There's only so much people are willing to take, why should at least two generations now be completely screwed for the comfort of the Boomers who didn't have any of this to contend with, who benefitted from low house prices and a stable economy, who now sit in paid off houses and nice nest eggs...

My mortgage repayments went up by £300 last month. I don't have a huge mortgage, some people are going to be royally screwed though... it's true that the burden of the inflation reduction pain is being shouldered disproportionately by a couple million young homeowners. It just seems like a...

He's crying because he tried his stupid schtick with us in another thread and made himself look silly. Now he's butthurt and making pointless troll comments..

I was round the supermarket picking up some bits and pieces, mostly raw veg and meat, I took a step back and just scanned the prices across the chicken, lamb, beef and fish aisle and it's actually shocking. One of those packs of raw chicken breast sliced into strips, roughly one and half...

They were stupid enough to pay £200,000 to go to a dangerous part of the ocean in a submersible controlled with a Logitech controller than an exec at the company had been fired for pointing out their poor safety record and on top of that would get to see a wreck through a monitor displaying a...

Here's what ChatGPT said about it... why are people getting taller over time? People are getting taller over time because of improved nutrition, access to medical care, and an overall better quality of life. This increases the availability of essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins in the...

I pointed out one very public example of something which clearly is not up to par in both terms of equipment and practices... this is supported by people who worked for the company criticising their approach to safety. I made no declaration of what went wrong in this instance. So the...

When did I say I know the reasons this "mission" failed? You're the one claiming the simple approach taken by the operator works every time yet here it clearly hasn't worked here. There's a whistleblower that was an Exec at the company who was fired for raising safety concerns regarding not...

Done a bit of snorkelling in the Caribbean and I do love it... did a bit of Scuba years ago too and that was amazing.

I'd love to see a lot of things in Egypt but what really puts me off is the pushy tourist trap types there who will not leave you alone. The people seem pretty rude tbh and almost every travel vlogger I've seen go to Egypt lately, even the ones who generally have nothing bad to say about their...

Except it didn't seem to work this time and seems an utterly flimsy solution for a controller rather than some hard physical controls built into the submersible.

I think people have a tendency to look at extremely complicated and nuanced issues and reduce it down to some simple explanation. *Excess deaths post-Covid are due to the precautions we took. *Obesity is due to prevalence of takeaway apps / personal agency. *It's side-effects from the vaccines...

The dude running this operation sounds like he needs some prison time tbh. I saw an interview with him talking about controlling the submersible with a videogame joypad, it looked like the cheapest bluetooth Logitech aftermarket joypad in PC World. He was claiming that it could be controlled...

We usually order Chinese take-away for 3 and it's about £35 in the Glasgow area. It's an effing joke, it's mostly warmed up supplies from the Chinese Co-op and they're charging £6-7 for a portion of ribs. Chinese food to me is the about the most generic takeaways around, it pretty much tastes...

This is very true, even someone like Bruce Willis you would assume that everyone has heard of but most teenagers wouldn't have a clue who that is and you'd need to point out a film they might have seen that he was in.

Barber Mode: Off anywhere nice this summer Sir? Just looking for somewhere nice at the minute for the family. We were considering the US (Florida / NYC) for a couple weeks but my eldest daughter is insistent she doesn't want to go to America for some reason. Height of spoiled if you ask me...

Personal anecdotal experience here, I feel like we've always been shorter on average than our European counterparts, particularly the Northern Europeans but I reckon the young kids nowadays are far taller on average too. I'm a shade over 6ft and when I was younger I felt pretty tall in the...

I'm not a Tory, I don't support their policies, I want Labour to win the next election but I'm sick to death of this Hyper-Partisan b*****cks that we get all the time. I don't care about Boris Johnson breaking Covid rules, or this guy gave a member of staff a *******ing or some MP was speeding...
