This really isn’t my thing, but I thought some of you may find this amusing.

Now the airport gets the opportunity to pay a civils contractor to rebuild the runway, thus raising the GDP of Japan. American economic development at its finest.

Get some blankets and cushions - makes sitting on the sofa so much more cozy if the room is cold. Also a hot water bottle is amazing for this and for cold beds too! If you’re a shoes off in the home kinda person (which you should be - the streets are dirty!) then get some good warm slippers. A lifesaver if you’re running the place a bit colder.

Dehumidifier’s are really good but they’re expensive to run, and don’t forget to ventilate - open the windows daily.

Something every residence should have is Carbon Monoxide and smoke alarms - they are not expensive and may save your life. Also a small fire extinguisher and fire blanket.

It’s nerd shit, but running some type of mini pc or raspberry pi with pihole for adblocking and some type of jellyfin and arr stack if you’re inclined is very good for media.

Get an aeropress. I’m also a big fan of a Moka pot.

Tools: the most important ones are a decent measuring tape, a claw hammer, some pozidrive and flathead screwdrivers (or whatever your local fixings tend to be: torx, Allen, square etc), for hanging pictures and the like get a torpedo spirit level, they don’t take much space. Buy cheap tools - if they wear out or are insufficient only then buy good quality ones. The fact is if you don’t do much work the $2 claw hammer you bought at Walmart may be all you ever need, and that’s better than spending $100+ on a pro framing hammer that you’ll never see the benefit of. Then beyond those basic hand tools, a Combi drill with hammer functionality is very useful. After that only get the tools you need, for the tasks you intend to do. No point owning a circular saw if you’re never planning on cutting a load of timber or a pipe cutter if you never do any plumbing!

Also buy a torch incase of power cuts and store it somewhere you can find it in the dark!

This is left of field, but I’ve got an ancient 80s era Braun analog alarm clock (other alarm clocks will also be perfect) that I keep by my bed so I can still wake up but also not have my phone in the bedroom. I strongly recommend it. Phones in the bedroom are a route to late night scrolling and ignoring your partner. Not good. It’s a thief of romance and time.

I am something of an Eggers Enjoyer, so I look forward to this!

I have heard that before, but it’s not very reliable as certain housing developers put in pampas grass as part of their landscaping so following that rule there are whole housing estates that swing.

Without any stated opinion on justness or otherwise, the Sino Indian war of 62 should probably have some type of representation on the map.

Do you know if they’re doing Vol 2 and 3?

He’s seen some of the Space Marine 2 footage and is worried that immigrants are deep striking over the border in drop pods with bolters.

That is very good

Just looked up strichtarn out of curiosity. Is it an effective pattern irl?

It doesn’t look like it would break up form or outline very well at all from photos.

Communism sucks - says the man holding a Kalashnikov with which he hopes to defend his life.

I mean if you want to do time fraud you pretty much just can. You can start tracking a task at 9am then immediately go to make a coffee and chat to a coworker until half 9 to run up the clock. You really don’t need a fancy tool for that.

However a tool to make data more digestible and readable shows a level of interest in presentation of data. I would be less concerned about that. Someone willfully doing time fraud wouldn’t advertise it.

 

They all seem to be either pointlessly obsessed with electoralism despite not even being able to convince their own friends and family to vote for them (like barely double digit total votes), TERFs (on terf island - surely not!), trots, or just so small that it’s just 1 person and their two sock puppet accounts on a Facebook page (also what is with the use of Facebook?!)

 

It turns out US Navy boats can’t handle rough seas either. farquaad-point

The US MIC really is showing us what they can do.

 

Including amusingly Elon himself. Whose bond movie prop lotus was spotted in some footage.

 

Hilariously full of cope article from an irrelevant former power.

According to Grant Shapps, the weapon could have "huge ramifications" for the conflict in Europe.

Press X to Doubt.

The laser was originally expected to be operational by 2032… ….the defence secretary told reporters while on a visit to Porton Down military research centre near Salisbury that he wanted to speed this up even further. "Let's say that it didn't have to be 100% perfect in order for Ukrainians perhaps to get their hands on it," he said.

Very funny assessment of the readiness and efficacy of this Wunderwaffe.

Any suggestion that UK lasers could be sent to Ukraine to take out Russian drones is optimistic.

Ahh the admission in the article that the whole notion of uk made laser weapons being used in Ukraine is just a nato fantasy.

In the same vain I’m looking forward to future BBC articles about how the uk is sending a battle ready gundam to Ukraine next week

 

Once again techbros find a new way to make the world worse. Now your toothbrush can be part of a bot net. Nobody asked for this, and the suggestion that it should be possible is utterly deranged.

Another one for the “China is going to fall, for real this time” pile.
