Absolute chaos at Sepang on Friday. Shuttle bus services away from the circuit are totally overwhelmed and disorganised. Some folk still waiting at 9:30pm. Malaysia truly Asia... #formula1 #bahraingp www.reddit.com/r/formula1/s...

Some really well written essays on Hong Kong life as a Gweillo on this blog. Lots of observations many will recognise, funny and touching. Ignore the rest of the blog, many will find his views on the protests objectionable (I certainly did). YMMV #hongkonglife theescalatorhk.com/category/hon...

There may be some clues in the Spielberg file Empire of the Sun, the early part of which was was set in Shanghai, and features a middle class British family living, I think I remember it correctly, in the more up market houses in that pic. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shangha...

Call me a cynic, but IF he ends up in court charged with all the shit he has been doing in plain sight, his lawyers will say he was not liable for his actions because he was/is a basket case, and cannot be held responsible. The ultimate get out of jail free card, being a fucking moron.

I can remember the orange pedo taking the oath of office of the president of the United States at his investiture and his hand never touched the bible. "No touch. no can hold me to the stupid constitution, coz I have puppets on the supreme court... ' he said, probably.

My grandma used to call the shop at the end of the road "Nevashuts", because of the long opening hours. "Pop down to Nevashuts and get me a bar of chocolate and 10 Senior Service, and here's thrupence to get what you want."

It has everything. The plot, the acting, the cast, the direction, the cinematography, the fact it was shot during WW2, cast members directly affected by the war (Irene), and some perfect performances from the leads. Wow. Still my favorite in too.

It is difficult because it needs to be proven by a court of law not public opinion. He may well be guilty of shooting that asshole in the back, but measured against that you have to argue that CEO was inflicting torture on him by denying his rightful healthcare, causing excruciating pain.

Anyone with any experience of construction site safety would be appalled by this photo, clearly not very serious contractors. I'm not a safety professional, but work on a well managed site and have had training on what's good and bad. Unprotected fall risks, poor protection from falling objects...

Drones typically fly outdoors. Indoors on building sites, where smoking is most dangerous, they are virtually useless. Too many loose hanging wires, closed doors, scaffold, and other obstructions. They would need crack Ukrainian drone pilots to make this a viable system.

People who's only source of news is right wing trash networks. They have been brainwashed into accepting the outright lies as truth. It all started when they decimated education in the red states, it has been planned for decades. They're not stupid, just denied the skills to think rationally.

Construction safety is hard, you have a workforce that doesn't take it seriously, taking risks, putting themselves in harm's was every day. But it can be done. The project I'm working on just achieved 64 million safe manhours, we haven't had a safety related disruption in more than 2 years.
