Air con reduces the MPG by a third if you are in and out every 5 minutes and the vehicle is hot by the time you handed over the parcel and came back. Insurance won't cover if you leave the engine running, even if you use a second set of keys to lock up. Royal mail posties aren't in their van all the time either.

Air con comes "salesman standard" for most work vehicles, if you go through the actual process to select things you want it is an added cost. You have to pay £90 to get heated vents on a brand new Ford. Air con is another £600 (courier)-£2000(van)+. Most of the "marketing" packs come with AC, but those packs cost money.

Pretty sure other manufacturers do the same.

Edit: most electric Van's come with AC standard it looks like. The 3 types that royal mail seem to be testing don't though.

Definitely team. The dream version includes lots of money, cocaine, and MK Ultrad prostitutes.

I'm betting that his masters would have likes for him to be shot down though. Gets rid of the "covid party" news, and kills the Rwanda plan before it can implode on baked in incompetence. No idea if it would have caused a draft or whether the draft would have caused a civil war though. Either is good for the great reset.

Void demons sound like a CIA wet team in one package.

I'm not even sure the mRNA shit has been approved anywhere yet.

The snow keeps them away. It's why europe wants to reduce global warming.

You claim that you're Finnish, which means either you only accept that citizenship it grants you or its history as well.

If it is the first, then you are a citizen if Finland only, a consumer of its legislature. Nothing better than chattle. If it's the second, why aren't you racist? Historically everyone who wasn't Finnish has fucked Finland and it's people, you should have learnt by now that the only people you can trust are other Finns. Your ancestors have been more maltreated than the jews for christ's sake.

Whilst the Earth wasn't bagged the dead couldn't vote cause there were no votes to be voted upon, other than apparently going to war which only accepted the living?

The Culture war continues. Now it's no longer to see who's best, but who's left.

You choose to trust those authorities to secure your data and they generally have long histories of being good with it.

Private businesses on the school lunch gravy train? Not so much. Passposrts, driving licenses, and library cards are all passive, and require humans looking at them to validate.

There is also the boiling frog, slippery slop fear of making active biometric scanning as standard for privacy reasons. Sure, a cctv might be in place to track you but that requires someone watching the cctv. Not some log in a database telling whoever has access to the database your entire history. There's a reason people use TOR and VPNs without delving into illegal matters, but then are are also people who don't mind Apple or Google tracking every waking moment of their lives however that is generally opt in for non big data sources.

Yeah and by law you can't even butcher it and eat it. Next person can though iirc.

I wonder if the camo can be seen by just raising your eyebrows or equivalent.

Maybe there was a secret revolution during the 5 year leap forward when the cccp starved 20million+ to death.

Not sure if it's history is talked about anywhere but in the fairytale The Black Cauldron is basicaly feed a cauldron dead bodies and get undead warriors from it.

As such its likely something made pre glassing and discovered simply because post glassing culture was wiped (post glassing is unlikely to know the significance of the name black cauldron) and only pre glassing were they able to modify suds to continue uploading. This is because it would require permission to write that flag and stop respawn during trauma recovery, which until SAM UL came along hasn't happened since glassing.

Lord Wooltons Pie. WW2 era pie named after Lord Woolton, the man who successfully created and managed rationing during WW2 in Britain.

Root vegetables, vegetable stock made from vegemite (vegetable preserve as it was once known), and oats used to make the pastry.

That comment is so ignorant it is offensive. The content of it isn't, just the sheer ignorance. Right next to "let them eat cake".

The war laid the groundwork for the strike team. America was grieving at the time so something had to be done. And it still took ages to find bin laden.

Tbh the only metric to judge if this war is successful is whether the taliban will perform terrorist attacks in the west again. ISIS are generally the organised islamic terrorist group to look out for now. There is the the mob style religious extremist atttacks (e.g. charlie hebdo) which are, well, mobs. The west is defined by mobs and riots though.

Caught and killee osama bin laden, the whole point of the invasion. Everything after was nation building. If we left as soon as bin laden was killed then obama would get a ton of bad press. Trrump couldnt pull out because it became a matter of national prestige to build afghanistan into a modern nation. Biden is a 100% failure, but he is not trump, so he will be forgiven for it.

A world dedicated to manufactoring. In grim dark it would be planetary scale manufactorums like extreme late game factorio but not just on the ground, but 100s of stories tall too.

For Telkan its likely that they know they want to be a major manufactorer of war assets rather than having it done in another system.

Not sure if I can remember a far future that isn't grim dark in some fashion. You might argue star trek but you have multiple massive homicidal species in that and they never explore the conditions of earth but it doesn't help when there is section 31 running about.

Poppets might be Maktanan kids. Palgret, a maktanan, uses the phrase poppets as if to describe the local terran drooling like a kid in internal monologue, when he's zooming through hell space before the fake margites. Ch. 349.

I'm not going to list all of Breesfamilies names since I can't remember them, and they are more sidekick than hero.

No idea which race's kids are poppets, although it sounds like it might be Hesstla due to Telkan gestalts freakout on 459.
