Any amount of cards feels like a lot when the hands holding them are tiny.

Oh that would be so funny if the USA announces removing restrictions on Russian oil because of this, only for China to immediately sign a deal with Russia to take the lot.

I dont get the tense in this post. Are they going to “become” boomers? How does one become a boomer?

Look for longer rather than fatter avocado. Fatter has more room for larger nut, but since the nut is round and not oblong, a slimmer longer avocado will have less space wasted on the nut.

The parents probably pronounce “nuclear” as “nucular”.

He was Prime Minister when he lost his seat, not the opposition leader.

“Neuralink in the head”

Perfect typo… I think

Not even 3 months

Interesting point. Can the US military just fly anyone they like into their overseas bases in Europe etc, then just exit the base into the hosting country, having skipped immigration controls?

Suddenly and all over the place

not uncommon for fathers to die before their children.

Fsck, I didn’t know who Pete Rose was and thought you meant Trump was strong arming them into inducting Trump himself. And while it made me go WTF, it didn’t surprise me.

Re Five Eyes, they should stop helping the USA on that front immediately, as any info given to them will be used to crush internal dissent.

I guess by staying in they can derail it being useful to anybody else, veto new members, etc.

Maybe voting should be by policy. Each party lists, say, their top 8 policy points as a simple summary sentence each (has to be more concrete than just an aspiration like “protect our economy”). The combined points are randomised and printed on the voting paper. Voter marks all the policies they agree with. Each policy agreed with counts as a vote for that party (so each party can get more than one vote per person). The party with most points agreed with by the voters wins. If the winning party goes back on or does anything in contradiction to any of the policies they listed, the media has something solid to grill them on, and maybe could be some sort of trigger for a new election.
