Yup.  Knee-jerk response of the angry artist jerk.

From what I've seen, the diver wasn't exactly Mr Tactful to start with, but that in no way justifies what can only be described as an outburst by Elon Musk. I think that the submarine was PR lead, though it served as a proof of concept for further research.

As Dr Beardy (Mrs) put it this morning, I think that both men would have been better served if they'd kept their mouths shut.

The Daily Hiel Mail for perpetuating the myth that sharks are dangerous just of themselves.
Experts warn of fearsome Sharks heading to British waters.

Assuming¹ of course it isn't actually an anti-imigration story in disguise.


1. What? You expect me to click a link to that rag and actually read the article?

[T42]

It's the fearsome sharks dorks swimming towards N°10 you have to worry about.

Sniff Petrol nails Elon Muskrat.

BJ for his current input of fuckwittery.

BJ once again displays what an utter shit he is.

Whilst he's holding out on the apology front the pressure is on. Even Maybot has said she wants him to apologise.

What's the betting the slimy bastard words an apology along the lines of "I'm sorry if anyone took offence at my jolly jape" ?

Just man the fuck up you bastard and apologise for what **YOU** said. Twat.

These people.

Beachgoers in Alabama who descended on the breeding ground of a threatened seabird species this summer scared adults away from their nests and used the eggs to decorate the sand, most likely killing hundreds of chicks, wildlife experts say.

[Beardy]

Me. Because I'm trying to answer as many threads as possible before someone else posts. did I mention I was bored?

So, when faced with the information that the manufacturing sector was now in recession for the first time since the vote to leave the EU, the moron in charge of the economy is quoted as saying the following:

" Philip Hammond, the chancellor, said: “We are working hard to build a stronger, fairer economy – dealing with the deficit, helping people into work, and cutting taxes for individuals and businesses.”

Yeah that's right, a bland soundbite will do the plebs....

Elon Musk

Karma, thy name is the Securities & Exchange Commission? 

Tesla is likely to face investigation by US securities market regulators following the CEO Elon Musk’s extraordinary tweet that he had “funding secured” to take the company private, according to a media report.

There's also a class action suit alleging market manipulation (h/t https://twitter.com/SpicyFiles/status/1028076794484858880):

Ryan Zinke: Don't blame wildfires on climate change – it's environmentalists' fault, says Zinke.

well, he is right, if you chop the trees down then they can't burn!

They also skip around the fact they're building houses in places that need to periodically burn (on a smaller scale). I suspect the householders wouldn't be so keen to see their house burn every several years.

The contributor who submitted this gem of dangerous advice:

Adjusting your cleat float can also help to solve achey knee issues.  Cleat float is simply your ability to move your feet from side to side while they’re clipped in. A lot of riders attach their cleats to their pedals so tightly to maximise power that they allow for very little movement of the foot, if any at all. In most cases, however,  this doesn’t allow your knee to track in its most natural line or your foot from being in its most natural position, meaning that you’re essentially forcing your body to move in unnatural ways. So try loosening your cleats off. The recommended range of float or rotation is between 5-13°.

Maybe they use speedplay cleats? Not sure if others have adjustable float, I know shimano make you change the cleat.

[citoyen]

Nope. It's an example of the dangers of copying things you read on the internet when you don't understand them properly.

well, doesn’t she wear her ignorance in full view.
People who seek power really should be the last to be given any power.

Sadly, isn't that just how most people think. They're the most important thing in the universe and everyone else must get out of their way because they're very important people doing very important things. I mean, how dare they be delayed by other people using the roads they have paid for.

Same attitude in Surrey, people are 'trapped in their houses' by an annual cycling event that closes a few roads for a couple of hours. And they often can't go out because cyclists may hold them up, sometimes for up to an entire minute. It's so unfair.

We went up a closed road to the Col d'Ornon this morning. I made sure to offer a Bonjour! to all the people (presumably volunteers) sat at the entrances to all the adjoining roads blocking traffic

I understand that the plastic surgery disaster on the increasingly desperate Big Brother has used the n-word rather a lot.  I wasn't offended as I would rather lick the shed clean than watch such crap, but he's a twat for not realising there would be A Lot of complaints.
