I wouldn’t say cheap, that puzzle box is at least 1€.

By all the same arguments that you could invoke to justify British colonization in the first place, assuming you’re not going for bullshit like “god gave our King that holy right”.

What no, I’m talking of the 1830s. The British came back and expelled the Argentinian settlement, and settled back in.

They came back because the Argentinians occupied it.

I see two different reasons for a claim for Argentina: that they settled when there was no permanent occupation, like the French and the British did originally, and that they inherited Spain’s claim (who purchased the French settlement) following their independence from Spain.

My post was mostly going for humour, but if we’re looking at it a bit seriously, England’s claim is a colonial one, a legacy from a bygone era. They will inevitably have to cede the islands.

Yes it did. Argentina’s “Venticinco de Mayo” revolution in 1810 made it independent, though a formal declaration happened only in 1816 (technically “the United provinces of the Rio del la Plata”, that’s being nitpicky).

Let’s recap islands history:

Deserted, no permanent population.

French set up a settlement.

English makes another, fight the French.

Spain buys French port, fights British.

Britain leaves.

Spain leaves.

Deserted, no permanent population.

Argentina sets up a settlement.

England comes back, fight them off.

Conclusion: “rightfully British”? The law seems to be whoever smacks the other in the teeth and takes it by force, so I suppose that’s accurate.

However, having had a settlement in the island, Argentina’s claim is as valid as the UKs, and they just got smacked in the teeth so my verdict is that Argentina takes over administrative control over the Islands up until such time as they meet again in a world cup.

👏

Its time for the autopsy report to shine some light on that taint.

Oh well never met one, and from the little I know they can vary somewhere between late middle ages pilgrims up to the run of the mill religious person with a weird hat.

Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

In what way? I assume they must have been familiar with how it worked, or was it like performing a magic trick?

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated…

Hahaha.

“Remote regions of the world that don’t have fibre. Like most of America.”

I think that the #1 advice I’ve seen is to use a reference image, and that even professionals sometimes struggle with perspective - we’re so good at recognising faces that even the sliiiightest little bit off will get instantly noticed.

I love going to the boo! Usually so peaceful and relaxing, highly recommended.

Google was found to have paid manufacturers and telecoms to have Google search and Chrome pre-installed, and further enforced this by blocking access to its Play Store if they didn’t comply. Finally, it prohibited manufacturers from offering other versions of Android, again by threatening to ban access to its apps.

The only reason Apple isn’t also fined here is that they build and sell their own hardware, so they don’t have to force anyone to play by their rules - because they’re the only ones on the field…

Apple has been fined several times for abuse of dominant position though, and will surely be fined again since they continue to do it and profit massively from it.

The answer is always “more lube”.

Do your kids ever fight about who’s getting more food?

Not any more!

Here kids, meet Buddy! A huge help on the farm and in the kitchen!

Note: horse enema syringe sold separately. Minor changes to food flavour may be experienced, this is normal and not a cause for concern. Avoid dispensing of spicy foods as it might cause explosive discharge and/or being kicked.

If you’re able to form healthy habits before you eventually break them, you’re not doing too bad, I’d take that as a great sign!

For me, medication helps me be more focused and keep up with things for longer.

That sounds a lot like walking a tightrope there buddy. You need someone who’ll catch you if you fall.

I was only ever addicted to nicotine, haven’t smoked in 10 years, but I know it in my gut that if I pick up a single cigarette I’ll be right back to 1 pack a day in less than a week.

Everyone’s different and some people can walk that fine line without crossing it, but the safest is to just stop, my friend.
