That seems like quite the leap and will more than likely result in you being escorted off the plane when you reach your destination. It may well be an inconvenience to you if someo…

> It’s different when there’s a compelling physical need here. If the person in front of me has a hurt back and can’t bear sitting upright, and I knew about it, I’d put up with it …

If I have the option to recline my seat, and doing so is going to make me more comfortable, that’s what I’m going to do. I can live with the person behind me thinking I’m an asshol…

Most of the trains north between Preston and Glasgow were being cancelled that day due to the weather. Perhaps knowing they only had one more attempt at landing safely left, Manche…

How so? They inform the reader not to misinterpret the information as advice specific to their situation.

> - The real criminals are people from Spain, speculative funds and tourists from all over the world buying property here and not using it. They steal to everybody. So create a tax…

I live in a country of people with diverse views. I feel it's ignorant to assume that I'm speaking on behalf of the majority of my fellow citizens. Quoted from the article: > Publi…

I'm merely pointing out that you're assuming ignorance simply because I have a different opinion to you. Having lived there myself, I'd like to think I have something of an underst…

> You people are literally making up things about a country that you don't know about. I’m not from the US. I spent 2 years living in Spain. Are you claiming that the average Spani…

I have family who let out property in Spain. They, along with other people in a similar position to them, have all suddenly become experts in smart home tech. They have video doorb…

By that logic, Theranos wasn't a scam either. The hardware existed and it delivered a result. It didn't do what was claimed however and the results were routinely faked. It was cla…

Their data was exposed by breaching a third party service. I'm not sure how investing more in security could have helped prevent this. You could argue that they shouldn't be housin…
