I reckon tractor tyres must last decades (thanks to farmers)

"Most tyre manufacturers and industry experts recommend replacing tyres that are 5 to 6 years old, regardless of the tread depth, and advise replacing them entirely by the 10-year mark. You can find out the age of your tyres by checking the DOT code (the four-digit number representing the week and year of manufacture) stamped on the tyre sidewall."

Pirelli (and other manufacturers) guarantee their tyres for 10 years - kind of calls bullshit on replacing every 5 🤔
 
TIL the meaning of :- Jive Talking.

"Jive talk" (or simply jive) is a form of slang that originated in the 1920s and 1930s within Black communities, particularly the jazz scene in Harlem. While it historically referred to the vibrant vocabulary and vernacular of jazz, today the term generally refers to talk that is insincere, meaningless, or calculated to deceive
 
T.I.L. the difference between Mcdonalds fries in the U.K. and the U.S.

McDonald's fries in the U.K. are made with just four simple ingredients: [1]
  • Potatoes (specifically British-grown Russet Burbank, Pentland Dell, and Shepody varieties)
  • Non-hydrogenated vegetable oil (a blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil)
  • Dextrose (a form of sugar, sprayed early in the season to give the fries their golden color)
  • Salt (added after cooking) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Vegetarian Status
Unlike in some countries, U.K. McDonald's fries are officially accredited by the Vegetarian Society. They contain no animal products or beef flavoring, as the fries are cooked in dedicated, non-animal fat vats. [1]


McDonald's fries in the U.S. contain multiple ingredients. They include potatoes, vegetable oil, natural beef flavor (which contains wheat and milk derivatives), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate, citric acid, dimethylpolysiloxane, and salt. [1, 2]
Here are the specific ingredients and what they do:
  • Potatoes: The base of the fry. McDonald's uses potato types like Russet Burbank and Shepody.
  • Vegetable Oil: A blend of canola, corn, and soybean oils.
  • Natural Beef Flavor: A flavoring made from wheat and milk derivatives to give the fries their signature taste. This makes the U.S. fries non-vegetarian.
  • Dextrose: A type of sugar. It helps the fries get a nice, even, golden color when fried.
  • Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate: A food chemical that keeps the fries from turning gray.
  • Citric Acid: A preservative that helps keep the fries fresh.
  • Dimethylpolysiloxane: An anti-foaming agent added to the oil to stop it from splashing.
  • Salt: Added right after cooking for flavor. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Not vegetarian friendly.

Fuck vegetarians.
There’s a reason bacon cooking makes me hungry and burning plants doesn’t.
 
Today I watched this


And learned that popular to some seeking reparations, that slavery did not begin or end with the British and that the biggest group to have enslaved others,took most of their slaves from europeans

The lottery has launched their version of the American Powerball. The American version you have to pay tax on winnings in most states and you can't take it as a lump sum without losing a good slice too. A good example is the $1.326 billion win by a couple and a single person as a syndicate. They chose the cash option which saw the $1.326 billion won by the Saephans and Chao go for the cash option of $422 million after taxes and cash reduction — 8% state and 24% federal taxes withheld, a press release from the Oregon Lottery states.

The U.K. powerball will cost £4 a go, you'll pay no tax on the winnings (except for interest on the winnings if in savings) but you won't be allowed the full amount in one go if you win the big prize. That will be paid to you over a 30 year period as one part payment a year.
