name one thing this country gave to the world

@HannahIamthest1 I heard this story over 50 years ago as a student working a summer job at Heathrow...and it was British Airways, not Rolls Royce ..

Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the Windshields of their new high speed trains.. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow.. The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. You're going to love this...... Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: "Defrost the chicken." 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly Pope Leo XIV is about the only person I would trust at this point in time.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@quotesdaily100 My partner is hospice nurse, she works a few nights a week...don't know how she does this work but families love her...and I do too...and am very proud of her.

WHAT ICU NURSES KNOW ABOUT THE LAST HOURS OF LIFE THAT FAMILIES ARE NEVER PREPARED FOR: 1. Hearing is the last sense to go. Many patients can hear everything being said in the room long after they appear unconscious. Nurses know this. Most families do not act like it. 2. The body does not shut down all at once. It withdraws blood and oxygen from the extremities first, working inward toward the heart. The cold hands and feet you notice are the body making a final decision about what to protect. 3. A sudden, unexpected improvement in energy and alertness hours before death is not a good sign. Nurses recognize it immediately. Families almost always mistake it for recovery. 4. The sound called the death rattle is not pain. It is simply the throat relaxing and losing muscle control. But no amount of medical explanation prepares a family for hearing it for the first time. 5. Most people do not die during the night. The body has a biological rhythm and many deaths occur in the early hours of morning, between 3am and 5am, when the nervous system is at its lowest. 6. Patients often wait. Nurses have watched people hold on for days until a specific person arrives, or a specific word is spoken, or permission is quietly given to let go. It happens too consistently to be coincidence. 7. The words "we did everything we could" are sometimes true and sometimes the most painful half-truth a family will ever receive without knowing it. 8. Families who are not present at the moment of death carry guilt that no counselor fully resolves. Nurses see this guilt begin forming in real time and cannot always stop it. 9. The face relaxes completely at the moment of death in a way that is impossible to describe until you have seen it. Nurses say it looks like the person finally put something down they had been carrying for a very long time. 10. Many ICU nurses privately believe that the most painful deaths are not the ones with the most physical suffering. They are the ones where the patient dies surrounded by family members who are fighting with each other. 11. The thing families almost never say, but almost always should, is simply this: it is okay to go. Those four words, spoken out loud, do something that medicine cannot explain and nurses have witnessed more times than they can count. 12. Nurses grieve too. They learn the names, the histories, the family dynamics, and the small personal details of every patient. They cry in break rooms, in parking lots, and on drives home. Then they walk back in the next morning and do it all over again, because someone has to, and they chose to be that person.

Not one single protestor was hurt over 5 days. Not a scratch. Not one. The Army - unlike in the US - was not deployed. A few army heavy vehicle tow trucks were on standby to open up access to an oil refinery.

Conor, the only people responding positively to your nonsensical - thick as pig shite videos - are American. You're a joke at home.

Sad to hear of the passing of Moya (Maire) Brennan from Clannad. Such a talented songwriter and musician. Never actually watched Harry's Game, but like many children of the 80s, the theme is etched in the memory… thanks to that beautiful, ethereal voice.

BREAKING: A Catholic priest unleashes a viral takedown of Donald Trump after he attacked Pope Leo and posted an image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man. This is an absolute must-read for every American... "You are only a man @realDonaldTrump, and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants," Father Joseph DeMarzo of the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey wrote on X. "You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism," he continued. "My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did." "In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of 'self-defense,'" Father DeMarzo continued. "But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened." "You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest," he wrote "What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross." Father DeMarzo went on to question Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines. He said that "questions and debates" remain about the vaccines and while we don't agree with that assessment, it was Trump who brought up COVID protocols during his attack on Leo. And, as DeMarzo pointed out, Trump was president when COVID hit. "Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent," the priest wrote. "We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, don’t think I’ll be silent. I only fear God." Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!

Paul Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: “I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.”

@NoContextBrits A rubbish bin

What’s missing from this breakfast?

Demasiado acertado como para no compartirlo, “Respuesta aussie al exabrupto de Trump sobre la OTAN no estando ahí para nosotros. Amigo. Tú diriges un país con 600.000 personas sin hogar durmiendo en la calle esta noche. Un país donde el 40% de los adultos no puede cubrir una emergencia de $400 sin pedir prestado dinero. Un país donde la insulina cuesta más que una cuota de coche y la gente la raciona para sobrevivir. Un país donde la deuda médica es la causa número 1 de quiebras. Un país donde las mujeres mueren en los aparcamientos de los hospitales porque los médicos tienen demasiado miedo de las leyes del aborto para tratar un aborto espontáneo. Tú encierras a más de tus propios ciudadanos que cualquier nación en la Tierra. Más que China. Más que Rusia. Más que Corea del Norte. La tierra de los libres tiene a 2 millones de personas enjauladas, y un cuarto de ellos ni siquiera han sido condenados por nada. Solo son demasiado pobres para pagar la fianza. Tu esperanza de vida va hacia atrás. Eres la única nación desarrollada donde eso está pasando. Tu tasa de mortalidad infantil es peor que la de Cuba. Tus niños hacen simulacros de tiradores activos entre matemáticas e inglés mientras tú vendes acciones de fabricantes de armas a tus amigos. Tu salario mínimo no se ha movido en 15 años. Tienes maestros trabajando en 2 empleos y veteranos durmiendo bajo puentes y acabas de gastar un billón de dólares arrasando un país que no te atacó. Y tienes a un delincuente condenado, juzgado por violación, protector de pedófilos, follador de estrellas del porno, insurrecto que dirige la mayor campaña de guerra de incendio en contenedor desde que los talibanes te dieron las gracias de nuevo por perder. ¿Y tú llamas a Groenlandia mal dirigida? Groenlandia tiene atención sanitaria universal. Educación gratuita. Una de las tasas de encarcelamiento más bajas del mundo. Nadie se arruina allí porque se enfermó. Nadie muere en una sala de espera porque su seguro dijo que no. "La OTAN no estuvo ahí cuando la necesitábamos." ¿Cuándo exactamente fue eso, campeón? ¿El 11 de septiembre? Porque la OTAN invocó el Artículo 5 por primera y única vez en la historia POR TI. Soldados de docenas de países se desplegaron, lucharon, sangraron y murieron en Afganistán POR TI. Australia ni siquiera estaba en la OTAN y aun así aparecimos. Durante 20 años. Y tú te retiraste a las 2 de la mañana sin decirle a nadie y los dejaste lidiando con el desastre. Así que tal vez antes de que empieces a llamar a otros países mal dirigidos, echa un vistazo a tu propio patio trasero, tú vendedor de revestimientos de aluminio con bronceado en spray. Lo único mal dirigido en esta imagen es tu puta boca. Crédito (tomado prestado de) Jim Scroggins - autor original 📷 desconocido”

Correct - millionaire farmers and contractors, led by people with convictions and disgusting racist views, blocking fuel supplies for emergency services was the final straw.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

Can't argue with this 👇👇

'I receive countless letters from children in areas of conflict.  In reading them, one perceives, through the lens of innocence, all the horror and inhumanity of actions that some adults boast of with pride.  Let us listen to the voices of children!' Pope Leo XIV

Prayer teaches us how to act. In prayer, our limited human possibilities are joined to the infinite possibilities of God. Thoughts, words and deeds then break the demonic cycle of evil and are placed at the service of the Kingdom of God. A Kingdom in which there is no sword, no drone, no vengeance, no trivialization of evil, no unjust profit, but only dignity, understanding and forgiveness. #PrayTogether #Peace
