I’d guess it’s a reference to the specific allocation of spectrum that Three has relative to its competitors.

That doesn't tell the whole story, though. The cost of preparing and burying a body is, presumably, fixed in normal circumstances. Fancier caskets are a discretionary addition. Unless the body prep/burial is offered as a free comp

Why do funeral homes have to gouge on caskets? Which part of the service is not met by the amount charged for it?

Starling business accounts do allow cash deposits through the Post Office network but they're chargeable, like cash deposits on any business account I've seen. Domestic ATM withdrawals are a cost for Starling as they have no netwo

Metro Bank is going through some difficulties, to say the least, right now. First Direct and Marks and Spencer are brands of HSBC. First Direct is independent enough that you get a very different service from them compared to vanilla HSBC.

Are you avoiding human contact because you are worried about infection?

Opting out isn't free, though. It's a social signal and one that, potentially, brings with it additional stress as you're actively opting out of something your colleagues/superiors believe is good enough an idea that the

I’m not an expert so forgive what might be a naive question. Even if the languages had not split, could there still not be regionalised influences on place names?

I’ll assume you haven’t been close to people in the last stages of some of the crueller diseases such as MND/ALS.

Forgive my ignorance, and possibly laziness, but if the Pi SD card dies do your passwords go with it?

Brain dead is harsh. There are too many twitter threads that go absolutely nowhere and yet build a fraction of a story into multiple tweets. I have only enough attention in a day for so many things structured as a story. I’d rather save tha

Your framing of the issues seems so far removed from the rest of the discussion that I can only assume I’m misunderstanding your point. Could you elaborate?

How much of that £1k is feed in tariff? The loss of that has made new installations much less affordable.

As a society we have decided that there are objective good and objective bad. While in your view all may be an amusing intellectual experiment, society at large considers stalking, and other crimes that could arise here, to be objectively b

Is that a sign of Apple’s dominance, though? It just feels like inertia because the existing solution worked well enough for your friend group.

Fiat were famous in the 70s and 80s for producing cars that would rust away before the tires needed changing. Obviously an exaggeration but they used cheap Soviet steel (sometimes called washing machine grade in the motoring press). The 500

Fiat have made mostly terrible cars and could have done what Tesla did but chose not to. My concern, though, is that Fiat get to continue making mostly terrible ICE cars thanks to what feels like green washing.

Wrong or not let’s be careful about using full names as it’s how these things get whipped up into pile-ons.

If you're using Ubuntu and Android then you're already trading less convenience for either financial or philosophical reasons. So, you're probably not the market for AirPods.

The super charger network is the real Tesla range story, IMO. My Model 3 gets nowhere near the quoted range but I’m fairly confident there’ll be a supercharger en route to my common long distance destinations. In the UK at least, other char

Can you clarify your point about making it through Turkey on one charge. It’s around 1,000 miles wide so I’m not sure I understand.

I’ve had my Model 3 just over a week. It’s great. I love it. But I can’t wait to get an EV in a few years from a mature manufacturer. I hope that mature manufacturer will be Tesla. Right now, though, after sales care is pretty much non-exis

Private healthcare here (the UK) is subsidised by the NHS, so it’s not a fair comparison. Swiss private healthcare might be closer.

If I’m reading it right, the website will go offline after March. That seems unnecessary if VNU are still the ultimate owner.

I’m also happy with Arq but do you find that it's CPU hog? It’s got to the point my laptop is unusable when Arq is doing its thing.

In the UK we have more and more roadside chargers that take a card just like a self service fuel pump.
