Shimano SLX would be more the 700-900 range. Also, what @Cougar said, did the laptop get accidentally dropped into a bandsaw?

So those of you that disagree with having Starmer what do you propose? And who would you rather be at the lead?

ii) if all you’ve got in favour of Sir Starmer is “yeah, but Corbyn” then you don’t have very much in your locker.

Hard working, extremely competent and credible. Being a center right person myself, I would probably disagree with a lot of Starmer’s policies yet would vote him in a heartbeat, since unlike most MPs he doesn’t come across as an opportunistic lunatic.

I’ve done a little bit of surfing, and wouldn’t want any extra weight when popping up.

The fall of top ship was inevitable imho, clothes that were equal in quality to primark but 4 times the price.

^Straight to the jugular.

A good substitute for bench press, are chest dips(or just dips). Once you get good with them and can do enough reps per set, you can incorporate a belt to stick weight on. Best thing is they don’t require anyone spotting if you want to test limits.

It really isn’t. I know loads of educated, liberal and passionate anti-racists – which I count myself as one – who are now scared to talk about Israel-Palestine for fear of being called an anti-semite.

The days of discussing sensitive topics without being called names is long gone. The Labour party should acknowledge it, since its members and supporters have a lot to do with it. Hence the irony of JC complaining about anti-Semitism being exaggerated, even if to some it is done rightly so.

So instead of deciding eligibility based on established conventions such as national election eligibility (which would be easy to extrapolate in the Indy scenario and is a very fair one), you come up with this bizarre arbitrary ruleset, and call it “people of Scotland”, where can I find this IndyRef Kool-aid? What’s next, reducing the voting age to 15?

There was a lot of moaning during Brexit for excluding EU citizens from the vote, yet now this “People of Scotland” ruleset will exclude expats, I guess my mental gymnastics are not strong enough for this one.

It’s time to reduce your calorie intake then. Loosing weight at the end of the day is about maintaining a calorie deficit. Exercising is good because it keeps you healthy, but I think its wrong to see it as a “calorie” burning tool, especially with how easy it is to eat it back.

At this point he should concede, BUT I also think there should be a large scale investigation/audit into this election, addressing possible voter fraud and also how the counting could have been streamlined so the results in election day don’t look so wonky. The number of mail-in ballots used in this election has been to my knowledge unprecedented in the US, and dare I say in any other civilised country?

For Example, Michingan sending ballots to everyone that they had in their system(instead of requiring absentee requests) resulted in great election participation, on the other hand it doesn’t look great that their databases are several years(if not a decade?) out of date.

Unless Boris does a 180 and completely aces the next three years, I can’t see him being elected again. Once this global pandemic is over, it will inevitably expose the failings of the management of this crisis. There are only so many 2 or 3 word punch lines one can come up with before the public gets sick of it.

Correct me if I am wrong but, if you plug into the motherboard you should be able to tell if the GPU is the issue?

Also, have you tried that thing where computer is turned off(also from the back) and you press the turn on button, to get rid of any charge?

A neocon Warhawk like McCain is somehow admired for his human decency in this forum? Are you kidding me? Has the Trump derangement syndrome affected you lot this much? I’m sure him and his buddies would have found another suitable conflict to interject in resulting in another 20 year war.

Of all the states to be the deciding ones, it had to be Michigan:

And of all cities it has to be Detroit:

This is going to be one long news cycle.

People seem to forget he is 77 years old. Not everyone gets to be on your 70s with Trump energy, or Pelosi, who is 80 years old.

If Trump does win who the hell will take polls seriously ever again?

I think that ship sailed a while ago, even with Trumps likely defeat.

Even if you disregard how controversial she is (for whatever reason)

She’s had some very stupid moments. Like using the confirmation hearing of Mattis to virtue signal, or riding the Jess Smolett “incident” which then turned out that was of his making.

Bernie Sanders? Seriously? He wouldn’t have stood a chance!

You’d be surprised, he always polled well against Trump, and I don’t think sanders was getting the extra cool polling points that Biden/Clinton always get. In addition, I think he would have resonated well with some of the working class voters in the swing states. That said, imo pre-covid Trump was in a strong position to get re-elected

I don’t if this is in full effect:

@dazh

Biden was a BAD centrist candidate. He’s had a bad slip ups in press where his cognitive abilities have come into question. He carries both negative and positive baggage from being Obama’s VP. The stuff about his son, as much as a huge percentage of the media likes to ignore it, the general American population wont.

