The problem that there are many homeless outweighs the problem that somebody wants to have a holiday home. Soliving the homeless problem by not solving the holiday home problem is valid.

I’ve drafted multiple responses to this but I find this comment so nonsensical that I get lost in my own anger trying to formulate a coherent sentence.

Sir/madam, you have broken me.

Even after trumpism is defeated, there’s a lot of trust for the US people to rebuild with their allies.

If the people are so willing to vote in dictator idiot maniacs, then how can other countries trust those same people to not do it again?

It’s the same for European countries at the moment as well. The UK is fairly less trusted right now because they vote idiots like Farage, Hungary is snubbed because Orban is a Russian колбаса sucker - so on and so on.

Those generations that vote these people in will still live a few more decades and as such any goodwill towards them is diminished.

For he insulation layer, I’ve seen people use sponges. Do you recommend anything else?

Beer brewing is kinda of doing this for me right now.

I’m getting excited each time I see the colour when I bottle it and then after a couple of weeks when it’s drinking time I’m like a kid of Christmas day to see how it tastes.

From a grown up perspective there’s legs to this as well. I can start off cheap, see how to improve, and slowly gather more equipment to do it better and better.

Haha thanks for the congratulations! Now time to sit and wait. Anticipating the first sip :D

It’s on the list, but not something I’ve researched much yet. Do you recommend?

Did you add them raw or boiled them down or something? And what was your best flavour?

What exactly are Americans getting for the tax they pay in now?

Surely chocolate teapot is th classic. Although that tastes good - I’d wager Trump does not.

I was wondering why dem presidents aren’t doing the same thing.

The only reason I could come up with is that dem voters, averagely, seem to have some sort of standard. They do advocate for improving fellow citizen’s lives. They do think their president should be held accountable (on the most part, but there’s definitely more accountability that could be put on dem presidents too).

Jump to the right wing republican voters. They’re either blindly following trump (they see him as some sort of role model), or they just think trump will allow them more of the freedoms they want (guns for example) and don’t really care about their society as a whole. I also strongly suspect there are right wing groups that believe Trump will screw everything up, put the country in turmoil, and allow them to seize some small control of their own.

I have never claimed the US to be reliable, I’m trying to say that ‘trading with the US’ was one of the ideas being touted during the referendum.

Also, they are certainly less reliable now than then.

The trade bloc point is tricky though.

Any rational brain can see that the benefits of being in the EU massively outweigh the drawbacks.

At the same time, we can see from our voting history that a huge chunk of us do not think rationally when it comes to politics. We’re all guilty of it. But some of us at a minimum can reflect on our knee jerk reaction and allow our calmer heads to prevail.

Unfortunately, it seems many of us have a knee jerk reaction that is never re-evaluated until we’re faced with the hardship it causes.

I feel like, because of the above, there’s still a small appetite for rejoining the bloc. Those who voted to leave and are being hit hard by leaving have no way to say we should rejoin whilst saving face.

Labour haven’t been elected to rejoin the EU, and it’s likely that any longstanding improvement to our country they can make will take more than one term. If they start looking at rejoining the reactive right will ensure they don’t get that second term and we’ll be stuck back where we were with the Tories.

Even some small word saying something better than ‘it could have been worse’. It really cements how pathetic our country has become.

This is all my knee jerk reaction however. I’ll l probably say something more sensible tomorrow.

I also concede that we have no other choice. We shot ourselves in the foot with Brexit thinking the US might be reliable and now look where we are.

I’m just annoyed at our whole ridiculous situation right now.

Personally I’d like it if ministers showed some backbone.

Great tips thank you!

Thanks for the tip. Our ideas of cheap are different though haha

P.s. just attached the sediment pic in a comment. Image upload is acting flakey today.
