I believe that we quailfy under UK law as a Common Law Couple, though tbh I am not really sure I benifit, I think it just makes it easier for her to get 50% if we split.
There is no recognition under UK Law for anything other than Marriage or Civil Partnership. Neither of you have any more more rights or benefits than two random people who happen to share the same house. "Common Law Marriage" does not exist in the UK.
Strictly speaking AMOLED...is TFT; "TFT LCD" in the latter case would be more precise.
TFT, yes. LCD, no. Remind me again where the liquid crystals are in an AMOLED display, oh that's right, there aren't any.
The other kid had a broken arm set in one of those fiberglass casts before we left the US. After we arrived in the UK and it was time to remove the cast, they didn't know how to deal with it. They started to get out a rotary saw and I told them that it could be removed safely with scissors. They sent us to several different hospitals and then made us come back after they consulted with some doctors in the US. Of course, they removed the cast with scissors...
Actually that rotary saw device you saw vibrates the blade, it doesn't spin it. It's a much better device/method for cutting fibreglass casts than scissors. I mean seriously you thought they were going to use a circular saw on your kid to remove a cast?! That you've never seen these doesn't speak well for the supposed better quality of your health care over there in US.
What? I guess it depends how you define efficiency but for equivalent rotations of the output shaft a Wankel engine sweeps twice it's measured volume compared to 4 stroke 4 pot, that's why they have appalling mpg, they're small but they definitely not efficient.
1 pint is technically 568.26ml I think that last 1/4 ml approximation is as close as to not really matter.
No really, they are publicly scrapping the ID card compulsion, but they are still planning to build and populate the back end database which was the real bad idea behind the ID cards anyway. I imagine they will make it a requirement of new passports or renewals that you have to give the same information they would have requested for the ID cards, they're just hoping enough people fall for the con that because they don't have to have an ID card anymore the problem has gone away.
Been a surprising lack of outrageous April Fools on most of the sites I usually visit, unless they're all so subtle I'm just not getting it....
Speaking of ignorance, in digital cinema terms 2K refers to a horizontal resolution of around 2000 pixels, because of the variability of the projected format (1.85, 2.35 etc) it makes more sense to refer to the horizontal resolution rather than the vertical one.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
