Suggestion: don't rename things, it just encourages the worst elements in our society. Want to introduce a new name? Fine, fine something brand new to label, a street, or some other.

There is much speculation that Ukraine will be on operational-level defence next year. Ride out the series of Western elections (i.e. US) and rebuild capacity in the form of trained manpower, equipment and ordnance. As per 1914-17, it certainly looks like the technological balance currently...

The biggest attack of the winter over the past day. I don't have a breakdown, but 158 missiles and attack UAVs reported by Reuters. The news headlines are reporting high rise buildings, hospitals and a shopping mall targeted. I am unsure what of the electrical network was targeted. Poland...

Visiting Trondheim, Norway one winter many years ago. In darkness I recall most pedestrians wearing reflective ankle bands (as worn on bikes).

"Twinkle, twinkle little star..." Great backdrop for local Carol service!

Number 1 rule of flag design, everyone has an opinion but no one is right. Your beautiful design might look like a dog's breakfast to me, or vice versa. I like the new Minnesota design because it could represent absolutely anything - US state, Russian Oblast, SE Asian sultanate, old style...

When all is said and done, however, this looks like a rational decision for Olivia Chow. The renaming of Dundas plays to her core, well-to-do, cultural left constituency that, whist it may tut-tut over the aforementioned problems, ultimately cares more for culture war issues than quality of life...

Throw another log on the culture war Olivia! Completely artificial drama over a non-issue. Honestly, what a joke decision by a joke council lead by a joke leader. Yea, I get it. We take our cultural cues from the US and inevitably we have to find some hate figure in lieu of Robert E Lee, or...

🤣🤣 Lots of Torontonians down here in Ridgway now! We are trying to make them feel at home with our skyrocketing house prices too, but cannot keep up with the big smoke.

I prefer gas stoves, hands down. I am currently on an induction hob under sufferance but will shortly be replacing with gas. Easier to cook and not an air quality issue with an extractor hood. Simples.

The history cited is effect, not cause. The upstream phenomena is a society that has grown and inculcated what one philosopher termed 'a culture of self-repudiation.' Specifics of such a culture's history are effectively irrelevant as the worst aspects will always be seized upon as exemplar of...

Really??

So basically, the precedent that governed human and group interaction everywhere since the dawn of time shouldn't apply to America. Are we gullible?

That really made me laugh out loud! But indicative of the frivolous, narcissistic culture that currently blights our society.

It would seem the number of applications or associated apps Google has now keeps its brand reasonably fresh.
