Indeed. That country is fucked.

Here's a frame by frame of the shooting. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTOcwx3CYt5/?igsh=MWJtY2h6OTJxYjQ2dg==

Unbelievable. So the same bloke who approached her, shot her dead, and remained on his feet was "viciously" run over. Trump: "It is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital". She isn't. The behaviour of this regime in under 12 months is staggering. God knows what else we and the Americans have to look forward to.

I can't get past the pay wall.

Yep. This about controlling the flow of money and oil, and pegging down Iran, China, Russia, India, etc. The impact of the inability to trade oil is massive. Countries that need cheap oil don't get it, countries that need money don't get it, that cripples already crippled economies , pushes them to print money, pushes up inflation, leads to debt default, and it all leads to civil unrest. That brings down countries. There's far more to this than the simple "Trump wants more than Venezuela's oil". Whether he wants it I'm unsure, but he definitely wants to control who does and doesn't get it, and where the money goes.

There are, but less punters is the fundamental issue.

That's interesting - I've got a few mates who are crossfit boys, and a couple have competed at a decent level. I'd always dismissed it, and it hasn't even crossed my mind post surgery. What I need now is a training routine, not just diy gym stuff, and I don't do PT's, so crossfit sounds like it's worth a look. Cheers.

Good man, gotta keep going. I'm through the otherside of a double rotator cuff rope tear and neck surgery, and training to a reasonable level. Feels good to be back on free weights and the punch bag. Losing the competitive edge is hard though, and I've had to try to forget any previous levels and reset, so every gain now is a new PB. I've not had that limitless impact from lions mane. Not sure what your mates been using!!

Lions Mane and Ashwaganda, always. More relaxed but also energised, sharper mind, and better sleep. I used Collagen and Turmeric in the months post neck surgery to help with inflammation and healing. I've (touch wood) recovered pretty well and they may have helped, but who knows. When I trained heavy I used all sorts, but pharmaceutical grade creatine shipped in from Germany was unreal. Alongside lots of protein I blew up, gained strength, recovered well, and felt great. My only suggestion is to take a spell off the stuff periodically if using very high doses. I've used growth hormones and testerone boosters when training as well. The benefits were clear, but the downsides and risks. put a stop to that.

Great fact! I'll try that, cheers.

Agree re immigrant drivers. Respect has gone - no filtering, letting people in/out, just selfish people looking after number 1. Also people who haven't got a clue who's turn it is at a roundabout have probably learnt to drive elsewhere.

Interesting. I think the opposite. Driving along and focusing on your speed / speedo is distracting and dangerous. 20 is sufficiently slow for safety reasons imo. Re drink driving stats, I had a look earlier about the impact in Scotland of the reduction and the summary was that it hadn't made any real difference.

Strictly is different as there's ability and performance in play there. Love island I've never watched, but I'm guessing personality and looks are big factors. In traitors, people had to make decisions in the early stages based on pretty much nothing game related. Unconscious/conscious bias is a thing. I hate the Scouse accent so if I had nothing else to go on I probably would have booted the Scouser to give my ears a rest. Some people would do it on colour. That's reality.

Average

If white people are drawn to booting people out for no obvious game related reason, I guess some would say that conscious or unconscious bias may be in play. It may also be that they thought Judy was irritating - I didn't take to her and I didn't have to be with her all day.
