@_mind_your_biz @igorsushko absolutely agree. Gloating over the death of civilians is utterly reprehensible. I've followed Sushko for some years but this is really scraping the barrel of depravity. Surely we're better than this FFS??

@OhanaAmmo @CynischeKijker @McBrideLawNYC "Men are out of my daughter’s locker room"
Are you even remotely aware of the supernova sized irony in your statement? Just make sure your President doesn't turn up in the locker room. And your 'portfolio is up'. Seriously? That's your metric??? I doubt you set foot in France..

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@davetroy @ElBeardsley Yes, Legionella in hospital AC could be a serious risk - but entirely preventable with routine maintenance.
In France there is, to an extent, group-think AC is the devil's work - yet annual 'carbon footprint' of a single home AC is equiv. about 1/3 tank of avge car petrol fill-up

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@Microinteracti1 @reallyoptimized if being made of sturdier stuff means unable to sleep, miserable and refusing to adopt <green> tech. Our French neighbours half expired, some possibly expired. We're odd ones out with AC. Costs pennies to run, super efficient and..comfortable. 41c next Monday. Still comfortable.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@vikkimol @RightNUFC @AldiUK this is absolutely bizarre. We live in France and the Aldi chain here is Aldi Nord (I think) while UK is Aldi Sud. But the equivalent seeded bloomer we've been buying is exactly the same as described, for the last few weeks - dry and much too firm, as if opened and going stale??

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@BarefootDwarf @Microinteracti1 Hundreds of thousand have family both sides of border. Ukrainian wives / Russian husbands - vice versa .The balance of violence, the brutality of a regime and the ignorance/ fear of millions does not make them all guilty. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Ceausescu? Universally popular?

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@TU_144_ @SamaHoole give or take, but around one third of UK farms are tenant farmers. How does any UK Govt reconcile that uncomfortable fact? Not disagreeing with you - but the problem is deep and structural.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@docrussjackson Given the terms of Hannah's employment contract the fact is that termination without justification is pretty much baked in. That does not make it correct - regardless of our views of the absolutely odious Laxley Lennon. Principles are universal. Period.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@ROHIRRIM_RONIN @historyinmemes @drawandstrike Perhaps you were asleep at the time?

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@RobbieDas @docrussjackson utterly absurd statement.
The sentence is profoundly punitive. As much as I loathe the idiotic beliefs held by this teenager, I'm also aware that people can and do change. I'm sick of the lock 'em up or hang 'em brigade. Just sick of it.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@GavinMatheson @doctoriaindarcy @WestminLegal @DanNeidle ...but you've got to hand it to him - Westminster Legal is a fine name!

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@GalaadGwenn @eastlake_e @Vanguard_WW2 I really shouldn't dignify your idiocy with a response and you'd be ostracised in Scotland for your pathetic ignorance. Proud? Scot? hilarious. As a Scot who has visited Oradour twice and witnessed the destruction, I suggest you get your arse over to France before lying.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@SamaHoole at BEST, this is misleading.
Animal fats produce carcinogenic compounds when over-heated too - butter, lard etc.
Smoking tobacco vastly more dangerous - persistent exposure to a smorgasbord of toxins
I could go on..
A good pro-meat blogger - undermining his pro-meat message.

The Guardian's Analysis:

Labour’s better than expected thrashing may allow Starmer to cling on in No 10
Rowena MasonWhitehall editor

Despite sterling efforts of RMW, P Crera et al, Starmer still PM? Imagine that...elected PM for 5 years yet has the cheek to 'cling' No10.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@Microinteracti1 exactly - it's a nonsense to compare the USA with Europe based on GDP. The USD is seriously overvalued (reserve currency) so PPP is the far better metric to use. Also add to this the madness of US healthcare costs. And the paid holidays deficit.
I know where I'd rather live.

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@SamaHoole I'm all for a more honest debate about farming and land use and I thoroughly enjoy Sama's message in that context. Furthermore I love a good steak. The Big however : anti-seed oil rhetoric is frequently misleading and undermines much of the good work Sama puts out in other posts

[Rowlandz @Rowlandz10]

@SamaHoole Claude says:
Bottom line: Classic meat-blogger rhetoric. Take a kernel of historical fact (industrial use, erucic acid concerns), skip the part where the science actually resolved those concerns, then bolt on unsubstantiated claims about inflammation and chronic disease.

@SebJohnsonUK Stop and ask ONE question: who is HelloSafe? (produced this chart)
They have
No known role in official Statistics.
No academic research track record
No peer-reviewed publications
No recognised methodology framework

It's confected on the basis of 'that looks about right'.
