So you're going to go back on the death (and injury) part now that it has been pointed out that the study you linked was only about the collisions. And itself points research that shows that there is a reduction in death (and injury).

Right?

1. if you drive at the speed limit you won't have a problem
2. the speed camera will be well signposted (car on the left so this is the UK) while it's not a legal requirement that they have signposts I've never come across a fixed camera that isn't
3. If you don't break the law you won't have a problem
4. the camera is painted bright yellow for visibility
5. once again for the those at the back who are hard of thinking: don't speed and you won't get fined
6. usually for first time offences if you're just a bit over the limit you'll get the option of a speed awareness course.
7. You've probably come to expect odd numbered points to tell you to not break the law by now, so I'll mix it up: if you get caught breaking the law and get a slap on the wrist, don't keep breaking the law.

I do agree though that the fining structure should be reformed, it should be a percentage of income with some provision in place so the super rich can't get out of paying their appropriate share too.

Road safety is bad mmkay

I think in vivo technologies (like CRISPR) will be the biggest game changer in medicine since antibiotics. The danger is that without robust socialised medical institutions these become cures that only the rich can afford.

That dog has amazing core strength lol.

Noises?

It brings new functionality and customization options for a Samsung phone. It's a really cool app.

4% is around the lizardman constant.

He says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

Sounds to me like someone so the passport office was just being an idiot and when their supervisor looked into it it was resolved.

Very strange. It doesn't work. I shared directly from the f-droid client droid-ify

Oh weird. That's shared from droid-ify which is an f-droid client.

I don't get it. If you're an immigrant who's already made it to the EU, why would you want to go to England in the first place?

As a Brit, that's better.

Jokes aside, here's a couple of reasons I can think off the top of my head.

1. English is really common for people to speak as a second language. More likely to be drawn to a country where they have some chance of being able to communicate.
2. they may have friends or family already here (maybe who've chosen the UK due to point 1). People are far more likely to go somewhere where they already know people.

No.

Not a boomer, but as a Brit - the grey squirrel is an invasive species which has pretty much driven out the native red squirrel from most of the country. They also cause damage to trees through bark stripping.

A book.

Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here.

$3,000,000,000,000 understatement.
