As opposed to what, the massive magnets and magnetic field in the turbines that these ships use to generate power, and have done for more than 50 years?

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
As a Brit who has moved overseas, this is extremely obvious when driving in other countries, including other ex-British Empire colony countries.
Its insanely easy to get a license down here in NZ, and it shows with the quality of driving on the road.
"Motorways rarely have hard shoulders".
Yeah, going to have to disagree with this - most motorways have hard shoulders, while the situation of no hard shoulder is much rarer and always called out by signage.
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.
Which didn't take into account all the services other countries buy from US companies.
All that software.
All that cloud.
All those apps.
All the financial services.
Conveniently left out of the equation.
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.
London is not representative of the rest of the UK.
We all wish it was.
You guys get orders of magnitude more investment than we do elsewhere in the UK.
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.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells down by the seashore.
