His dithering, weak, incoherent performance in the debate? Or is that already forgotten?

Seriously, there’s better eating on a pigeon, and they’re easier to catch.

One Big Union.

The problem is that all voting systems have undesirable corner cases and anomalies. The voting system isn’t really the main problem, it’s the political culture, corruption and the inconsistent application of rule of law.

Fascists don’t have the foresight to think of consequences of climate change. They’re also in denial that climate change is a thing at all, since one of their sources of funding is fossil-fuel extractors, including a certain large Eurasian nation-state.

Their real motivation for being anti-immigrant is that they are racist scum who are always looking for vulnerable populations to victimise.

I had a Japanese-American girlfriend for a couple of years who would gladly dispose of the prawn heads for me. I tried them (“how bad could they be?”) but it was a taste I could never acquire. And I’m open-minded about food-- tried natto and got to enjoy it, same with uni, even managed to have Taiwanese stinky tofu. The only other food I could never stomach was balut.

It’s a lot easier to build when you can tear down people’s houses anytime you like to make way for the train tracks.

And until that long-lead-time investment in public transport pays off, we’ll still need cars, and the choice is gas, hybrid or electric.

How convenient for them.

That’s good. Those goods are straight from factory to landfill, with only a brief operational life.

Yeah, the Russians are winning at the rate of 1000 dead or injured Russians per day and are having trouble press-ganging more young Russian men to be thrown into the meatgrinder. Their own manufacturing capability can’t keep their troops supplied, their losses of artillery and tanks exceed their ability to replenish them, and they’re buying ammunition and light armaments from Iran and China with money they don’t have.

And their three-day war is well into year 3.

If Russia is rewarded for its aggression, they are not going to stop with Ukraine. You’re not getting peace by appeasing them, you’re getting a guarantee of more war, more massive civilian casualties, more refugees, increasingly close to currently secure Western countries. Russia will not stop until it is forced to stop.

That’s what he did (and more) for the Taliban.

Someone must have thought that’s where the pet kitchens were located.

The commonly used optical disk technologies degrade over time. CD-RW more rapidly than CDR. It’s even worse for higher-density media.

Paper doesn’t last centuries. Anyway, punched cards don’t have a storage density that’s adequate for modern data volumes. You need something that’ll durably store nanometre-sized marks.

Do you think we have ORIGINALS or Greek or roman written texts?

In some cases we do. For example, the documents at Pompeii, those at Qumran, and other rare instances where documents have been preserved from the time they’re written. It’s also true that we have far more copies than originals, and that we’ve lost most of the works of many ancient authors.

There wasn’t a first debate. That was more of an ass-whipping. It was like watching a has-been WWE clown try to go into the ring with Tyson at his prime. Trump never engaged in debate, he just blathered and yammered like a demented, incontinent old racist.

Yeah, so it’s the west that’s been bombing, shooting and raping civilians in Ukraine? How could I have not noticed that before?

And you are not my friend.

A peace deal proposed by arms suppliers to one of the parties in the conflict just might be a bit one-sided, don’t you think?

Russia only exists in its present form because the Russians subjugated 190 other nationalities in a centuries-long imperialist expansion.
