The map doesn't break down countries, and they're all part of the UK. And there are areas of the UK that often have drought conditions, although no evidence of that exists this summer!
The explicit violence just doesn't seem necessary. It detracts from the story more than anything - what's the point of it? Are the producer simply just trying to shock people? They could just cut the content by 75% and focus on the character development and the plots (i.e. The story), and they would have a way better show.
Ahh killfiles and the good old *plonk*. Like drivers who honk their horns once they're past their frustration and know they can escape the consequences. Not a personality trait I've ever admired:)
Sorry, but that's just not true. Back in about '98, one of my older colleagues (younger than I am now!) complained that he'd had enough of/. due to the dumb comments and flaming. I think the stories with thousands of comments were probably the ones written by Jon Katz.
Yup I have a MBP at home from Feb 2008. The biggest problem with it is the lack of memory (max spec'ed is 4GB, you can get it to work with 6GB but I normally have 8-9 and allocated and I'm fed up with the speed.). My work MBP's have had 16GB for years and I frequently have more than 20GB allocated - it's hard to imagine a new MBP lasting so long. I can't help feeling that there's a pretty bad memory leak in OS X considering I've observed multiple machines low on memory with no apps running once I get to about a month after the last reboot.
I find sometimes that I have to take a break and let my mind freewheel a bit. I suppose getting up and stretching my legs might be better for my health than staring at the wall or faffing on/. There are people who spend time playing around rather than working, but I suppose their work shows it or they've got a shit manager.
Considering that you can support bidirectional bike traffic in less space than a single lane for motor vehicles
This is precisely why I dislike the bike lanes in a London. I'll wait and see how these new cross London routes pan out, but I suppose I'll stick with the roads.
The lanes as you describe it are not wide enough. You can't overtake and believe me there are a lot of very slow cyclists in London, and I'm not even referring to the amateurs and tourists wobbling around on Boris bikes.
Do toilets at the Moscow airports count as an official smoking room? The thick fog of smoke makes it disgusting going for a slash every time I've transited through Moscow.
Uber doesn't seem to be offering something to people who need a guaranteed pick-up at 5am to get to the airport/railway station. I only see these getting more expensive if U/L continue as they are.
Some of my family members tried that on me once. The trouble was, having been uncomfortable previously not knowing the meaning of the words, I'd already memorised a bunch of them. They then tried to change the rules again that the words had to come from a tiny dictionary! The compromise was for me to write down the list and allow them to refer to it.
Even the SOWPOD list of 2 letter words isn't too long and thus the meanings are easy enough to learn. I like it more than the restricted American vocabulary of the TWL list because it gives one much more freedom of play.
Perhaps you don't know very many people in the UK? David Cameron's coalition partners in the last government were considerably more socialist than David Cameron's own right wing party, yet they were the ones putting the brakes on this kind of State overreach and they were the ones try to protect the privacy of the people. You've clearly got some misplaced biases against socialism and considerable ignorance about the UK.
Also, stop and think about the suggestion of assigning a caseworker to every child... does that sound like something the UK could afford, and if they did do it, just what kind things would they be able to achieve given the current budget conditions? Sounds like a nonsense to me.
The value of gold, silver and bitcoins is irrelevant if there are capital controls that only allow you to with â60/day - how are you going to buy them? If you could get all you hands on your money...
Sounds like you're not having to deal with 40+ networks visible at one time, often with multiple access points for each network. The impact of high density living and working in London.
How do monitor, check for and track down the interference? I've had problems in the past and would love to know how to resolve this (residential and small office)
The way this works with British Telecom is that you have multiple SIDs on your router. There's one you connect to that you have control over, and there are also additional SIDs like "BTWifi-with-FON" and "BTWifi-X" with separate IP address and logging that you have no control over. I think that BT internet customers have a free access to these all over the country and if they opt-out of this they can then get it disabled on their own home router. This way BT claims they literally have millions of WIFI access points all over the country, yet the experience is terrible if actually the network is on residential ADSL (upstream capped to 448kb/s for instance).
Incidentally I've wondered whether you could just replace their ADSL or VDSL (FTTC) router with something of your own without these additional access points and still been able to access their national network of access points for free.
Isn't rental income taxable, which is presumably why those other things are deductible? Same elsewhere although people to whinge about.
I live in London, and I can tell you that it can get much worse. I suspect it's more about the overseas investors than anything else, who buy knowing that the prices will go up and the returns are good enough that they don't even bother renting them out. Councils around here are reacting by considering laws that will allow them to forcibly use all the empty homes to help ease the housing issue, or by introducing special taxes for non-domiciled owners.
I really hate property tax, it's so offensive. For instance if you live in an area that gentrifies, why should you have to sell your home because suddenly you're paying more tax? Maggie Thatcher got rid of this in the 80s and replaced it with a council tax that everybody pays, irrespective of whether you're a renter or owner. Her first attempts at this caused riots in Scotland, but hey! I think ultimately it's fairer in a "we all pay the same" kind of way, but I suspect that 1) it hits poorer people harder than property taxes did, and 2) it removes a brake that constrained house price inflation.
They fill the gap with immigration. The current UK government has to make noises about curbing immigration for the poor people, but the home owners don't really want this to happen...
They start sub-dividing existing properties and turning them in to multiple flats. West London for instance near where I live has street after street of what would appear to be terraced town houses. Grand old buildings that were once individual homes or a home with an apartment underneath for the servants. Now? Six flats at least in each, and each flat selling for more than £400,000. Have a look online for the terms "freehold" and "leasehold", and then you'll know a whole new level home ownership legal issues.
The whole healthcare thing doesn't exactly help does it? Talk about a powerful tool for trapping people in work. I don't know if it's still true but a few years ago I heard that Americans were one illness away from bankruptcy. Even though I lived in the US in my early 20s when I was mostly healthy, I felt a weight come off my shoulders when I moved north of the border to Canada. The bills I saw when I broke my arm in the US were outrageous to me as a Briton, especially considering the quality of service I got in the hospital.
They get paid for their hours in China though. Our software engineers in Shanghai always asked for permission to work overtime before doing it. Could you imagine the cultural shift in the US if Americans did the same compared with the current situation where there's no hard boundary?

Interesting... it's labelled incorrectly as "2160p" on Keepvid, but it does appear to be 7680x4320.
