    Was the first shot by law officers into the disarmed man's back as he was getting up? Or have I got it wrong? Here is the instant taken from the video... [image: 1769433035462-screenshot_20260125-071740_duckduckgo.jpg] P.S. If yes, I'd call it execution

    When Alex Honnold risks his life climbing a skyscraper he’s a “legend” but when I risk my life day-drinking Bacardi and smoking Lamberts I’m a “bad parent”. Where’s the justice in that?

    It’ll be a night launch. Wish it was daylight but that’s only possible for one or two of these dates in April. [image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png]

    Yeah we canceled several after reviewing our obscene level of spending in 2025. And I mean obscene. The subscriptions were a drop in the bucket but still felt good to cancel. I even pared down my media content by about half.

    Precious medals are picking up the dollar’s slack as a reserve currency. USD is now less than half of global currency reserves. First time in living memory.

    Interesting. My bedside read is a very academic book called The Nazi Seizure of Power that goes into great detail of how a single town (Northeim) got Nazified. Down to what local personalities, businesses, newspapers, etc did at the end of the republic through the transition and terror and finally through the end of the regime. It was written within 15-20 years of the war’s end and relies on months of local interviews as well as archives.

    It's 100 years to the day in 1926 when John Logie Baird demonstrated the first working TV which he'd invented. It'll never catch on they said. And it's 90 years since the BBC started the worlds first regular public TV broadcasting service, in 1936.

    @taiwan_girl I'd love to, but there's not a winning lottery ticket rich enough to finance that place. Its not really the usual stye I like, but it is attractive, the teak fittings and light. And we all want a retractable roof for stargazing. Yes, what is it with multi- bathroom residences these days. I mean, its good to know the outdoor privy is long gone, but surely two toilets are sufficient for most houses? That Bel Air home has four floors so 5 toilets per floor🤪 My mate is moving into a modern pretty-ordinary 3 floor semi-detached town house. Three bedrooms, four toilets. Why four, when one or two of those rooms could be more useful as storage or an extra hobby room etc.

    This reminds me to remind you what I remind my kids all the time... how lucky are we to have aluminum in our lives? Such a cool metal and so many uses.

    Very cool, I do that for my Christmas tree each year. I've been using the same gallon milk jug (with water, of course) and set up using Pascal's Principle (?) or whatever it's called where the water levels remain the same. I fill the jug up with water every few days as the tree sucks it up.
