Yes, he likes to dabble! The first article I read was more on security clearances rather then specifics but I looked a bit further the other night, a nice selection on offer at the Musk Mansion.
-
[Apparently I was making a big funny above, will try not to do that again] Yup, will be spectacular if they do, I don't think Musk will suffer for the friendship and end of it when I comes. I'll shout the pop corn for when it does go wrong.
-
Apparently he renounced Islam. Not sure if this is true but given that they are notoriously 'relaxed' about people leaving the religion I suspect that part might be true.
-
Your current stock posts on here are either anger that the labour party are doing politics stuff and actually running the country, or are a love in for the right wing politics.. but no emotions in between. Anger or love. So Mandlesons post.... if not anger, must be love then?
-
Just catching up on foreign politics. Seams to be glossing over Musk not approving the democratically elected US representatives and their spending plans... and all but 2 republicans bowing to his twatterings, from approval in principle to no approval. Bickering is much more fun. 2nd Musk story that came to my attention this week was his drug use has banned him from knowing what satellites his company sends into space. Earlier this thread all for hanging Hunter Biden for his drug use... but when Musk has done the same... nothing said. As far as I can tell Hunter Biden wasn't influencing the US president but the druggie, Musk, is set to influence biggly stylee the future president. Or is it just me concerned that US politics has been so blatantly bought at the end of this year
-
He is reported to be affiliated with Germanys AFP..... didn't Trumps bestie have something to say about them, a bit of a US love-in...
-
In fact reading back a bit, a lot of posts about his appointment, you are going to be a bundle of Christmas fun with that much anger!
-
Double posts!! Didn't you post that in the POTUS thread, or are you double angry today that Starmer is making decisions and doing stuff? Fck all to do with Trump, he will be in charge of the US (so long as what he does is agreeable to Musk), he is not running the world - made it perfectly clear he wants to put up barriers to the rest of the world. Noting also that Brexit and Biden said Britain would be back of the queue, but somehow the world hasn't fallen apart there either
-
You know you could always, as I often say exercise a degree of self control and ignore stuff. I do that all the time 🤷♂️it’s not difficult just walk on by. Inevitable edit!!! Wahoo!! Only saying, rather than inane comments ignore?
-
Dasher, Dancer, Comet and Cupid, the brown nosed raindeers... just as fast as the others but they can't stop as quickly.
-
Excellent! The world is a safer place with her on the case. (Quote "Trump declined to say whether he was receiving intelligence", cut the sentance short to amuse me)
-
There is a fine line I think, turn up in a rust bucket and you'll get suspicions about the quality of your work. Turn up with 2 brand new trucks, a brand new pick-up and again, questions thought. I wouldn't worry about age - would be a petty customer who runs out to check the reg plate to see if it was this years or last years truck - but would worry more about if it is tidy and presentable. 20 year old Transit that is in good nick or a battered 1 year old, the 20 year old would give me more confidence. Would help if it was all logo'd up rather than a white van with only a mobile number on the side.
-
You're just proving a point here. What exactly are you bringing to the discussion?
-
As above, Peds wants us to disagree and fight with him, another EU incentive that we are forced to follow (being the smaller market), a good idea but EU.... what did they ever do for us.... (same as all small device charges in EU will be USB C to reduce waste... means frustratingly I'll only need 1 charging cable in the house and not 17 different ones)
-
That's right, continued a with a discussion when a pertinent point was made.... and your next discussion point... pure pointless drivel of pictures.
-
Seriously what is the point of you being in the discussion this evening, bringing nothing to it. Bring something fresh to the floor, credibility might be something you'd consider?
-
What's so funny about that, it is a relevant comment in a thread about the US President and how their system is also a 2 party system. However I can appreciate how you brought the discussion just so much further forward with 4 pictures.
-
Musk throwing his money this way because the 2 party system works so well in the US as well, with even less chance for a smaller independent party having any influence at all?
-
I'll have to get the pen and paper out later to do the same sums! (but approx half that for me, £500 to £600) Which works on StevenP justification 'saved £600, can afford a new garden toy / splitter / axe / saw
-
Not quite up to 10.5, probably 5 with the Fiskars, a little at a time (amazing while the family are putting on their shoes to get out I can be ready, grab the axe, split a round, tidy up, lock up and be in the car.. just as they are locking up the front door)... but that is not for everyone.
-
The one at the top is towing the other one, 'something' is firing out the back of the toed. Aliens!
-
Same thing happened with drinks cans, newer design so that the tab 'won't' come off. We got used to them too. Will make a big change here when I pick up the rubbish in the street - bottle caps ground into the mud are a pain to dig out. Sorry, meant to fight you.... hate them, change is unnecessary and always a bad thing when driven by the EU and all the hippy green types. I demand the ability to remove them so I can spread my litter in smaller pieces around the countryside.
-
I was going to say the same however age and fitness plays a part. Always look at some of the hydraulic ones and think can be quicker with just an axe.
-
Kind of my thoughts too, Trump had outshouted everyone else into submission so no one else really stepped up to have a go, rewarded despite everything. If there were 2 equal candidates, Trump would still be there but I suspect those more neutral, overseas and so on would prefer 'not Trump' to Trump (as President or as a candidate), Harris suffered from Bidens late decision to pull out I think, and again like Trump no other viable option given the time frames... if Biden had pulled out a couple of months earlier or given Harris the heads up earlier the outcome might have been different.
-
Busy day today... but a quick one, do you think the republican party could have made a better choice? My views won't surprise you that Trump is morally bankrupt who carries a lot of baggage. However most other candidates would have had a good chance against Biden (initially) and later Harris. I don't think rewarding him with a pass to the presidency was a good move. Like I said many times above, if Trump was a bloke living down the street would you give him the time of day bearing in mind his crimes (and lack of action against Epstein). In my charity works such a man wouldn't be voted as president or chairman of any of the groups, too much of a liability.
