  • do you know where Poe's law originated?

    Yes, I've read the article that I attached

  • I guarantee the people downvoting you are the same numb nuts that refuse to use /s.

    To clarify the joke for people, it's not about any legitimate hatred of France, it's the same type of banter you'd use when talking about a rival sports team.

    The English and Scots hate eachother and make jokes at eachothers expense all the time, but in reality it's actually much more like a friendly rivalry between brothers.

    Maybe Americans don't get it because they don't really have any friendly rivals, just people that legit hate them /s

  • It's just a joke.

  • It's comparative.

    It's obviously horrifically expensive compared to a £200 bottom of the range mountain bike.

    However, you can type "e mountain bike" in to Google and £10k, £12k models immediately come up and suddenly £5k doesn't seem so bad, especially if the specifications are very similar, as the article suggests.

    Obviously these are enthusiast models, for people whom mountain biking is a special interest. They're not aimed at people that get the bike out a couple of times a year to cycle round the local park.

  • She just loves the books, bath buns were something she'd already heard about but never actually seen or had a recipe for. Where as I had never heard of them at all.

  • You'd probably be more in to it if you were interested in the history of food.

    For me personally, I do find it interesting to consider what people did for food, in an age where you couldn't just pop to the supermarket and buy literally whatever you wanted, or select from a plentiful choice or restaurants and takeaways.

    My girlfriend loves Jane Austen, so she would have been interested in this video in particular.

    It's a well presented and well made video, even though the interest could be considered niche, as you put it, it saves me from needing to go through several pages of Wikipedia 8/10

  • If kids aren't considered mentally developed enough to vote, smoke, drink, join the army and all the rest of it then they shouldn't be choosing whether to block their puberty or not.

    I'm against the principle that a child could end up making a choice that isn't fully reversible, ending up being held responsible for that choice later as an adult and having to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

  • This is just the beginning of AI!

  • I use mine to mix doughs and they're ideal for resting and rising.

    I make loaves too but if you don't want to hand mix a load of doughs or cake mixes and your house is too cold for rising then they can be more useful.

    I've had mine two or three years and have bought bread only a couple of times since. It's probably still someway off from paying for itself but the bread is much tastier!

    If you buy one, I recommend one with a separate yeast dispenser.

  • There's been years of propaganda on this.

    A guy embarrasses the richest and most powerful people in the world by telling you the dirty secrets they were hiding from you. And when they tell you that it's the messenger who's the enemy, you believe them SMH.

    If you're against wikileaks, you're against the rights of journalists and you're opposed to the freedom of information.

  • Source: dude, trust me

  • How is he a Russian spy?

    Wiki leaks are published for all to view, not just Russia.

  • Where does it say that the airline didn't send the plane for maintenance?

    Airlines don't do their own maintenance, they send them back to Boeing.

    A plane isn't like a car, you don't just have a go at changing the oil or fixing the brakes yourself and then hope for the best, you send it to the approved place when scheduled or you don't fly.

  • If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.

  • In Glasgow you can see the RSNO for less than £30, I was also surprised that it wasn't all toffs in dinner suits, there were all sorts of people there and casual dress is OK!

  • And people can't understand why I still buy CDs and DVDs, , ,

  • Yup, my pension contribution is about £5k a year and I feel damn lucky to have that!

    Imagine having a final salary pension and than allowing it to be voted away for future generations!

  • Why not just withdraw troops from Jordan? Sounds like the easiest and most effective strategy for stopping deaths of troops in the middle east.
