While our construction costs are indeed ridiculous, this number is incorrect. It hard to decipher which £1.2bn figure you are actually talking about - but none of them are for just…

Stunning! I'm not a driver, so it won't be easy to organise - but it is on my list of places to see before I die.

At least in Germany public transport reaches into very deep countryside and it is used widely everywhere. This is certainly not about just supporting urban transportation.

I can partially understand this, as my family is from ex-USSR country (also went through repressions on one side) and we all shudder at the mentions of 'socialism' and 'communism' …

I love searching for very American-looking fire hydrants or pedestrian crossings. Great case of US cultural imperialism - I suspect that the developers didn't even think it might n…

TV+ is a special case, because the trial period (1 year) is longer than the non-trial payment cycle (1 month). Apple Music pop-ups are annoying, but I only saw them after some iOS …

You are holding it wrong TM. But seriously, I realised that I need to hold it in a way that is different from all other mice I ever used.

Worst mouse I ever tried. But at least they learned for it and current Magic Mouse is a delight to use (on macOS).

Well, the difference is that German manual tends to work in the end. Certainly worked for Coronavirus (so far).

An actual blur that directly modifies multiple pixel values cannot be reversed. Things like swirls and motion "blurs" potentially can be - but I wouldn't even call those blurs as t…

This is gross generalisation - I know many workers who are hired on H-1B who are getting same (good) pay and conditions as locals. Cut off the abuse, don't shut down everything for…

My copy of Charles on iOS disagrees.

Thank you!

Provided that next election is still happening.

The real issue here is not Caucasian skin tones vs everyone else but instead light skin tones vs dark(er) skin tones. So Chinese government won't have an issue with current facial …

No. What I’m trying to say is that any comment on a public forum does not exist in a vacuum and acquires additional properties based on where and when it is posted.

The analysis might not be false - but it sure is dismissive. Dismissiveness that jars with the stated dislike of 'pretension' and that makes the poster sound pretentious themselves…

Yes, EU is the cause of all British ills... Or perhaps it was the usual incompetent planning of the owners of TSB - banks splitting up is not a new or impossible thing, you know. A…

Paranoid scaremongering.

Your description of European trains is rather pessimistic and negative. UK train network is not perfect, but generally is in a decent state of repair. It does receive large amount …

We migrated from the age of IE shells (2000s) to the age of Blink shells...

It would if he's actually extradited to US.

Your example might be seen as an advertiser trying to capture a nascent market (which it actually seems to be).

You forget that we don't have a colonial empire anymore.

Investors already voted against pound (look at the exchange rate). Brexit shown them that U.K. is no longer predictable and stable. And since after Brexit it will be equally expens…
