Two great minds running in the same gutter!

Another spoof wasted. (sigh)

News has just been released that Edinburgh Castle has been built with no planning permission. The city cooncil building control have searched the records but can find no trace of any application, a cooncil spokesperson has said that the Castle is closed with immediate effect, a demolition order will be issued and a contract will be signed with Daltons to remove the offending structure. The man from the cooncil said "whether it is a garden hut in Pilton, a bungalow in Craigmillar or a major city centre tourist attraction, rules are rules, we cannot just allow people to build castles wherever they decide".

I first saw that about 2 years ago and tried it, it works well. You can lift out each section with no trouble. I wish I had known about it 55 years ago when we were juicing shopping bags full of pomegranates to make jelly.

She got exactly what she was supposed to get - more worldwide publicity and and form of martyrdom. And guess what, conservatives, myself included by even commenting here, are giving her that publicity. "Lookit her! She got herself arrested for her her cause!" As with mass murderers, we're better off letting them slide into obscurity rather than keeping them in the forefront.

The rank and file, and some of the, call them middle managers like Sen. Cruz, but the "leadership" has all the spine of an undercooked blancmange. And all too many don't get out and vote, won't write to those in office, won't attend city council meetings to object to things. Chantry wrote: "Longer than that, it's just more out in the open and it's going to get worse before it gets better, if it ever does." For the open civil war I'd go back maybe to 2014. But, as you say, it started before that, it just became more open and more violent, and with things like the Speaker of the House openly calling for more riots, and other members of the House calling for physical attacks on members of the administration, and a Senator making death threats against members of the Supreme Court.

The left has almost always been unwilling to compromise. Oh, they might settle for less than they demand, but keep coming back for more. Finally conservatives have caught on and take the hard line stance. https://everydaynodaysoff.com/2013/11/08/cake-and-compromise-illustrated-guide-to-gun-control/comment-page-1/#comments

Eisenhower are starting to stencil “victory marks” on the fuselage of their jets to showcase how much ordnance they’ve unleashed and how many Houthi assets they’ve taken out. Photos made public by the Navy this month show the marks on at least one jet, a reflection of successful engagements flown by that particular jet, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operations.

There has been a civil war going on since 2016.

No mustard?

From that it sounds as if the standards are now a bit higher.

I remember it being granular, almost like instant coffee, but not crystals. I sort of like the flavor, but I recall it taking about three times as much to make a glass of chocolate milk as it did with Nestle Quick.

Sort of like the WWII German Goliath remote controlled mine
