All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again

Over the past while, our government has essentially turned our welfare system into a parody of the US's. This guy makes the most amazing Lego sculptures, and it's so fucking sad he's going through this.
DJ Calvert told BBC News NI: "I've been let down - and I'm not the only one." It was proof that Northern Ireland's health and social care system had "crashed", said the 49-year-old.

Thanks very much, I can't believe I didn't think of this - I think I was just so frazzled by the alarms blaring my brain couldn't think properly. I'll be lifting up the floor for a look tomorrow!

Thanks very much, looks like tomorrow will herald my inauguration into carpet lifting!
Honestly I am so bloody baffled by this. I removed the smoke alarm that would be affected by vibration from the loft floor (which was in the room directly underneath), but the other alarms still go off when someone walks up there (they're all wired together, so when one goes off they all go off). I removed the one that's in the loft too, but it still happens. I have no fecking idea what else to do 😅 should we go in under the loft floor to have a look, or into the ceiling underneath the loft floor? Any suggestions for what to look for? Should I be concerned that vibration is affecting wiring? Is it spooky ghosts?

There is a wrong way to be right about something, and this comment is a great example of that.

Um, no you don't. I mean you can do it that way if you want I suppose, but you can just use the good ol' decline button too (repeatedly, on various screens, with your network cable unplugged. Fuck Windows)

it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account
I'm not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn't true.

If only every country would follow suit so money doesn't get hidden in so-called "tax havens".

Maybe they're going by body mass? 1 Hamas = the weight of 10 babies, so that's what makes it right! Logic!

Oh, it was supposed to be a joke. I see.
I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as "anywhere north of the M25". So, lemmings, where is 'the north' to you?
I reckon it’s Anne Robinson. Fight me.
"Based on these findings, the authors warn that more than a fifth of ecosystems worldwide, including the Amazon rainforest, are at risk of a catastrophic breakdown within a human lifetime."
"The Archbishops' Council confirmed it was "ending the contracts" of all three board members - acting chair Meg Munn, Jasvinder Sanghera and Steve Reeves. The latter two recently claimed the Church had been obstructive and interfered with their work."
