No, you’re thinking of NATO. But nobody should be shooting at UN forces. If the UN had any balls, they’d not have let Israel (or Hamasl) in there in the first place. Israel are just taking the piss now and they’ll continue until they’ve decided otherwise.
So very true 😸
I’m confused why they keep buying more reusable bags when they forget to bring some.
I see you’ve met my wife. I have about a dozen in the boot of my car. I even had one in my hand the other day but she still bought a couple in Asda. One of them didn’t even make it to the car!
It’s a constant struggle.
This has been going on in some form or another for quite some time. There is an excellent BBC documentary by David Dimblebly from a few years ago that is worth watching. He travelled across Russia and this was going on all over. Ex military in schools teaching weapons drill and love for the motherland. Nor sure when it changed from motherland to fatherland. Maybe when Putin decided to come out of the nazi closet.
Working my way through For All Mankind again. What a superb piece of TV that is. Magnificent. Also Slow Horses and lay night we started Bad Monkey. That’s pretty good as well.
Got to give Apple credit, they do make some good stuff. The quality and attention to detail is superb, even if the show is naff. I was very excited to hear they were making Foundation, and the quality was outstanding. Never finished the first series, it was like watching paint dry. Likewise Silo. Dark Matter? I didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode.
What a surprise!
Let them loose!
180 grand for the printer? Holy cack that’s peanuts. Just think what we could do if we spent the money on this sort of thing instead of giving it to politicians.
cheap phones with operating systems other than android.
Who please? All I know of are Apple, or Nothing Phone- they’re not cheap IMO.
Genuinely interested though, I’d love to deGoogle.
All the better for China then - they don’t give a flying friar about anyone else.
China doesn’t give a flying friar about anyone else. The fact that this could make launches difficult for them is neither here nor there.
They really don’t care.
I for one, welcome our new funghi overlords.
Can’t come soon enough.
Sorry to hear that.
Just accept it, Firefly’s never coming back 😉
Some of them must have been fairly long lived - they couldn’t have grown that large in just a few years. Several species of whale live over a 100 years. And then we have the Greenland shark living possibly up to 500 years and although not massive, their ancestors must have done something right as their descendants are still here over 400 million years later. Or perhaps they were just very good at hiding.
Because they are just really ignorant aren’t they?
Other connections to the Fediverse are on the way, apparently.
Same with the Hitchhikers stunt.
Superb work. Let’s see more of it.
