Could you explain how that supports the point you first made? My reading is that it says more people changed jobs than usual, and noted that changing jobs often leads to higher wages (in case I wasn't clear before - I agree!) It makes

The claim was just that it’s a better indicator than BMI, which is certainly not sensible for all bodies.

If you have a USD-denominated bank account, based in UK or elsewhere, you’ll be hit with the 1% fee. If you have a bank account in another currency, you’ll be charged a 2% currency conversion fee from USD to your currency.

The previous gen Mazdas would disable the touch screen when the car was moving. The latest models go one further - the screen is not touch capable at all. It’s honestly great.
