Brexit didn't destroy the Tories. That's a false narrative. The pandemic brought about the Tory downfall. It wouldn't have mattered who was at the helm at the time, they would have lost the next election because a good many people, in their grief and anger at the pandemic, focussed that anger on...

Well, the horse is still around and the ICE is fading.

Well, reading that, I can agree that Starmer had no benefit to gain from interferring with US voting. However, the article skips over that and ploughs into the historic defeat of the English and its own independence, followed by a right-wing diatribe about how the US is under attack from...

To help people think 'clearly'? Is that as a professional or as a mate in the pub? I think, and it's just another opinion, that to be in a situation, for which you have no control, you are going to get stressed. To teach someone how to deal with situations like that, whether by a 'professional'...

But AJB Temple is right on both counts. His descriptions of your general attitudes are pretty accurate and not really associated with politics in isolation.

Medical and other related 'studies' are based on relatively shaky evidence. If humans were machines, diagnoses would be a cinch, for every problem or fault would be easily detected and resolved. But, as it is, the medical fraternity rely on the 'odds are' method of diagnosis. 'The odds arer...

Nicely put, but I don't believe it to be an accurate analysis of the attitudes regarding women drivers. It's a common theme in psychology to take a bunch of facts and formulate a conclusion which may, or may not, be true. They are just opinions based on selected crtieria. So, let me counter...

You are 100% right. It's the general agreements that determine a leaning towards any political group. It is obvious that the two main parties have adopted all the main attributes for attracting people to their cause. The other 'also ran' parties haven't enough left to work with.

That would depend on their ages, their backgrounds, their experiences, their needs, their strengths their weaknesses, their goals and ambitions, their prejudices and who they'd feel more comfortable in the company of, and so on, and on, and on... So yes, I think they'd 'group up' pretty quickly.

Or a lot of the other animals...

I think a lot of species communicate in complex ways, especially the mammals of the sea. It's just that we haven't understood their communications.

The Chinese don't think so. They lead he world in Solar energy equipment and solar power.

And the CO², abd the poluting effect of smoke?

And - abdominal stimulators (used for building muscle) electronic body fat scales magnetic mattress pads or pillows welding equipment (with currents above 130 amps).

Well, no.

Yes, let's all help to accelerate climate change, then we can all go back to mesolithic times. I always wanted to see what Dartmoor looked like before it was deforested.

The ferrous insert is, indeed, a prerequisite of stainless steel pans for induction hobs. But induction hobs leave the steel pans clean, so stainless pans are a bit redundant.

Hmm...I don't see how domestic gas dries out food when the process of burning gas produces water and CO². Electric heating on the other hand dries out everything it heats.

Perhaps I should. But some commenters write without paragraphs, or adequate punctuation, and some readers, like me, lose interest part-way through. My advice to some would be to break up your longer comments, use a few more sentences, commas and, perhaps, a few less exclamation marks. and make...

Which is why all the clever Africans migrated north when they got the chance.
