He doesn't need pressure. When their US masters give them orders they simply obey. They don't even question it. It's been that way for decades. All the bullshit whining about the EU taking away their sovereignty is just a smoke screen - the UK has had no sovereignty for a very long time. And, of course, one of the tasks their masters have set them is to disrupt the EU as much as possible (it's a threat to US economic dominance).

True. But he's undoubtedly doing it under orders from his US masters - who don't care whether he gets re-elected or not. The UK has for a very long time now been a client kingdom of the US. One of their main roles on behalf of their masters is to disrupt the EU as much as possible, but they have to carry out other menial tasks too.

For the sake of your shares in the pharmaceutical companies, you mean?

If i don't get a vaccine and everyone else does, how are they at risk from me? If they catch whatever they're vaccinated against from me, then the vaccine obviously doesn't work!

I do.

Yep. Just more of the usual "big data" bullshit hype. The sort of nonsense you'd expect from Weird mag.

If we applied it to tfa, there wouldn't be anything left.

Procrastination is an important part of productivity. While you're procrastinating, and apparently not working on whatever it is you're supposed to be doing, your brain is processing it in the background. You may do things faster if you don't procrastinate, but you won't do them so well.

That's my story, anyway!

I love plastic notes as they don't get damaged when they get wet - i live in the tropics and often get soaked in an unexpected sudden downpour. The old paper money used to be a real pain when it was wet, but with plastic notes, you just dry them with a towel and they're good as new!

It also doesn't turn to papier mache in your pocket when you get soaked in a tropical downpour!

It means nothing. Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as the internet anyway. An "internet" that wasn't connected to the internet couldn't possibly succeed. What they really mean is they want international network conections that don't go via the US. That's not very hard really - just lay a cable to Europe.

It's usually me they say it to!

That must be the cue for someone to whine at you that /. is unashamedly US-centric and if you don't like it go back to where you came from!

It doesn't say anything of the kind.

WTF? You demand a citation, then spill a bunch of false information, I mean "informed opinions", with no citation at all. WebMD says you are totally wrong. It's fat.

No citations there!

Most drunk drivers can drive as well as most sober drivers

Of course they can. Just like the vast majority of people think their driving skills are better than average.

Most people may be able to drive reasonably well when they're not too drunk, but their reaction times are slower, so if something happens - .e.g., a pedestrian walks out in front of them - they can't react as fast, and that pedestrian's dead, where they may have lived if the driver had reacted faster..
