So that's what this was about and why Team Trump allowed it to happen. Can't believe I failed to see that for myself. Great plan.

For years the restaurant owners have gotten away with paying shit wages to their staff. Thus the practice of "tipping" - originally an occasional recognition of "above and beyond" service but now a routine expectation. The restaurant owners thought they were so smart in exporting their payroll costs onto their mug customers.

I'm glad to see they are finally getting a dose of reality. People work for you = you have to pay them a decent wage and not rip them off.

Tea is really good for your body. It's the leaves of the Camilla Sinensis plant - green tea is just the leaves, black tea (99.5% the most popular) is the fermented leaves. Contains all sorts of healthy bioflavonoids and good stuff.

Impossible to get a nice cup of tea in the USA. I don't know why because unless you are a total snob about the tea ritual a cup of tea is a small disposable bag of dried stuff , with boiling water added. Not rocket science.

In Russian prisons they traditionally make a brew named "chai" which is ultra-fermented tea or something like that. Can get slightly high on it.

It's a shame you kicked our asses and threw the tea in the harbour but hey thems the breaks.

This only applies to North America and your slightly odd date formats.. The rest of us should be immune.

If restaurant workers get decently paid then they no longer need all that tipping crap.

French spies want Olympics opening ceremony scrapped – media

Last week’s terrorist attack in Russia has reportedly raised concerns over the event becoming a target

One US Gallon is equal to 3.785411784 Litres One litre costs 1.45 GBP = 1.8 USD (average retail price for March 2024)

So that's 6.8 dollars per gallon here in UK. More or less normal price for us and it won't be an election issue.

tl;dr Lucky Americans count your blessings!

I am using a modern version of Fedora and seems I am "probably not vulnerable"

I have spent time around shipping containers and I can tell you that they are extremely tough steel boxes and also are airtight. They have to be because they are exposed on the deck of the ship for weeks in potentially hostile sea conditions.

I really cannot see shipping live children in containers and expecting them to be delivered still alive and in good shape. Even in modified containers let's say you made some airholes but nobody can realistically live inside a metal box for indefinite periods of time.

If they are shipping kidnapped children around the world it would make yugely more sense to find some way to fly them, or if that were too hard to conceal then at least some other kind of ship (non-container.)

Seems crazy to me. Some guys show up claiming to be FBI then do a nanosecond flash of their supermarket loyalty cards then refuse to identify themselves because "they already just did."

For me that would have been enough to stop interacting with them, go back inside, and either ignore them until they went away or if sufficiently concerned then call the real police.

I would say that sex is THE most common focus of popular song lyrics.

I could go on listing these all day

Already thought of that and counted the stripes on each to see if I could come up with anything. Would have liked to find a connection but ultimately it's a striped sweater which sold in huge numbers.

That stripey jumper is incredibly fashionable (don't ask me why) so my guess would be no not same identical garment.

My feeling is false flag by the Russians. They clearly had the alleged perps already under close surveillance otherwise how did they find them so quickly? And if already keeping tabs on them why would they let them go ahead with their plan?

Could even be that they arrested them prior to the attack and got them to detail exactly what was supposed to happen. Thus whoever is really behind it thinks it was a success.

The building was from 2009 so could be it was expendable so they evacuated everyone and blew it up.

Now for US/EU under pressure to send even more money and weapons there is a face-saving off-ramp that "Ukraine went too far. How can we fund these monsters." And Russians themselves can bolster support from their own people.

Thanks for that I was wondering why. I never heard of accident-prone signs. We have "accident black-spot" instead.

I'm in UK and just checked a few cans of soup - the barcodes don't conform to the chart. Don't believe this post is accurate.

Unbelievably it is not illegal in UK to have video surveillance in a public toilet.

I know this because I was in the toilets of Wolverhampton train station and saw a camera watching me taking a leak. I complained to the train company and they explained they previously had problems with some kind of antisocial behaviour in the toilets and they were allowed to have cameras to combat that.

You're completely right, but to be fair the word "bazooka" is even now occasionally used by non-experts, for example to refer to RPG or NLAW.

I had a look at the history of the bazooka and it is quite fascinating. At the beginning of World War 2 the only way for infantry to disable a tank was to do same as Hamas do in modern times - a soldier runs up and plants a charge on the tank then runs away again. Obviously not ideal if you are an infantryman.

It was relatively easy to come up with a grenade which would pierce armour with a shaped charge but the difficult problem was how to launch it from a distance. Too heavy to throw or fire from a rifle. The development team happened to see a handy metal tube in a junkyard and realised that they could use that to shield the soldier from the launch rocket.

The bazooka was rigged together in quite a short time and was such a success when demo-ed that the brass ordered a load on the spot.

Ex- UK prime minister Liz Truss spoke at CPAC recently and used the phrase "Conservatives need a bigger bazooka."

I had a friend tell me about it and they said something like how terrible it was for politicians to be threatening people with weapons. Remember that we are not allowed to own guns in UK and most people have a distorted vision of the USA as massively gun-crazy. Don't know where friend got the bazooka thing from but assume the Fake News. Who incidentally have run a lot of negative stories about Liz Truss in other respects.

Completely business as usual by the globalists.

Create Problem - Await Reaction - Provide Solution.

1. Create problem. Flood everywhere with porn.

2. Wait for reaction - everyone rightly complains that minors can dine at the all-you-can-eat porn buffet.

3. Provide solution - no more anonymous use of internet. Now when you post as FakeName17 and criticise the government they can trace you right back to real life and throw you in the slammer.

Aljazeera was at one time an authentic news channel. I don't know who got to them but they are now 100% in the Fake News Association.

"Putin will continue his reign" trying to make him sound like a king or queen. Presidents don't "reign."

"Tighten his grip" , "opposition have been silenced"

Sheesh

Haha love the 0.5 out of 5 "Health Star Rating"

It looks disgustingly sweet.

What's so great about that? The "government" will just declare that today is LGBwhatever day so we're flying its flag.

They will say that any flag they want to fly is on government business supporting the government's LGBwhatever initiative.

The dead one's life and career sounded very much like "worked with spooks." The theory you posted is a believable one but I have a feeling it goes deeper. Pregnancy/abortion can't be ruled out but even the royals understand where babies come from and can do contraception. So not contradicting you but I think there must be a lot more to it.
