  1. Actually, as I told you last time you made this desperate ploy up, she asked what I was laughing at so I showed her your post attempting to persuade everybody a £1,000 nylon puffa jacket was cool. So you're right to that extent - you do come up with some memorable shite.
  2. Haha you absolute cretin. You never fail to disappoint. Two points 1. Both of those news scraper sites are directly quoting the Mail. They even tell you that in the story. 2. I do howevefr like your proposition that he was more likely to be reading the story on two hyper obscure and tiny sites ranked below #700,000 in the world (c20,000 visits per month) than reading it on the world's 4th biggest news website with 375 million visits.
  3. Piggy!! How are you?? Just FYI the issue wasn't whether the Finnish variant existed, it was whether it was described as a "super" variant anywhere apart from the Daily Mail. But you tried, and that's important too.
  4. It's not so much an obsession. It's more being equipped with a memory greater than a gnat's. It enables me to repeat the ridiculous shyte you post back to you. Re the divorce in a marriage of two people its a 50:50 chance of who leaves who. Unsurprisingly, based on your track record, you cant even win a 50:50.
  5. According to Google it literally is my little 'processed food is bad' protein powder taking pal. The fourth entry down the list is simply a quote from the Mail headline.
  6. "Of course, the UK is the world's fifth largest economy with many talented people working in the logistics industry. It is entirely possible that the situation could improve. However, for that to happen, Boris Johnson and his cabinet will need to convince their critics that they are operating in the realms of reality." Think I might have found the flaw.
  7. Maybe you shouldn't read the Daily Mail.
  8. Exactly. I have prime membership and its awesome. But if one company is too good and too big they can dictate wages, decide if and how much tax they are going to pay, play governments off against each other and stifle innovation because they buy up emerging competitors. At some stage Amazon and some of the SM companies will have to be broken up like Standard Oil were in the states eons ago.
  9. Hybrid for me. I do look for fairtrade, no palm oil, avoid tax avoiders etc but if its the only one available or the preferred item is twice the price principles take second seat. I don't think there is any shame in that. The issue of ethical purchasing is so, so complicated even after working in a related field for 20 years there is still a huge amount I don't know even within my area. You can't expect consumers to make informed choice about everything from 'green' electricity, child labour in Bangladesh, caustic soda pumped into rivers by paper manufacturers, embedded carbon in manufactured goods or sort their recycling instantly telling the difference between PET and Polypropylene. It has to be governments who use the tax, tariff and grant schemes to differentiate product prices dependent on how they were produced.

    It's what Tim Berners-Lee would've wanted.

  12. Nope. Still wrong piggy. Massive logic gap. See if you can work it out. Here's a little hint for you. Replace covid with say anorexia, or Crohns disease. Does it still work? Nope. Do you know what I'm talking about? Nope.

    Coronavirus

    It is possible to argue that people with the same mindset are attracted to the same sort of jobs.........but I won't
  14. But that's not what you said is it? Not only are you thick but you're a coward, not man enough to own up when you've said something dumb. That's why you're the forum clown
  15. No there is a very clear correlation between exercising more, eating less and losing weight. If you were less pig shit thick you'd know that.

    Yep. I don't eat margarine so no chance of me getting divorced. Plus I don't have to do IT sales so mood is great too.

    Coronavirus

    Ah two pig shit thicks for the price of one. FYI he didn't claim overweight people were more likely to die of covid - thats so fucking well known even you two have grasped it. He said "75% of over 50s are over weight....it stands to reason that nearly everyone in covid wards are over weight". That's what you call a false or spurious correlation, just like owning a mondeo. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

    Coronavirus

    That's why they call you thick. 85% of patients are car drivers. 90% have kids. By your logic If you've got a Mondeo and a daughter you're bound to die of covid.

    Coronavirus

    Many of the hotels selected for isolation appear to have central air conditioning rather than individual units and venting for each room. 10 days of having the air from the rooms of people in isolation pumped into your space. Full marks for designing an infection machine.
  20. Ha. His 24yr old daughter has had it too and was quoted as jokingly saying it "didn't put her dad's genius into her brain, unfortunately".
  21. New Trump virus infections in the US peaked on January 20th, the day of Biden's inauguration and have been in steep decline ever since. Co-incidence? I don't think so....;)
  22. Maybe the Dems don't want him completely done and gone. Having Trump's attempted putsch defended by the Republicans and rehabilitated enough to keep him as a divisive figure with his voter base splitting the Republicans could be a good result for them. Cynical and wrong, but good for them.
  23. I read a column a week or so which basically said ‘impeachment is a political process. It’s clear that Trump will win and the Republicans will lose. The Democrats realise this. The Republicans don’t’.
  24. There has been a 7% drop in emissions compared to the previous year but that just means more carbon was added to the atmosphere at a slightly slower rate. https://www.space.com/co2-concentration-rising-past-alarming-threshold.html

    Not by itself, because mortality does vary year to year due to other causes like very hot summers / cold winters / flu epidemics etc. Also you get the covid related but non covid deaths like increased cancer deaths due to cancelled screenings etc. But it is a useful check, if things appeared way out of whack you might try and delve into the reasons why.
