Ryanair has a significantly better safety record than all of the "safest" airlines on that list, and have never had a fatality or serious accident, which is more than most of them. It's own safety rating system puts Ryanair a

Ryanair do have a history of taking advantage of industry slumps, having put in an order for 100 aircraft with Boeing in January 2002 when aviation had nearly collapsed. That said, they take safety extraordinarily seriously and would not ri

Ryanair, which is by far the world's safest airline, has ordered 210 of the Max, having recently increased their order by 75 aircraft. So there is confidence in the aircraft in industry, at least.

That article (from 1979) indicates that the only legal restriction is that it must be dispensed into an approved container. More recent advice from the API indicates that fire codes usually restrict the storage of more than 25 gallons (~95

I think this misses the point, which is that many (maybe most) of the citizens of Great Britain don't consider nationalists in Northern Ireland as citizens at all, even while they are murdering them. After all, while the majority of th

Where I live, ANPR is unlawful except for Law Enforcement, so I don't generally worry. I've never had a car whose navigation system pulled directions from the cloud - always on-board maps. I can also turn off my phone or leave it

I don't think the security benefits - while considerable - would be enough to allow a car manufacturer to surveil everywhere I go.

This implies that Tesla can view the vicinity and location of your car at any time. Is that true? That would completely destroy any desire to own one.

BBC News has always been the de facto propaganda arm of the British government. It may only be apparent to you now, but their reporting has always been overly biased. Examples are any reporting on the Troubles (especially British crimes the

You are moving the goal posts. Police knocking on your door is not a raid - the element of surprise is the defining factor, from the US to anywhere in Europe to an infantry section in Kandahar. You claim above that raids are unique to the U

Different threat models, but a raid is a raid. Just like an arrest is an arrest, even though in the US it will necessarily involve firearms and in Ireland, it almost never will.

It happens in Ireland all the time for personal amounts of drugs. They are generally unarmed raids unless it's a gangland case, though.

Raids are common in almost every European country - which in general have "normal" police forces - where the police believe someone might destroy evidence.
