We've all seen the video of Zendaya watching Tom Holland daancing to Umbrella in drag, right?

"I've paid insurance for 20 years and never made a claim but my premiums still went up. SCAM!" Yes, this is how risk pooling works when everything is far more expensive than it was 20 years ago 🤦

Yeah, "meek and humble of heart" doesn't sound like their idea of masculinity. Sounds a bit woke, in fact.

"welcome to being underinsured" would be off-putting to customers. They aren't offering you those packages with the extra coverages just to upsell you into paying them more money.

When you go and get a quote, the insurance company might present you with several quotes with different coverage levels, labelled something like "the basics", "balanced", "peace of mind" or whatever. "The basics" will be the state miniumum coverage for your jurisdiction and is called that because

😭 In Ireland good food is available but expensive (Eurospar, sort of between a convenience store and a supermarket, sells basic passata, tinned tomatoes, fresh fruit and veg) but bad food is also expensive now. Eg €2.50 for a small chocolate bar full of palm oil.

There seems to be a trend in shorts/TikTok at the minute where Americans go to an Irish petrol station and act astonished that it sell vegetables and how cheap they are. A) they are not that cheap compared to the continent B) surely USA shops also sell carrots and apples

If Reform was the bigger threat, maybe being as different from Reform as possible would have been the way to go? Just a thought....

As this involves an active criminal case it's now sub judice which would mean they could also get a contempt of court charge, and more importantly he could argue that its publication introduced serious prejudice in his upcoming trial.

Hegseth is not telling the story, he's using it as an epithet. It could be translated as "religious leaders" or there could be some actual teaching of the story that explains who all these Pharisees, Saducees, scribes, priests etc were in the context

Is it misinformation so much as that the appointees appear to have a grasp of their jobs and general intelligence that would be easily ouclassed by a reasonably bright GSCE pupil?

Sure, my sister's washing machine had more programmes than my dad's and had a delay timer and played a little riff when you turned it on. But breaking unfixably after five years and water damaging the floor isn't worth 12 programmes she never used.

That's a post asking about higher quality items! How do you see "more durable" and understand "low quality"??

We aren't talking about a demand for lower quality items, we're talking about a demand for higher qualaity items that don't break/wear out as fast.

Rats fleeing a sinking ship doesn't make them not rodents, but it's still a good sign.

So where do you buy a simpler more durable machine, even if you have to pay more upfront? You can't. And if you have a large unplanned expense like replacing a washing machine more often, of course you'll feel poorer even if it's cheaper in real terms.
