraction from the true "tremendous scandal" of Trump in the Epstein files.

I'm sorry that you think that. Maybe standards of etiquette are lower in Liverpool.
