in science, references are used to support statements, introduce some ideas that other scientists may propose, etc.
they have a purpose.

My last conversation with a JW
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i got to thinking about the last time i spoke to a jw.. i was still living down south, june or july 2012.. and i saw this brother in my local high street.
he was a few years younger than me - in his late teens and my early twenties we used to go out to pubs and get smashed.
now this guy starts acting super spiritual - he sees me and after exchanging pleasantries he starts going on about armageddon and how the end is so close.

Congratulations, Emma Raducanu!
by LoveUniHateExams incongratulations to ms raducanu, from orpington, kent (my hometown).. she has just won the us open on saturday.
i don't have a tv license or a tv, but i did manage to see the final in my local pub.
and the two finalists didn't disappoint - it was a cracking match with a high level of tennis.. and raducanu triumphed 6-4, 6-3. her achievement is pretty much unprecedented.

Three and a half more years of Biden ...
by LoveUniHateExams inhow is the biden administration doing so far?.
biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?
is he senile or just incompetent?

The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's
by LoveUniHateExams inso, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..

On the current migrant crisis
by LoveUniHateExams inthousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.
they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.
there's just no fixing stupid, is there .
