I was making that suggestion in 2010!

896 million?

So I guess America is going to pay the 2 million for every other country, right?… right?

Any suggestions for dishes that go with Hendrick’s Amazonia gin in! I have 1L bought at an airport minus the one and only shot I tried and did not finish!

I have the same problem. And what do I do with the second rate spirits which I’m never going to drink - or offer - whilst I have first rate ones still in the cupboard?

If only there was a solution…

Looks like every potato dish in an air fryer plus a few salads!

I feel it’s time to give OpenSuSE and KDE Plasma another spin to experience the current state of the Linux desktop.

SUSE+KDE was my daily desktop from 2002-2006.
I thought it was pretty good.

Since then every time I’ve installed Linux I’ve felt the desktop has fallen from this high water mark.

Unfortunately that seems to be the most sensible thing to do.

China's oil investments in Venezuela China is a major customer of and investor in Venezuela's oil sector, which President Donald Trump aims to revive following the U.S. military's ouster of President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday.

In 2025 it is estimated that ~4.5% of China’s seaborne oil imports came from Venezuela.

A lot, yes, but not enough to be a strategic bottle neck.

Sounds very weird. No real grounds for the suspicion given.

If it hasn’t been a working distillery for 18 months what is this based on? An investigation over a year and half ago? If so you failed to protect consumers for 18 months.

A - but also bring it. Let’s see you in court. Let’s drag as much Trump dirt into the case as we can and create a multi month news spectacle where the BBC gets to report loud and clear all the sordid details the narcissist doesn’t want the world reminded of.

Was it “If a clown enters the palace, the palace becomes a circus”?

That’s gorgeous.

Fuck yeah.

Epic!

“And this too shall pass”

So many lives ruined and broken by one crazed man’s vision, and a nation of fools willing to follow him.

The mind boggles that Ireland has to import Guinness from China.

Ok. But will the future robotic defence force in the bunker surrender or will they fight to the death?

Whilst this is obviously an own goal, nobody should count their future profit and loss, because nobody, including the knucklehead-in-chief, knows what he’s going to do next.

My bet is whatever new chaos Trump creates, 🇯🇵 and 🇨🇦 will still run rings around him.

I am glad that the greatest minds in Maga America are grappling with this thorny question.

The rest of the world waits with bated breath for their conclusions.

Thanks. That was a good read.

If Substack focuses too heavily on monetisation they will lay the groundwork for the next new variation with a snappy URL, and a new demographic to then cannibalise their user base. So the cycle continues.

I don’t remember the details but I always felt that Medium was once on a great trajectory but once they thought about making money, it just stagnated.

Great response. Hope it gets the airtime it deserves.

How are they ever going to 10x that?!?
