This is effectively the system in the UK. You get "points" on your license, at a set number of points you lose your license and can't drive legally.

It's not a business transaction, you aren't paying for the opportunity to go too fast, it's meant to be a deterrent. As such scaling with income makes sense, it's only a deterrent if it affects you, and realistically peo

That almost seems irellevant, even if Putin cared what people think (I don't think he does for the most part), he controls almost all of the media in the country. He can just tell people "Ukraine did it" and they can believe

Already a sub! Just didn't add to the list, it was already pretty long for a "get started here" list!.

You might also like Sailing Uma. They've been a few places, but are in that sort of area and made it to Svalbard in the Arctic circle. They have similarly good quality videos.

A couple of points: - They got the dish/connection (I believe) free, they did an episode on it. - As far as I can tell (I've watched all their episodes) they've never actually said it is any good, so maybe that tells me somet

Yeah, Delos are pretty open about there being a lot of maintenance, and video editing (~80 hours work total per episode), they just don't show that most of the time because people (like me) want to see the other stuff. As a boat owner,

I was in Aber until last month! Sailed there from Falmouth, but now in Pwllheli further up the coast. Losing your rudder would kinda suck.

Pretty sure they got the dish free, they did an episode on it. I've watched Delos since the beginning. I'd be surprised if they make that sort of money.

How I started, YMMV: 1. Watching a lot of YouTube, see my list of channels in another comment, and the note about not believing everythin they do is correct. 2. Joining the local dinghy sailing club. It's cheap, and although I don&#x27

For people interested in sailing you could do worse than check out some of the more popular sailing YouTube videos out there. That's how I got started. The first step was realising that "regular" people like me could do it an

The more money you have the easier it will be, but you don't need to be anywhere close to a millionaire to do this. Many people sail in sub-100k, or even sub-20k boats. Sure, you might not want to sail the Indian Ocean in something sma

In the middle of the ocean you're generally not going to be getting much work done due to the time required to look after the boat and yourself. Plus theere's the motion, needing lots of sleep as it's tiring and the need to i

I heard that right now you have to pick a spot, but the rumour is that in the future you will be able to move around. I don't have much more than that, Musk may have tweeted about it at some point.

I have my task bar autohide and haven’t used it in years. Seriously, I never see it. Between cmd+tab and Alfred to launch apps it’s just redundant.

You’ll want to buy paper charts and learn how to use a sextant! You should be doing both of those things anyway as you can have your electronics knocked out by lightning, but if you’re running from nuclear war specifically you may not have

For what it's worth, my Prusa doesn't have any issues with adhesion (heated bed, occasional clean, no cabinet). It could be a calibration issue (the Prusa does self levelling which might help?) or a slicer settings issue, not sure
