I'm a total newbie here. I've recently cut some 4mm perspex. For shed windows. Slightly smaller than 300x300mm. Accurately and without mishap. I used a sliding mitre saw with a Saxton "fine wood" 255mm 80T blade. My perspex cut I chose this from the various methods used on YouTube - mainly...

Trump even says this out loud!

I haven't "fallen" for anything - I try to watch a wide range of stuff because my pet hate is hypocrisy, so I go out of my way to avoid hypocrisy - and that includes consuming an unhealthy amount of vomit-inducing, vile and unevidenced trash that comes from right-leaning sources. Those truly...

Hey Robin, have you never seen "The Good Liars" on YouTube when they interview Trump supporters at Trump Rallies? The footage is hilarious, frightening and jaw-droppingly unbelievable, all in equal measure. It is quite clear that a proportion of Trump Rally Attendees appear to be as thicker...

Many sources from both sides of the Atlantic disagree with you. Here is but one that I believe puts it rather well: The Hill Additionally, is your overall awareness limited and your hostility biased? When you ask "what kind of hard of thinking leader would be open [sic] hostile to a...

I would suggest that things would shift, but only slightly, and it would be obvious to the populace that a war footing would still be required to be retained for the foreseeable. Plus - there are very strong links now between Ukraine and many European nations that offer lots of "support in...

I agree with the post that you're referring to. It is a matter of fact that socialist/left leaning people DO try to engage in discussion. It is also a matter of fact that conservative(small c)/right leaning people often view that discussion as an argument instead of as a discussion. This is...

I don't think that she did "demonstrate" that. From my perspective it is just that some people are too willing to believe that when the one that they support tells them so. (see "tribalism" in another thread) (Just because she is female and not white - that doesn't mean that she wasn't the...

Faraj can spell that out for himself. In fact, he did. Only later, under pressure from the press and under no small amount of duress did he make any qualifications about the type of man Putin is. But that ignores the obvious - and the obvious is that the type of man Putin is, and the type of...

It takes more than a temporary ceasefire to end the notion of maintaining and requiring constant military protection, mobility and visibility - see Korea. Also see Sun Tzu.

Ahem - this is what I understand: The polite way to put this is that USA is "not ready for a woman president" and indeed "even less ready for a coloured female president". Those two things each have a plain English word associated with them, but despite those words being "factual" they aren't...

He only said in public that he "Admires Putin" for his control and as a political operator - ie. Farage admires the idea of a violent dictator. He also said that "The West provoked Putin" to attack Ukraine. SO, yeah, there's that...

I think this is a discussion based on something that couldn't really be avoided. The legal (typical US litigious mindset) situation, as I understand it, was that the funding for Biden's (Biden/Harris) campaign could NOT be legitimately transferred to another candidate. When Biden agreed to...

I believe that this says more about the way that you think than the way anyone else thinks or acts. I said in another thread, or two already, that we are all different and the fact that we are different should be celebrated. What shouldn't be celebrated, or even tolerated, is the name calling...

That's a very fair comment as long as the "other side" of the war will abandon their aims stand down. If the other side doesn't stand down, then you still have war anyway, and what is more you have a far, far worse situation to deal with - because commerce and financial markets depend...

That's a staggering lack of self awareness that you have there. Serious question - Would you describe yourself as a "decent poster"?

I've done survival training with the military. After a week with very little food, permanently cold, soaked to the skin and being chased by a trained "hunter force", at night, and knowing how empty the energy tanks are, I'm pretty sure I'd eat rancid ramen and thank you for it afterwards! Maybe!

= so that the wealthy can get wealthier = just for the plebs though - and reduce the tax liabilities of the wealthy as an explicit aim = so that the NHS can be generously berated in the explicit aim for it to be turned over to Private Ownership "because they can run it better", at the...

Profound topic for an off-topic thread! A couple of ponderings from me: I often get misrepresented as a raving lefty. Personally, I don't think that I am. Maybe you yourself have an opinion? A part of the "othering" that you describe - I think - can be attributed to tribalism connected to...

I've just cast my vote. In the polls on here, that is. I do hope Harris is the next president, and voted as such in the poll, but no matter what the official result might be - I think we can quite safely predict that the orange jerkspangle will claim victory regardless. This is quite...
