Could be a few things. Drugs. Sexual crimes. Unhappy with frog face. Fraud. People trafficking. Treason. Arson. I wouldn't bet against any of them!

Home weekends we often see it. Too many distractions

10pm BST in the UK. Sky Sports. Might tune in, we'll see later

I agree that a stronger presence outside the big 8 countries is important. Hence why we invited Italy, Argentina, Japan, and Fiji to major tournaments every year.

And the USA offers a potential for growth. But so does Spain. And Romania. And Georgia. And Canada. And Uruguay. And Chile. And Portugal.

Which tbh I'd invest in any of those before the USA today. Finals weekend for the Nations cup in Madrid anyone? Bucharest? Santiago? Toronto?

£3k since brexit seems very under rated to me. We have gone nowhere but backwards since leaving the EU. Why would that be mince? Does he not understand what GDP is? It isn't cash in your pocket, it is overall spend per person. Personal spending, governments spending, third sector spending all on our behalf. And, we're lagging in growth of all of these since leaving the EU

 

What an awful idea. The six nations is about heritage, prestiage, rivalries and traveling fans. Not fucking America.

We have this new tournament, let the finals weekend be in Chicago or Phili for that. Not the six nations

Shite white. I try to avoid it. It isn't even a guilty pleasure

The Enterprise was originaly designed the wrong way up. But Gene saw the mistake and went: that's cool, we're keeping it. Totally impractical for planetary landings, obviously fragile, but damn it looks cool still 60 years on

UK GDP maybe 2.5tn. So like 0.5% of one year's spending. Just hand it over ffs and be done with it

 

Pros obviously learned on the larger ball. I'd like to hear the grassroots opinion more!

The world sucks right now. We're literally burning through it and it is hard to find happiness in. The depression comment sounds about correct to me, but I would add that some travel will help with perspective. Tap up an old buddy, give that strange aunt a call, go visit somewhere else for a week. Somewhere beautiful if you can. And if you can't, read instead - libraries are free and offer an easy escape. You need a break, we all need a break.

Then set some short/medium term goals. A skill, a sport, a model, a hobby, a partner, a new flat/car/job. And pursue them a little every day

Someone will call their bluff eventually then. And the next time it will then be ignored. Warnings like this need to be backed up by a long range strike in order to demonstrate the warning is real

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Those I believe are hypothesised to be locally launched drones. Limited in their capacity. Long range strikes from Ukraine would look like a lot of missiles. Which would run a very real risk in airspace

For now. No real evidence of Ukrainian long range strikes at this stage is there?

 

Great to be out today, 20C and nae wind. Spectator weather in Scotland!

 

1610 BST kick off for us today, fab for the western hemisphere, tough one for the Kiwis. And the first of a 4 match series culminating in Baltimore of all places.

Anyway, the Saffer on the bus is backing the bomb squad as I write this, so who's your money on today? Reactions, predictions, and shitposts all appreciated today, happy Saturday!

 

No TRC is weird. Here's why. Poor Australia and Argentina

 

Old one's thread has given up. Nicked a new one from work in white as it is almost identical. Didn't want to unceremoniously ditch the old one, it did a great job for many years and saw many events, so here's a post to celebrate it. Thank you old faithful, long live the new faithful!

Ethernet cupboard was looking messy, and full of lots of odd sizes and colours. And I wanted to hook up another device and was out. 5x 0.5m cat6 to the rescue. Might send a pic if it is dull enough when swapped over

Edit: size matters (ask my ex-wife!)

 

A bit faster than Starmer managed at least. But words are cheap!

 

Good, glassholes can fuck off

 

A good read from Glenn Campbell here. What could Labour do to actually earn a vote? I'd certainly attempt a UK Labour split, and also be officially neutral on independence, whilst supporting Scotland's right to choose. That should help show Ian Murray the door, and Jackie Baillie thr boot

 

Awrite troops, how's it hangin? Who's daein summin tae share? Wha's aff oan their hollibobs? An fit's been gein ye grief this week?

 

Scotland literally on fire, stop with the bbqs in the countryside ffs!
