Carrier grade NAT. For instance, on our local mobile phone network, thousands of handsets will have the same public IP address.

You can get soft silicone ear pickers with a built in camera now so you can see what you're scooping.

Cthuhlu. Why go for a lesser evil?

How old is "older?"

I run the latest Debian on a 10 year old Macbook Pro. Linux has given this laptop a second life as a lab machine - it's still plenty fast enough and it has a really nice screen (Retina) which Debian gets right out of the box with no tweaking. The only thing I needed to do when installing Debian is manually get the drivers for the WiFi hardware during the install (although Debian has the non-free firmware by default these days, they aren't permitted to distribute all firmware and the WiFi hardware in this machine unfortunately happened to be one of those).

Probably a clusterfuck.

That cyclist is going to have very soggy feet. Better to have mudflaps that go down within a couple of inches of the road on the front mudguard, you have much drier feet that way :-)

Sigh. Yet another thing that must be sacrificed on the altar of the almighty motor car.

The OP is clearly using hyperbole. But only 1% of the welfare bill goes on unemployment benefits, so even if absolutely everyone on unemployment benefits is cheating and you cut them off, you don't save much. In reality the majority of people on unemployment benefits are not cheating the system - a system that already sanctions the unemployed for not actively seeking work.

Never. We had a work lunch and one of the guys a few days later said "I just tested positive for covid, better test". About 2 days later I was testing positive, but none of us in the household ever had any symptoms other than testing positive (about 4 days in, the LFT was going bright red as soon as the liquid reached the test line). None of us ever had so much as a sniffle. The guy we got it off was really rough for a few days.

Not only that, but they will make an ungodly racket while doing so. Multi propellers all turning at a slightly different RPM, with all the annoying beat frequencies this will create. They will also likely be almost as expensive as helicopters (only a very small amount of a helicopter's cost is its fuel, the overwhelming majority is maintenance and insurance).

They both do significant business in the UK. To continue doing business in the UK, they must abide with UK competition laws.

A road rage conviction should result in a lifetime ban or until a medical professional can certify that the person is mentally fit to drive.
