  1. Why not, his Russian connections are already triggering govenment agency responses, he might as well go all in on a pair The US increased their sanctions on Huawei only last week as it happens
  2. As long as someone realises and kills all the cows to age in time, I'll be happy (Time is rather running out though)
  3. Yep, they'll all be using Elon Musk new phones
  4. But they will still be able to use Twitter, so that really is a bit pointless
  5. A man that can gain almost $200bn in net worth in two years can lose it just as quickly Worth half of what they were at their peak
  6. I just posted another of hers in the Musk/Twitter thread. Don't bother looking LOONBALL
  7. As if to illustrate this point, I saw this tweet whilst looking at something completely different That account is of a Joe Roganesque Youtuber and RWNutter, she has half a million followers. Given that very small (relatively) subset of the human race that follower her only 20k have liked or retweeted it in the best part of a day. Then you reduce that further to the amount that would also follow through with "the threat", its absolutely miniscule. These people think they hold power in they liitle tweets, they don't. They are amplified no-ones. I think your <1% is an exaggeration
  8. That would hurt Apple's competition like er Google Does he really want to pick a fight with Google too
  9. Apple won 9 out of the 10 counts and Epic had to pay a big chunk of Apple's costs Musk is rapidly becoming a laughing stock with many of the influential people that used to hang on his every word.
  10. Sorry the numbers / names get confuddling. I'm talking about the Northern Powerhouse Rail bit, the West to East and further North bit
  11. Remind me how Pixel sales are going Last year they sold 4.5m IPhones sold 230m
  12. The Liverpool to Manchester line improvements were cancelled years ago. Well before HS3 Or sgould I say... Johnson cancelled it (but said he was modifying it) Truss brought it back and Sunak has so far said bits of it will be funded. I'll be dead before it opens
  13. How would Musk destroy Apple? He has little or no hold over them, they do have a hold over Twitter. Musk is not one of the most powerful men on the planet. He's a rich investor that makes Jeff Bezos seem cuddly.
  14. Yes we'll watch the WCML freeing up capacity for more commuter services between London and Birmingham. Not only that but it will have advantages related to line capacity in some pretty far flung places like Aberystwyth, WHy Aberystwyth? Because it connects to the WCML at Wolverhampton and that line suffers heavily form delays caused by Inter City trains on the WCML. The WCML will fill the then spare capacity from the removal of Fast services with more Slow and Semi-Fast services which also require less separation between the trains for safety reasons. The benefits of HS2 will be a huge increase in capacity on the existing line. Fast services aren't that efficient HS2 has absolutely nothing to do with getting between B'ham and London 10 minutes quicker. It's about the massive increase in the number of passengers the existing WCML will be able to accomodate with the fast services removed And I say that as someone living in a city that is going to be right royally f***ed with HS2 because I'll either have to travel Fast or Semi-fast the Crewe / Stafford for onward travel as our London Fast Service will disappear and won't be replaced with a new service because they cancelled the Liverpool to Manchester improvements and cancelled the later phase of HS2
  15. Lots of old people in 2011 are now dead. I wouldn't be shocked to see another 10% shift in the 2031 census. The white christian identifying demographic is heavily stacked in the older age groups
  16. I think you need to look a little harder That bastion of left wing pinkos, Scientific American reporting
  17. You are lucky that cultural appropriation wasn't brought into play
  18. Apple suposedly considering removing Twitter from the App store. Not sure he has any option but to fight them. They could literally kill Twitter for a substantial portion of its user base
  19. John Lydon should have been on the Pan Am 103 flight that blew up over Lockerbie. He didn't get his packing done in time and missed the flight
  20. Leave him alone, it's the Shed Lovers Society forum
