Had a look at it. All available online.

There's an awful lot of guff in there. An awful lot. Mixed in with some stuff that's true. As per.

Doesn't help that we kyboshed stuff during covid that turned out to be potentially true. Martin Rees - the Astronomer Royal - will be paying out on a bet (in the wrong way) - on whether Covid escaped from Wuhan. It's inconvenient that it could well be (very likely to be) the case - and made worse that Zuck and his social buddies, and the MSM censored that narrative. Censorship is an own-goal that fuels conspiracy theorists.

Personally I think it is a tactic to pull people in, soft conspiracy.

I am really struggling to understand why Heathrow had a single point of failure?

I mean, it's likely a Russian job, in blowing up the substation. But come on...

Money saving no doubt, they surely should have two main lines with each one only loaded to 40% in case one of them fails the other can take the whole load with room to spare, although whether this is feasible it would no doubt cost quite a bit of money as well.

Considering many homes nearby also lost power, the fault is with the National Grid, not the airport.

Even modest businesses would have a fail over for Disaster Recovery and this is Heathrow Airport ffs. It's beyond weird.

It's fucking lame.

They know where their points of failure are. The airport's statement shows that they knew there was a point of failure there but they didn't do anything about it. Basic planning fail and, absolutely, internationally embarrasing.

Not that I'm personally embarrased. I'm not "Britain" :)

Got a random and out of the blue £150 refund on council tax, on a house we rented for 6 months, 15 years ago, which is nice.

Buying weed with it, cheers, council that I haven't been able to vote for, for 6 years, cunts.

Managed to take a chunk out of my right click finger, by getting dressed... putting my belt on, basically ripped a callus off. Pissing with blood.

I'd had to whitelist Youtube on Adblock plus because it was randomly blocking access. Cue endless irrelevant drivel and ads getting longer and worse. Then an overlay from Adblock Plus on the YouTube video screen itself the other day saying (basically) "watch this without ads" you click it and it just pops the video out of the page and you can watch without ads without even reblacklisting YouTube.

Glad the Turkish government is at the finding out stage, after asking the question, what happens when you imprison political rivals.
