I guess none of his Fundamentalist Christians have pointed out that the place he's bombing (according to them), recovered from the Flood which cleansed the known world.

The price of piss has reached a new high.

Thank you President Trump, thank you.

They just don't read the right books.

A 20th century reason is Slav solidarity, though that's peculiarly one way.

A 21st century reason is graft, or inter country finance. Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia want to receive EU money to restrict immigration.

At the same time they want to continue using Russian oil.

cv Pipeline dispute.

Food is generally good for us, unless we eat too little, or too much or that what we
eat isn't part of a diverse diet or relies on artificial preservatives and processes.

And that we drink 1-2 litres of water a day.

I'm obviously a model practitioner of this.

It is quite settled now, the late summer will see me preoccupied with post operative recovery (nice alliteration there).

Probably around July I'll have a triple bypass and Aortic valve replacement, a 70 year service as the stents have partially given up.

Other than that I'm fairly well.

Perhaps I have lost more weight than the scales tell. A 2XL shirt by Weird Fish we got on Saturday is like a tent on me.

The sleeves go to the tips of my fingers, I've never had a shirt like that.

It feels ok though.

Growing inorganic crystal substrates in zero gravity seems more useful, theoretically.

Populists can reverse on a dime and have no memory of any previous direction. They have always been in favour/against newthink.

Why don't they fantasise about liquid chips and slicing substrates in orbit, manufacturing and assembly in orbit and clouds of zippy robots nipping around doing the maintenance?

Firing data centres into orbit is puerile.

I guess they're obsessed with super-hyper-processors which make even less sense.

Although AMD Static mode might get used more (admission I built a static driver hooked to the idle loop for DR DOS for Battery max)

Let alone the crap bandwidth to move data around.

Or ablating water molecules with plasma every few microseconds to get cooling by evaporation.

And then if at any point there was mechanical bridging across the gaps then you could get an increasing heat wave.

The mechanical bridging could be as simple as dust.

They're already standardised.
I wonder how we can get separate power systems?
In maintenance I guess all the 'racks' would be accessible to yet to be made robots.
But the gap between assemblies of electronics would have to be wider and gapping would need room for piping to convect to radiators.

I know you think it was a pity that the UK didn't fall in with the illegal war so you could properly lambast them but this pitiful fake excuse won't wash.

If the Tories had still been in power, would they have got Michelle's yacht there by now?

Indeed - bin the policy of bootlicking Trump now

In the litany of Trump's renaming things as crap vulgar trinkets (often with his name attached), the least crap, but still crap name is the Board of Peace.

Like most of these enterprises it's just a thin covering over an opportunity for personal graft.

And now he's imploded it himself.

I guess Tony Blair has convinced everyone that thought he was led by the nose by Bush that they were right.

America right or wrong is just as insane as My Country right or wrong.

Also Blair ignoring that this is an illegal war is worse than the grey area in Gulf War II.

Appeasing Trump is worthless, as everyone finds out.

I imagine someone in the Pentagon will have to explain, in crayon, that the significant effect of attacking Iran is the fracturing of NATO and that what Europe sends to the Mediterranean and Gulf is about protecting their, and the Gulf's assets and citizens.

It has nothing to do with the US.

Shield of the Americas sounds like a shitty DC Comic of the late 50's.

Unfortunately, I can see Donald the Mob Boss in his Gold Spandex suit.

I wasn't really expecting Paradise to turn into some kind of The Last of Us, and I've only seen the first two episodes of the second series.
