My current car is a BMW X1, which isn't really a big car at all. But I do need more space a few times a year, usually on extended trips. A bigger car of a non-premium brand with a small engine would probably cost about the same in taxe

By myself I can live with my bicycle and motorbike but once kids, daycare, schools and 10Kg of groceries per week come in to your life things change.

Traveling with kids is complicated. Brussels - Bilbao at the end of Dec is 1500EUR for 3x tickets. Driving there & back is around 5-600EUR, including diesel, tolls and a cheap hotel half way. There's cheaper tickets with budget air

The fact you sit higher and the extra visibility that gives on the road is indeed a huge plus. Car salesman told me "everyone's ditching estates for crossovers nowadays" and almost every brand makes one.

Here in Belgium you have the rear seats taken out of any car and register it as "lichte vracht" (light cargo), massively reducing the taxes you pay on it. Anyone can do this. I've seen an Audi RS6 like this.

> have no need for that capacity If I'm forking out 40K+ on a car I'm going to make sure it's at least useful for 2-3 vacations per year with the kids. That currently requires about 900L of boot space (stroller, 3 big duff

As someone with two kids, massive storage space appeals to me very much. Flying somewhere for vacation now costs $$$, so driving say to France, Spain or Portugal is a lot more appealing. A baby stroller already takes up half the 500L boot&#

As a European, considering the hypothetical scenario of Russia or China steamrolling their military in to our territory I don't have much faith in how long we'd hold out. We're good at bureaucracy and social things, not at fi

Thanks for the correction. I believe the sample was compared to one they obtained when he was in custody in Camp Bucca.

Say you arrested someone and wanted to establish family ties like find their brother, determine if they belong to a certain clan etc. If those ties were in that DB, you could find them with that data.

No, a relative of his did. Police matched the killer's DNA with one of his relatives' DNA in the DB, started digging in his family and found someone matching the profile of the killer. Police then watched him and got his DNA from

Not a blood sample (EDIT yes a blood sample). His underwear was stolen so his shart remnants could be DNA tested. This by someone close to him who wanted revenge and of course 25 mill. The mole was managed by the SDF who communicated with t

Reuters having started off spreading radical pamphlets is about as relevant as Hitler being involved in the development of Volkswagen. Nobody in charge needs to (or even can) decide if something like globalism or communism is good or bad, j

FB does work with 3rd party fact checkers. We should be able to trust people from places like Reuters to remain fairly neutral.

Apparently FB now prevents certain posts from spreading, making them only visible to the author. An example is one containing "Alex Jones". It's like a shadow ban, except FB will notify the user. Naval Ravikant made a very go

It's incredibly easy to find acid on the dark web and you can probably buy test kits on amazon.

When I was in Mexico City (10+ years ago) every single person advised "don't get in random taxis", make sure you know one / have a driver's number. In Caracas the locals also constantly emphasized the dangers. Rando

If Guardian has been compromised by anything it's surely by editors that are trying to turn in to a social justice organisation. Number of pages mentioning "white men" as indexed by Google: Guardian: 7840 / 3,680,000 (0.
