It’s all about the longest running election campaign in the world. The US elections. I don’t understand why it needs to be this long 😂. France, the UK, India (over a billion people!) can announce and complete elections quicker than the US.

I would love some more intelligent and nuanced spam filtering but, honestly, I don’t think we’ll get anything soon enough.

It’ll get better in November, but then we’ll get a wave of spam about stolen elections. And then better again in January when they finally finish the election game.

No, but what can you do when the buses are like this?

Oh yeah fair point. Depends how sadistic you want to get mwahahaha! 😈

But also after swatting the fly it’s nice to give the area a quick clean anyway.

Get a used spray bottle, one that you can adjust the spray to be narrow or wide angled by screwing unscrewing the cap. Set it to wide angled. Fill the bottle with some water and cleaning solution. Something you wouldn’t mind being sprayed about. Surface cleaner is a good bet because you probably already have that around the house to clean with.

Creep up on a fly with this diluted concoction and let rip. It might try and fly away but the wide angled spray plus the slight stickiness of the solution will hamper it’s efforts. Watch as it falls to the floor and writhes about in agony as it desperately tries to breathe (flies breathe through their skin which is now clogged with cleaning solution). It’s wings will be useless now too as they’ll be weighed down by the solution.

Finally with some tissues mop up and squash the little shit. For the first several flies leave them where you let them die as a warning to other flies in the area. After a couple of days you can clean up the bodies.

You’re welcome 🤗.

Wrapped up in yesterday’s newspaper. IYKYK 😉

Scho cute! 🥰

Hi Johnny. Are you alive?

Makes sense they’ve spent years curating other people’s content and are now selling it… Oh wait 😯.

The ones here in Ireland are absolute shite. Not a patch on traditional cooking. Some weird combination of American fast food chains.

This is the worst attempt in this whole thread 😂. Doesn’t even have the same letters!

Literally dragging their heels over this. The biggest opposition was from EU bloc nations.

Now Ireland have eventually signed up to this but it’s a minimum threshold. i.e. they’re still highly comfortable about letting US multinational’s get away with complex tax arrangements in the EU to lower the amount they pay.

They should, but then they’d be replaced by other US multinationals. So they won’t.

The EU (and not just the EU by the way) loves US tech. It can’t get enough. They both play a cat and mouse game with each other for the public but the EU aren’t going to force MS out and MS aren’t going to leave.

Put it another way, of the EU wanted to be principled and demand fairness for EU citizens they’d take away MS (and other US multinational’s) tax breaks via Dublin. But they’re not going to do that.

Exactly this. I don’t know anyone in the IT industry that would willingly buy IBM. They’re either locked in due to legacy reasons or government projects where most of them are incompetent.

Thankfully it’s changing, but slowly.

Oh by the way guess what demographic causes the most shootings 🤔

Taylor Swift fans?

Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from “social” media?

Nah you still get all of that but in a shitter product.

California, so I’m I’m guessing the driver was getting head at the time whilst drinking beer.

It’s GNU Richard Stallman, not Richard Stallman.

Ask them about the lack of a headphone jack 😉.

Russia can into tinpot dictator.
