You wouldn't, normally, think of a roller-blind as a particularly complicated device to operate. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2024/06/hmm-my-linen-closet-door-seems-to-have.html However, apparently, certain people find the almost imperceptible effort involved in lifting your elbow just twice, to gently pull the chain/cord to lift/lower the blind to be too much. So instead you have to yank the chain/cord with all your might. Ripping the chain/cord from its winding. Immediately rendering the blind permanently inoperable. Even if that then forces someone else to vertically mount a venetian-blind into the recess. Venetian-blinds being the ones with slats you can rotate. Reducing the need for the entire blind to be lifted/lowered. Obviously you wouldn't want to mount it all the way into the recess, as that would see it snag on the window latch/handle. Although you would want to mount it far enough into the recess that things can be stored in front of it. Reducing the ...

It's Such A Small Dream To Have Come True.

As part of my end of Prime Month admin I ordered, basically, a year's worth of coffee pods. While the delivery fee was covered by Prime I ordered them through market place. So they weren't being sold by Amazon and didn't use Amazon's distribution network. The people I brought them from and the distribution network they used messed me about relentlessly. Every day all I got was a new delivery date. Including the dreaded one from Amazon; "We're sorry. If it doesn't arrive within the next 24 hours we'll just write it off and give you your money back." 8 days later it finally arrived. Not how you motivate people. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11938/13419373/grimsby-town-2-2-man-utd-12-11-on-penalties-league-two-club-win-epic-penalty-shootout-after-andre-onana-makes-two-errors

Surprise(!) Magic Grandpa Can Have It For Free(!)

One of the foundations of modern Economies continues to John Locke's Labour Theory of Property. This states that natural resources are common to all. It is only by applying our labour to them that we can turn them into our private property. This continues to present a massive challenge to efforts to combat Climate Change as it means no-one can be paid for leaving a tree standing and absorbing Greenhouse Gases. Instead you have to cut the tree down and sell it for money in order use that money to buy a machine which does a much worse job of absorbing Greenhouse Gases. Some very clever people have devised a solution to this conflict; Carbon Trading markets. This acknowledges that trees, particularly Rainforests, are doing work which is highly valuable to humans by absorbing damaging Greenhouse Gases. So the people emitting Greenhouse Gases have to pay the people with trees for the valuable work they're doing. While it provides money this solution doesn't provide all the jobs ...

Like Getulio Vargas Juan Peron Was A Classic Fascist.

https://news.sky.com/story/nazi-looted-painting-spotted-in-property-listing-13419198 That is to say a Communist who believed in Racism rather than Marxism. The most famous Fascists being Germany's Nazis or National Socialists. I really could have done with spending today discussing how the urbanisation of Brazil's Fifth Republic and the freedom of fancy modern gadgets like indoor plumbing, electricity, refrigerators and big American motor cars it brought with it represented a sort of payment in kind. Plus the inflation and rising employment things. Although I can't say I'm feeling particularly motivated for tomorrow. While I slept through most of the middle of it it's clear some people were planning this as a very irritating day. Not the sort of behaviour that can expect to go unpunished.

https://news.sky.com/story/trump-seeks-to-fire-fed-governor-triggering-fresh-independence-crisis-13418524 In waking up today I had two objectives. The overriding, primary objective was wood-staining the wood on my Grandmother's (enclosed) wooden porch. Which would leave it looking substantially less shabby, even from the distance of the public street. It would also leave it less likely to rot and collapse, in yet another expensive disaster. My second objective was to assess the damage of the most recent expensive disaster, the garden which sits over the newly installed water supply pipe. This was divided into a secondary and tertiary objectives; Cutting down the lawn to see how much lawn was left. Then trimming the hedge. To begin to understand what needs to be done about the thing in the hedge which isn't a hedge, once the sap stops rising. At pretty much the moment I achieved my primary objective it started raining heavily. This prompted me to spend a long lunch tutting and s...

The orthodox way of dealing with that is not being a hopeless muppet in the first place. Failing that the Homo response is to raise interest rates to suppress demand. In the long-term Trump's uber Hetero idea of imposing an extra, baseline, 10% sales tax on all American consumers may reduce inflation. If Trump takes all the big, beautiful amounts of money he's raising from within the US economy and locks it in a vault. However in the short-term an extra, baseline, 10% sales tax is going to drive up inflation. By, er well, 10%!

While some of us could instantly identify the Balearic Islands location from the Volcanic rock formations. It's a kind of messy sci-fi take on China's solution to the Malthus Problem.

Obviously it's Perimenopausal women as sexual beings. It also offers evidence of how gender power dynamics have changed in recent years. A male boss hiring a dominatrix to humilate him is such an old story it's pretty much a cliche. The AI stuff was kind of clunky though. The relationship seemed to pay homage to the relationship between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Jamie Bell in; "Nymphomaniac" (2013). While not that sexual it was certainly sexual enough to give me severe anxiety. Definitely far too sexual for The Oscars then.

The Lead pipe with the issue was only about 35mm in (Imperial) radius. Although they gyppo'd it off before I could snap a photo I'd guesstimate the hole as being about the size of the; "Bullpoint" of a; "Bullpoint Pen." I think the fact the pipe in question is almost as old as your Mum rather solves that mystery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJGg_vdSPaI&pp (Dusted, Leftfield Ft. Roots Manuva, Official Video). And twice as dry too(!) Speaking of the thing in the hedge, that isn't a hedge though. It's probably best I just knock on someone's door, with a Chainsaw in tow. After all.

