He warned about Biden starting WW2 and boasted about beating Obama in an election... all the while trying to suggest Biden is senile.

I saw something this evening about the Electronic Frontier Foundation's extension called Privacy Badger. I have been using it for years and had a look at it's settings - it is blocking 1969 tracking domains on my browser. Nearly 2000 business who are trying to model my behaviour to try and place adds in front of me [which I block anyway].

A highly recommended bit of privacy protection:

NAFO Twitter says big booooms in Sevastopol

I expect some of the UK's care home chains are in this unfortunate situation. When an essential part of society goes bankrupt the State needs to take it into GOV ownership... If they just bail them out it creates moral hazard.

Doubling up on leverage? That will end well?

Those 8 million on the NHS waiting lists will be a more powerful voting block. CONservatives are 5/1 to win the most seats in the next general election; 10/1 to win a majority.

If you are right you could have a profitable gamble on Betfair; and as Betfair is an exchange you can lay off some of your potential winnings if the odds swing in your favour and take a free ride or make a round book:

The next time GOV wants to build a train line from London to wherever, they ought to start at wherever instead of London. It might help concentrate minds...

Some bloke posted it on Twitter, so it must be true... At least Dave is not Adrian... oh hang on...

"If i say im not invested. That means im not invested."

And how many accounts have been closed after you denied that they were yours in contravention of your ban from this site? Why would anybody trust what you say?

I must agree with Adrian; Penguins has offered profound and 'fantastic' insights over the years are the share price has dropped 99%.

‘Putin’s Attack Dog’ Kadyrov Reportedly in Critical Condition

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ramzan-kadyrov-chechen-leader-and-putin-ally-is-reportedly-in-critical-condition

The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is reported to be in critical condition, according to Ukrainian military intelligence.

“The information is confirmed by various sources in the medical and political circles,” Andriy Yusov, a representative of Ukraine’s military intelligence branch, told Obozrevatel, which first reported the news. “There is information that the war criminal Kadyrov is in a serious condition and the diseases that were there have worsened and caused such a serious condition.”

His ill-health is not due to an injury, Yusov added.

“It is not about injuries. Other details require additional clarification. He has been ill for a long time, and we are talking about systemic health problems,” he said. “For the last few days, he has been in a serious condition.”

Eric Topol is an American cardiologist and writer whose newsletter I subscribe to. His latest piece is interesting and had a link in it to the Economist article:

https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2023/09/13/how-scientists-are-using-artificial-intelligence

These sentences stood out:

'For example, a retinal scan is rich with information that people can’t see, but machines can, providing a gateway to multiple aspects of human physiology, including blood pressure; glucose control; risk of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, kidney, and hepatobiliary diseases; and the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. As a cardiologist, I would not have envisioned that machine interpretation of an electrocardiogram would provide information about the individual’s age, sex, anemia, risk of developing diabetes or arrhythmias, heart function and valve disease, kidney, or thyroid conditions. Likewise, applying deep learning to a pathology slide of tumor tissue can also provide insight about the site of origin, driver mutations, structural genomic variants, and prognosis.'

Are they the same story? Could be interesting; hopefully a smug politician gets their comeuppance; I will settle for a smug celebrity as consolation prize.

Adrian,

If you read the article you would have seen that Octopus Energy expects to be able to give them away; no commission to be made there.

You seem to sneak on when you think Admin are away for the weekend - you do realise it makes you look like a coward?

Anyway - in the bin with the rest of your failed accounts.

Are you going to post all weekend, Adrian? Funny how you give yourself away... maybe open a separate account to post on your other share and people will not find you out so fast?

PS - who are 'them'?
