If you remembered the 80s. You would recognise how daft it sounds to suggest folks are less caring about sexual assault allegations now.

Cool.

Personally I find it easier to picture % of GDP then number. And find exact number less informative. Billions are just to large a number to visualise.

But can understand others may see things differently.

So to add. GDP is the total of all final goods and services purchased in the UK.

So for every £20 you spend on living costs. £1 is expected to go to defence.

For a better comparison. Under £4 goes on VAT as many items are at lower rates.

Either way. It’s a pretty huge % of government revenue.

£192 billion is also what the DHSC expects to spend on the NHS for 2024-25.

He may know it. But it is pretty unlikely the gov has one given its trump uncertainty at play. Not to mention the news released on legal opinion.

But no cabinet member is authorised to declare war or not or future attacks on another nation. Without approval of the whole cabinet. So even if he knows it and one exists.

He is in no way authorised to declare it independent of official channels.

And absolutely any journalist in a position to ask that. Knows full well he cannot answer it.

It is absolutely not reasonable. Unless you are intentionally looking for refusal to answer. Because cabinet policy on attacking a 3rd nation is not and has never been released in such an interview. Such things would be officially announced to parliament first. And be an illegal act of treason for any minister to announce in such a way.

The minister for armed forces dose not have the authority to make the choice. His responsibility is to manage the forces while the cabinet as a whole advices the PM and or parliament on such choices. Depending on the timelines.

So basically. Asking stupid impossible to answer question Then critical about the lack of answer for clicks. Pretty shitty.

Since the 80s all public pool and games areas have become for profit orgs. Often with very questionable business practices.

This has left low income families in urban areas with very limited options to encourage kids to exercise. On a time per pound basis. Games consoles are much cheaper.

Returning to government funded gyms, pitches and courts etc. Added to an effort in schools to introduce children to a wide variety of sports or exercise based on them finding enjoyment rather than meeting some specific gov goal.

Is an infer structure cost that will pay back in multiple way. Not just saving the NHS.

Nothing against video games. But regular exercise should be cheaper or free.

And if the gov listens to them.

Time to sharpen pitchforks.

Yeah. Or at least your willingness to take the risk.

It can be fun making a set amount of money last as long as poss. When your recognise the fact you will lose. Given it means (at least in the 90 when I last did it) free drinks and once a free room. My ex and I had a good night for about $200.

fines etc do not go to the police in the UK.

As much as I hate the idea the US is a teacher to anyone. Given it’s own crappy history. Not that any successful nation really has a right to that claim.

Can’t disagree with the sentiments here.

Unfortunatly he sees no comedy in that.

My neighbour nations keep asking to join your defence treaty. How dare you encourage them to want to defend against me.

Parts of my nation left my predecessors. How fucking dare you stop me forcing them back.

You don’t agree. Wow that window looks badly maintained.

Agreed. But that strategy did not start until very recently.

Warnings have been used for 40 plus years alone. With very little effect.

Same goes for all of us living in the UK. Given the actions of our own government.

Warning have been on tobacco most of my life. I’m 53 and remember them as a teen ager.

Also remember no one really paying any attention. Banning advertising had the largest effect. As it was clear warning while companies could still advertise made no sense.

Then banning display in stores. Finally banning children born after a set date.

In no way we’re the warning the main cause of the drip in use.

Get your head out of your arse hole.

Nothing in the thread requires your anal level of analysis. The vast majority of 3d printers are 500mms.

I have no requirement to consider one printer made by the same fucking company when answering if the speed relates to travel or print.

When you are review an academic paper such anal interpretations may matter. Some jo commenting on print vs travel in just fucking pathetic.

who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis

everyone. Its how theories are formed,

but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.

First printer this size and price range. Above 500mm.

Travelling I assume. Printing very much depends on the fillament etc. not much a printer can do to change that. But a nearly 30% increase in travel speed has a significant effect on the over all time.

Not to mention.

approved plans for an assault on Iran pending a final decision.

It is not exactly a smoking gun. The US gov has its military advisors formulates plans for every option as a matter of course.

Yeah. That is a bad sign for gov stability. And may well lead to more MPs removing backing. Most whips have enough support to make excuses for resigning. When it is openly in opposition to a gov policy. That hints at cabinet being way less supportive than the media is told.

Reduce competition for the lobbying cheese.
