We get 4 or 5 a week on BT landline in this part of Britain. The majority are 'silent'. Unless you speak on answering, they hang up. If you speak, their system switches you to a live scammer. Only the 'Oven Cleaners' do semi-legit recorded roboclls.
Mandatory EU-wide coordination of DST will end. Countries can then choose whether they want it or not. The principle is called 'subsidiarity' and there's no reason why Leavers or Remainers should be offended.
Interesting hypothesis. Achievements on behalf of your tribe, or atonement for punishments inflicted by your Gods? Note that Stonehenge embankments are profiled to defend against the INSIDE - what did they fear would emerge from within?
Entirely agreed - but I still look for an evolutionary or psychological (male-only?) inspiration. Was it like a peacock's tail, some tribes could assertively afford 'display'? Or, some tribes imposed the slavery needed to do it? Or some guru claimed it was necessary for salvation? And did the women then have quieter, kinder, things, but shells, beads, leather, braids just did not survive?
Maybe an anthropologist can explain why 'moving stones' around was such a demonstration of faith for the ancients. Stonehenge, Carnac, later Pyramids, Moai, possibly the earliest demonstration of group 'engineering', but why? Or maybe these are their only achievements that haven't been erased by time.
Almost every ancient Pub in England now has mindless music, usually with yodelling foreign women lamenting their love-life incomprehensibly. Staff will sometimes turn it down, but are not authorised to turn it off because the management has paid for the mandatory licence. Props to 'Weatherspoons', which has a mind of its own and no music.
My 'professors' (at LSE we called them tutors) gave very sound advice. It was entirely my fault that I did not book enough tutorials, or take that advice when I did. We also got allocated 'big name' 'Professorial Tutors': mine was a splendid, serious (famous) guy who would have recommended me for a job, but I'd found one already. Hogwarts works, even around Aldwych.
Reddit? Something's going on. Since Christmas the site has been invaded by kitten-pix, and cutie-pets generally. Then for a few days lately there were repeats of (mostly fake-news) posts of Tianamen 'massacres', and Disneyfied Pooh images (guess why), because some PRC outfit was alleged to be investing. The latter all now expunged, and all back to kittens.
Pathetic: there've been miles at least since the Roman Empire. Who 'Anglo-Saxon' over age 30 knows what a Revolutionary 'kilometre' is? Mugs like you have lost the inches in your own dainty thumbs and the feet attached to your Lycra-enhanced legs.
Corporate-speak has to assuage moral-free faceless 'investment funds'. But as for 'capitalism'; do you prefer to buy from the lowest-cost supplier? Do you want your savings (or pensions) invested in the highest-yielding opportunities? Maybe it's the 'least worst' system,if abuses are controlled
This is simpler than most, and my go-to standard utility. Just OCR'd an entire book from photo images Irfanview-prepared, illustrations too. Would have taken longer just to remember what the buttons on the other giant programmes were supposed to do.
No kidding. We discovered 1/64 Ashkenasi DNA, we are proud of that, have traced their immigration and then 3 generations of integration. Britain was an acceptably diverse place, until the recent culturally-incompatible invasions
I've tested with all the major systems (genetic Nerd here) and the results are absolutely compatible ('export' to GEDmatch to compare detail). 23&Me seems to be choosing the 'health' speciality, Ancestry guards its proprietary earnings, FTDNA seems fully professional (and willingly re-tested/confirmed, when I had a query). My surname back to 1700s never matches, and we must accept that 10% of births are 'non-paternity events'. In the old days, that included informal adoption by maternal uncles when genetic parents had both died of the ususal smallpox or TB. Are we so generous now?
With a cast-iron CV like that (US: resume) how can he possibly be 'anti-BREXIT'? I worked for years around Brussels, and negotiated much, but I just knew when it was time to leave 'ever-closer-union' with the folks we'd defeated or saved twice in a century. Does he need educating? In which language? Can I help?
Those of us who read 'Hawking's Last Paper' before found it interesting, but with speculative conclusions. At the time, only the speculation was headlined, not the science.
Can someone who's read the detail confirm my understanding that whatever you do with two female mice, you can only get daughters? Have I got it wrong about Y-DNA?

Several old laptops here would benefit from much less Win10 bloat. Will they offer me the option on a build upgrade?

My first thought too. Can an expert explain how this could work, other than on a strictly local and seasonal level?
Oh wow, and so many ancient Courts in autocratic societies had 'Jesters' and 'Fools'. Whoever would have guessed it?

Plenty are getting parked-up, ready for the Haj.

No complaints from me on Win10 either.
Probably designed with integral rectification, not as the necessary tuned circuit.

Came here to say exactly that. Bet they won't listen.

Don't try it here. 'Holidays' are in summer, and presents come at Christmas.

And call back from a different 'phone. At least in the UK a scammer can hold the line open so that your next call comes to them too.
