@RegexTip I always feel like - if it's built in, why do we need to import it?

@Rainmaker1973 My metric tape measure has it's size stamped on right enough. In inches...

On Red Square I saw Xi Jinping, ballistic missile launchers and met a 99-year-old war veteran. 80 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany Russia is celebrating. But no sign of victory for Russia in Ukraine more than 3 years after its full-scale invasion. Producer @BenTavener

@stats_feed Oh...that's what "Make America Great" means. Got it.

[Freelance Gawper @BobCorbettNZ]

@stats_feed Perhaps the question ought to ask if we thought the earth was flat. A sphere is too open a question. It's almost a sphere, so that makes it 'not a sphere'. If you're asking if we think it's flat, just say that.

[Freelance Gawper @BobCorbettNZ]

@Rainmaker1973 Yes, I can.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

A reminder: Russia signed a treaty with Ukraine in 1997, accepting that Crimea was part of Ukraine. In 2014 Russia infiltrated Crimea and seized it. Now Pres Trump proposes that Ukraine should accept the loss of Crimea, and blames Pres Zelenskyy for refusing this peace deal.

@Rainmaker1973 On older cars, the solenoid just connected the electricity from the battery to the motor. There was a small mechanical helix on the end of the starter motor (called a bendix) which first pushed out the gear on the starter to engage the ring on the flywheel

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Elon Musk just called Trump’s tariff advisor, Peter Navarro, “dumber than a sack of bricks” and said he should consult the made up expert he cites in all his books, Ron Vara (anagram of Navarro). Time to get the popcorn in I think… 😆

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Wow – the Chinese Embassy are quoting Ronald Reagan, who said tariffs are used by those who want a “quick political advantage, who risk America’s prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group”. Sound like anyone you know?

@NoContextBrits TURN OFF THE POWER immediately. Then trace where the water is coming from.
