Are there any practical applications for this research though?

I'm talking about hoverboards. Real ones, not those lovely loving ghetto ones that keep exploding on youtube.

I'd be up for that, we could make it work with some kind of Besźel type arrangement.

edit: On this day in 1990, the terrorist Nelson Mandela was freed from prison on a technicality.

Corbyn's appeal isn't that he's nice, it's that he offers a proper left wing alternative to the current neo-liberal shites that dominate all three mainstream parties.

Who gives a gently caress if he's nice? If he's too nice to capitalise on the Tories gutting public services and angling to sell them off to their mates at knock down prices, on their program of austerity actually making the ecomomy worse and loving killing people... then he should go. gently caress him. We need nice like we need a loving hole in the head.

As an American, please explain what's going on with this referendum? I know Britain is in the EU but not the Euro. I guess David Cameron tried to one-up the far right by promising a Brexit referendum and now he's campaigning against his own policy? Lol
Much like your own Republican party, there are actually two Tory parties.

One caters to FYGM Little Englanders who think everything wrong with the world can be summed up by "Foreigners", the Victorians were Right About Everything and Hitler wasn't such a bad chap if you look past the Jewish thing. These people hate the EU, because Britain is full, foreigners Don't Integrate and the human rights act helps swarthy paedophiles abuse British children.

The other is the party of big business and corporate welfare. Big business loving loves the EU, because it's a large and lucrative export market and the inflow of immigrants benefits the economy by increasing demand for goods and services at home and creates downward pressure on wages.

Cameron is caught in continual tension between the two, because he can't win without the Little Englanders... but the businesses actually fund his party and line his pockets. This referendum is an attempt to appease one end of the party while nodding and winking at the other, because a Brexit win is a practical impossibility. He expected the stay vote to win easily, unfortunately he seems to have underestimated how strong Eurosceptic sentiment is (ironically fuelled by his tabloid selling mates, who cater to the same tensions), and now he's making GBS threads it.

UK posters, could you please explain to me how it is that this fellow is the most influential man in Britain tonight?
Because he's incredibly rich and well connected?

You think the character he plays in public is who he really is? It's been noted he deliberately musses his hair before he appears in interviews...

You're a braver man than I, speculating about a Tory's sexual proclivities... that kind of thing can lead you to some very dark places.

Nah, my highly evolved brain can distinguish up to two distinct types of Russian. Ones with bushy moustaches, and ones with bushy beards. Stalin was clearly the former, while Rasputin the latter. There's no ambiguity there.

I was referencing Trotsky's assassination.

Also, why is it there's always more s's in assassination than you think?

I'd rather reserve judgement on that for when he loses in 2020, and the country is plunged into 1000 years of darkness.

Feb 26th 1914, the HMHS Britannic is launched. Sister ship to the Titanic, she would later continue the proud White Star Line tradition of running into things and sinking.

The BBC does, deservedly, look bad. However there are an awful lot of people who completely undeservedly look good (or at least not bad) from all of this which is incredibly depressing. The example of Jimmy Saville and the Tory party springs to mind.
It is infuriating that they get to use this as a stick to repeatedly beat the hated BBC, but everyone seems to have forgotten how loving chummy Thatcher was with the guy.

Amazon Prime Now is the one-hour courier delivery service, not the next day shipping.
My mistake.

It'd still be better if they didn't sneak this additional charge in like that though. If the new service is untenable without the extra charge, just be up front about it.
