Lol. More people live in London than any three of those other areas combined; depending on how large you draw the circle that is 'London' you are looking at around 25% of the population. Trust me, everyone in London has an equal a

Given the complete lack of shielding that we get from the magnetosphere and atmosphere I am guessing that a few kg of scattered enriched uranium is going to be background noise on the moon. The target is small, the moon is (relatively) big

The pound has gone to shit and the UK price includes VAT. Take away VAT and use current exchange rates and you are paying a $200 premium in the UK, so 10% above US price is actually a smaller difference than it has been in the recent past w

The more charitable explanation is that the pins for the lightning connectors really do not wear out. This complaint is a made-up problem and in the real world it does not actually happen any more than someone accidentally jamming something

I am stating as a simple fact that education leads to a tendency to have a particular political affiliation given the current stances of the two major parties. This has nothing to do with a particular economic sector: college-educated truck
