I've seen the same alert for a trio of HP printers on my network go up-down-up-down all week, really does flood your inbox after a while. This might explain it.

I drive a sensible European car with standard road tires, it wont climb a 2-3 degree incline with 1 inch of snow on it. I have never meet a person in real life with alternative weather tires. Its just not a thing in my country.

You should take a look at the "Stop Oil" lot we have in the UK at the moment, if they aren't a big oil psyops ill eat my hat. Constantly doing the least logical and public endearing actions possible without fail.

My understanding is the company was pretty dead a decade or so ago, since then its had a massive revival after moving away from the family-run-inheritance model. Three (anecdotal) things i've seen with Lego: > Its a toy that old and

300m fine on 1100m of sales. If their margins are under 30ish percentage it would wipe out any profit made on the illegal activity. Personally i think its a rather fitting fine and this model should be used more often.....

Nasa are supposedly working on it but that hasn't meant much since the 60s. Maybe inequality will breed a billionaire with a hard-on for nuclear propulsion?

Similar story here... I've handled cash exactly three times this year so far and its always been money for a birthday card. I don't even know the pin to three of my four cards. Tap and go is just so, so good. The only thing i real

No i think its accurate. At the point of asking "Can you travel abroad?" the answer for 67% is "No" Also as a European i can walk to another country now before nightfall if you pack me some sandwiches and promise me a b

Since the US don't extradite even for serious offences You can probably just ignore it and be tried in absentia if caught and prosecuted. You'll have to join the 66% of your countrymen who can't travel abroad however.
