Due to them being replaced with electric cars which don't need gears.

That is "googol". "google" didn't exist before Larry Page and Sergey Brin started their search engine.

A search on the UK's Intellectual Property Office trademark database shows 714 registrations of the word "flow" between 1st January 2020 and 9th February 2026, but those are for specific logo designs, not the word "flow".

China has plenty of thorium, it is a by-product of their rare earths production, so it is probably almost cheaper for them to use it for electricity production than to dispose of it.

If you are looking for pizza, do you go to pizza.com, or do you open your favourite food delivery app and tap "Pizza" on the screen?

Or to take another example, people might think of going to dominos.com for pizza, but probably not for actual dominos.

Surely people looking for "AI" are going to go to chatgpt.com before they think about ai.com, because ChatGPT has established itself as one of the leading brands in that sector.

More likely of course, you are going to type "pizza", or "dominos", or "chatgpt" into your browser's search bar, and let Google point you to the right place.

For those, like me, who are predicting The Meltdown, this is not it, it is just a bull trap.
Previously it was overvalued by 100%, it is still overvalued by 100%.

Or, you could buy a battery bank, which would be a lot cheaper, and because it is a lot more efficient, you get to sell a lot more of the electricity you capture at the later date when it is wanted.

50% efficiency to convert electricity to methanol, vs about 90% to charge a battery. A combustion engine has an efficiency of about 33%, vs 90% for an electric motor. A battery is also far cheaper than this thing.

"people pay fines all the damn time without involving the courts"
Presumably by pleading guilty on the summons? But if they have the right to plead not guilty and have their day in court, then there's no problem with that.

Cards with lower interest rates will generally have lower or no rewards. If you are someone who always pays off the balance in full, that is not the card you want to pick. You want to pick the one with the best rewards regardless of interest rate.

If I'm outside of the UK, I usually use a debit card for that, because I can have one in the currency of the country I'm visiting and it usually works out cheaper than foreign transaction fees on a credit card. That generally works just fine.

Yes, because with that level of cross-border complexity, nothing else is going to work.
Sales tax / VAT for example. That will be a number of exports from their sales and stock movements system in csv format that get converted into formats that can be used with tax software in all the countries the operate in.

High speed rail in other parts of the world travels at about 200mph.

The Great Western Railway running between London (England) and Swansea (Wales) managed it in the 1830s.

You definitely bore through mountains, like for example the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland.
