Yeah this was how I was suspecting it mainly, the reservoir was boiled* during the heatwave and is still coming down. *not actually boiled it was nowhere close to 100° thank gently caress

bump_fn posted:in what sense do these people actually state that china is the biggest threat to the uk? They don't give the slightest poo poo about IP protections and will use any legal or illegal means to recreate western products cheaper, faster etc. This is probably at worst neutral for you or I but very very bad for western capital which desperately wants to create and exploit monopolies so the rest of us have to care very much too.

Mind you it's not a tremendous saving at that point vs the original but high end Chinese products can be very nice.

So after Faiza Shaheen (who nearly unseated Iain Duncan Smith in 2019 despite the national trend) was picked to run again for Labour in 2024 (or before) against the wishes of the Starmer wing, the usual anti-Corbyn cunts started tweeting about what an anti-Semite and general racist she is, leading to Novara's Michael Walker putting out a solidarity tweet https://twitter.com/michaeljswalker/status/1551163764430540801 and she replied with a thanks and then this https://twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/1551181500359507969 Michael Walker noted on yesterday's show that all of the tweets about how racist she is have mysteriously disappeared from those tweeter's timelines.

I'm being a bit strawman here tbf, your corporate executive etc is going to say we've done 5-20 years worth of speculative R&D investment by the time we take a product to market and if we don't have the ability to profit from that (becasue someone else has come in and ripped it off instantly) then we won't do the R&D in the future. but... this is one of those circular and contradictory free market arguments. we have to have the profit motive to drive innovation -> the free market creates the profit motive -> too much free market reduces the profit -> have to have a monopoly -> a monopoly stifles innovation. if we can just decouple R&D from profit then we wouldn't have this mess to begin with!

Her poker book is good. Woman's got some terrible taste in people though.

Anything other than yes or no will be taken to mean the worse of the two"

I don't want to blindly score goals for the sake of ideology. I want to take a more pragmatic approach by listening to what the ball really wants and kicking it in a distinctively British direction. No I will not be using my left foot.

I was wondering how Titania McGrath could be performing live given she's a twitter account run by a man but it seems said man, Doyle, has hired an actress to play his character doing stand-up routines he's written.

You terminally offended wokes call everything that you don't like fascist. Just because my comedy tour has hitler lounge act, guy who taught his pug to heil hitler, a second pug that has also been taught to heil hitler, wanted Nazi war criminal Martin Bormann, and Geoff Norcott, does not mean we're fascist.

Victoria Coren used to be right up there among my dumb celebrity crushes and I always got relatively sound vibes from her. Heartbroken! I also really liked her husband and he's been smart enough to keep his mouth shut but I'm fairly certain he's also a melt. At least he didn't do the Frankie Boyle bit of talking a big socialist game then gleefully joining in on the smear dogpile when someone actually suggested doing something about it, only to revert back to performative lefty posturing the second the threat was averted and crying whenever anyone called him out on it. Never meet your heros folks!
