At the sort of speeds that can be achieved in that area (Victoria) the engine might get dented. At motorway speeds it could do what you describe.

I’m not sure it’s paranoia, it’s pedestrian protection. Various attacks in London, Berlin and other places have been trucks driven onto pedestrian areas. Sometimes they can be minor, for instance the road going north from Covent Garden.

Not always. Some London boroughs were collecting one of the early dockless bikes on sight, because permission was never asked.

Some of the London ones surprise me. Several on one road in Slough (a town built around one of the largest trading estates, the location of The Office UK), a few in south-east Canary Wharf but none at the BT office directly north of St Paul

I’m still surprised how much art is made of Lot and his daughters. Much of it is great, if it wasn’t for the subject and the burning towns in the background I’d buy a print or two.

(Don’t) Try to use the sole function of a gun on yourself without harming yourself. Now use WhatsApp on yourself and see what happens. Do you do nothing because you have to think up something to write? The act of writing up the auction is t

Guns are directly linked to the actions of those bad actors. A private tunnel of communication is not so directly linked to the actions of child abusers (nor the images they share on these platforms).

That’s only a problem if you are a terrorist. Or have been classed by the government as someone to catch, in which case that is the step you want to avoid. Trying to throw away every chair or step a child drags towards the countertop is sil

It shows people pick interesting sounding options from a range with little care to whether it has meat in or not. We’re in such a meat dominated society that the current change is showing how flexible we actually are to fitting in with more

I’d like to see lower carbon cost become an important goal of keto dieters. Eggs, fish, etc count for keto as I understand it. I don’t like the fetishisation of red meat.

That seems related to the US. Is there anything where he leaked memos between other countries, etc? I faintly remember something like ambassador of A stationed in country B reporting that the government of B had a problem with country C.

There was a mild fuss at the time that some undercover agents had to be pulled out of the field, and were outed. I don’t recall anyone being named before returning home.

That’s the same process, the lungs are only collecting oxygen and returning waste carbon dioxide for the muscles doing said work.

I wonder how this will deal with content that evolves over time. Some breaking news was published to BBC News with only a sentence and was fleshed out within the hour, so the original publication time and the possible originality of content

>isn’t there a well known price premium for stocks included in major index funds? Maybe the premium is for being in the index, which the index fund dutifully reacts to. There are only 100 places in the FTSE100 so it is seen as significan

It will be reliable and fast because it's on its own tracks. It'll be comfortable because those tracks are new, and the high ticket price requires decent seats. I'm surprised by your concerns. Try out HS1. Like with Hinckley

UK has decent disability law that I’m sure is comparable to the US’s, where both have exceptions for difficult to adapt buildings. Whether that be the protected and iconic British Museum or the hundred year old Tube stations.

No, we would usually take/be given a stack of twenties. If it’s too much to be in that then it would be a cheque or bank transfer. We’ve paid most handymen recently by agreeing to transfer money later.

Exercise ball. It's the only thing that makes me sit upright (my idea of correct is straightish back, relaxed shoulders) and it permits a great deal of hip fidgeting.
