These dudes lived in the tropics and lived off the fat of the land. They didn’t need to worry about seasons in the way more northern/southern hemisphere people do.

Totally agree though. Maths, astrology, water sources, farming. All very important to sustain a civilisation.

Yeah, we also fail on large projects like HS rail too.

I saw a video years ago where somebody was talking (with a translator) to a tribe, I forget where. He asked how do they count. They would point with one hand to the other hand. Once they’ve got to five they start pointing to other parts of the arm moving upwards. He then asked what if you need to count higher. They looked confused, why would they need to count higher.

For them they could exist without needing to count beyond teens.

Who uses handy? I’ve never heard that before. Now I’ve heard it I think we need to use handy and landy.

It’s a bit like here in the UK. There used to be a lot more rail tracks but got removed, presumably when cars because common and lorries were capable of carrying large amounts of goods.

It’s a huge shame because a lot of places which were connected no longer are. I would love to be able to hop on a train and get to smaller rural areas rather than large towns and cities on a route which heads to London and back.

There is some success though, if anybody is interested then look at Swanage railway. They managed to get everything undone and reconnect to the national network and is now a hotspot for old steam engines.

That made me laugh. Big gun virgin.

I worked with a horrid person who voted Brexit for a few dumb reasons but the most worrying one was because he was racist. Openly said he didn’t want the “blackies” here. If I still worked with him I would be laughing in his face right now. Because of the shortage in certain areas like carers and health, we now have more Africans families in our town than ever before. Totally the opposite of what he wanted.

The interactions with these people whom he hates, is far more positive than my experiences with him. People like him can fuck right off.

Yeah I love GLaDOS too. How many bad guys get plugged into a potato.

Perhaps they’re after the resources which aren’t so common elsewhere, like oxygen. Maybe they would turn Earth into an oxygen farm.

You can tell this isn’t real. Spiffing wasn’t mentioned.

Fancy a cuppa

I saw a lifted oversized pickup in my town in the UK. It was hilarious. Like this one it was long, way bigger than those big Fords which are becoming more common here. And lifted. It also made a big brrr noise.

Also worth noting that we have a prescription charge for each prescribed item. I think it’s currently £9-something at the moment. This makes all medicine the same price for all. Some people are exempt if they are under 18, pregnant, etc.

Caffeine reduces anxiety. Anxiety is the reason I don’t drink caffeine drinks.

Wow. It’s like the horribleness of the bad guy from roger rabbit mied with the craziness of Doc from back to the future. Only the crazy personality is dominant.

I saw a video a while back of a pair of young women in a car. Passenger says to driver how many miles do you drive if you’re driving 60mph, for one hour. She really couldn’t figure it out.

Kind of like the cheddar cave but for different reasons and different temperatures. Well, actually, the only similarity is regulation.

Is this for real? Any links? Not doubting you but it’s always been a dark thought I can’t push away about accidentally drinking that stuff.

Yeah. It’s like saying what weights more, a KG of iron or a KG or feathers.

That’s from the chippy.
