The human body can stand very fast speeds, but it can’t cope with acceleration. To reach high speed you have to accelerate HARD. Otherwise it’s weeks and months just to get moving quickly. And don’t get me started on slowing down when you get there…
I used to have a 20 mile commute four times a day on dead flat roads. I bought a super-efficient car (skoda fabia greenline} and played with the speeds and gears to my hearts content to find the scientifically most efficient speed to use the least fuel. The result was that the slowest speed the car could maintain in the highest gear was most efficient. That was 30mph in 5th. I would usually average over 100 miles per gallon of diesel. Spent a lot more time in the car than i would have at 60mph, but audiobooks are great. This doesn’t add much to the discussion here. 60mph is much better than 70mph, and i’ve driven in wales with the 20mph limit in all urban areas and it doesn’t seem to cause any problems - i’m totally in favour.
Ive always thought the best way to escape would be to tap the brakes suddenly so the police car slams into the back of the car its chasing just hard enough to damage its radiator. The police car would overheat within a short distance. Would that work?
I refused to carry the plastic cards for years, but google wallet allows you to add the barcode/qr code from a friend/stranger/family’s card or phone screen, for any shop. You then get the instant discount at the checkout but won’t accumulate the later ‘points’- but your accomplice will! There are webpages online containing the barcodes if you are really privacy-conscious. I have b&q, sainsburys, morrisons, tesco and co-op stored this wsy. Some shops are introducing apps too - still a line i won’t cross yet.
I’m sure the headline should say “once sold out, they’ll only be available on the second-hand market”. Not gone forever though.
Me too. You gotta get a free VPN - windscribe and proton are candidates, no card details required.
In monopoly, each player is given 1,500 money units before the game starts. Imagine one player starts with everyone’s 1500 added together and given to them, and all the other players start which nothing. Now you have the real world!
If you get stuck, ask for help. Explain what your thinking is, and how you plan to tackle things, and explain what help you need to solve your issue. If you get the job, your employer can work with you if they know you’ll ask for assistance when you need it - they expect to provide training or helpful oversight to any new starter. In the interview test, they are checking your basic knowledge, and also whether you are teachable.
So if I want one lettuce which only has a short shelf life, but there is a buy one get one free deal, I’d be stupid not to pick up two. Because I can only eat one lettuce before it goes bad, the second lettuce will be binned before its even started. All buy one get one free deals should be banned - if you want us to buy more of a product, halve the price!
This happened because your visa claim should have been ‘stolen card details/fraud’ but it was put through as ‘food not delivered’ instead. Either your card issuer didn’t understand what was needed, or else it was poorly described to them. And you can’t claim twice on the same transaction.
Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar’s worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100’s of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it’d be a heck of a vanity project.
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.
An interesting read, but by gosh it’s a depressing one.
Banks are experts at providing loans. Car dealerships should be expert at selling cars. Asking the car dealer to be a bank is like trying to buy a telescope from a hat shop.
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.
Mappy mcmapface ?
Why don’t all food service places have you pay when you order? It works like that in the uk in more than half of places and the establishment can’t suffer any loss.
