Then there are also the lovely instances of deliberate misspellings / insertion of letters into words that never had them in English. Eg. receipt, which has the p only in Latin, but had long lost it by the time Old French brought it to

Not even the Russians could decommission their nuclear subs properly. I'm relatively sure that random semi-shading shipping companies wouldn't either. In a perfect world however... endless cooling water unless they're in some

Does it use internet to open up the connection? Because I vividly remember the share screen not even finding the other device (and vice versa). Could also be extremely slow internet being worse than no connection at all

I wish that would work when you don't have internet. Had to fall back to old school bluetooth, and like 1 MB/s to share a video with a friend.

Yeah, the UK is probably one of the best places for offshore wind, and they're building gigantic fields. And compared to what Hinkley Point C is gonna cost... solar and wind is basically for free

Yeah, connected a pair to a 2011 phone with Android 2.x (Gingerbread or something along those lines) just fine. Sound quality was even pretty good to my ears, whatever that bluetooth standard could push through the air
