- Comment on Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money... 1 week ago:
Coincidentally, I saw an article entitled “Buy, Borrow, Die”. If you don’t need to have a salary paying job (so not applicable to almost everyone I know or have ever met), you buy an asset let it grow, refinance it (borrowings grow), spend the money you borrowed (tax free) some for more assets, some for pleasure. Rinse and repeat until you die with a shitload of debt that then gets wiped out.

- Comment on ‘Seasons have become confused’: the people struggling in UK’s relentless rain 1 week ago:
We have ways to describe rain from “that fine rain that gets you really wet”, to “its pissing down” and “cats & dogs”. Not quite Inuit levels of specificity. However, you aren’t even British if you can’t hold a solid rain conversation
- Comment on ‘Seasons have become confused’: the people struggling in UK’s relentless rain 1 week ago:
Our (UK) social glue is talking about the weather. We are rain experts. When we speak out about the rain, you know it’s bad.

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 1 week ago:
Cost does no equal tperformance. Take a look at audiosciencereview.com (ASR). as well as Erin’s audio other (YouTube channell). They both measure performance. I sold my £3k amp and replaced with one for £1k. My partner hated my speakers (too big and ugly), and so were sold to someone who wanted them and replaced by budget options that measure very well. My music sounds better (almost entirely down to the speakers) and we had a great little holiday and it all takes up much less space.

- Comment on Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins 2 weeks ago:
And the $multi billion companies will use every bent strategy available to delay, prevent, obfuscate evidence, attack & destroy witnesses etc. They will water down the impact to harm minimilisation outcome and so set out the precedent for how bad companies can be and get away with it. We really need that precedent to be seriously strong.

Trump spending whatever money or resources it takes to kill 2 people. Even if we believed that these weren’t just two fishermen, this remains an extrajudicial execution, without any option to defend themselves, outside of the US.

There is little that the government can do. The main buyers aren’t paying enough for milk and the other buyers aren’t able to buy enough volume. An option is subsidies, but we thenwe need to add that to the UK tax. Tax that’s avoided by the biggest buyers of milk…

- Comment on US | Renee Nicole Good said ‘I’m not mad at you’ before ICE agent shot her, video shows 1 month ago:
That ICE agent must have been uncontrollably furious that she wasn’t mad at him. Perfectly logical to the sort of person who desperately seeks out a role where he can live out his fantasies of being ultimately powerful, vengeful and feared. God syndrome.
