...are sachets of sugar even standard?? Quick search here in Italy gives me varying results, from 5 to 8 grams. This is ridiculous

Dark matter, black holes, come on! Now you're just making stuff up!! :-D

That's what their website says. If you're confusing a glass whiskey bottle with a rubber dog's toy, you've probably had one too many

Totally agree. Real buttons are tactile... although your mind isn't 100% on the road, your eyes are there. A BMW still has loads of buttons and the most important ones are and the absurdly expensive steering wheel.
But if comparing to touchscreen where you have to follow and direct your fingers, the "knob" (plus having the control screen higher up on the dashboard) largely mitigates the risk coefficient. Still not zero, I'll give you that ;-)

In my humble opinion, BMW has the best compromise. Everything is accessible by a physical control knob placed between the handbrake and the gear stick.
You can operate the menus and functions without too much distraction, just glancing at the screen and often just going by memory keeping your eyes focussed on the road.
I know Mazda has a similar interface, not sure about other brands

Wouldn't it be nice to bet your* money and get it back if you lose?

I'd say on a general rule that if the food industry is against it, it means that it's good

"Companies and public officials could be doing far more to protect you.": they provide a free service at their expense, why should they?

More and more site offer viewers the option: pay the subscription or disable ad-block and allow cookies. Seems fair enough!!

Probably could have chosen the title wording better...

So when it's tax evasion and money laundering, the Bahamas are the perfect offshore protection. When it's the rich guys' millions suddenly the Feds and SEC have authority???

I know I'm not an expert and this forum is focussed on other topics, I also understand I may be oversimplifying but... is Mr. Bankman-Fried aware of the concepts of "collateral" and "assets" and "monetizable"???

While actors, singers, producers and co. live in ridiculously large mansions, own yachts, planes, cars etc. and dispose of absurde amounts of cash, I cannot feel guilty or sorry.

Sure, that doesn't make pirating legit, but it also doesn't make government spending a priority right now

As my dad was at IBM there was no way a Commodore or any other brand would enter our house. So it was a PS/2, 80286 processor, 1MB RAM and 30MB HD. And a 1st or 2nd gen Type M keyboard

Thanks

Pardon my ignorance but wouldn't L2 act as a gravitational "vortex" capturing random space debris? Thus making that area relatively dense with particles? Thanks
