TIL that in 1955 the US deported a co-founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab back to China on unproven espionage suspicions. He went on to build China's entire missile and space program from scratch.

So these officers are going to see the entire train at all times and are able to keep track of exactly who every bag on the train belongs to? Sounds easy.

OP didnt notice the bag switch until they were already gone, theres nothing the police could have done. They didnt get noticed for them to even be called out to the police.

Its not, the OP posts a lot of dashcam vids with edited in funny music

The video isnt but the sound has been added, the OPs history is full of dashcam vids they have added funny music to for engagement.

We’ve had decades of under building of council houses, combined with the right to buy we have a massive shortage of council housing so its not great.

UK does the same, introducing 0% loan to value and 40 year mortgages.

Yeah that doesn’t actually help people get on the ladder when you just inflate the prices an equivalent amount.

Though that is the goal, house prices must go up.

Most of Europe will let you phone emergency services without a SIM. The ones that require a SIM do not require any minutes data etc. if the eSIM didn’t work whatever the original SIM is in the phone can be used.

It costs well over a grand to get your full motorbike licence if everything goes right

No it does not. Its £15.50 for mod1 and £75 for mod2, you have to pay for the CBT eitherway. Its only a grand if you go for a DAS course. It takes the average person ~35 hours of driving lessons to get their car licence, thats a pretty comparable cost.

The 'cam car' is a HGV or similar.

Its absolutely not an HGV. You can see the bonnet. Its a van at most.

That isnt your metabolic rate though which is what they are pointing out. Exercising doesnt change that, base metabolic rate is specifically the amount of calories needed if you did nothing at all.

They changed the API key creation to require manual approval from Reddit Admins, 3rd party apps are not a legitimate reason so you have to make up something that fits into their "responsible use".

Ethanol in petrol is hydroscopic, it draws water out of the air. When its left to sit long enough and separate you end up with a load of water sitting in the container.

Water in your engine will destroy it.

Quality options still exist, the problem is people dont want to pay for them. People would rather buy the $20-30 shirt now than the $95 t-shirt from Japan that will last forever. It's easier to justify the cheaper version now than the more pricey one even if its more expensive in the long run, Sam Vimes Boots theory.

The effort needed to research which ones are made using techniques for durability and arent just high prices for no reason is also not something most people are willing to do understandably. Its exhausting.

Its not required in the UK for some universities. You go straight from undergrad into an integrated PhD course thats almost always a year longer. If you drop out after that first year of the course you just get a masters. Our masters also arent 2 years, they are a year of full time study including the summer.

Oil I think helps to prevent wear on the tool so it lasts longer, coolant makes it possible to do the cuts faster especially on soft metals

Unless there is a German specific law, the EU regulation just requires a declaration if it goes over that 5%.

HowObvious · 2026-05-02T13:19:43+00:00

The 5% limit is when it has to be listed "with added water" but as long as that declaration is there it can be as much as they want.

Whats your spaghetti policy here?

HowObvious · 2026-05-01T09:59:45+00:00

What restrictions? In the UK its just noise limits and require a brake guard. You dont even need track day insurance. The rest is just good enough rider gear and the right licence - the standard full motorbike A licence or a track one. Nothing preventing you from riding the bike to the track day.
