I'd settle for buried women and easy treasure...

I'm in the UK and would gladly support this measure.

The current government is probably too stupid to realise the effect of whatsapp going down overnight. So many people rely upon it that there would be public outcry. Easy win for the opposition at the next election...

I'm 6'3'' and would have said the same. However a friend (5'6''), whilst drunk, opened my eyes somewhat when a more drunk person shoved past us both.

My friend was about to kick off until I told him it wasn't worth it. He then proceeded to tell me that it upset him as tall people brush him out of the way like he was nothing and, being tall, I couldn't possibly understand.

My friend is very successful in business but his view of the world is different to mine. We were both shoved out of the way by the same drunk person but I saw it for what it was - a drunk idiot acting drunk. Perhaps my physical perspective makes a substantial difference to that of my friend's? Ironically, my friend was ready to break the legs of the unwitting protagonist....

For balance, a few of those things which are annoying when being tall: bad back, fewer choices when purchasing a vehicle, plane seats, low doorways, twats challenging you to fights, people asking you to get things from a high shelf as though you enjoy doing so (50% of people don't bother to say please or thank you). It's not all happy happy joy joy...

The government is a collection of people. And that collection has changed in the same way as times, opinions and law have.

Recognising the work of Turing, a gay man, now will help those alive today who continue to experience unfair treatment due to sexual orientation.

It is accepted that Turing's treatment was unfair and unjust by today's standards but there is nothing that can be done other than honour and remember him.

Totally on point.

There will be plenty of time after all of this to sift through the decision-making process with the benefit of hindsight. However we do first have to get to a point of "after all of this" which means we are better off spending our time and resources in battling the pandemic rather that being a dick about it.

I was going to take issue with your first sentence. However, you make your point well. Sadly.

I think this is so of modern politics in most developed countries. There needs to be a new party to shake the tree and give the voters more choice. Of course, that won't happen as the current system is so old it serves the two-party system. Each party will get a turn over time as it's impossible to rule for a number of years without offending enough voters which causes a power-switch.

Trump was the last turkey in the shop and it was starve or have turkey. The US has been chowing down on that corn-fed carcass every since.

To be honest, that's the only reason I would do it. I would leave the printer as a sacrificial lamb to appease the hackers when they gain access to my network. Give them something and they leave you alone right?

Seriously though, who still uses ink? Colour laser will suit most for home use and a printer needn't cost too much. Does toner have a shelf life?

When I see people watching Netflix and other services on the train, they turn their screen horizontally. Would film/TV be better presented vertically on a vertical device?

Vertical looks fine exclusively on a vertical device. Horizontal looks great on horizontal and vertical devices as the latter can flip the screen in the blink of an eye and with a minor adjustment of your hand.

Would you like to subscribe to Amazon Prime health for a non-fatal diagnosis?"

It is a human condition to anthropomorphise animals and objects. I am guilty of it.

I feel regret when I have to restart my NAS after 2 years of up time. However, with machines the senility that sets in with time can be cured with a power cycle. After such an event my NAS will rise and be reborn.

My NAS is like Jesus, but, you know, real.

I'm in Europe and the problem of shooting down drones would never cross my mind.

Is seems that the advancement of technology may suffer in a country where firearms are prevalent.

It makes a great case for banning firearms. I know this will never happen so either drone-shooting won't be a problem or drone delivery will, you know, never take off.

Agreed, it's a non-issue. I only clicked as I misread the title as Toblerone.

Alternatively the vehicle logs an error when the camera is malfunctioning and that error can be used to show fault in the event of an accident. Coupled with a dashboard warning that remains visible for all critical safety functions (like with SRS) and that should do it.

Probably a lot easier to implement rather than some distress beacon that you propose.

It's interesting that when cellphones were used to speak to people or communicate by SMS, the trend was for ever smaller phones. Now that the screen is the key to usability, the larger the better whereas very small phones (the comically small phones that cost buttons from Chinese sites) are favoured for smuggling into prisons.

TL;DR The success of iPhone/Android is that you can't put it up your butt
