What's the difference between a person's opinion and that same person's conclusion? Anyone with an AI account to help me out here?

Does one let one's conclusions form one's opinions or, is it the opinion that creates the conclusion.

And are facts required, or are they optional?

I would factor in at least an extra 10 minutes to your 'usual' gate time after immigration and security checks. More. If your flight leaves from one of the gates further away from the mid-terminal, where you come out after the train, add anther 5-10 minutes for the walk. Good point, I recall readin...

OK Tam once again what are you saying?

Read an interesting opinion piece on Euronews on how every time a cow burps, an oil executive laughs. Pretty much pillories the hyped-up ruminants methane emission threat when compared with what the downstream fossil fuel chains are "burping" and the attendant misinformation about how substituting m...

It's been open and in use since late last year but I had the first opportunity to use it earlier this month departing on Austrian to Vienna. Check-in, security and immigration is unchanged and still done in the main terminal. The entrance to the long escalator to the S gates is clearly marked with p...

I'm not a Brit, just an observer. If it were my country, I would resent a huge bureaucratic group making rules for my country. I certainly would have supported leaving. Obviously the majority of Brits felt the same way. The USA has already signed dozens of International conventions. The Geneva Conv...

Yes, diplomatic missions have always had their military attachés and been part of the counterintelligence and espionage business. But that was back in the simpler times of 007, George Smiley, wars (hot and cold), colonialism and empire where it was all "tolerated as part of the international system...

What happened to my post?

Repost it.

The BBC celebrating a girls team beating the boys. Ridiculous when the development of kids at this age far exceeds the difference in sexuality. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-68816466 It gives me the chance for a quick rant though. I was listening to a podcast from a sports phone in in t...

Iran flouts all diplomatic niceties, I doubt that it's outpost was not being used for nefarious purposes. The question in my mind, was it sensible for Israel to further inflame what was already overloaded with tensions by opening a new front. For me, i think that was really dumb. You can bet your b...

Bullet dodged? Pity it was Bojo and the Tory Clown Circus that were the incumbents, filling their own miserable boots, fiddling while Brussels fiddled.

Diplomatic premises, like homes and schools, are considered "civilian objects" under international law, and they are not permissible as targets unless they are used for a military purpose. Diplomatic buildings are entitled to further protections from attack or other interference by the host country...

I note when the story broke, it took no time at all before some on here defended the rapist by saying 'it take 2 to tango'. I am glad that while belatedly, this nasty SOB has been found by the courts to have committed this dreadful crime. I hope there us more action to follow and he finishes up eat...

Israel knew exactly who they were targeting. Iran says their recent mission against Israel was a success despite over 98% of drones and rockets being intercepted and destroyed. Being deeply unpopular at home, they had to be seen as doing something. It doesn't matter if the similarly deeply unpopular...
