Re: Israel and Palestinian Conflict

Maybe they should not give two hours' notice of the attack next time? It makes me think this was all a face-saving exercise by Iran after Israel blew up part of their Embassy in Syria and killed one of their military leaders. That's quite a 'fuck-you' in diplomatic terms. I don't think Tehran wants...

Re: Chili peppers from seed

I was growing vegetables in pots, and when you buy the seeds the packet they come in tells you what conditions that particular plant needs to thrive, or even to germinate. The amount of direct light, shade, soil types, temperature, watering are all factors. Google what conditions the seeds require, ...

Re: 5 dead in stabbing rampage Sydney

Police are saying they need to formally I.D him, but they seem pretty sure they know who he is and if they're right, it's very unlikely he did it for any ideological beliefs. Sounds like a local meth head nutcase.

Re: 5 dead in stabbing rampage Sydney

I just read that the mother of the baby that was stabbed is one of the dead.

It's a pity the cop didn't gut shoot the bastard so he'd be able to do life in prison with a colostomy bag.

Re: 5 dead in stabbing rampage Sydney

Yeah, I've been watching that unfold. I bet thousands of people from various ethnic groups and religions are doing the same, hoping it's not someone from their community making all of them look bad. There's always that one nutter, probably known in his community for being a fuckwit, that makes life ...

'Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. '" So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaim--two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten tho...

Re: Happy Friday @CEOPeople

Agreed...Fahrenheit makes zero sense. 100°C = Boiling point of water 0°C = Freezing point of water Regardless....enjoy the beers 🍻 And everyone understands that anything under 0c is brass monkeys, 0 degrees is bloody cold, 10c is a bit nippy, 30c is stinking hot and 40c is fuckoff hot. It's intuiti...

Re: trump in Bangkok

The fake clips might be easy to identify now, but with the speed at which AI etc is progressing, imagine how good they'll be in 5 or 10 years. It could be near impossible to tell real from fake. And the media at the moment is pretty crap, they cherry-pick parts of what is said, they put their own bi...

Re: trump in Bangkok

It's funny, but disturbing at the same time. You can barely trust anything you see in the news as it is, but at least if you see a politician making a speech on tv you can be pretty sure it happened. With tech like this out there and getting more sophisticated, I feel like it won't be long before th...

Re: Koh Tao ferry fire

It happens. That wouldn't stop me from taking a boat though, neither in Thailand nor in Cambodia. There are other (more likely) ways to die, like on the roads. When your number is up, off you go. Exactly. Most people don't think twice about getting in a tuk tuk or riding a motorbike, and they are t...
