It's a huge market but how much they will be able to tap into it remains to be seen.

Maybe, but 15 years ago "just google it" would have sounded strange too.

The word is cheapskate not cheapstake.

They have the 40 minutes rule for reasons of efficiency, the policy is clearly stated so I don't see why you were upset - you should arrive earlier. As for the fog, not much Ryanai…

So this straw man driver swerves for unexpected road markings but not for unexpected cyclists? Not only is he drowsy but insane too?

Standing charge in the UK? Not sure where you get that idea - treatment with the National Health Service is free.

Why the hysteria? This is a useful tool in detecting and preventing serious crimes in the modern world. I think it's a good thing.

You can get a decent knife for $10 and I've honestly never had a knife put me in a fowl[sic] mood.

"This usually leads me down a path of questions that result in me having to teach myself something to build something to solve a particular problem which fulfills a need." - but be…

Which makes more sense: owning one quality $100 knife for 30+ years, or going through 10 $20 knives over the course of 30 years? It depends. The $100 knife could become lost, stole…

The difference is that you have specified that the child picked up from the police station is a girl, thus only the sex of the other child is unknown. This other child is either a …

"Both of my kids are driving me crazy! Just yesterday I had to pick one of them up from the police station--I grounded her for a month!" - given just the information in your quote,…

His point is that a person telling you they have one girl would be accepted as referring to a particular child. Thus, BG and GB merge and the odds are 50% of a boy and a girl.

"To the contrary, the warning labels backfired: they stimulated the nucleus accumbens, sometimes called the 'craving spot,' which lights up on f.M.R.I. whenever a person craves som…

Lampard and Gerrard paid £10,000 a week? They wouldn't get out of bed for that, closer to £150,000.
