1,500 dead and injured “every single day

No idea how many of those are dead vs injured, but to put that into context, the UK lost 457 people in Afghanistan in a 20 year period, and 179 in Iraq. 255 were lost in the Falklands.

I'd take the figures coming out of Ukraine with a pinch of salt but even if they're half of what's being said, these numbers are crazy. Such a crazy waste of life on all sides.

I'd doubt the NHS would go for this. Our experience is that they heavily promote breastfeeding and seem to put as much resistance into using formula as possible.

This would seem at odds with their current approach of trying to get more people to breastfeed.

Has there ever been a single one that's worked?

I know absolutely fuck all about satellites but I have to assume on something this old, that it's extremely unlikely.

"It's still relevant because whoever did move Skynet-1A did us few favours," says space consultant Dr Stuart Eves.

"It's now in what we call a 'gravity well' at 105 degrees West longitude, wandering backwards and forwards like a marble at the bottom of a bowl. And unfortunately this brings it close to other satellite traffic on a regular basis.

"Because it's dead, the risk is it might bump into something, and because it's 'our' satellite we're still responsible for it," he explains.

So basically, you can't park there mate!

Just seen the context in the post description, hadn't spotted that at first.

What's the context here?

Edit: am smooth brained idiot - context is on the post description

Ahh yeah I see it now. You yourself could qualify for this list.

I thought they were already in the process of building the infrastructure at Euston for HS2?

They're the only two I recognise - the rest I have no idea what they're even on about.

This is clearly propaganda by Big Penis.

For me it would be where the sun is shining, the house is tidy and there's no chores to do.

Start off with a decent breakfast and a decent mug of coffee. I'd have had my run the previous day so can rest a bit. Maybe head out for a walk, grab some lunch at the local garden centre. I've just redownloaded the game Ingress after not playing it for years, so maybe play that for a couple of hours.

Get home and watch the F1 while I prepare and cook a lasagne in the afternoon. Smash said lasagne with a glass or two of a nice red wine and then spend the evening playing Minecraft for a few hours, then an hour or two of reading before bed.

The reality though is far different as I have two young kids!

 

But do the categories (Animal, Vegetable, Mineral) just make no sense against the possibile answers?

The instructions for the game are at the top. A player picks a word from a card and the other player has to guess the word they've picked, starting by asking if it's an animal, vegetable or mineral.

 

At a table? Desk? Living room in front of the TV?
