  1. Not everyone will be onboard. The critics of those who don't accept it should accept that fact. At the end of the day it doesn't matter, it passed parliament and is now law.
  2. 2020 We'll fix it next year. 2021 We'll fix it next year. 2022 We'll fix it next year. 2023 We'll fix it next year. 2024 We'll fix it next year. 2025 We'll fix it next year. 2026 We'll fix it next year. 20nn We'll fix it next year.
  3. We'll be there by mid-century and then they can stop this nonsensical "renewables" which are anything but. I expect commercial fusion to be online by 2050.
  4. Someone was burning plastic tonight. They just wait for the evening.
  5. I expect he'll exit prison feet first unless placed in protective custody.
  6. I'm surprised he wasn't fined 50 quid and released, after which any citizens who criticizes the government would be throw in prison for 5 to 10 years. The UK has seriously lost the plot.
  7. That's not quite "being released to the public."
  8. Good. Now let's see if the term, "Conspiracy Theorist," holds up under the scrutiny of published facts?
  9. This seems to be the new look at the bottom of the AN website.
  10. Things are going to change, and I believe that the status-quo needed a swift kick right to the seat of the pants, and Trump 2.0 has brought that. I consider that a good thing. Now, whether that will usher in good change or bad change? I guess we'll see. I consider good change to be swinging the social pendulum toward conservatism. For example - this BS about throwing people in prison or firing them for not using "proper pronoun" had to end. That change is now being implemented in the US as you had a tiny fraction of a minority of people demanding huge changes in the social fabric of societies to accommodate them, as well as discovering that Western world leader who were jumping onboard to use these moronic new laws - like forcing the entire public to use "proper pronouns" for the gender confused by threatening members of the public with prison and fines - all in order to push an autocratic agenda and then label it "democracy." That's now drawing to an end. My guess is the Trump Administration will pull federal funds from universities and federal contractors who insist on maintaining the woke agenda, but, money hunger universities WILL capitulate out of greed alone. And then pressure will be applied through threat of "tariffs" if other Western leaders don't fall into line. And voters are about to oust these woke autocrats from their leadership positions in the UK, Commonwealth countries, and the UK. I consider that all to be good. However, I'm sure Jingthing and the rest of the progressive members in my Ignore List will disagree. Sorry guys, but the social pendulum is swinging back to the right. Those of us in the middle of the political road or who are conservatives are not "Far-Right-Wing Fascist Nazis" no matter how many times you insist we are. And by keeping up that rhetoric you only highlight how polarized and radicalized to the Far-Left that you people are yourselves. It's a new dawn. "Woke" is going to have a different meaning as in awoken to a new conservative social paradigm. Join us as brothers and sisters - we don't hate you.
  11. Bulk Carrier Paralyzed On Lake Erie As Ice Coverage Exceeds 50-Year Trend "Then came 'Old Man Winter,' unleashing a polar vortex across the eastern half of the US, bringing record-low temperatures in some regions. Multiple winter storms traversed the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, including an incredibly rare snowstorm that battered New Orleans (bordering Gulf of America waters) that nearly surpassed a snowstorm last seen 130 years ago." https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/bulk-carrier-paralyzed-lake-erie-ice-coverage-exceeds-50-year-trend Climate activists 1990 to 2010 "Global Warming is going to end the world in a decade. Prepare to meet your doom!" Climate activists 2020 "Global Warming Climate Change is going to end the world in a decade. Prepare to meet your doom!" Climate activists 2025 "Global Freezing is going to end the world in a decade. Prepare the Snow Piercer trains!" Yeah - you can only be saved if you send all your earnings to Al Gore and the WEF...oh - and eat bugs.
  12. Good - I hope they enjoy their new careers elsewhere outside of the government.
  13. You'd think eh? But instead, the population is thinking, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Most of you people have no understanding of anything outside of Western culture and Western norms. The Middle East is a foreign wasteland of "camel-riding rag-heads with curved knives" to most of you. Ya'll have a singularly unitary world-view which is biased to the point that it fails to reflect actual realities.
  14. "ragtag army" The danger in denigrating an enemy is that it creates the illusion that they are but a minor inconvenience that can be easily subdued by a superior force and swept aside with 2000 lb bombs and "God on it's side." The manner in which the IDF conducts itself in Gaza has consequences, one of which is that those Palestinians who have lost everything have nothing else to lose - so they join Hamas as fighters. Well, everyone in that neck of the woods are all killing each other in the name of God...which is why I'm an anti-war Buddhist: No god to kill for, no war culture to die for, with perhaps the exception of the Shaolin monks of old. "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not." -- Jeremiah 5:21
  15. Minimal - this order was strange - under $40 and shipped free, so no import tax, only 7% VAT. It's a one-off.
  16. My last iHerb order showed up in six day. That's a record!
  17. Well, you pushed NATO right up against the Russian border while verbalizing a Western/NATO foreign policy objective over the last 3 decades that seeks the strategic defeat and break-up of Russia considering it wasn't accomplished in the 1990s as planned. What do you expect? If Russia/China/Iran formed a military alliance with Central American countries and Mexico, and moved arms and missiles to the US border - really, what would the US do? You know the answer. You'd do what the US and NATO countries do: Invoke the trope via all available media sources that the US was planning to invade Central and South America and not stop until they reach southern-most Chili. And then mass your forces and stoke tensions until you got your invasion. The domino effect BS spouted during the Vietnam War was just that - propaganda. So is the fear-mongering about Russia planning to invade Europe. It's the other way around - it's very much been NATO's intention of invading Russia either directly or via asymmetrical warfare. The Ukraine SMO is just the casus belli. The strategic defeat and breakup of Russia is the foreign policy objective. "You're Putin's <Xi, Kim, Khamenei>'s puppet!!! Aggghhh!" Nope - just an old anti-war vet who seen this rodeo before. The most blatant imperialists are those who cast all other countries has having imperial intentions, and then projects their own imperial intentions on to others while wrapping themselves in olive branches adored with doves while holding 2000 lb bombs and nukes in their hands. The US doesn't want peace. Forever War is a muli-$100-Billion dollar industry in the US. There is no profit in peace. The next four years will see business as usual in regard to US foreign policy and war.
  18. The Thai forests in Northern Thailand will be on fire soon to clear underbrush for rainy season mushrooms - and nobody will see anything.
  19. Gotta send the Brit treasury to Ukraine. Ukie officials need more personal bling. In the meanwhile - UK citizens get the shaft.
  20. Thank goodness you don't have these rattling around in your brain. or worse! Your welcome!
  21. Personally I have no problems with trans people. The trans community in many case assimilates well into Thai society. And they should be allowed to assimilate into other countries. Want I can't abide by is trans activism in the form of laws that require you to use "proper pronouns" or allow biological males to beat the hell out of women competitors in sports or force women to shut up and allow some swinging dick to shower with women...and worse...girls - all at the threat of prison if you don't comply. Those days of trans activism have to end. At least in the US they have ended for 4 more years.
