We do still have leaded petrol. All piston engined aircraft are still burning fuel with added lead.

In your car crash analogy, we are now past the point where hitting the brakes will help. The car will be irrepairably destroyed and all passengers will be killed.

No, but thanks for the offer.

If it has to be shouted at you, its not news, its propaganda. But she was brave in a tight spot, for sure.

You've come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.

The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

If you are polite to a potential scammer on the phone or on the internet, you are giving them a chance to persuade you into being scammed. Block at will.

I'm in the UK and youtube blocked it for me too. I used windscribe a free VPN to pretend I was in the US and it showed fine.

Swearing is brilliant if you smash your thumb with a hammer, or break something expensive. If you swear all the time in normal conversation you don't have any special words left to use when those things I mentioned happen.

Its rumoured that in the Falklands war (early 80's) after a UK ship was hit by a French-made Exocet missile fired by Argentina, UK diplomats massively pressurised their ally, France, to provide the required codes which could be radioed to future in-flight exocets. further french-made armaments would not be able to hit the UK forces.

Just change your number to something like 07777777777. That will work for the UK.

Every extra oil well widens the availability of the product, that's bad. Please stop drilling.

I work for a UK bank, and we automatically provide your replacement card details to all subscriptions, for example Netflix, Spotify, adobe, amazon prime, gym and many many others etc. The reason for that is that if you lost your card or it expired, you would otherwise have to spend ages updating the card numbers with all your providers. We call the subscriptions 'recurring visa' and if you ask your bank to place a recurring visa block, it's quick and easy and we won't let your named merchant take further funds. No need for a new card. However, if you are in a contract and you deny the company access to your bank card, they may demand that you pay for the rest of the contract still. They won't be able to get the money from the bank tho.

I don't think it's possible to quit smoking twice. The first time, there was just a longer gap between cigarettes.

Catenary is the magic word here

if the device switches off while in use on charge, that's too slow. if the device switches off whilst charging because it overheats, that's too fast. in between, forget it, the electronics will handle everything, and yes slower charging is better for battery life but you needn't obsess over the difference, it's there but unquantifi able. if you've heard anything other than this advice and you believe what you've heard, there's not much point in people here trying to guide you.

Ah, but which brand of washing machine, that's what we're all about here in this thread!

if you are paying for any streaming service that has advert breaks, you are the reason there are commercials. imagine if subscribers walked away when they were introduced!

check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there's a blockage somewhere.

i read the list of injuries and wondered how many of the victims were wearing seatbelts !
