@BlabberingC What's a rotor?

@NoahKingJr Yo momma

Who is this? (Wrong answers only)

@TheGriftReport Notice the scare factor 'bleeding from her eyes' and 'collapsed and was gone in hours'

20-YEAR-OLD STUDENT DIED 'BLEEDING FROM HER EYES' FROM MENINGITIS B PARENTS THOUGHT VACCINE PROTECTED HER! Sophie Ward collapsed and was gone in hours after flu-like symptoms, her devastated parents had no idea the standard MenACWY jab she received doesn't cover the deadly Men B strain. Now they're demanding the MenB vaccine be rolled out to ALL young people so no other family suffers this agony. This comes as a fresh meningitis outbreak tears through Kent universities, killing multiple students. What do you think of this vaccine push?

@Geniustechw Materialistic idiots.

A Muslim woman explains what Muslims will get in heaven: “Allah will reward men with 72 virgins. But women will be young & beautiful. We will live in gold palaces. Allah will give us silk clothes, diamonds & slaves to serve us for eternity. Thoughts?

@bitplane @exQUIZitely The days of disks with magazines.

Those under construction files came on cover CDs from magazines in the late 90s and early 2000s, as web clip art collections. Because the files were so small and the disks were so big, there was a whole cottage industry of people making them to fill the space. I spent around 12 months buying CDs from eBay, ripping them and uploading them to @internetarchive using a custom CD ripping pipeline. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you can find my stash of ~500 discs here: @gareth_davidson/lists/1/magazine-coverdisks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archive.org/details/@garet… It is, ironically, "under construction" - stalled until I find more large collections of magazine CDs that are cheap enough to be worth spending the money, and might contain stuff that Brewster's librarians don't have. Eventually I plan to post the entire lot to IA for long-term storage.

I dabbled a bit with homepages in the 90s. Not on a professional level or for commercial projects, but mainly for setting up a Dungeons & Dragons page for our group and later a private homepage. It was certainly a Wild West vibe back then, with some of the most cringeworthy websites - including mine, I’m sure. Typical elements of any amateur site included: 1) The counter (“You are visitor number…”) 2) The “under construction” GIF 3) The email GIF 4) Link4Link exchange banners Some counters incremented +1 on every page reload, so you could easily inflate your numbers. Others were a bit more advanced and only counted real visits. Some had the most "oh God, my eyes!" layouts and worst color choices, such as red font on blue backgrounds, the eternal sin. As cringe as they look from today’s perspective, I’d love to have kept mine, just for shits and giggles. Did you have your own site? If so, what was it for?

@Kekius_Sage Obviously.

Can faith exist without evidence?

@Ford_Nick Tofu

Name one thing better than a ribeye..

@chalkey1973 Must be expensive then.

A mate of mine who's a joiner priced a job up to supply and fit a full house of doors, told customers 50 % up front to cover materials. The rest on completion. Customers went to the Halifax bank in town today. Bank wouldn't transfer payment . Stating this could be fraud

@Kekius_Sage What do you mean "still"

If everything you wanted was given to you, would life still feel meaningful?

@redpillb0t The labour party

I’ll start: Seed Oils

@mitchellvii It's not the engine's fault your 'mechanic' misdiagnosed the issue.

Well, I dropped a thousand bucks getting all new spark plugs and ignition coils on my BMW 650. I was hoping this would fix the drivetrain error and the fact that the thing is in "limp mode." That means at low speed, it chugs like it's gonna die. The mechanic told me that he was also seeing some errors with the high pressure fuel valves. Apparently, these are something that causes the engine to spray fuel into the motor at high pressures to deal with the turbo and all that. Anyway, long story short, fixing the plugs and the coils didn't solve the problem. Now I've got to drop another $1,500 on the fuel valves. So now I'm into this thing for about $2,500. 😥 That's the problem with these eight-cylinder twin turbo engines. It's just a matter of time before they COST you. It's too bad because I was planning to sell this car and get something newer, but now I have to do the repairs first, because nobody's going to buy it chugging down the street.

@sciencegirl Greed.

What keeps the world from being peaceful

@TheGriftReport When is he being deported?

"MASTERS IN ENERGY" ASYLUM SEEKER STEALS £11K OF LAPTOPS WHILE CLAIMING HE WAS STUDYING! Algerian Youcef Aliouat, 32, entered Britain on a student visa, overstayed, claimed asylum (later rejected) and told authorities he was doing a master’s in renewable energy. Instead he ran a brazen theft spree in City of London pubs, using an accomplice to distract boozy workers at places like The Banker and The Oyster Shed before swiping nine high-end laptops worth £11,050. He flogged them cheap to Algerian contacts. Jailed for 18 months at London Crown Court and banned from the Square Mile for five years. Britain’s broken asylum system at work again!

@AlboMP "Australia's diversity is our strength". How? Give examples, also explain how Australia was weak before diversity.

Australia's diversity is our strength. And I’m proud our team is as diverse as the communities we represent. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, all making us a better government. On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we’re committed to making sure every Australian feels safe and respected. No matter what language you speak, or what faith you practice.

@TMZ This is sad news. Will he be carrying his own coffin?

@Vsjjpj1557 @DonnaLouise1212 not that easy in england against the local government 'homes are full, have to go where there is a place'

@SteveSims_HS @DonnaLouise1212 No a lot of people dont I hear you its horrible, however your point of your mum being in a scruffy home with awful food, you know and could have addressed that couldn't you?

Ive just had to pay for an old ladies shopping in Aldi. The poor woman only had £5 & her shopping was 8.97. I could see she was extremely embarrassed passing things back to the cashier, it was heartbreaking. Meanwhile illegal invaders are given hotels, meals, & cash which they use for gambling & booze. What an absolute piss take. This & the previous government should hang their heads in shame!

@BROKENBRITAIN0 deported now?

@colonelhogans "You just proved Pauline Hanson, Angus Taylor, the RW media and every 'racist' and 'Islamaphobe' correct!" Fixed it for you.

Congratulations to the Muslims in Lakemba who forced the PM to leave the mosque. You just played right into Pauline Hanson, Angus Taylor, the RW media and every racist and Islamaphobes hands! You really and truly fucked it up! He went there in good faith. You spat on him and the racists are cheering! YOU HAVE LOST MY SUPPORT!

@AvonandsomerRob go to morrisons and 20% off fishcounter on Fridays. Get a chunck of cod for £10 and cook it at home.

My local Chippy is charging £18.50 for a large Haddock, Chips & mushy peas. Are you cutting down your visits to the chippy on Fridays, or switching out the fish for a sausage or pie to save cash?

@TheGriftReport at least he cant cliam UC with that much in savings.

"FEAR OF REJECTION" LIDL WORKER WINS £45K PAYOUT AFTER DEFYING BOSS ON SAFETY! Ryan Toghill secretly used heavy powered pallet trucks at the Ystrad Mynach store, despite his manager explicitly banning him for safety reasons. Sacked for gross misconduct, he sued claiming his ADHD caused crippling “fear of rejection” sensitivity, making him appear totally remorseless in the disciplinary hearing. Cardiff employment tribunal ruled unfair dismissal, Lidl failed to make reasonable adjustments for his condition. He’s been handed £45,147 compensation. Britain’s workplaces officially run on feelings now!
