Yes. If you want evidence as to why, look at Britain and Brexit - still in thrall to the concept politically despite it being done under a different government, and the public opinion having swung wildly against it since. America is sadly a fascist corporatist oligarchy with a fake democratic...

Soon to be named: Damper Bay This looks really bad for people in that area, and 400,000 population (and all the surrounding areas, and also the path across the state) will not all leave, especially if there's no gas, the roads are rammed, etc, although there's a day or so remaining (but people...

I was surprised when I read the 7 year replacement cycle too. But I think this was accelerated in the past 20 years by two things. First upgrade, likely between 2005 and 2012: 1a) The switch from CRT to flat screen TV. 1b) The switch from analogue terrestrial to digital terrestrial (ditto...

Very sad to see a very reasonable request on an international website voted down to such a negative score. Other comments talking about pounds per rod acre or whatever too. Completely unintelligible.

Having bus-specific supporting infrastructure helps as well. The obvious one is bus lanes. The bus is quicker than the car at rush hou,. This can help a lot with bus uptake. Why sit in a queue watching the bus whizz by when you could be on the bus.

A large bus would cost £300,000 ("a standard hybrid diesel-electric double-deck bus is in the region of £300,000") - but would operate for at least ten years. It is therefore cheaper than the driver costs, marginally - or you could say the driver doubles the cost of the bus over its lifetime...

No, there are big players who build these things. Not in the USA, clearly, but in Europe certainly. These aforementioned tunnel boring machines are reusable after a refurb. Sure, they cost a lot to run, and the speed is limited by the diameter and soil being bored. Which is why the Boring...

There are other options, ranging from full size keyboards, to ten-key-less, to even more compact variants. I have a K8, a TenKeyLess but with a gap for the cursors, which I do agree with you about. It's pretty good, haven't noticed any keycap wear yet, but it's not been a year still. No issue...

This really exposes all companies that do not do routine maintenance on their systems - upgrading JVM versions, upgrading legacy and not-actively-developed codebases, and so on. That minecraft is affected is pitiful, given they bundle a JVM and they are in full control of choosing an up-to-date...

Back online in the UK, sadly.

Well that's the legal route options done it would seem, leaving only illegal routes to getting payback. Given the huge number of victims (well, relatives/friends of), I can't see them all leaving it at this.

Yes, but remember, they were voted in by the people of the United States of America, so it is only right that their taxes are used to reimburse the damage caused by that vote.

Single dose vaccination is rather ineffective against Delta variant - 30% effectiveness. You need both doses (+ 3 weeks) to become immune (and then it's 90% or so). To get herd immunity with Delta you need 80% of the population fully vaccinated (original Covid variant was estimated at 60-70%...

So the thing is, should treadmill sellers be required to ask the buyer's installation plans and child/pet situation at home? Because it seems to me that if they are "inherently dangerous", then they shouldn't be sold to households with pets/children unless installed in a lockable room with no...

That device amazes me. I cannot imagine how it is working, how it knows the thing it's just about to cut is soft flesh and not a piece of wood. It must be measuring expected resistance and on the first little cut it says 'this ain't wood, abort!'...

There's an innate understanding that knives are dangerous for children. That's not obvious with a piece of exercise equipment, especially when other manufacturers have not had this problem because they include basic safety features, and hence there are no issues ever reported (or it's so rare...

In a lot of comments I see a lot of privilege at play - people with spare rooms for this equipment. Of course this stuff is expensive, so maybe that's assumed to be the case. Never mind children that are manageable, and parents that 100% remember to secure the room at all times even though...

Indeed, a cheap undercarriage and barrier surely would suffice, and surely is what other brands have? You simply don't have an exposed treadmill, it'll act like some form of fixed tank tread, pulling objects under.

The product is clearly dangerous and badly designed. The company's response is appalling. I hope that people take heed and avoid this disgusting company.

So in the end it's looking increasingly like two idiots do something stupid with a car, and die. The brand of car is irrelevant, but the media made it relevant in order to make a story out of it. If the men had been poor and in a different brand of car, this would not have hit the news.
