@matigo Well said. You reveal their nonsense justifications. But it's like trying to stop a steam train isn't it? What does K.P.I. stand for? I didn't know they added sugars etc. to cigarettes. I did know about the Rock Salt/Polonium thing with respect to cigs. I can't help thinking you'd be a good candidate for working in the open source world at a company like Bitwarden. But I suppose there aren't an awful lot of paid jobs in that area.
@peemee Living on your own and not being able to move about must be miserable. What's actually wrong with the knee, is it the cartilage in the joint (arthritis) or is it the ligaments? You may have said before and I may have forgot…
It's nice to see leafy trees again. The tall ones near my house are still mostly bare though, so the view out of the window is still not great.
The advance of American lingo proceeds apace. I just heard a British person say 'slow up' instead of 'slow down'.
Someone is telling me that in America, crisps (potato chips) packets bear a warning about anal leakage. Really?
@phoneboy Speaking of tax at work. I read this today:
’The actual, real governmental federal budget as collected from U.S. taxpayer funds in the U.S., as enumerated by the ‘federal revenue’ has been typically in the $3-4 trillion range. And out of that number, we’re now edging towards $1 trillion as just the defense/military budget, alone.’
I don't think Gary Lighbody's voice (Snow Patrol) is very nice, even though some of their songs are decent. He sounds like he's recovering from a cold.
