Tolerate what? Taking the cats with us for the viewing? That was entirely my decision because I didn't want cat presence in the house for viewings in case they aren't cat people and to be honest houses show way better without pets or signs of them in the home. That said, I will take the big cat tree next time to get it out of the living room but the cats are staying.

LOL cats and clear signs of cats means Im MORE likely to buy.

No, but I will say that capping how much someone may earn from their own private ventures (so you're not personally paying them and it's not public money) is morally dubious and accelerating rapidly toward simple crab bucketing.

If they want to make a billion bucks by paying wages that no one can live on, then they can go gently caress themselves and much more morally corrupt

Except I didn't say that.

Except that's exactly what a CEO who wants to make a billion bucks does. There comes a point where it's about greed rather than honest reward - and if the renumeration package is 33 million while the employees cant earn a living wage, then the CEO is a loving rear end in a top hat.

Beyond that, you're doing it because you want to punish people for being rich.

Well given how many of them are pure assholes and they themselves do all they can to gently caress over the poor and the middle class.......

I say tax them. Soiciety worked a hell of a lot better when the rich and corporations paid their taxes.

Cardio is better for your heart generally hence the name but to me at least it's less fun. I ride a bike 8 miles every week day and walk at least 2 miles on top of that so that's my cardio.

I prefer cardio over weights (no poo poo if you see my Strava) and leave the weights to being in the garage.

Maybe not much longer, I'm going to start working my FTP upwards and that means more raw power = squats and deadlifts. I want to see if I can hit 300watts for 20 minutes.

Corbyn is going to doom the UK to a decade of Tories singlehanded. Anyone even slightly competent should have May on toast with all the BS.

Otherise I've had so many things gently caress up lately and to top it off tomorrow is an anniversary of something I *really* didnt need reminding of. Axe Murderer is about the best description of how pissed at life I am right now

So GM is putting all of its money into china, Brazil, and the US/Canada? What the gently caress are they thinking? On top of that, this sale seems like a raw deal for them

Opel was losing about 2 Billion a year apparently However wether that was before or the after GM's fees they demand from subsidiaries, I dont know. Holden was said to be losing a lot of money but the truth was they were profitable .... except GM charged them design fees for a platform Holden designed in the first place. It's absurd

Every single one of those vans is horrifying to drive and you dont want to think about safety - either dynamic or crash - if you value yourself in any way. They were at best contemptuous of anyone dumb enough to drive one.

Let alone if you get involved in a crash you are about as hosed as if you were hit while riding a bicycle.

Cats are your best solution. A few months and it's like what cockroaches?

GOTG 2 -

To be honest, lower your expectations. It's not lightning in the bottle like the first one. It's different as well. Basically, it's a second tier Marvel movie - good to very good, needs a rewatch to really grok it (and probably more enjoyable like Marvel movies tend to be second time around) but it's just not quite first tier like Winter Soldier or GOTG 1.

It doesnt mean you shouldnt see it. You should. Just temper expectations a bit as it just doesnt have for instance that amazing opening like GOTG does.

8/10, deserves your money.

Understandably it pissed some people off but if you're happy to stand in an assembly line doing exactly the same job for 25 years I kind of agree with capping your pay.

I dont. Inflation exists. And if you are loyal for 25 years you drat well deserve pay rises. Come on, that's just plain being an rear end in a top hat to say someone who does a good job for 25 years aint worth paying more.
