And like me, mate, you can probably remember exactly where you were when you saw it. It was etched into your psyche. My wife lived in NY in the 80's and is now out there for a few months with work. This is the first time she's been back there since it happened. She said seeing where the towers were and that they're just gone has been one of the weirdest experiences of her life.

My wife is currently working in NY. Her hotel is about a block away from Ground Zero. Last weekend she did the tour at site and sent me some pictures and there are two that stick out. The wreck of Ladder 3 and picture of 'Cowboy' the search and rescue collie stood on twisted steel. I do think people are forgetting. I think it's humanity's super power as well as it's curse. It's how we move on but also why we keep making the same mistakes over and over. Anyone under 20 won't have the full scope of this one and when we're all gone it will be an excuse to go on the piss, the true meaning los

Wasn't there a scandal at the Lovely Girls contest? It was probably that.

Looking at the picture you posted you have several devices in varying sizes that will already fit your needs. Pan. Lid. Ingredients. Bigger pan. More finished product. Saying that if you want to purchase a niche item for the sole purpose of making it as always it's your call but as a dad of three I've made a shit ton of the stuff over the years for my kids and their mates using a saucepan, a lid, and the kernals. Up to you though.

Same. Still do. Looking at the picture he's already got the gear.

Are you looking for an elaborate niche device, or common solution?

Is on the US version. You should be able to access it with a VPN.

If it was even it wouldn't have been all over the place.

At first I thought you meant it would melt the plastic on the butterkist and then I went back and read some of Ken's posts... I'm out...

Can you not just do it in your cast iron pan?

Numbers. Brock ended up on the red list because someone in authority decided it was an issue. That same bureaucracy hasn't decided to take him off from every reason you can think of. If racoons were indigenous to the UK they'd enjoy the same protections. The only card they can play here is the introduced species card because once it's established the bunny huggers are going to adopt the lovable trash panda with a vengeance.

Crab Bucket Mentality...

Does anyone know how many job vacancies there are in Britain Vs benefit claimants? Just curious what the ratio is and I can't find anything that clarifies it.
-
Hard to say. If it has it certainly hasn't justified the cost in monetary or civil liberty terms. I can only speak from the US side but watching the collapse in Kabul while being told to trust the government... How anyone can vote for the big two in either country is frankly baffling.

The new annual report has been released by the Cost Of War project at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The cost of the 20 year war on terror stands at $8 trillion with 900,000 dead and is current up to the recent $25billion acquisition from the Biden administration in May this year. The dollar value is the post-wars cost and not the direct cost of the wars themselves! They include "Department of Defense Overseas Contingency Operations funding; State Department war expenditures and counterterror war-related costs, including war-related increases to the Pentagon’s base bud

With all the doom-saying, and the irony of how you're conducting your research and spreading your message aside. Genuine question, mate. What's stopping you? This is where I can only disagree with you. I'd offer a rebuttal of how this is actually a pretty good time to be alive and I can link to articles and studies to back it up but I genuinely believe you're not interested in good news. I've read a lot of your posts over the years. Even this year when I've not posted that much myself. Maybe a break from the doom-scrolling wouldn't be a bad idea. I can't decide whether you're just

Am I assuming correctly, by that statement, that you won't be pumping any of that experimental sh*t into your internet device?
-
I'd be alright with that. Can you imagine the Yanks going along with it, though? Bombing Syria is a presidential right of passage!

Operation Fortitude....Taliban Style

Mate, you took the bait. If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires you must know that THL is the graveyard of common sense. Don't worry though. This will all blow over in a couple of weeks when the 9/11 anniversary roles back around... -
Looking at the connections between Chinese fentanyl, CJNG, and the American market. It's almost like capitalism sees the Taliban as a threat to supply as the cost of a two decade war becomes untenable. The market finds a way... funny that.

I can't disagree with that, mate. We love to stereotype them as goat herders but even OBL understood how propaganda worked and they know how to target their audience. They're saying what we want to hear but they're already disarming civilians and stoning women for not wearing burqas. Exactly as we expected. China have a tried and tested format across the world. They build roads and power stations in exchange for access to commodities. It gives them access to countries without having build garrisons. I agree it's subtle and insidious but they don't need to flex against the wes

Right in the middle of America's opioid crisis... Funny that.

I'd agree that's a conspiracy theory. China will profit from this by rebuilding Afghan infrastructure in exchange for opium and opium money. Like with the west they'll use trade instead of a conscript army against battle hardened zealots.
