@dodgygardener I’m no tradesman, but I used to sell more car body filler to woodworkers than to panel beaters. It’s half the price and is easier to sand, apparently.

This is a good one. Math was always an intuition but required writing it down if really complex. But the more I think about it the better I got the more it was intuition. Someone says a multiplication problem I just felt the answer and knew. Reading. Or writing. The monologue is there. If I have the read super quick , it just reads super quick. Funny enough there’s no upper bound on the speed.

Storing eggs in the fridge is just wrong. They are safe to store at ambient temperature and that gives you extra fridge space for stuff that actually needs to be refrigerated.

@onthemark329 @Cat5SMASHICANE @emma6USA I saw a US park ranger talking about making things bear-proof. He said “I discovered there’s a significant overlap in intelligence between the smartest bears, and the dummest people.”

Nothing out of the ordinary hair. This man is just showing us his pet Cobra that is still fully loaded with venom. He puts a lot of trust in that thing.

@ChefReactions @AaronAndHounds Make the best of it and go to a different game. Not the same as seeing Arsenal, but even the lower leagues will be orders of magnitude better than anything in America. There’s loads of teams in and just outside of London.

@KemiBadenoch If the previous government hadn’t spent 14 years gutting our armed forces (including halving the order of Type-45s), we’d be in a far better position to project power.

Starmer is doing too little, too late. Italy, Spain, the Netherlands are sending ships to defend Cyprus. HMS Dragon won’t leave Portsmouth for a week. It can’t shoot down Iran’s drones from The Channel. Our bases and allies are under attack. We must act in our national interest.

Be aware that people's entire belief systems are crashing. People are realizing so many things they've been told are a lie. Friendships are ending, divorces are happening. If you feel more alone than ever, it's a sign you're getting emotionally healthy.

British warplanes and troops have shot down multiple drones in the Middle East as the UK says it will send a Royal Navy warship and helicopters to better defend its forces in Cyprus. F-35 jets – the Royal Air Force’s most expensive fighter aircraft – blasted much cheaper unmanned aerial vehicles out of the sky in Jordan in a sign of the US and Israeli war against Iran escalating. It is the first time the British F35s have struck a target on operations. Also, in the past 24 hours, a unit of ground troops armed with counter-drone weapons took out more drones in Iraqi airspace threatening coalition forces, while a Typhoon jet terminated a one-way attack drone threatening Qatar, using an air-to-air missile, according to the Ministry of Defence. That missile would have been many times more expensive than the drone – underlining how sophisticated warplanes are not the most cost-effective way to eliminate hostile drones. Concerned about the threat posed by Iran’s arsenal of missiles and unmanned aircraft, Sir Keir Starmer said the Royal Navy would deploy HMS Dragon, a Type 45 destroyer, to bolster defences around RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and across the Gulf. The warship, based in Portsmouth, has the ability to shoot down ballistic and cruise missiles. It is expected to set sail as soon as Wednesday but will take between five to seven days to arrive in the conflict area. In addition, the UK is sending two Wildcat helicopters armed with counter-drone missiles to the region. “We are moving quickly to further reinforce our defensive presence in the Eastern Mediterranean,” John Healey, the defence secretary, said. “HMS Dragon brings world-class air defence capability, and our Wildcat helicopters are armed with Martlet missiles to counter the growing drone threat.

@peterfrankopan Nor can the US sustain that kind of missile expenditure for long. The lead time on manufacturing drones is much shorter than that of a PAC-3. Also much cheaper.

137 missiles fired today by Iran at UAE - of which 132 intercepted 209 drones launched today - of which 195 shot down. Says a lot about efficiency of defence systems. Also worth noting: Iran won’t be able to keep these volumes going for long.

Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei was a monster and deserves death. That does not mean I support the US entering a major war and taking out the leader of another nation, yet again, when we were promised the opposite. Why is it so hard for Republicans to understand that each of the above are not mutually exclusive to one another?
