  1. Unbelievable hubris - never participated in the democratic process before, but decides he's going to run for president. Someone needs to send that Aphex-stealing chump back to the studio.
  2. I remember thinking the Union Jack was supposed to be symmetrical and finding out a very long time ago that it wasn’t (first visited the UK in ‘79). I was very surprised. But every flag I saw flown at “official places” touristy spots had the asymmetrical Union Jack.
  3. Boris Johnson accused of 'giving in to scientific advisers' as England heads for lockdown
  4. Been reading a lot of articles while working (or instead of lol) This is a good one one Palantir (thought provoking). https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/21/magazine/palantir-alex-karp.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab A good one in general on social media, the internet, and the intersection of those two with public life. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2020/11/05/how-the-awful-stuff-won/?utm_source=pocket-newtab And a good personal interest story on a woman formerly married to a Texan who had converted to Islam. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-convert
  5. a) I think we're about the same age (I'm 46) b) I only keep coming back cause I love and care about you and will continue to try and help you understand that human memory is very fallible.
  6. I remember promising myself not to engage in this thread anymore...sigh.
  7. Yeah she was quite shocked - but she didn't say "I remember it this way, so obviously the new way must be wrong." Oh and here's an explanation why the Union Jack is asymmetrical. Turns out it has to do with silly rules of heraldry: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/5n6urt/eli5why_are_the_red_lines_on_the_british_flag_not/
  8. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a34372005/solar-cheapest-energy-ever/
  9. Yes that was part of the article I linked. Others aren't so sure. The point is that we learn new things about our world every day, so I'm not sure why you're so surprised about learning about new things that people spend their lives studying (like you learning about foramina) that you didn't know about.
  10. Basically me too, I hate having notifications on on my phone, and almost always forget to browse SoundCloud.
  11. Just popped in to say that r cazt makes me pop off an @modey take it easy on zee germans. Mein gott! They've apologised for zee Hoff enough. Das ist ein groß nein!
  12. Scientists discover new organ in the throat (maybe).
  13. LOL I've been watching a lot of Parks & Rec while I work from home, I thought this was an outtake from an episode I hadn't seen or something.
  14. I enjoyed the shit out of the new Borat movie. Some serious scenes of discomfort. Much laughter.
  15. I didn't know where to post this, but beyond the 14 people charged in the attempt to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, an individual has been arrested for threatening to kidnap the mayor of Wichita because of a mask mandate, a man in Maryland has been arrested on charges of threatening Biden and Harris, and a North Carolina man was arrested on charges of child porn and found with weapons and explosives and was allegedly plotting to assassinate Biden. Y'all are just just freeing it up down there.
  16. I mean maybe, but they dominated Atletico, without playing Gnabry, Sane, or Davies. And dealing with Michael Oliver's awful decisions.
  17. So they support Trump (because he's a useful puppet) but don't think Trump orgs can spend money wisely (cause they're a bunch of fucking idiots).
  18. Doesn't matter, Bayern is going to win it again.
  19. Unlike the United victory today (8/10), I give this troll effort a 3.5/10. Also, Lazio looked very impressive in their win over Dortmund, and Juve looked fucking bored as they stomped all over poor Dynamo Kyiv. I didn't bother watching Barca trounce whoever the fuck they were playing.
  20. Changed the thread title, cause it doesn't get enough posts to warrant a thread for each one. But CL is back on boys! Well chuffed at the result tonight. Neymar can fucking do one.
  21. Can't fool me, I know you would have registered the'chre.ae ? Still U @Alcofribas
  22. Damn that hour and six minutes went way too fast. Putting it back on for another spin. But after a first listen, this might be AOTY for me.
  23. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/17/kevin-van-ausdal-qanon-marjorie-greene-georgia/?arc404=true Kind of interesting read on the poor guy who decided to run as a democrat in Georgia.
