Trump told me that the Ayatollah and Kamala Harris were in the cupboard making babies, and he saw one of the babies, and the baby looked at him.

Over on the other site, French army’s @TimLeberre reports that Blue Shield emblems have been placed on the roofs of cultural properties in Iran, including the Mausoleum of Baba Taher, in accordance with the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed conflict.

youraislopbores.me is a fun little idea where you put in a "prompt" and another user "steals ai's job" and draws or writes an answer. but i want to draw some stuff and there aren't enough requests rn so check it out and i might be your pretend AI

Guess it's time to frack the Lincolnshire Wolds, and all it took to make it worthwhile was the world being on the precipice of a new world war.

The Americans used AI to choose targets for them to strike in this unnecessary war, and ended up killing over a hundred 7-12 year old girls as "collateral damage". Someone has to face justice for this, before blaming the machine becomes a defence. It has to be stopped before it goes any further.

I can't imagine for a moment that Starmer was keen to help out, but this whole Diego Garcia thing has been an eye opener (certainly for me) as to how vulnerable we are to American influence. And threats.

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

So are they planning to do this entirely with air strikes and tomahawks? I mean what's the actual plan? Bomb the shit out of them and see what happens afterwards in the satellite feed?

I think you can do it on this site, but not with this approach. The applicant is trying to squeeze it for profit, and to hell with design. It's a corner plot so it has to be good! If it were me, I'd do a proper mansard to get the third storey sensitively, and take other design cues from next door.

That's genuinely awful, especially for a corner treatment. Whats that thing on the roof? And the cheeky attempt to take the building line from the apron of the adjacent buildings rather than their facade - just a bit greedy.

Worth looking at the case officer's report. It was also refused on lack of outdoor amenity for residents, and tbh the proposed elevations are utter dogshit. share.google/VT9hSQ2VEjb1...

It's hard to tell without seeing what was refused. It's perfectly plausible to me that the applicant wanted to build a very profitable load of old shit, especially as it's been refused by both the LPA and the inspector.

All my research (10 minutes on google) has done nothing to disprove my hypothesis that so-called "Pancake Day" was created in the 1950s by Big Dairy and Be-Ro to increase their profits at a lean time of year.

This is the flaw with two-tier advice and service level agreements. All the benefits of the advice thatbyou identify are felt by the districts, so if the county is minded to cut posts there's no real downside to them apart from a very minor loss of income from the SLAs.

Surely the district councils will have something to say about that! How are Hampshire going to deliver on their existing Service Level Agreements?

To be fair, even Abaddon would take one look at Vance/Miller and say "get away from me you grubby little freaks".

We should be clear: Reform are the quisling's party and just a extension of Trump.
