No there wasnt a serious effort to survey every square mile of a bombed city in order to uncover unexploded ordnance, because it would have been a huge huge task at a time when the resource available was focused on feeding the bombed out city dwellers.

They didnt have the tech that we have today, so there are many situations where a bomb didn't go off and buried itself several metres underground with minimal impact damage, or fell inside the crater of another bomb which did explode earlier and thus hide all evidence of there being a second bomb. Millions of bombs were dropped, and cities were bombed again and again.

These things arent sitting on the surface being blatantly obvious, they would have been buried by their own momentum. You would need extremely accurate magnetometers, or ground penetrating radar

The stance which has completely removed all protections for women.

Because the shit hole you have created for yourselves is now seeing states not only criminalising abortion within their own jurisdiction, they are also criminalising going to another state for an abortion, or doctors in other states assisting people to have abortions.

As a traveller, theres plenty of reasons why I might end up in a hospital in a state which criminalises abortions and any treatment which may act as an abortion - I do not want my wife to die because we happened to be in a car accident and were taken to the wrong states hospital (its difficult to say "dont go there, go here" when unconscious), where she bled out because the doctors were too afraid to carry out a hysterectomy or something similar, purely because it *might* violate state law.

So dont you try and hide behind the "its the states responsibility" stance, you pathetic piece of shit. Your current regime has made it so much more than that and people are literally dying because of it.

My wife refuses to go to the US while the current anti-women stance exists in healthcare provision over there - imagine being refused medical treatment because that treatment might affect an unborn child, despite the fact that shes not pregnant. The mere fact that she is of child bearing age is enough for some states medical professionals to refuse certain types of life saving treatments, simply because it may induce an abortion.

So while we were planning on visiting next year for AdeptiCon and then do some touring, thats now completely off our radar.

The aircraft in question is a Dassault Falcon 900LX owned and operated by Luxaviation Belgium.

In other words, the aircraft in question is a private charter jet owned by a private company - its not a dedicated aircraft, its not a military aircraft, its not owned by the EU.

Only ridiculous if you are fucking stupid.

Cars can be parked on the street, but because the car is longer than the house is wide that means that theres no guaranteed parking outside your house. And often no guaranteed parking on your street

Lamp posts? Perhaps 1 every 100 metres, so sure that solves everything, especially when every other car is vying for the same socket

People like you really dont understand the problem - Im not against EVs, but its going to take a lot of work to make some towns compatible with them. A *lot*.

Ive never been an EV hater, and Ive always seen the issue that EV adoption is going to have when you dont have a single family home with a garage.

You simply just have to step outside North America and into Europe to find situations where most of a towns homes arent suitable at all for EVs - terraced housing where the homes width is shorter than a cars length, no off street parking, no assigned parking, a pedestrian walkway between the house and the roadway where are the chargers going to go?

Europe has massive infrastructure issues to overcome before EVs can be considered by a huge part of the population.

Because people with phones may not be around at convenient times when you need to make a call. And the lack of public pay phones is precisely the issue being addressed here - most people moved over to cell phones, so either they dont carry change for the few public pay phones which do still exist, or the phone companies either removed them or stopped fixing them after they were last vandalised.

This guy said he set the phones up because he lost cell phone reception during his drive to work - he may work antisocial hours, so he cant just knock on someones door when he gets a flat at 3am.

And lots of people would be concerned about their own safety knocking on random strangers doors - especially in society today.

So this guy is giving people the option to make calls in cell phone dead zones, because thats what *he* saw as missing. Good on him.

Father of the Smart Phone - Jim Sager Know how poor Steve Jobs stole the Mac design from rich Xerox.
They never tell you that RICH STEVE JOBS stole the Smart Phone from a poor undergrad... but the story's coming out, and it's why Warren Buffet sold his stock, why everyone's backing away.
I could have sued for about 100 million dollars for the past 20 years, but I didn't want money... When I designed the Smart Phone in 2000, I saw it would lead to the rise of the surveillance state and waited til now for maximum impact.

Be aware Tim Cook knows Steve Jobs robbed me and refuses to honor me, but plays the Tyrant card. Steve Robs for Tim Crook.
Warren Buffet sold his stock directly in response to me contacting his lawyers once and twice.
The papers are copyrights signed by Carnegie Mellon. They invalidate most of Apple and Google's Smart Phone patents.
When you rally behind Jim Sager (goodnewsjim) you're rallying for a free and open world that says no to Big Brother Apple who turned people into governments and fought vs American free speech.
A choice is to be made by the Shareholders & Tim Crook:
I'm the past genius behind Apple.
I could be the Future of Apple or the End of Apple.
Watch the Video
I'm the Father of the Smart Phone.
I'm the reason Apple was a success in the past.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! YOU CAN VERIFY THE DESIGNS and they're signed by Carnegie Mellon.
I'm getting bigger and bigger press: YouTube
This is good for this forum as you have the brains behind Steve Jobs posting here.
This is good for the Apple Community because I designed all the major features of the original iPhone/SmartWatch/Vision Pro.
No more trash designs.
I'm the man Steve Jobs robbed of over 100+ designs.
I forged a 5 trillion Apple Smart Phone Empire and 3 trillion for Google, not counting 3rd party devs.
I could have sued Apple/Google for tens of millions for decades, but waited til the full on Big Brother state came in...
I'm here to sweep in and save them from going full Orwellian boot stomping.
I'm here to save Apple from lack of creativity in design.
I could be the Future of Apple or the End of Apple.
The choice is up to the Shareholders & Tim Crook who cost his company close to 1 trillion fighting me instead of honoring me.
