Married, four kids, practical though fairly heavily educated. Always willing to learn. Tries to challenge assumptions and logic where questionable.

@gurgle_io @adnashmyash The US northeaast is historically part of the UK.

Louisiana is historically part of France

Alaska is of course historically part of Russia. Sold by a tsar, not the current government.

(yes, I know Europeans were all invaders!)

So.. You happy with giving them back?

[Ben @bkaner7]

@bluerunsonly @SophyRidgeSky Probably ought to check your assumptions.
The Guardian isn't American, let alone Californian.

@Rainmaker1973 Yes. 19 - (34-19)/3 =14

Or solve
h+4s=34, h+s=19
=> s=5, h =14

@JackBMontgomery @campbellclaret Remember that if everybody starts "sovereign", then some will acquire power. And that's likely not to be you.

Voting to become indentured to someone else who has been clear they want to obtain and keep power may not be wise.

@DianaHarding7 @ThatAlexWoman (though this isn't massively relevant to UK colonies), does that include Haiti 🤔

@ksorbs Which party is led and funded by male narcissist billionaires who make fun of others as losers, boast about their wealth, and one rants in capitals on the other's media platform?

Think this one through.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@janeclarejones @AlisonMoyet No, that's correct. . E.. I... T... H.. E.. R

Sorry. My humour is terrible. I know.

And so does my family.

@CastiglioneFrnk @Rainmaker1973 What precisely is the aerodynamics that would achieve this on a flat numberplate right at the front of the car at a standard height above the road?

Which was the surface used for the count mentioned.

(aka they did think of that!!)

[Ben @bkaner7]

@kelvmackenzie Root cause - under funding of social services due to austerity when we have an ageing population, causing overloaded hospitals, and a rhetoric against free movement reducing the ability to provide affordable care
Supported by... You.

@ChrisMartzWX Modelling creates a hypothesis - under conditions x, y will be observed.

If it works well against known data, you extend it to see where it breaks

If it continues to work, it's useful (but not a proof)

If it breaks, you know your model needs to change. Also useful

Aka science

@leletypo @Ancient_Masc @7WeeksCoffee Haha. The twelve tribes of Israel are not tribal?
And what's special about the Catholic Church, vs Nicosian, Greek orthodox, Ethiopian, Methodist, Lutheran, Quaker, or indeed Judaism, Sunni, Shia, Mormon.. Or hindu, shinto, Wiccan, zoroastrian....
You do you. Your choice.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@leletypo @Ancient_Masc @7WeeksCoffee Oh dear. It's a translation of a tribal text into Greek into Latin into other languages, not a direct dictation.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@leletypo @Ancient_Masc @7WeeksCoffee Naive.

Hmm.

From someone who follows a bunch of stories written by an aggressive misogynist tribal priesthood 3000 years ago to retain their position in the power structure.

And doesn't realise that genesis 2:7 contradicts his own statement.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@ronrule Yeah. Baywatch &co had no agenda and didn't objectify women. Everybody was rich. (well, everybody that mattered...). There was no famine in Ethiopia, or Aids.. And global climate collapse wasn't a consideration because the oil companies were still suppressing the research.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@Ancient_Masc @7WeeksCoffee Though according to the Bible, life begins at first breath. I'm not advocating that, BTW, but inconsistency in who gets protected divides societies - mother/child, rich/poor, white/other, owner/slave.

[Ben @bkaner7]

@IanMaltman @terrychristian Except, six of the last seven years have shown above normal activity on the ACE index, and over the last 70 years it looks like this

Which means enjoy your pint but don't assume you'll learn much..

[Ben @bkaner7]

@wolfofx A half empty bottle of laphroaig.

It's not just how it got there, from here.

It's more.. Why didn't they finish it? Are they idiots?

[Ben @bkaner7]

@heterolifecross @DeanAbbott If perinatal mortality was as high in men as in women, you might have a leg to stand on.

But it isn't. So you haven't.

What about the peace and support she deserves?
