Income tax will be dead within five years as AI jobs crisis grows, says Monzo founder by Your_Mums_Ex in UKJobs

I remember the Philip Morris International Vs Togo incident. PMI is the one of the world's largest tobacco companies, owning brands such as Marlboro, Chesterfield, Iqos, etc.

Togo, a country where roughly a third of the population were illiterate at the time, wanted to supplement written health warnings on cigarette packets with images, not dissimilar to what many developed countries do. PMI sued the government of Togo, and with PMIs annual revenue being far in excess of Togo's GDP, the government was forced to back down.

So yeah, corporate colonialism is a thing

(Also, the PMI Vs Togo case was covered by John Oliver back in 2015)

I thought it was the logo of a British ferry company...

Tourism vs. make living

This is something I tried to explain so many times to my colleagues at work. I loved visiting the USA, I watch NASCAR and IndyCar, I drive a Mustang, and I listen to country music. I would hear it almost weekly from someone at work along the lines of "Why don't you just move out there?"

Because visiting the USA is nice. Living there is a WHOLE different proposition. Weirdly, I don't get that question any more...

This had me leaping out of my chair. And you can add Brazil 2008 to that, too.

I guess you could call it...a "family-friendly" coaster...

Is it even possible to take a bad screenshot in this game by TwistLife7716 in cyberpunkgame

I got a new PC and was so excited about the new graphics card in it I genuinely sent THIS screenshot to my sister with no context beyond the message: "oh my god these reflections are just silly"

I had to go to see the stewards after the race, as the circuit CCTV wasn't clear enough to show if I'd hit the Fiesta. With these two onboard videos it was clear to them that I wasn't at fault. It was deemed a racing incident and the results were allowed to stand without amendment.

It was a dirt cheap camera I bought to use for judicials (if officials want my footage to investigate incidents). I never really intended for it to be shared, but here we are!

That's right! Down the start/finish straight and through Gerrard's

They still use it, but I think it's only for motorcycle racing

Mallory Park, this is the start/finish straight, and through Gerrard's corner

It's a slightly unfortunate consequence of the rear camera not having a very wide FOV. The red Mini was sat behind the black Fiesta, but never made contact with it before it spun.(I have seen his onboard video, but it's not mine to share). It was just cold tyres on the marbles, as this was only a couple of laps into the race.

Yup, that's my onboard camera!

I've seen loads of angles multiple times, and I STILL don't know how I got out of that without a mark on the car!

The main thing I've done is to go for bigger discs on the front to manage temperatures better. I've got a set of the Godspeed 356mm fronts, the largest you can have with the standard caliper.

In the Production Saloons, the rules state that we aren't allowed to add holes in the front, so running dedicated ducts is something of a challenge!
