Until now I was on the fence about Just Stop Oil but these warriors have convinced me.

I thought Latin Europeans were a bit more touchy feely compared to their Northern European brethren? In any case it seems more like a will to cancel the guy than anything else. It was just a peck but can't look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to ammunition. If she had her arms around...

My recommendation would be the following which are fairly short novels that are easy to pick up. The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler The Man in the High Castle - Philip K. Dick Bright Lights, Big City - Jay McInerney

They unequivocally are.

I think you're completely wrong there.;)

Arguments becoming a commodity on social media.

I would have thought so yes - there have already been some injuries and the power of the cannons has the ability to kill. Since land grabs are back in fashion it makes me wonder how much appetite there is for defending a shoal against China's might. It seems like the focus is on upgrading...

China will be upset that the annual Balikatan drills are currently underway then, and even the French are involved showing their support. They use the gold to build up their petroyuan system so they can buy oil from Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia. Bypass sanctions, diminish the petrodollar system...

It's pretty common knowledge that China claim a lot of the South China Sea but I hadn't realised how much things were heating up in that area. China actively being the bully in that area, probably thanks to all the other events in Eastern Europe and M.E. taking the attention away from them. It's...

In the Land of Saints and Sinners Put this on expecting another generic Liam Neeson film but it ended up being better than expected. Great to see Jack Gleeson back to acting as he was scene stealer. It showed some beautiful Irish countryside and would have looked better made on proper film...

It was just a normal Monday before I clicked on this thread.

As far as I know he hasn't been arrested yet but the police probably could find that out without too much bother. Which makes vandalism laws meaningless. In a similar way to Humza Yousaf and JK Rowling not being arrested for hate crime laws in Scotland. Time to drop the pretence of laws being...

I feel apprehensive and slightly intimidated about playing this game. The fact that it requires 20 goal cards to win, that's a lot of stress for the team if you don't reach that target.

Traffic Watched at the weekend. I enjoyed it when it was released but now it has a timeless quality about it. There is just something about the way it is filmed that makes it special, and I can't think of many films where the characters feel so real. It's a good reminder how film can be at...

If it's ASML Holding you are referring to then indeed, China's SMEE are a few years behind them, and you would expect an invasion to sever any connection between them and China. But when it comes to sabotaging equipment then that might be all that China wants in the end - to create a...

It's an AI race and essentially a zero sum game if one country can gain exclusive access to some proto-AGI in the next few years. There is the possibility that China will try and spoil America's party over that if they have superpower aspirations. Knowledge is one thing, in the tech industry...

US has a huge budget but I'm sceptical of how quickly they can manufacture and replenish stocks. China surely has the edge there. US would be relying on a quick and decisive victory which going by previous wars is unlikely. If Taiwan has agreed to have advanced chips manufactured abroad then...