If any of you thought Biden was a great candidate, well, here we are in an election, where without a global pandemic his chances would probably be very slim. After all, before Covid, the US economy looked good, and had just avoided a confrontation with Iran.

Go for the standard sizes. Closest to 43 is a 42inch. Tbh At that price point go for the one with the biggest discount.

Edit: actually was wrong, 43 is now the standard size.

Agree and dissagree – I remember hearing back in the Clinton Trump election, some democrats refusing to vote at all because they didn’t like Hillary – essentially handing votes to the republicans. It’s a double edged sword I guess.

Bernie voters were under the impression that the DNC had screwed Bernie over to favour Hillary. I can’t remember the exact details of how and why, but I do remember this was a thing in 2016.

@Daffy

22% of Dems think Clinton is honest and trustworthy:

@Daffy

Clinton had a scandal ridden tenure-I’ve actually listened through the hours of the congressional hearings, had no charisma and a large portion of the US thought she was a straight up liar. She represented everything that I disliked about the political class.

Biden’s age and past health problems are showing in his press interactions. He was also part of the crime bills that resulted in the present mass incarceration. Then there is the baggage of his son, which as much as some people want to pretend it doesn’t exist, its a ticking time bomb.

Boris and Corbyn at least somewhat stand for something, which is more than any of the above candidates can say. Also notice how I put Trump as a shit choice too…..

Which makes him exactly 1000000 x better than Trump, his response to coronavirus alone is enough to show the truth in that

I disagree, but each to their own. I was more saying in the sense of, if Trump wins, there still will be the Russia rhetoric plaguing his second term. If Biden wins, they will get a fresh batch of the same BS in the form of Chinese/Ukrainian interference through Hunter Biden.

Doesn’t the amazon firestick do all of the above?

2016: Hillary vs Trump
2020: Biden vs Trump.

I almost feel sorry for Americans having such shit choices. It almost makes our Boris vs Corbyn seem like good options.

Leave the room to take a call?

Since summer, they seem to have made a priority for schools and universities to re-open at almost any cost. Hence this seems like it’s a lockdown designed so that that schools and universities can keep operating.

Another example of someone that being a landlord, when they clearly are not prepared for it.

What’s the point of this thread if in the first page it’s already the circle jerk that the Donald trump thread is….

This warrants a book titled “why I don’t talk about anti-semitism with labour voters”. On the other hand, it’s time the Labour Party starts behaving like a real alternative to BoJo and not hook themselves to the leader that delivered them their biggest defeat in many decades.

What proportion of students live in halls compared to private lets?

1st years tend to live in halls (private or university owned). After that you tend to live in a shared house.

Overseas students and tend to stick to halls sometimes through their whole degree.

I always love the ‘don’t wear black’ statements. If you can’t see the lights, the bicycle or, god forbid, a massive **** horse then you simply shouldn’t be driving in the first place. I wear reflective gear (some of it in colour and some black/grey) to help with being seen, but the onus shouldn’t be on the cyclist. It should firmly be on the car driver.

Well lit, fully reflective is not the majority. Lets not pretend that there isn’t a sizeable proportion of cyclists that think appropriate lighting is a shitty £1 light that you get with a new bike, or that thin reflective strap under your armpit, is appropriate for a dark rainy winter evening in a twisty bumpy country road whilst you are being blinded by oncoming yummymummys in their SUVS. I myself go for the Christmas tree effect.

It sounds like they have a messed up relationship with 0 communication. Both should grow up and take some responsibility for their actions. Evidence of their poor communications is how A breaks the news to B, and how B reacts.

The viscous circle: I am mad about something you did, therefore I will behave like X, which will make you mad, and therefore you will behave like Y, which will make me mad. Which then probably escalated to history time and then climaxed in the bombshell revelation, which comes across as another shitslinging opportunity.

Great dogs. The only thing you have to watch out is for food. They seem to be perpetually hungry. As the breeder told us, they will eat until they explode if you let them.

@ hols2

You are completely right, in addition Spain got hit very hard with the Influenza, even members of the royal family got it. We still don’t know 100% where it originated from .

Something RWD.
