Because such a system wouldn't work in the winter. New homes in West London would almost certainly be in the form of multi story apartment building; so there wouldn't be enough free surface area to install solar panels to collect

Experiencing fear can be traumatic, but it's only by experiencing it that we can lead to deal with it. There is a lot of talk about PTSD now days, which can lead us to thinking that all trauma is bad; but normally results in post traum

I don't have the original source but I read about a double bind test of one of the COVID-19 vaccine side effects. Only half of the test subjects received the vaccine (the other saline), but something like two thirds of the test subject

Language naturally evolve over time in a way which allows efficient communication, so it's not something which should be controlled. The simpler a language is the greater number of people it will be able to be understood by. The whole

I would agree with returning them more if the parthenon was going to restored and the marbles returned to the original positions; however it seems pointless to transport them from one The British Museum to the Acropolis Museum which has 1&#

Don't criticise people in front of others, as it's not constructive. Conversely, make sure to praise other where credit is due. It's fine to question peoples decisions although it is better to do it privately, so people can b

The most popular car in the US does half the MPG of popular cars in Europe, so petrol has been too cheap; especially when when you consider that the average person in the US drives nearly twice the distance per years compared to people in E

The idea of stranger danger is largely a myth, as most almost all crimes committed towards children are by those closest to them: parent, relatives and people in positions of trust.

Maybe most of this profile is pure speculation based statical probability?

It only seems like that but people in the US have to pay for things that Europeans take for granted. You might earn more, but most people would end up with less disposable income.

Also rail networks require far more staff, and cost a huge amount to maintain. Trains have very large economies of scale, where the cost of journey rapidly come down with large volumes of passengers. Flights don't benefit from anywhere

That doesn't make sense as a disability is a lack of ability. It sounds like a copy of the British term "special needs" used to refer to someone with cognitive impairment, sometimes shorted in conversion by people as "sp

I use a 45" 4K Samsung QLED TV with my Macbook Air M1. It's great having a single big display on the wall above my desk, the only downsides being that I have to turn on the TV manually, but this could be fixed by using an adapter

I don't personally suffer from ADHD, but from what I understand it's a spectrum order with sub-types, so I affects everyone differently. Some people have trouble focusing their attention, while others are compulsive and suffer fro

Maybe the Roswell incident in 1947 started it, as one of the classified balloons crashed that used to monitor Soviet nuclear tests. The CIA capitalised on the rumours relating to aliens and used them to build a campaign of misinformation. E

The simplest explanation is in most cases the correct one; and in this case that would be one that doesn't break the laws of the universe! There could be another explanation, that the event you describe a result of confabulation; essen

The highest classed drugs (as in class A) have the biggest negative impact on society, and I don't thin that anyone sensible would try to argue that heroin, cocaine or crystal meth are harmless; or beneficial in any way? I can be argue

No, but I know a few people that have overdosed and died; but hey I guess it was their fault?

Most of the people I have encountered over the years have sold drugs for money, or to feed their own habit. I'm aware that people dealers at the bottom don't make much money; although most of them think they do as they don't

Absolutely. Possession shouldn't be a crime; just the intent to supply. The best way to help addicts is to supply them with safe places to go to administer drugs, and provide registered addicts with safe drugs and support for free. It&

The problem is that schools and teachers are at risk from more liability than ever. If a student is groomed online whilst using a school device of login, who do you think is going to get blamed; not the parents but the school. If a child is

My company gave me a i9 MBP for work, but I use my own personal M1 Macbook Air instead as it's so much better; no fan noise or smell of cooking thermal paste! Also and sites nicely under the 45" 4K QLED screen that I use as a main
