What if someone is not a certified wanker?

Head down to your local Tory office and prove it.

If all else fails, ask for BJ

They referred me to the BBC

Old FM department or Business Development & Social Management?

The wanker licensing board defected to Reform last week

> Santiago de Compostela derailment

Hey that infrastructure looks perfectly fine and new, ahhh ok... they were going 180kmh where the speed limit was 80kmh..

Which is also exactly how the most deadly rail incident in the past half century in japan happened.

We oftentimes take ridiculous risks to save only 1-5 minutes of our time. Although reading about the Spanish disaster, the driver was rather reckless.

First one by one but slowly getting to Iran levels. If it feels unthinkable, the current events were unthinkable three years ago.

Sad truth is, experts are not interested in doing casual services for randos. Those interested are learning their stuff, at best. Applies everywhere from mechanic wanting to replace the suspension, to doctor advising an invasive procedure. Many make a bank and put everything into real estate before even becoming a truly mid level specialist.

Qatar is obviously not happy from Israeli strikes on their territory.

This whole thing is slowly becoming irreversible. Canada should join the EU.

The European Union would need a new name then

Looking at the globe it makes more sense for Canada to join EU, than Greenland belonging to US. Call it Arctic Union, whatever.

> And no person in a position to start a war would do it to affect a Polymarket bet.

No person in position to start a war and to influence economic policies would become a crypto scammer... erm wait...

Also, the crypto scammer in chief’s son is on the board of both major prediction market platforms.

Causing real world problems with prediction markets would probably be about ego and trolling.

I also find a clear political bias in the naming of some of the markets, but that could be simply because of the demography of the user base.

TBH cigarettes were chemically designed to cause addiction, most music stars smoked cigarettes, then kids did follow them and also smoked. Will not even mention alcohol.

Currently it's impossible to rent 70 sqmt furnished apartment anywhere in the developed world from a warehouse, agriculture, or hospitality job. Maybe if you worked in Amsterdam and lived in Cambodia.

Indeed. We need a lot more small apartments for individuals. It goes against conventional wisdom that we need more "family-sized homes" but in reality every jurisdiction just needs a ton of 1-bed units.

Toronto overbuilt tiny condos and now prices are down 15% from 2023 peak. Other types of house prices are roughly stable.

Hard to draw too many conclusions since "down 15%" is still "way to fricking expensive", but...

"overbuilt" seems editorial. Drive the price to zero. Nobody says that we overproduced potatoes just because they are all ten kilos for a dollar.

They certainly do say that about potatoes in producer contexts.

True, but our response (in America) is just to pay off the producers to keep food market prices low.

Furnished is doing a lot of work here; local warehouse jobs start at enough to afford a 420sq studio; the 1b would be 750sq ft and barely affordable.

Furnished, at the time, cost almost nothing. It wasn't even furnished by the lessor, it was a separate local furniture company, their monthly was very low and they delivered when you moved in and hauled it off when you moved out, included in the fee.
