anyone advocating for less contrast needs a shovel to the head. Or they have the thing where high contrast makes the letters jiggle and therefore difficult to read. I get that when tired. Maximum contrast does not make for good general us

They exported and funded their errant knights using those trillions. The main reason the Saudi government has been left alone by the more extreme elements in Saudi Arabia is that they are the main conduit for creating petrodollars, so if th

And now we are somehow enslaved to re-invading Iraq for a fourth time when it falls again. Is about the seventh or eighth invasion of Iraq in the past 100 years for the UK. It seems that we have been in Iraq more often than not.

It is depressing. Networks are broken to the point where we have services resold back to us to provide the basic functionality that should be inherent in the protocol.

I thought markets were designed for unhinging numbers from reality. Surely that's what leverage is all about.

Well, it would be funny, especially if you did it at the same time. Could become a sort of Singapore style city-state. Perhaps then have an English parliament back in York. Though Liz might then abdicate, though confusingly except for viewe

You'd pay them. You'd take something small that needs doing, outlay a much larger than usual slice of money to it and hand it out to all of the last line of candidates.
