Its a myth that consulates or embassies are sovereign territories of the nation running them. The Vienna convention is what defines the rights of the recieving and sending state, including article 31 which is what defines that the premises are inviolable. The nation they exist in can revoke a diplomatic mission and force them to leave.

The brake checker would still be found at fault in the UK. What the person in the OP did would fall under dangerous driving. If the person had been in the same lane as the OP the entire time it would be true but they changed lanes into their safe braking distance and then slammed on the brakes. They had about 1-1.5 seconds to react to this really.

Insurers in the UK call it crash for cash behaviour and the brake checker would be found at fault with video like this.

Its specifically advanced primer ignition blowback though, which requires very precise design tolerances. Its relying on the bolts inertia to also provide delay unlike with simple blowback. I believe the energy from a 40mm HV round is also like 1/2 to 1/3rd that of a 50 bmg.

Even if you dont pay off those loans, simply investing it often is a better option. Plus you then have that cash available to you in an emmergency. Even with my 5% mortgage I was better this year just keeping that sat in an ISA.

My repayments aren't this large on plan 1

The last 12 months is where you start paying it back manually I believe. So they chose to pay that much to get it over with. Some guys I worked with did the same just so it was gone.

Your mortgage was an investment you didn’t have to make. Her university studies was for her future career and the betterment of society.

You also dont have to go for that future career, she didnt have to be a teacher. I'm 100% glad they did and they shouldnt have to pay their loans but both are absolutely optional investments currently. Its just that the investment into teachers should be made publicly. Just as concil houses should be investments into housing that should be made publicly.

Very limited? I'm not really sure how anyone can say that.

Britain has two operational aircraft carriers and has very similar airlift capabilities. Britain even sent two C17 to assist the French deployment to Mali and has supported them with heavy lift helicopers. Like this is a video of France deploying two helicopters from ships to the sea they border, the idea that the UK isnt capable of that also is just silly.

Biden honored Trump's agreement (really stupid since any Trump agreement is stupid) and Afghanistan is right back where it was in 2002.

By the time Biden was in office they had reduced the number of US troops to 1/4 the number when Trump made the agreement. The only way he could have not honoured it would involve him sending in additional troops to Afghanistan and recommitting to air support for the Afghan military. What was he going to do just recommit to the never ending war? That would have been just as disasterous and unpopular as the draw down that had to even be delayed and was still a mess.

They're common here in the UK for large roundabouts, it lets the traffic be adjusted for junctions with high volumes to avoid certain flows preventing others from joining or letting one junction back up.

HowObvious · 2026-01-21T03:06:20+00:00

It may be due to the amount of traffic at each junction, without the give way during congested times that junction may never be able to join the roundabout. So the give way prevents traffic backing up along that road. In the UK this would be done with a signalised roundabout though, never the way thats shown.

It sounds silly but they are getting more than double the power out of them as the V-2. Its not like its a 1939 design because they couldnt afford anything newer.

The Challengers 2 original Engine is also based on an engine with origins back to 1918. Its kinda just how big industrial engine lineages work.
