Same here. My ex husband told everyone that I cheated on him. I mean, considering the fact that nobody ever asked for my side of the story, I suppose they weren’t really friends anyway.

I have a cupboard from 1789. I use it to store stuff, so yeah, I use it every day.

There’s a reason the Telegraph is also known as the Torygraph.

Have you tried tylenol and ibuprofen together?

Also, do a covid test.

In the US a product only has to be 10 percent US made to be “made in the US”. Also, when you import something into the US and export it again, it’s “made in the US”.

My editor would sack you.

90 percent of women who have an endometrial ablation end up with a hysterectomy. You were very lucky. Don’t recommend them, plz.

Many European countries (especially those with right wing governments) are getting rid of scientific funding, often illegally. I know many researchers who are on the brink of losing their jobs because their promised public funding has vanished. How are US scientists going to find jobs and projects?

“We should use our own” is bullshit, though. Even China can’t manage that, despite literally forcing people to study the subjects they need.

And now Starmer has his trade deal with the EU, which should improve things somewhat, the Daily Heil and Telegraph are complaining.

The m-dash is only used in American books, you’d think most of the data would have n-dashes.

PS am proofreader, will replace all your ugly m-dashes with n-dashes.

Universities and research institutes are not profit driven. They do most of the innovating. Patenting someone else’s invention and then selling it for a profit isn’t innovation.

I lived in the NW of England until recently. Pesticides have killed the bugs and it very rarely gets hot. Last year it rained throughout the summer and didn’t really get any warmer than 15C.

Also, houses with thick stone walls keep out the heat. Years ago we had a long heatwave and it got no warmer than 20C inside.

I should have taken the night train (I took the normal train from Freiburg to Berlin, it took 13 hours instead of 6.5 and I missed my rehearsal).

Welcome to right wing governments that haven’t got a clue.

I don’t drop it but it does fall off things because I forgot it was there.

And Germany won’t oppose this time because the government is righ wing as hell.

Welcome to Merz. Germany was working on separating themselves from US software until Trump’s greatest fan became Chancellor.

Edit WAS working. Fuck SwiftKey.

Male mindset. The women loved every one of those babies. I remember talking to an old lady who’d lost 7 children and when I asked her if she ever thought of them she said “every morning when I tie on my bonnet.” (she wore national dress, this was somewhere in the seventies)

She is a lovely lady who is a mediocre singer and wears a shit ton of makeup. She once posted a picture of herself without makeup and men accused her of catfishing. Bloody idiots.

Fun fact: a lot of sinus infections are just a cold but the doc wants to sell antibiotics.
