Obligatory

It’s the same with English beer. On the continent, people keep saying that Brits drink their beer lukewarm. When I was there, they actually had temperature displays at the tap in most pubs that usually showed something around 4°C (~39°F). For reference, that was in the Huddersfield area (between Leeds and Manchester) around 15 years ago.

Dimitar Savatinov!

The FDP very definitely does not want this, and one would be justified in doubting if the top brass of the SPD wants it. Personally, I am inclined to believe they only suggest plans like this knowing full well nothing will come of them in this government constellation.

Really? When I tried it, it was buggy as hell. Sure, in the official version, you can’t walk around the subway, but there are people in it, and you can look out the window, and it tells you what station is next and all that. Actually pretty chill.

The singer reportedly said that she would not worry or fret because “there ain’t no law against it yet”.

Sources allege that the game’s character creator had to be overhauled multiple times to keep up with GTA Online, then Hogwarts Legacy, then Baldur’s Gate 3. While the game’s setting—a smoky, oppressive city—had to be dramatically altered to become brighter and friendlier after one of the brothers played Spider-Man 2.

Does that remind anyone else of the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” segment “Film Scene”, where the “director” would change the type of film mid-scene several times?

Oh… is Reddit still around?

I have to push the pram-a-loooooooooot!

That really should be “number of hard sets”. You can make a set hard in a number of different ways: shorter pauses between them, higher rep count, higher weight, slower eccentric, utilizing greater range of motion, you name it. If a set is not at least challenging, it is probably what some call “junk volume”.

Also, where powerlifters are concerned, you should probably differentiate between on- and off-season training. When a powerlifter is not “peaking”, they will usually do more hypertrophy work: moving big weights requires one to utilize many of ones muscle fibers simultaneously, and also to properly brace, both things one has to train for specifically. But all of that is no use if one does not have the muscle mass to make it happen :)

That’s right, f… the poor, they have no lobby anyway! Tories are reverse Robin Hoods.

What a terrible loss. I love KJ and Geordie is a huge part of the reason why. RIP.

Formal apologies are in order, if desired, but reparations for slavery?

If you look to the UK, just as an example, not to pick on anyone in particular, there are a lot of individuals and families who still are unbelievably wealthy because their ancestors amassed incredible wealth either from slave trade or from endeavours relying on massive slave labour in the carribians. That money is still here, and it still allows the ancestors of slavers to live like little kings.

One prominent people this applies to is the new foreign secretary, David Cameron.

If you want to learn more, there is an article on the topic, and a public database of estates who have profitted from slavery.

The only way these plants could have continued to run would have been with extensive maintenance - they were already running under a special permission allowing them to forgo scheduled maintenance. This maintenance could not have been put off any longer and would have meant the shutdown of the plants for an extended period as well as high costs that nobody (including the plant operators) was willing to pay. In effect, just continueing to run the plants as they were would have invited disaster by gross negligence. Another factor is the human factor: since the end of nuclear power generation has been a long time coming, a lot of the specialists at the various plants have changed their plans accordingly and moved to other industries or even countries to pursue new carreer opportunities, so that the knowhow and manpower to operate these plants simply does not exist anymore.

The real failure is that the existing alternatives have not been allowed to grow as needed. Previous governments have not just cut subsidiaries for power sources like wind, they have made it near impossible to install new plants with idiotic, over the top regulations and laws.

That’s a bee, love.

Well, with no disrespect to Borja Iglesias, that is finally a big name in male football adding his support for the women. About time, too. Let us hope both Rubiales and his cronies are gone for good real soon, and that there is real change in leadership that recognizes this is not 1960 anymore.

Un-fucking-believable. Time to fire everyone in any leedership capacity and start from scratch with people who are not caricatures of mid 20th century machoism.

I recently bought a cordless, very flat keyboard from Cherry - loving it.

The 1980s called and they… are very impressed by your rig.

Should’ve left a note “What else was a lie?”
