I didn't get where I am today without keeping track of business clichés.

One would hope that voting for Trump is, per the constitution, not an option.

As they don't need it any more, they were dropping off their good taste for someone else to have.

No-one said 'go look up MD5 hash reverses'. But huge databases of them are on the Web, and the fuckers crawl anything and everything they can find.

Statistically, what's likely to be next after 'MD5' and [hash]? 'passw0rd'...

Similarly, a bunch of 'all Americans' aren't normally going to vote.

The two most favourable to Trump are the only two marked as using 'likely voters' rather than 'registered voters'.

Which has been most successful in predicting the actual results?

Far-right candidates attract those who wouldn't normally vote, so it's plausible they wouldn't be reg D/R/* voters.

Fascinating to see the level of 'noooo' this gets, especially when the answer is 'no'.

Is your mind clearer now, though?

Ah, the 'my partner says this works for her, therefore it works for every woman' book.

It's the 'Contented Little Baby' of sex Ed books: the recipe - not 'go down on her', the full 'x licks like this, then y like that, then...' one - is almost impossible to follow & if it doesn't work, it's you.

Internal doors - offices etc - still exist.

We have a doorbell. Most delivery drivers still knock on the door.

I've seen him, he's rubbish.

Tickets to the Van Gogh museum are worth faking?

"Generally successful frontline battle commanders" tend not to have chunks of their own side go 'I don't know much about the other guy, but I know enough about you to join in, mid-battle, with them'.

One of the features of the Spike Milligan war diaries - active duty with the Royal Artillery in North Africa & Italy - is his tourism, including visiting the ruins of Cathage and Pompei.

Mmm, I always thought the spelling etc was to screen out those who go 'a real email from Your Bank wouldn't misspell those words', leaving the more gullible to reply.

Not looking for those who think 'aha, a scam, I will beat them'.

Erm, tell him when you're nearing the point of having enough?

Well, at least there's no particular shirtless one in the preview of the article.

Static site generators remove the attack vectors that CMSs have.

"Go back to your constituency and stay there"?

We can tell what it's like by the way that there is a question mark in it.

Sympathy.

What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Applause - this shit needs stomping out, quickly.

I did wonder why so many dildos on Amazon have suction cups, despite the way that doesn't help when using them handheld and is a problem when using a harness.

Now we know, now we know...

If the best strategy gets you a 99.54% payout, the optimal strategy is either "don't play" or "be the one running the machine", isn't it?

They've been doing that for decades.

What makes you think the nurse was a woman?

In a decent country, Starmer or the King would have visited an asylum hostel by now.

Quantum of Solace would have been better if they'd just filmed the whole of the opera and nothing else.

Have you seen Die Spy Kill Kill?

Favourite film seen in a cinema on opening day (& first showing): Terminator 2.

Never seen in a cinema: Tar. I wish there was a DVD with director's & actors' commentaries.

Bonus 'seen at film festival before release': tie between Re-Animator, This is Spinal Tap, & Mishima.

Just collateral damage in the fight against the evil trans, eh?
