It looks like Jordan Peterson got in a car crash and had to get a replacement left side of his suit from a scrapyard.

@PhilipOConnor5 @EuropeanRover Right, weeks are countable nouns, but using 'fewer' would imply that Starmer could only have exactly one or exactly two week's experience. When you say 'less than two weeks' you are allowing for the continuous and indeterminate amount of time between 0 and 2 weeks.
English
@EuropeanRover Hi Andy. Sorry, but I don't know what 'continuity ' has to do with it. It's a basic thing between countable and uncountable nouns (the only basic distinction in English, given there is no gender). And, most importantly it's a grammatical and not a semantic distinction.

Keir Starmer has been Prime Minister for less than two weeks. But, he looks like he was really born for this role - I have never seen another leader settle into this position so well.

@AylmerTH @lemonadelush Campbell is right; it's about the thing being measured. You can't have half a seat - it is a discrete quantity - therefore "fewer" is correct
English
@lemonadelush Campbell is wrong, "a handful" is not a discrete quantity

Loved Campbell correcting Nadine Dorries for using less instead of fewer

@espn_macmahon Luka actually said Herb Jones when he initially named his top three, not Derrick Jones Jr.
English
Luka Doncic re: Jaden McDaniels: “When you asked me about that top three, I forgot about McDaniels. I told you, some people are going to be pissed, but I forgot about him. But he's definitely in top three. He's been doing incredible defensively. He has long [arms], he can jump. So he's locked in, and it's going to be tough to go against him.”

Luka Doncic says Lu Dort is in the “top three” perimeter defenders in the league. Who else cracks that list? Doncic says Jrue Holiday and Mavs teammate Derrick Jones Jr.

@Keano_RL_ if your household wealth is >$100m it would be extremely unlikely to have to sell an asset to pay unrealised gains tax on it. Unless 100% of your wealth is tied up in assets, in which case your finances are fucked and you should sell off to generate liquidity anyway
English
Yeh, taxing unrealised gains is kind of weird logistically though because you get into situations where someone needs to sell the asset they owe unrealised gains tax on in order to pay for said tax, which in turn imposes another taxable event. So it actually turns into a ~45.1% unrealised gains tax, as they’ll have to sell ~45.1% of their asset, pay 44.6% capital gains tax on it, and then use the remaining 25% to pay for the unrealised gains tax.
English
@Keano_RL_ It's mostly clickbait for now - the footnote of a proposal mentions the possibility of another proposal. But the 25% tax on unrealised gains would only apply to households with wealth >$100m. It mitigates asset hoarding by billionaires which doesn't contribute towards the economy

BUSR F1 Winter 2023 Champion 🏆
Third uni year, third team, third championship. Despite only winning one race all season, I finished on the podium every race to secure another championship for @Kent_Esports, was a great season throughout 🥳

@SwitchRL Situations are not comparable. Ukraine is in a desperate situation highly dependent on aid from the US. The survival of Ukraine and its people is contingent on a good relationship with its allies, especially the US. The UK (and many others) abstaining is far more shameful.

Ukraine abstaining after begging countries constantly for support while in basically the same situation as Palestine

The UN has just voted 120-14 in favor of an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza. Those voting against peace: 🇺🇸USA 🇮🇱Israel 🇦🇹Austria 🇨🇿Czechia 🇫🇯Fiji 🇬🇹Guatemala 🇲🇭Marshall Islands 🇫🇲Micronesia 🇳🇷Nauru 🇵🇬Papua New Guinea 🇵🇾Paraguay 🇹🇴Tonga If you're wondering why all these tiny Pacific island nations voted "no" to peace, the reason is those are the only countries the US dollar could buy.

@Northernlion @chayse___ Wilt was a freak but the pace of play in the 1960s was much faster than modern Basketball: in the 1968 season there were (on average) around 120 possessions per 48 mins, compared to only about 100 today. Combine that with the shooting being (relatively) poor = a lot more rebounds
English
@chayse___ This dude really got 32 rebounds in one game?

I don't believe in lumping all of the middle east in together, Bahrain are one of the more progressive in the region, but lets not pretend this is anything other than bidding large sums to host an event 1000s of km away from its player/fanbase 🤡
