Anecdotally, and when compared to America, it could be due to a combination of many factors including: - More regulation around employee protection - Excellent talent drawn from less wealthy EU states who may be willing to accept a slightly

Lots of working people don't feel they have the luxury to take time away from their busy lives in order to plan their finances in any great detail. I feel bad for the those now on TSB who were originally Lloyds customers even though, l

The design of your site is very pleasing, nice one. Is there a common name for this style? It looks familiar but I'm not sure from where.

To play devil's advocate, in an arena where all comments are ordered by votes, the unpopular opinion would simply be downvoted to oblivion and not seen anyway. Why would someone with a contentious opinion go to the bother?

I use toric dailies and it's the blinking that aligns the orientation. Once the angle is correct after blinking, the lenses then don't seem to rotate further. (I use '1-day Acuvue Moist for Astigmatism')

Depending on the hill gradient and if it's safe, you could try going downhill on the commute using just engine-braking (use a low gear) rather than riding the brakes. This could help determine if the problem is brake-related or not.

The car is self-driving and self-parking, right? For the problem of supercharger bays being hogged by unattended fully charged (commercial) cars, then perhaps the car can move itself to a non-charging parking bay once it is fully charged? E

But they do all seem to have $500+ phones already. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that they could afford the glasses if they deem it worth it.

Apple's probably just biding its time with the iPhone while it works to soup-up the Apple Watch - add cellular, more power, more battery, smaller package. I reckon the iPhone (and maybe iPad) will transition into just a dumb accessory

Just to play devil's advocate, none of those things are assured (apart from increased volatility due to the uncertainty for sure, as you mention). Perhaps Britain would even have the chance to actually to make itself more attractive to

I too have caught myself choosing retailers that I know will accept Apple Pay with an Amex. The convenience is almost as great as the cashback points incentive.

Additionally, I'd say that Polaroid as a brand is far more known by the general population than GoPro. To someone not in the know, "GoPro" sounds intimidating whereas Polaroid is famous for being fun, easy and instant!

What about the complicated menu structure of a GoPro Hero3+? Surely there's massive scope for improvement there? Would a non-technical person understand pro's and con's of the trade-off between 1080p24 and 720p120? I doubt it