With Thames Water It's Impossible To Rule Out A Coincidence.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8336y0959o A Thames Water main leaking is pretty much a universal constant. So it's a bit like saying my leak occured alongside gravity. It did go online about lunchtime on Sunday (10/8) though.

Aren't we all disappointed that there wasn't a sweary message from my Grandfather etched into it? https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/08/well-thats-put-damper-on-day.html As the soil became ever more saturated it became increasingly obvious that the leak was on the supply pipe, rather than the mains pipe. Although I'm happy to say that it wasn't as difficult to repair as I was expecting. Replacing supply/mains pipes is actually highly specialised work. Not only is it completely beyond my abilities it's beyond the abilities of a regular household plumber. The sort of person you'd get into renovate your bathroom or replace your kitchen sink. As with Natural Gas it's one of those things where you really need to use someone who has got all the proper certificates. The water company that owns the mains pipes and your insurance company will certainly give you grief if you don't. With good reason. This type of work is known as; "Groundswork....

Then discovered I couldn't get cool again. Really the last warning sign that you're on the road to Hyperthermia. Luckily for me the heatwave broke that evening, allowing me to cool down. Which is probably something for the British public to bear in mind at the start of this, predicted, heatwave. Although I should point out that while Climate Change is definitely not helping this year's hot weather is, primarily, being driven by the Sun's heat output being at the peak of its 11 year cycle.

https://news.sky.com/story/who-were-the-five-al-jazeera-journalists-killed-by-israel-in-gaza-13409997 Certainly the UN has never seen any evidence that that anyone has ever been a member of Hamas. It's interesting that everyone is reporting that the allegations are; "Baseless" but aren't reporting what the allegations are. As that would require them to explain why they think they're baseless. For example are they claiming that the vast database of Hamas's staff had been faked in its entirety? Or are they claiming that just this entry has been forged and added later? In which case why do they think Hamas left a gap in their sequential ID numbers?

Well, That's Put A Dampner On The Day.

I've decided that one of my neighbours is not spitefully pouring water on the end of my garden path. In protest at me failing to find the time to paint my garden gate. There's a water leak right on the property boundary. It's either the supply pipe running from the mains pipe to the house or the mains pipe itself. Either is a pain in the ar'se. However the former is an expensive pain in the ar'se while the latter is a pain in the ar'se that will see me join the list of Thames Water's great many debtors. Water supply pipes run through building foundations so their repair is something insurance companies want to be kept informed about. Located far down a slope from the foundation all the leak is doing at the moment is providing some much needed soil irrigation. So it's more of a top priority rather than an out and out emergency. However it looks like academic discussions about the built environment are going to have to take a back seat for a bit. If it is ...

There's A 1990's British Newsroom Sitcom Called; "Drop The Dead Donkey."

One of the big jokes is that Stephen Tompkinson's "Damien Day" character won a big news award for his footage of starving children in the Ethiopia Famine by taping a cheese sandwich to his camera. A joke to some, inspiration to others. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-863454

He's Certainly Earning Himself A Reputation For Gullibility

It Doesn't Take Long For A Magistrate To Remand Someone In Custody.

A wait of several years is pretty normal. And with terrorism offences they got a month to stagger the appearances before the Magistrate. So it looks like the police are going to have to find another excuse for not keeping their promise.

https://news.sky.com/story/brazils-former-president-placed-under-house-arrest-after-social-media-post-13407092 It's one thing for the American Academy to acknowledge that some Brazilians have made an intelligent movie about Brazilian history. The American Academy interfering in Brazilian current events is crossing a line. Particularly with the Years of Lead being the product of a different American Academy interfering in Brazilian current events. Once I've established the foundations of the Fifth Republic I'm planning to segue into Brazil's partnership with Soviet Yugoslavia in the UN Peacekeeping force introduced in response to the Suez Crisis (1956). The first ever UN Peacekeeping force. The mission ended with the outbreak of the Six Day War. The Arab States decision to forfeit their 1967 borders with the State of Israel. Not even the Arabs considered Palestine to be a State back then. Israel's victory in the Six Day war lead to the War of Attrition (1967-1970). I...

Sunday August 3rd 2025 (3/8/25). It's nice to have a day where you don't need a plan.

Which Would Prompt A Lot Of People To Ask Themselves Why They've Chosen To Work Alongside Terrorists.

https://news.sky.com/story/gaza-woman-21-lost-baby-after-being-blown-up-in-her-tent-british-doctor-says-13405332 Not her though. She must be a true believer. Surely the General Medical Council has got to be a little bit worried about the number of its members who saw that there was a Genocide going on. Then decided to join in. https://news.sky.com/story/almost-like-a-game-of-target-practice-british-surgeon-says-idf-shooting-gazans-at-aid-points-13401434 Given that a wanton disregard for human life is really the opposite of what the medical profession is supposed to be about.

In order to psychologically terrorise the devil Jews. Perhaps the US & Israel might want to try starting to do something about them. Maybe deny them freedom of movement within NATO. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-862993

I'd Imagine Social Services Could Still Intervene On Grounds Of A Proven Risk Of Harm.

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/31/pennsylvania-lawmakers-to-close-child-predator-loophole/ I've not been following the story but it does sound like he flirted with someone online who was 17 rather than 18 over 12 years ago, acknowledged his wrongdoing and hasn't shown signs of reoffending since. Which, to my mind, puts him on the softer end of sex-offender, rather than the sort of predator who would acquire an infant in order to sexually abuse them. While that's definitely a loophole you don't want to leave open maybe it would be better to allow the risk of harm to be decided on a case-by-case basis rather than introduce a blanket ban.
