"Seems to me that the officer tried to let everyone assume the video was what happened in real time but when actually cornered and asked about it he was honest about the re-enactment."
Even though he came clean when pressed, that is an attempt to pervert the course of justice and to mislead the court. Try doing that as a civilian and see how quickly you get contempt issued against you.
Nice that he gave that speech in a country where only 16% of the population would understand him. There's the EU inclusivity he trumpets when bashing UK for wanting to leave.
I have used French in the past to talk to Dutch people who didn't know English. Why French? Because I don't know German.
Then they can use something else. I'm sure they've all got other social media accounts, and that they are on them right now spamming with messages about WhatsApp being down. My nose bleeds in sympathy for them.
And the A in BASIC stands for "All-Purpose". As in, everything. Therefore no other language is necessary, yet here we are.
But now we have a new paradigm! A shame those who coined it lacked the linguistic skills to rearrange the terms so you could refer to it as CREPE. If they can't come up with an acronym, I don't hold out much hope for anything more advanced.
Nope. My name is not obfuscated, making me the owner, but my address is and says so on every line. As that results in an invalid address, it cannot be used as proof of any ownership other than mine.
That's called WHOIS privacy. Shitty registrars charge you through the nose for it. Unreasonable ones charge you once. Good ones don't charge you at all. Excellent ones have it set on as a default. I'm with the latter.
I've allowed those who are in range (effectively no one due to the thickness of walls) side access through my BT router for years. Far from it being "subverted", it was a conscious choice on my part; sign up for BT FON, use wireless hotspots around the globe for free. As I live in a residential area, the likelihood of someone parked by my house hoping for an open hotspot is remote, plus I'm not such a bandwidth hog that my connection is saturated 24/7. In any case, the guest network gets what's left over. Thus it was an easy decision to make.
I don't see the point of the Virgin Media version. It has the same limitations but no benefit to the customer.
Plus, to add insult to injury, they branded him a "disruptive" passenger after the fact to justify it. Until a computer decreed he should be removed and he refused (with good reason), he could not be described as such.
I saw that story, and had to look up when "South Sea Adventure" by Willard Price, a book I read in my childhood, was written. It specifically mentioned CoTs as being a problem for coral reefs (but didn't go into specifics of why the population was increasing so much. It was a children's book, after all.)
This book was written in 1952. For this to be in a children's book it had to have been pretty well known for years beforehand. El Niño effects have been known for a lot less time.
Another contributing factor is the nutrient rich runoff from fertilised fields. This feeds phytoplankton. These are the primary diet of Crown of Thorns starfish larvae so more survive to adulthood. Then they switch diet and eat coral. Nothing eats them.
I was referring to the UK, being British and having paid attention to the Highway Code in order to pass my driving test.
Someone you can't see lurches out from behind a parked high sided van 10 feet away from you when you are driving along the road at 15mph, well before the limit, you hit them because there is no way you can avoid them and it's still your fault? Fuck off with that bollocks.
Actually, the ruling is if there is a pedestrian or cyclist (or any legal user of the highway, so moped, ridden horse etc are included) *already* on the road, then they have right of way.
Those not on the road *do not* have right of way over those who are. You can't just walk out into traffic.
However, if a pedestrian is at a designated crossing point such as a zebra crossing those on the road are to stop *if safe to do so*. That still doesn't mean a pedestrian can blithely cross without first looking at that point, though many do.
Initially, the driver will be considered at fault in law if they run someone over but that is not absolute and binding. For instance, if their view of the oblivious pedestrian was obscured by a parked vehicle or they simply couldn't stop in time whilst otherwise driving safely, they are not at fault, though they will still be blamed.
Yeah but B-52s can bomb "hospitals". It's much more important to be able to kill civilians in a foreign country than grow plants in zero gravity. Those are results that win votes.
I'll bet he didn't prepay the Congestion Charge when he decided to drive into central London, leaving his family on the hook for it. That's just rude. Pollution has a cost, you know.

It's just another weapon in the arsenal of the Mexican Staring Frog of southern Sri Lanka. The thing is more deadly than we thought...

As I said, thick walls. My house isn't the map as the signal doesn't even reach the road.

Sleep machines were also used by the Judges of Mega City One (and others) so they could get back out on the streets and deal with perps.

Even better, if the clause cannot be declared null and void, then the *entire contract* is.
