I don’t see this as anywhere near the same thing though. These so called ‘donkey votes’ are derided, and categorised as together with voting errors and other invalid voting forms. …

Thanks I didn't know that. Potassium iodate mostly elsewhere and iodide in the US, stipulated by the FDA, which seems the right conservative decision. Now I’m amused by our bemusem…

As a person whose lived mostly in the UK and Australia, and now the US for six years, I still can’t eat many American versions of things I know. Ordinary things like Kit Kat’s or a…

Front visibility issues come up from time to time. Especially with children sometimes hidden from sight. https://www.wthr.com/mobile/article/news/investigations/13-i...

I’m curious about this and will ask my mother who picked it up from hers, and she from hers and so on. I’ve even used it myself as a kind of victorian throwback pleasantry. It’s a …

There are financial incentives to solve scheduling issues in the UK. Trains must meet a schedule within time limits. Failure to maintain reliability at a regulatory 90.9% can mean …

It’s a research field in the UK at least. For the UK’s extensive rail network. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/railway/index.aspx Edit: Further symposium on this subject. htt…

I have the same issue with freezing regularly. Using emacs aarch64 build and clang from llvm sources ( or OS X native clang, either one ) compiling in emacs window (Mx compile) and…

Yes I should have said zero to her at the various points of delivery. There’s a different method of accounting at play. Till recently a volunteer firefighter in an environment some…

My mother lives in country australia and had pancreatitis it seemed. Hospital, cat and mri’s, spent a week in hospital, sent home, returned after pain returned. More tests, it was …

I think I can shed some light on that. The borers then would deviate from a direct line if they encountered soft earth, like chalk. There’s a section on the Piccadilly line where i…

There have been high quality loudspeakers available since at least the 60's, and arguably since before then. For example the quad electrostatic from 1957 or there abouts, a selecti…

Well, thirty from notting hill to heathrow by mini cab for me. If you mean the actual city that would maybe 55. Not sure if you mean the city, say Liverpool Street, or west end som…

I'm a dual national UK/Australian resident in the US. If I were to find that I needed serious medical attention, I'd be on the plane back to either country as soon as I could. Out …

On the other hand, being afraid of all kinds of public ownership is not helpful. I'd bring national development banks into this. They proved themselves to be very efficient in the …

Well maybe but we always favour the right. It isn't really our right hand we are favouring but the others to our lefts right. In that lies the deferral. Standing still on the right…

Keeping to the right is a deferral that visitors to the UK can find confusing on occassion. Visitors can find it odd that while keeping to the left on roadways, the right is used w…

There would be for me if the price of SSD's come down enough. With my 2011 MBP and RME Babyface taxing the computer a bit too much with USB 2.0 context switching, my 120gig of samp…

Conditions in Victorian coal mines shocked victorian England, particularly when it was discovered that topless young girls co worked with naked men. My family in medieval times wer…

Film is 24/48 so 16/44.1 isn't what you'd call a studio master in general. A lot of music used in film originates from 44.1k CD's but then you have up sampling to add to the workfl…

This is one of the reasons we have seperate collection bags for recyclable materials in the UK for households. We don't have the benefit of landfill space, and it's economically mo…

Abbey Road have their very own outside view too, allowing the curious from wherever they may be, to watch pilgrims to that crossing. http://www.abbeyroad.com/Crossing

I don't and won't forget that event. It was part of a tendency to hysteria that prevailed at the time. I read the report on it, and there were many flaws in organisation, communica…

>I'd really like to hear from a European counterpart how they think this scenario would have gone down across the pond. Not like this, I am sure. I've been pulled over twice in the…
