I can visualise the flecks of saliva on his lips as he imagines the end of NATO and the subsumption of Europe into a Moscow-based authoritarian oligarchy run by his paymasters, and the dachas and yachts he could stand to buy when it happens.

And this somehow arrives at a highly refined piece of code rather than the software equivalent of Habsburg Jaw?

also the Euro and, if you’re in, you’re also in Schengen. No more precious hour-long security queues at any railway station having cross-Channel services because the English are special.

In the same way that their AWACS planes weren’t involved in helping the IDF bomb Gaza?

Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers

Wasn’t Simon Jenkins the thinker who asserted that Ukraine should surrender and NATO should leave Russia’s “traditional sphere of influence”?

So, an antisemite?

The Fabian Society, for whom socialism is essentially the Kingdom of Heaven: you won’t reach it, neither will your grandchildren, nor their grandchildren, but it may happen at some point in the distant future of humanity, so hold onto the idea to make the status quo more bearable. The best we can do is tiny, incremental reforms. It’s Burkean Conservatism in a red rosette.

The outer-suburban councils, where everybody drives and resents congestion charges/low emission zones/cyclists/tax money being spent on public transport for metropolitan “elites”? The fash have a better chance than you think.

Burr grinders make a world of difference. I can’t see how anyone could drink coffee made using a blade grinder.

Looks like he’s found his happy place

The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?

He’s sort of like Cthulhu: the only one of his kind, who came into the world fully formed to represent the idea of Grinch and nothing else. He’s not the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Grinch, who works as a quantity surveyor, has a love of crosswords and Italian opera, once wanted to be a baseball player and happens to be miserly about Christmas.

I’m surprised she was not turned away at the border. She’s not a UK citizen, has recently been deported by an allied country, and given that British law enshrines the IHRA definition of antisemitism, her legal status would be equivalent to that of a Holocaust denier, and her presence would be considered “not conducive to public order”.

So any councils implementing a 4-day week will be dissolved and put under administration by Accenture or Serco?

Europe isn’t just luxury marques. It has a huge market of everyday goods, including food made there, which meets the same standards the UK hasn’t yet abandoned and is close enough to be more cost-effective than shipping over the oceans. US and Chinese manufactured goods may go up slightly (but not by much; the UK would have the same deal as the EU), but that would be offset by access to the European market (not to mention the UK being able to export to the EU with a lot less hassle; the Europeans do buy a lot of British goods, and would buy more if they became more competitive).

We need to fork Firefox and fund enough developers to make it viable as a standalone project that’s not just a laggy, disenshittified version of Firefox. It has been done with LibreOffice and CoMaps, so theoretically it is possible.

That’s like some sort of gluteal Tardis, thiccer on the inside than the outside?

Peans is a dessert.
