@AcademicAgent_X Taught both, but only to demonstrate how expansion of brackets would work using real interger examples in the first instance. Then they substituted with letters...

Refuse to believe Americans are this retarded. This is Japanese propaganda.

@BBCNews Just think, 20 years from now.havig to ask someone 1 year older than you to buy cigarettes

@BBCNews I wonder if there are any smokers who look back and think, "Yep, I'm glad I got addicted to this at a young age." (Margaret enjoying her 40th birthday)

@baylissbaghdad "The Man" will continue inviting them whether the public are encouraged or not.

Is it right that the British public be asked to go on welcoming new arrivals, if those people or their descendants later use their place in the national family to agitate for special economic benefits from Britain for themselves or their countries of origin?

@Babygravy9 The CQC brought in measures that determined how many staff a care home MUST employ determined by number of residents and their needs. This made most local smaller homes unable to pay sufficient wages for the level of care mandated, whilst also being forced to restrict rents.

Yeah, about that. During the pandemic, pretty much every single employee—except management—was replaced in my grandmother’s care home. They went from being local girls with a smattering of Poles and Eastern Europeans to entirely Indian. Every single one. That was a deliberate choice by the owner of the care home. I was also told that the owner of the care home owned property in the town and was putting up his new Indian workers, one to every room, so that he was making back a significant proportion of their wages in rent.

@Reuters The CQC brought in measures that determined how many staff a care home MUST employ for a given number of beds, occupants and their needs. This made it untennable for most smaller care homes to operate. That is what caused your staffing crisis.

Government plans to make it harder for migrant workers to settle permanently in Britain risk a staffing crunch in care homes for elderly people, where one employee in three is from overseas reut.rs/41MiPvW

@matthewclifford The thought that ministers can outsource their thinking to LLMs and not tell people when they do it is the most outrageous. Can you imagine your laws being written by this delusion?

The idea that ministers' LLM usage is FOI-able is insane. Government should have contested this way more strongly. Clearly should have fallen under the policy development exemption, otherwise we more or less guarantee no minister will use AI at a time that adoption is key!

@PopBase People hate this guy so much, you'd think he would have actually killed people.

The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo. It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families. (variety.com/2026/digital/n…)

@Dialogue1706 @LBC He is elected by the House.

@LBC Who does this grifting prick think he’s speaking to ? He’s elected by nobody.

'You have no duties, leave!' Your Party MP Zarah Sultana gets suspended from the House of Commons for calling Keir Starmer a 'bare-faced liar'.

@SEcomomist @lowlandsapien There used to be a chrome addon that you could use for searching netflix.

@lowlandsapien Blockbuster had a 'classics' section, Netflix has no pre-1970 movies. And it's impossible to search on Netflix - they either just suggest to you the same 15 movies rearranged in different order in various categories, or you have to load their entire list which crashes the site.

The Blockbuster nostalgia ignores the fact that it was the normie video store. 300 copies of Independance Day and a sneaky City of God hidden in the Foreign section. You had to go the family owned weird VideoMax behind the deli to get Bad Boy Bubby or Happiness.

@Strandjunker We should be shaming the middle class more.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

@no_nfa @RestoreBritain_ Why would you use concrete on a dry stone wall?

From a Google search asking for a sustainable option to repair this wall: Crushed bone can be used as a sustainable, partial replacement for aggregates in cement-based bricks and concrete, typically replacing up to 15–25% of fine or coarse aggregate. This substitution reduces the cost and environmental impact of concrete. Optimal performance is usually achieved around 15% replacement, providing a sustainable alternative.

@marcportermagee You get more people wanting to be teachers?

What happens when you double teacher salaries? - You get more satisfied teachers - You do not get greater teacher effort - You do not get better student outcomes

the taxes are too damn high! our system is totally broken and absolutely unfair

@AcademicAgent_X That said, the participation prize for Crystal Maze was essentially your grandma's sideboard knick knack.

@AcademicAgent_X The middle class had already "made it", were beneficiaries of upward mobility and prestige talking points were seemingly more important. A car meant individual transportation and the possibilty of more economic freedom and expansion for small to medium buisnesses.

One of the unspoken class-based assumptions on British TV was working class contestants would be wild about winning a car or a washing machine but middle-class contestants would just receive like a plate trophy or plaque or similar. Every game show was class-coded in this way.

@AlexanderSoros Nothing quite like international socialists to remind everyone why national socialism was a bad idea.

It was an honor to welcome so many incredible leaders and advocates to Barcelona for the inaugural Global Progressive Summit — a first-of-its-kind gathering that brought together thousands from over 100 countries and organizations. For the first time, partners including Progressive Alliance, Global Progress, and the Party of European Socialists came together under one roof, alongside a broad coalition of movements and leaders committed to advancing a more just and democratic future.

A major Botox scandal has rocked the camel beauty pageant world, with 20 camels disqualified from the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival for undergoing illegal cosmetic procedures. Organizers used advanced X-ray and ultrasound technology to uncover the enhancements, which included Botox injections and lip fillers intended to artificially improve the animals’ facial features and overall appearance for the judges. The disqualifications have sent a clear message: the festival remains firmly committed to preserving the natural beauty and traditional heritage of desert camels, rather than celebrating surgical artifice. Judges evaluate the camels according to strict natural criteria, including the precise shape of the head, the ideal placement and form of the hump, and overall proportions. Any attempt to smooth wrinkles, enhance lips, or reshape facial features through medical intervention is considered a serious ethical breach and a direct violation of the competition’s rules. In response to the rising trend of cosmetic tampering, festival officials have announced they will intensify medical screenings and adopt even stricter detection methods to safeguard the authenticity and dignity of these iconic desert animals.
