the fact we are inundated with information these days. I won't say ignorance is bliss, but it seems a lot of not very aware people( I'm being kind here) are generally happier. A farmer 100 years ago (like over 60 percent of the population back then), worried about family, crops, rain, animals and that's pretty much it. People also had time to be still... stillness is becoming a forgotten joy.

But death trained 8...

Exactly, right wing radio is profitable, always has been, can't say that about left wing radio, look what happened to Air America. The only left wing radio is NPR , and that's only because it was gov supported.

I use Spotify free in the gym only, ( need phone to swipe the door) otherwise I would just use my old Sansa Clip. My one grumble is that it adds songs to my playlist.... especially ones I don't like. Shit band comes on, swipe to skip... here's Spotify , " oh you skipped that song! Here's 3 more from that same artist!!

It wasn't just London, the whole of the U.K. got morning mail and then afternoon mail (usually @4pm) I know, Post and Mail are now separate, but that does not ease my ire. People are missing Dr's appts because the advance letter never arrives in time.
The whole debacle of Horizon, the branch managers and how long it took for the gov to recognise the problem is criminal. Now they've gone back and forth with IBM , will prolly go ahead but it will cost 3 times as much.

Your mother needs firing after the job she did last night!

10 billion spent and then scrapping it. How about this Royal Post, how about I get my mail every day, we used to get it TWICE a day not that long ago, now I'm lucky to get it twice a week.

Tested on frogs first :)

Does it even matter? The storage cost, site prep and danger of leaks for 300k year storage are far more than any energy recoup from processing.

At least in the 70's you got 24 or more episodes per year, quantity has a quality all of its own.

Until they get stolen, it IS the U.K. after all, happens all the time here.

This law is not about E assist bikes, it's about the full electric Sauron types with a throttle, they require no peddling , can hit 60mph with mild mods. Unfortunately, e assist bikes will fall into the this broad catagory. A legal e assist bike will be capped to 15 mph with peddling, but you can buy any number of Chinese full electric bikes off Amazon or eBay.

Solid state is officially cracked, Donut Labs is already making them for 600km range motor bikes. It will filter into cars once production gears up

You do realise that the eyes normal filling is gel like right? This is why people suffer detached retinas as they age, the gel becomes stiffer and rips the retina. If your eye is healthy, they can use saline to replace the gel fluid ( if you have massive floater problems), buts a risky operation.

Not only do they just tend to work, older peripherals tend to just work also.. old scanner.. no prob, old printer, no prob. Even when the OEM stopped making Windows drivers , it will usually work with Linux.
