Going back to this. When you said "everyone praised Ronaldo". Not really accurate. 😉elbowloh said:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-wiltshire-58558802A cyclist was punched in the head after a disagreement with a motorist over an overtaking manoeuvre.
Adrian Short, from the Swindon Wheelers group, was hurt in the incident in August near Swindon.
His wife, Mandi, fell in front of the car and said she feared she was going to be seriously injured.
The motorist was given a caution.

Maybe he wasn't wearing a helmet. In fact, I'm surprised there isn't something in the article to imply it was all the fault of the cyclists. I'm sure the below the line comments will rectify the omission.pangolin said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-wiltshire-58558802

In the video the cyclist grabs the wing mirror to prop himself up and speak to the driver. I suppose the driver could say he thought he was going to attacked so got in early.0

Just found out actor Terrence Howard published a paper on how 1x1=2, and 1x1=1 is a conspiracy planted 6000 years ago by aliens to limit our civilisation.
Well worth a read. Often such papers are behind a paywall, luckily he chose to use Twitter.

Those bastard cyclists weren't riding in single file.
How does the driver get away with rear ending the guy with the camera because he was too busy punching another cyclist?0 -
I suspect that it will eventually get referred to the PCC.0

How is he supposed to pay attention to the road in front when he's punching someone in the head, your honour?elbowloh said:Those censored cyclists weren't riding in single file.

I was in the top set in maths, at GCSE and so I had the pleasure of being treated to all sorts of pure maths proofs for 1hr lessons at a time. One day, our teacher “proved” to us that 1 = 2.pangolin said:Just found out actor Terrence Howard published a paper on how 1x1=2, and 1x1=1 is a conspiracy planted 6000 years ago by aliens to limit our civilisation.

I’d have been much happier learning the practical applications of maths rather than being subjected to that, but alas my shitty school still thought it was a grammar attended by royalty and dignitaries (that history was well behind it).

It's quite something to write that much, and for part of your reasoning to be 1 + (1 x 1) = 3 because of laws.pangolin said:Just found out actor Terrence Howard published a paper on how 1x1=2, and 1x1=1 is a conspiracy planted 6000 years ago by aliens to limit our civilisation.

The entire point of pure maths is the opposite of this. It is about ensuring that everything can be proved robustly, so more typical examples are proving things that are completely obvious e.g. that there are no integers between 0 and 1.Ben6899 said:

I got kicked out of the top set at A level for laughing in the teacher's face when he was shouting at me. It wasn't my fault, he'd always had a beard through all the years I'd been at the school. He was shouting at me for being late whilst being clean shaven. The rest of the class were behind him rubbing their chins, they made me do it.Ben6899 said:

I never liked pure maths.1 -
Weird one today out on the bike. Rolling along on a major but quiet road before a right turn. I slowed down to pace my turn after the oncoming 2 cars and signalled. The first car came to a standstill and waved me across. Nice gesture but wtf?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
