"We decided to solve the problem of stupid drivers by making the law stupid, thus rendering stupidity legal through legal stupidity..."

something a bit off about a ten year old kid singing "i've been wallowing in my own chaotic
insecure delusions" otherwise - nailed it.

I always wondered what it was that Maynard James Keenan reminded me of, though... (lol joak)

Just jealous because I can't hit those notes anymore.

It's quarter to two, now...

Very much nominative determinism in action...

I was just about to ask if the lower traction that rally cars normally have was the explanation - you can only brake as hard as not skidding permits.

Nominative determinism in action, I'd say.

What about the Chapeau casual range....

I have no experience of it but it looks decent.

I recently got their merino base layer top in a sale at Peloton in Spitalfields. It's really comfy, I've washed it a few times and not yet noticed any deforming, and another plus; it's super long so a possible option for the skinny people upthread. It's quite fine so I don't know how well it will wear, long term it may not be very robust.

Also, the logo is not as obtrusive as on some of their polos and jerseys; I don't mind it, but I can see how some might dislike its hipstery-ness.

Same thing happened to me, about 3 or 4 years ago. The BB spindle had cracked. Then about 6 months after I was giving it some beans as the lights changed and I bent the (steel) drive-side crank.

I reckon that kid's got to be a Nunpuncher.

BC gave some money to the project, so goat sticker on it.

Depends how hard you project them, I suppose. A mate of mine took a paintball to the bunghole while pooping al fresco once. Put him right off his game.

They look like earplugs to me.

That's a rubber bullet. I think that there are some variations (buckshot style shotgun loads, that sort of thing) but never seen anything like those orange things outside of a factory floor dispenser...

She really pisses me off.

She's like the thinking fuckwit's Katie Hopkins.

That whistling thing, I've come across before - is it something to do with a capacitor?

I'm 6'2" and have a similar geo bike - I ride a 61cm. It's comfortable but I can't swing my leg over (ooer) the bike while rolling. That's probably more to do with my poor flexibility than the bike.

It's different for every body though, so I'd have a test ride on both sizes and see what feels better. I don't like to feel squashed up between the seat and the handlebars.

what a solid gold, corn-fed fucking idiot lol.

Worked out how to use Twitter but evidently not Google?

B&M make excellent light, as they should being German.

"German bicycle lighting standard written by non-cyclists designed to force cyclists to subject themselves to increased danger by requiring the use of sub-optimal bicycle lighting systems."

A friend of mine was stopped in Leipzig and given an on-the-spot fine. The reason? Her front light was not heavy enough.

So many reasons to rep this...

Kind of like Israel and the Forth Geneva Convention.

And, although I'm not a international law scholar, I suspect bombing UN schools is probably some sort of crime.

Is EdwardZ one of these people paid to support Israel online? I'm suspecting this is the case more and more.

I don't know about that, but I do find myself wondering what the Z stands for.

Also, a useful refresher on Arthur Schopenhauer's "The Art of Controversy".

.

My question however is this: why don't Hamas stop firing rockets? They're achieving nothing and provide the Israeli regime with an excuse to fuck Palestine over completely. If it was seen to be the one-sided aggressive occupation that it clearly is, surely Israel's allies would be forced to hold them accountable to some extent.

I'm guessing it's because Palestinians are getting killed, displaced and abused all the time, not just during these flare-ups; but the international community only notices when things hot up a bit. But generally, it does seem pretty futile.

treat them like south africa of the 70's and 80's
boycott israeli produce, is a good way to start i suppose it eventually worked there, but governments were onside

admittedly they receive gazillions from america so it won't do much

Which governments were on side in the case of South Africa? Not the UK or the US.

They are a sect related to Satmar that is pretty much despised by most Jews in the world. They are known to openly support anyone--- including terrorist organizations--- that pronounce goals of destroying Israel, NK figurehead Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss while not denying the Shoah--- his grandparents died in Auschwitz-- has been known to befriend Holocaust deniers who share his hate for Israel. A number of their members in the UK has been declared persona-non-grata by their Satmar synagogues. They are, to put it lightly, well meaning arogant fools. Its not also like Satmar are Zionists. Their previous Rebbe and founder (as a break-away cult from Sigheter, as his older brother was deemed their new leader when his father died) Joel Teitelbaum was a well known anti-Zionist. So much so that he let himself be saved by the Kaster train (a Zionist organized train) but saw to it that many of his followers stayed behind in Budapest to meet their deaths. After the war the Rebbe refused to accept that Zionists saved him but attacked the whole operation as evil. "G-d saved me, not Kaster"..His nephews now follow in the footsteps of the Rebbe with complete hate for one another and with two rival sects. One led by Aaron and based in Kiryas Joel--- the city officially with the highest level of poverty in the US--- and the other by Zalman in Williamsburg (Brookyn) with the great tradition of celebrating Simchat Torah (the Joy of the Torah,festival) by violently attacking one another (the joy of riots) . Satmar are currently the fastest growing and largest (Chassidic) Jewish sect in the US with over 120,000 members (larger even than Chabad, a worldwide sect whose followers believe that their Rebbe is the Messiah despite having died 20 years ago)...

The basis of their position follows the Talmud Midrash

The Neturei Karta interpretation allows them to individually live in the land of Israel--- most of the NK members live in Me'a Sche'arim (Jerusalem)-- but to view the collective of Israel as violating the 3 oaths and, following the Satmar Rebber, heresy.

Many Satmar see the State of Israel in the way of the coming of the Messiah and the rebuilding of the Temple. That Israel is a secular country with a free democratic judicial (and not the Beth Din or rabbinic court ) and, worse still, using modern Hebew as a language, they see as near ultimate sin!

When the "Messiah" comes? Then they can finally eat that BLT...:-)

That's a lot of text to waste on ad hominem.

It did. Ireland.

There's plenty to be critical of in the UK's actions in NI, but firstly we're free to criticise it without being called a 'self-loathing saiss' and I don't remember us turfing all the Irish into two large concentration camps and then bombing the shit out of them.

That said, through laws regarding marriage, inheritance, and tax etc in previous centuries English governments did do a lot to manipulate land ownership in favour of the English occupiers.

We did also invent the concentration camp, although that was to deal with the Boers who appeared to themselves be racial supremacists and occupiers of some sort. I'm so confused right now.

I guess what I'm saying is that there's plenty to be critical of, but to do so in direct comparison to current events in Gaza implying some sort of moral equivalence requires a sort of ethical tone-deafness.

Kenya would be a better example.
