What would you rather do, have meetings with attractive sales reps from private vendors who stroke your ego and tell you how amazing everything will be if you just find a way to privatise, or repeated meetings with haggard looking trade union reps who keep going on about how underfunded they are?

The night cycling trend appears to be gaining popularity in several major Chinese cities

That's fucking awesome

Maybe you guys could keep discussion of football violence out of the US politics thread?

the largest amphibious assault in history and logistically extremely challenging

I am talking about a hybrid invasion of the Kinmen islands for the symbolic value, not the entire island of Taiwan. A risky undertaking for China, but with some hybrid warfare moves one reckons it would be logistically doable.

And Taiwan.
There are a few islands right on the coast of China that have remained under Taiwanese jurisdiction all this time. I predict a Crimea style hybrid invasion of these sometime in the next four years.

My forrin news are predicting Trump to win all 6 swing states.

WTF happens then?

Votes in Senate/Congress I think?

How would I place a bet that I think a state capitol building will be successfully invaded during the next week or two?
Like a mini Jan 6.

EDIT: Also keen to bet on a demand for secession as expressed by a Governor.

Enjoyed working with the polish you recommended btw.
What's a good colourless treatment for my Redwings and rainy weather Loakes?

No one will notice.

Done a bit of testing. No cloth, paper cloth, synthetic cloth.
I reckon a few seconds with the synthetic cloth a little while after the polishing makes a noticeable difference. A nice subtle shine.

Liberal (right wing wankers) ... and also ban abortion.

There's something darkly funny about a Liberal party attacking women's rights.

How would you sum up Badenoch's level of homophobia to someone who doesn't follow UK politics?

If only there were a real life ignore list.

I tried to start a thread about this. Absolutely bombed.

yeaaah.....
I've listened to nearly every episode of BTB, but the host just doesn't have the interesting personality that he thinks he has. It seems as if he grew up in a very restrictive right wing, religious environment, which to him means that anything he can come up with that breaks with that tradition is somehow worth making a big deal about.
Really, in terms of booze/drugs/sex/general slacker attitude he's about average compared to the LFGSS members I've met on forum rides.

A lot of the time a podcast has interesting subject matter that is dragged down by annoying hosts.
I think 'If Books Could Kill' has a good balance between good research and good delivery. I'm particularly impressed with the camp guy, seems super smart, has a very succinct way of pinpointing things.

Here's The Economist's current prediction for what it's worth.

Ta.

And a cloth to finish it off right?

I am keeping a pair of chelsea boots at work to wear during office hours. I just don't see myself sitting at work doing the full polish with brushes and cloths etc, so what's the lowest effort shoe care routine I could establish for a weekly(?) routine. I am thinking there must exist a sweet spot of low effort yet significantly improved product lifetime.

That's not bad at all. I had kind of given up on these guys.

latinos .. [that] ... are just vehemently anti left wing policies in general

I worked with some of these. From the Cuban community in Miami. I think they reasoned that immigrants of the right kind would still get trough somehow. I guess they favoured those that were already middle- or upper class in their birth country. They may not be that far from the truth either, no policy will realistically deliver absolute zero immigration, so for some voters it becomes a matter of being in a position to dictate how the flow should be filtered.

This season of America doesn't have quite the same intensity as season 1 and 2, but look closer and it has nearly the same entertainment value. The skits have become goofy rather than clever perhaps, but I guess every series eventually becomes self-referential at some point.

Fusion is definitely more product/object focussed but I use it for interior work.

This is what I liked about Sketchup. An easy way to figure out if the idea in your head is going to work.

Not really getting on with Sketchup anymore. Do you guys use, or know of, any decent free 3D software to plan your projects?
