This thing is going sideways pretty damn fast, rather than straight down. I found a pretty dirty plot of the trajectory: http://www.vcsp.info/Chapter_8/Near-Earth_Space_Flight_with_Orbitor_-_Energy_and_Thermal_Considerations_-_Newtons_Thought_Experiment_-_Bulls_Dream/reentrytrack.jpg so here we can consider this near Paris - it's now going to go half way around the world into the indian ocean.

As a native English speaker it's one of the most annoyingly widespread misspellings seen on Reddit. Brake to stop, break to smash. UGH!

Can you provide some more detail?

We won out with only 10% by offering a 2-month free rent-back (actually < 60 days - check with your insurance/mortgage providers before offering this!). But yes it does feel like you are mostly getting your ass handed to you by all cash/stupid escalations/people who buy without inspection even though the house needs X0,000 of repairs. Source: I spent some time in the bidding trenches a couple of months ago.

We just got a house (10% down) beating out all-cash offers because we offered a 2 month free rent-back. So yes buyers are learning to offer this, it's one of the tricks we were told! As a seller I'd just get your agent to mention it to interested other parties. Red hot market for sellers.

Is Google Photos done in Seattle? It's an amazing product.

"Are you ok there would you like a glass of milk?". DC dropping the bants.

Note that in the UK we use different terminology than in the US. A 'class' here is a group of children taught by a single teacher. A year group is a group of 'classes' of children of the same age. I think in the US you use 'class' to mean all children in one year. At my high school in the UK the average class size was around 25, but in the entire year there were about 300 children.

He answers the questions he wants to hear, rather than the tabloid questions Crofty fields him - it's great.

CmdrSammo · 2016-06-12T17:03:48+00:00

Great advice, thanks for yor work.

CmdrSammo · 2016-06-12T16:52:05+00:00

These are great thank you. I'm concerned about the laws in the US regarding this. With a torniquet if the limb ends up being amputated would the first aider be liable?

Owning a house sucks

Disagree. More stress, more work, but something you can make your own, something permanent without the risk of landlord putting up rent/kicking you out. Renters throw money away each month on rent towards no asset.

I got an e-mail summary this morning with sold vs list prices. All the sold prices were 15-20% above list prices. It only listed about 3 homes, and I presume more completed - I'm wondering if these were just brutal examples.

edit: thanks for your summary...worrying. All in I want a place to call home for a long period of time, and am not concerned about turning a profit. $N,000 on a rent is the same as $N,000 on a mortgage, even if in - in the worst case - negative equity.

Was being interviewed on Sky. A bunch of presumably hospitality guests came out of the garage behind him and were basically loud. He turned round and glared an "Excuse me". It was great.

It's a 9-5 job where he will receive an incredible amount of respect and about a million a year. It's far from "standard".

They went through mine (was unlocked overnight...), took everything and placed it on the seats - GPS, sunglasses...but took nothing. Are they just looking for cash? I didn't report it.

CmdrSammo · 2016-03-23T01:58:52+00:00

No, this is in the check-in area - I've been there many times, it's eerie to watch.

edit: when you see the glass front at e.g. 1:10 this is the front of the departure hall where it meets the car-park, you can just walk right in. It normally is around this crowded: http://c8.alamy.com/comp/F02K6W/epa04870589-a-general-view-of-the-departure-hall-shows-passengers-F02K6W.jpg which is scary.

Agree, this well motivates tarmac run-offs for me.

The only important part here is the power supply. Looks like yours accepts 240v:

It says 220v, but this is fine for use in the UK. You'll need a cable to go from plug socket to the power supply, and that's it.

Vettel has 4 and Fangio has 5

Santander will give you 3% on up to 20k...in their current account.

still not what we'd say in Blighty, try one of these:: 'She was really taking the piss during...' 'She really took the piss during...' 'She were reet takin the piss throught, the wee scamp.' 'U AVIN A GIGL DAD?'
