TBF, even Bellingcat (which is very pro-Ukrainian) is starting to put out threads going 'oh hey there sure are a lot of neo-Nazis at the core of these much-hyped military operations'.

One of the guys running the anti-Putin border insurgency, for instance, sells the Christchurch manifesto in his online store ands seems to be fighting Russia because he doesn't think it's racist enough.

He's a known RUSSIAN fascist, a lot of the russians are in that unit. :shrug:

Having them raiding their own country gives Ukraine a bit of stand off distance and stops those nut jobs from loving up on the main front lines.

Eh, not really. It depresses the appetite and makes you feel full, but not via nausea - that may be a side effect but it's not designed for it. Hopefully, it'll get approved for weight loss to help obese and production will expand so both groups can get the medicine they need.

No medical training at all but from what i read you get nausea at the start and when the dosage is upped then it settles down.

Complications are pancreatitis, bone loss and an increased chance of thyroid cancer, more work required on long term effects and once you stop taking the drug your appetite returns to what it was.

As an obese person i think i'll pass.

Yeah I was reading about different ways it could go if there was a breach in the vessel and it implodes apparently the pressure of the water at great depth will slice you in half. Apparently happened to a Russian submariner. Can't find link now.
Let alone that Byford Dolphin incident mentioned previously ITT.

Re the debris field. I assume they have detail on the preexisting field? I visited the Titanic expo in Belfast a couple of years ago and seemed well mapped.

You more or less get an implosion and an explosion due to pressure at the same time, don't think "sliced in half"... think "blender". :yikes:

Jamie Oliver has made entire TV series out of eating the earholes and arseholes of animals. As long as it’s something that’s been prepared by a telegenic rustic peasant in a sunlit dappled Tuscan village then it’s all good.

I stayed with a relative overnight and this morning saw live TV for the first time in years. It was whatever the BBC's breakfast show is called, but I had to ask her "Is this ITV?" (Yes, I'm An Old and still think of ITV as the trashy downmarket channel.)

It had a story on the Liverpool woman who was randomly shot and killed by some shithead with a submachine gun, which is an objectively terrible thing. But the way it was presented was a cross between Simon Bates' Our Tune and the worst of Damian 'film a prop teddy bear in the wreckage' Day from Drop The Dead Donkey. Basically "let's get the family to pour their hearts out so we can selectively edit it for some good quotes", while taking them to Greece to 'revisit their last holiday together' - oh, and let's show a censored version of the CCTV footage of the shooting shown at the trial for the death-wankers. All with, like I said, Our Tune-style music in the background. It was both ghoulish and mawkish at the same time, and was immediately followed by chirpy presenters being happy and hyper about some loving trivial thing. Absolutely awful.

So glad I don't need a TV licence any more, because I'd be pissed off about paying for that poo poo.

Was getting my car serviced last week and while waiting a few hours i had to endure exactly the same, lucky i brought a kindle along to distract me.

The Simon Bates vibe is real, it's alive... and it's loving horrible! :barf:

I'm reminded of the scene in Babylon 5 where Morden asks Vir what he wants. Vir, who was in the main considered to be a jellyfish and far too nice to be in politics, replies that he wanted to live long enough to see Morden executed and his head placed on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations. This was shocking enough even before it later came out that the Centauri practice execution by vivisection and so Vir was basically saying "I want you to be tortured to death and I want to watch".

I think this is the position a lot of people are in with Osborne and the Tories. They are not evil, but the Tories are unspeakable monsters. And while as per Nietzsche we must take care not to become monsters ourselves in fighting them, you can only gaze into the abyss for so long.

I hope that my wish for the Toriy leadership ( :guillotine: ) comes true, as it did for Vir. :allears:
