Fair enough. It's probably just what you're used to then. I remember being over in the Caribbean a few years ago, someone got out of the sea and went "it's cold". Cold I said? You come to England I'll show you cold.

Cue the northern Canadians scoffing at my definition of cold.

It's not often over 25° here so we're not used to it. Plus our houses are designed to keep the heat in and the cold wet out.

You were young and stupid once. You know perfectly well that back then whenever you did something for the first time it was also the first time anyone in the entire history of the universe had done that thing.

My hypothesis is that they hide. So I saturate all the hiding places so they have nowhere left to hide.

When I buy something known for liking to hide, I buy N of them and place them all in a designated "I've got N of these things" place (P). Then I put 1 in its home. When it hides, I get its replacement. When that hides, same again. When there are none left in P, I buy N more. Eventually they have nowhere left to hide and finding one is easy. Consequently, they stop hiding.

Dry or humid?

The problem with British heat is that it's very humid, which is a lot worse than a dry heat. I've hardly felt a dry European 40°, but anything over 27° at home (Sheffield) and I'm just flobbing about trying to cool down.

I think that's about the polar opposite of where we're going with this.

Am I the only one that's disappointed the glass top is supported by their elbows?

That's just bad teaching. If you're not allowed to use negatives then the teacher shouldn't be asking questions where negatives are the answer. 20-25 is NOT equal to zero whether you've learnt negatives or not.

I'm sure the Israelis expelled from other countries where land was stolen from them will be pleased to hear this.

However it can be used to point out someone's hypocrisy. If country A is genociding people from country B, while screaming about people from country B genociding people from country C, "what about your genocide" is an appropriate response.

You might want to re-read that article. It doesn't mention Gaza once. Here are some quotes:

"fighting between Israel and Iran"
"protect UK personnel and bases in the Middle East"
"we've never been involved in attacking with Israel"
"we've got assets out there they need to be protected given Iran has suggested they might be under threat"

True, but I wasn't aware that the RAF are currently flying sorties into any ongoing genocide.

Brit here. I'd be happy to accept Dem voters. Fart voters can stay at home and eat their own dogshit. Non-voters too; they knew exactly who FartV1 was and I am genuinely surprised Harris couldn't get in simply on "I'm not Fart". They really thought she'd be worse?

And for those who get over here by lying about their vote; they incriminate themselves, and will be deported the moment we discover the truth.
