It cost me about £60 for one return rail ticket last week 😭 that's not including the tube fare to get to the station.

I seem to remember Musk's defence on the paedo thing being that in South Africa, it's not meant to be taken literally and it's just a generic insult.

Mr Musk told the court this week the phrase "pedo guy" was common in South Africa, where he grew up.

So if a bunch of South Africans started calling Musk paedo-guy on Twitter and elsewhere, it's just bants and not defamation, right?

This was the first time I heard (saw) someone say it to a Finn and I was like wow what the heck just happened?

This user was pretty chill and then BAM! Insta-rage!

Wow, this all sounds so familiar to me as a Brit. This is the exact crap that diehard Brexiteers peddle, even as their food gets more expensive and they have to wait in the non EU queue in the airport. It hurts Johnny Foreigner, doesn't it? So it's worth it. Brexit is only bad because we didn't Brexit hard enough!

I've seen people (ie USers) say that imperial makes more sense because it's easily divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 so it's more intuitive. Yet I've never seen any of these people campaign to ditch their base 100 currency for a more "intuitive" £ s d style system. You already use decimal currency and find it easier than a system where 240¢ makes $1.

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot's musk videos and you'll see that clip featured at least once.

Brexit was supposed to make farm workers' wages higher. The EU workers left, and crops rotted on the fields, because Brits didn't want those jobs, no matter what wages the farmers were offering. So they had to tell the EU workers they were welcome again and introduce special visas to lure them back.

That. Is. A. Disgrace!

Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can't start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(

There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I'm assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

That's R3-T7 you're thinking of lol

Yeah but gatekeeping sucks.

Same. I stopped visiting after the boycott started. A couple of days before rif went down, I popped back in to say bye to my friends on there and that was it.

And here's her big sister. She was a bit of a rebel ;)
