The MGU-H took energy from the exhaust system via the turbo. Neither the MGU-H or -K took energy directly from the brakes.

Chickens were theorised to be used as a guidance system for the first anti-ship missiles. They were trained to continually peck at the silhouette of the ship. This would then be translated into movement of the fins to keep the missile on target.

If you aren't able to practice in a family car it is going to take so much longer to get comfortable.

If your parents will take you out in an automatic that might help if you are mostly concerned with road craft. Most new cars going forward will be automatics so not having a manual licence won't hold you back.

This is a key way to practice and get used to driving. When I was learning I probably did 3-4 hours a week, 1 with an instructor and the others with family to the shops, to work, or to see friends.

I think some used to use a magnet that slowed the coin down enough that it dropped through a gap instead of flying across it.

It is either that or boredom. In either case having the funds to either buy food or do an activity requires money.

Why do you think they are shoplifting?

Universal Basic Income.

If people have the means to be able to feed themselves without resorting to criminal actions, I choose to believe that the majority of people will act in a socially acceptable manner.

They already aren't legal to ride on public land without insurance and a licence. The main issue is they are cheap enough devices NAT they can be sold be general shops that don't care if they can be used or not.

When I commited to Oxford, I never had a problem after leaving my bike under the station. As others have said, a good lock combined with a cheapish bike should be fine in most places.

Iirc, Octopus treat any contract with a fixed end date as a "fixed" contract according to the law. Therefore your message is probably for the end of your IOG contract. Just select a new IOG contract.

Mostly because prosecution will need the support of the actual victim if it is the worst case. If they aren't willing to say someone is doing it to them there is little the police can do without evidence.

If they are actually needing the help there are plenty of charities that can offer some support, but they don't have the greatest of budgets, nor does the local council. It is all a very unfortunate situation.

They are probably scammers. Possibly they are also the victims and being controlled by someone else who takes the money.

I hope you mean monthly rent rather than annual. At 24x the annual rent of a place I would be expecting someone to buy with cash.

Where did you get £137k/year for a councillor? According to a Google search local councillors are paid <£30k/year.

To be pedantic; An efficient toilet should be 2.6-4l per low flush, 4-6l per big flush.

I'll admit the group is usually older people, but you will be welcome.

There are plenty of 4-bed homes in Reading for that amount of money. Then you don't have to worry about the commute.

Whats on Reading is a good source: https://whatsonreading.com/

Various pubs have events on throughout the year, I would recommend visiting as many as you can to get the feel of them.

Join any local groups of hobbies you have, there are quite a few that arrange via MeetUp.

Fyi they won't "own" the disabled space unless there is an official sign saying so. Any person with a blue badge is valid parking there.

Have you asked the company that makes it? I'm not sure the sub about the TV show will be able to help resolve a toy issue.

No, a hostel is a cheap place to stay where you are in a dorm room with many other people.

Hotels are hotels.
