Then also even the National Review has a columnist calling for Nunes to resign. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/446179/devin-nunes-trump-surveillance-campaign-investigation-house-intel-committee-russia

Lol, bad things are:

- worker rights; protecting you from a methed out surgeon who hasn't slept in 72h

- a common classification for fruit quality grades that saves everyone a lot of money, work and makes trade easier

- renewable energy and endangered species protection

- getting idiots to stop buying those loving incandescent light bulbs, something that every country outside the EU is also trying to do

- higher quality standards on vacuum cleaners, which has been shown again and again to not be correlated with it's energy use; the best vacuum cleaners on the market already full fill the norms

Good things are:

- gently caress you, moe money for the rich

For anyone who thinks the internet makes us stupid - we were way stupider before.

30 years ago the press were screaming "Brussels Bans Bendy Bananas!".
Now that google exists, the Telegraph are trying to make us angry that banana classification has been standardised. Which the industry wanted to happen.

Why standardize bananas

Why standardize bananas

Pros:

Easier for supermakets etc to know what their buying, esp if they operate across multiple countries
If they're classed by size and shape you save space transporting them
probably other things i don't know I'm not in the banana business

cons:
I don't want no stinkin' metric bananas bEUrocrats! :bahgawd:

I think it was about facilitating trade, since you get what you paid for, with minimal deviation from the norm.

They aren't :ssh:

All that happened is that EU members agreed on a common classification scheme, like, if you order 500 tons of bananas with "grade C" you know exactly what you are getting, instead of having to deal with 20 different classification systems that are not directly convertible to each other. :spergin:

It is a good thing, in every way imaginable

Yesterday, Johnny Rotten (née John Lydon) defended Donald Trump, calling him, among other things, a “joy to behold” and a “possible friend.” The Sex Pistols frontman also said the media was “trying to smear the bloke as a racist, and that’s completely not true.” Today, in an interview with Virgin Radio, Rotten doubled down on those comments.

“I didn’t expect to be misunderstood, I think I speak very clearly,” he said, according to NME. “America now has a new President and whether you like him or not you have to support him or you will destroy the country. You got to make things work.”

I think the NYT apologized to the whole country that Trump got elected. Like, in a "my condolences" sort of way.

No they did not, but I'm not surprised that Trump doesn't know what an apology is.

He doesn't understand the difference between a public apology and a correction that includes "we apologize for the error". This is likely a result of him never issuing a genuine apology in his life.

Fox News is the one true media in Donnie's eyes. He's talking about literally everything else.

Also no I dont get Fox News but that's because I'm a pretend American :canada:. The other local TV provider includes it at no extra charge, but mine only gives CNN and BBC along with the boring rear end Canadian news. Thankfully American news youtubes don't region lock their poo poo like the regular networks do.
