>Its embassy in Madrid accused him of "demonizing" Israel, saying Spain was "on the wrong side of history."

Israel are confused.

Sorry, you're right. The point I was trying to clumsily make is that It didn't have the effect that the RAF were aiming for. Which was to break morale and more importantly, stem the civilian population production of war. If anything, production increased, despite the terror.

I'm incredibly ignorant on WW2, and in general knowledge, being a nerd and all, my brain is full of Linux. However I have recently been watching the World War in Color series. I've been watching several other similar series and I'm totally hooked now.

The run-up to WW2 and current US affairs look strikingly similar. I look at the TV, then my phone, then back at the TV and "it's the same picture".

The British turned entire cities into flame tornados during ww2, and it galvanised the Germans rather than deter them.

This is why when my daughter announced she was gay, I was absolutely thrilled. She gets to go on this new journey with the part of humanity that 1) can't cause a teen pregnancy and 2) much less abusive

This sort of shit needs to fuck off. The whole ml Vs world or whatever is so dumb. We are on this tiny social network that feels like the internet of old. Where we meet people online not just the once but likely often as we traverse the fediverse. But this shit, this hatred, does not belong here.

You missed the point there. The moral thing to do is to not deport either of them.

That's unfortunate. My issue was pre COVID. They introduced booking requirements during COVID and kept the policy in place. Lame.

They striked in my town a few years ago. There wasn't any litter on my street as we were still able to put the trash in the car and take it to the refuse dump ourselves. It was an inconvenience but you shouldn't just leave the trash outside to fester. I ended up taking mine and my 2 neighbours trash as they are both elderly.

That's where I'm confused. Maybe it's a language/cultural difference, but I consider all elected members of parliament government officials regardless of the importance of their role compared to cabinet ministers.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. They are government officials. Members of parliament. Your distinction between front and back benchers is accurate but off topic.

I had a similar experience, also a month ago. Lots of people I know had it similar the last few months. Is there another wave of this going around and this time I'm noticing?

A million. Christ. Probably all caged living awful lives, poor things.

I have 2 backyard chickens and they are really happy. Fresh eggs every day.

You are actually agreeing with me here :)

Yes they are aiming to be neutral, but the charging infrastructure isn't ready yet. So it's only 50% if new buses. In time it will be 100%.

5 points ·

Wouldn't long journeys make that somewhat infeasible?

Charging stations don't look like they cater for buses, and I imagine charging the batteries of a bus to take a while, even at high KW.

We pay some of the highest taxes in the world yet we are poor? Surely this is corruption.
