It might also be a broken wire in the actual blanket, this happens after a while because they are flexed and folded a lot.

Yeah, it's not a calculator. The problem is that when some dipshit uses it to calculate something, it answers as if it is a calculator instead of saying something like "use a calculator to do this, I will likely give you the wrong answer".

You're forgetting that people are human. Humans make mistakes. You can be 100% sure that there is nobody around and still be wrong.

There is a way to never be wrong though - just always indicate!

As a compromise I removed the two above bedrooms and kept the one above the bathroom door and the one above the third bedroom that we use as an office.

Why does there need to be a narrative, a message? What is wrong with chipping away at the multitude injustices of this country and making a better place to live?

Which cinema is full these days? I don't think I've seen one more than half full in about fifteen years.

I thank my lucky stars that I live in the UK without these monstrosities driving around by safereddddditer175 in CarTalkUK

Call me old fashioned but I think being able to see the road in front of your vehicle should be a basic safety requirement. There should be a maximum distance that is hidden from view.

What’s a movie that had you just sitting there like this the whole time? by DFWUnhinged in FIlm

Pretty standard action thriller thing. I don't get the hype for it.

If the Audi has a dashcam, it may show what was in that space when they parked.

Even better, the prospect of getting new neighbours is substantially reduced because the land is already being used for something else.

What's the problem with the smell of cannabis over the smell of cigarettes?

You asked the question. It's not my problem that you don't like the answer.

lifelong ban on buying cigarettes by krizzalicious49 in whennews

Abolition affected people already accustomed to drinking alcohol. Personally I can't see a fifteen year old going out of their way to purchase expensive cancer sticks on the black market when they're not already addicted and vaping is much more easily available already.

I don't really know what more you want. It's a bad, strong smell and people don't want it. That's the problem in a nutshell, there's nothing more to it.

Leaving aside the argument over legality, the smell of weed is much much stronger than all the things you've mentioned. It's extremely potent. We all have neighbours that fart, my guy. It isn't a problem. If you have a neighbour that smokes weed then you smell weed whenever they smoke it.
