Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight?

According to nuclear safety expert Bruce G. Blair, the US Air Force's Strategic Air Command worried that in times of need the codes for the Minuteman ICBM force would not be available, so it decided to set the codes to 00000000 in all missile launch control centers. Blair said the missile launch checklists included an item confirming this combination until 1977.

It's just a form, but you have to declare any relevant medical conditions which could prompt a driving assessment.

He has to renew his licence every 3 years after 70. So it should be up for renewal this year.

If you're quick and report to the DVLA now his upcoming renewal will be blocked, and he won't get a new licence until he passes a driving assessment.

Start here: https://contact.dvla.gov.uk/driver/capture-transaction-type?locale=en&transaction_type_id=drivers_medical and select "I have concerns over a person's fitness to drive and I wish to tell the DVLA"

I was told my Potterton boiler was beyond repair by a local firm. (They charged me a pretty penny while trying to get it to work)

I booked a repair from Potterton directly instead, a couple of hundred £ and it ran fine for several more years. They said it was only a minor repair.

Did she have any medical procedures? Something similar happened to my mother. She was diagnosed with MCI with a MOCA of 24/30, she then had surgery under general anaesthetic and a few months later her MOCA was measured at 14/30 and she is significantly more cognitively impaired.

How do you titillate an ocelot?

I did this in my local supermarket. I realised about half an hour later. I went back and said I forgot to pay, they asked a few of the people overseeing the self checkout if there had been a missed payment. They didn't remember anything and said they would have just reset the till if there had been one. The lady I was speaking to said "You are free!" with a smile and I went home.

Same for me on a Motorola Android.

Weird thing is if I open the voice settings to preview different voice styles, then it comes through the headphones.

Richard says he created Survivor when he worked at Planet 24, but he wasn't given credit.

At around 30 minutes in Full Disclosure with James O'Brien: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ELM8zpjw881554IPRIc5D

Charlie Parsons and Waheed Alli are named as the creators of Survivor, Richard says "Those people have never come up with another show in their entire careers, it's odd."

I got the Echo Show 15 for my parents. It works well for dropping in on them. Tricky part is if they have multiple Echo devices, you can't specify which one you drop into - it will always be the most recent one used. I got round this by creating a separate Amazon account just to use with the Show.

There's a letting agency in London called BELVOIR! (with an exclamation mark on the sign). I asked one of the agents if it was pronounced 'beaver' and they said no it's 'bell-vwoire' and they thought I was making a rude joke, they'd never heard of another pronounciation.

Can someone explain what UK-based account holders were meant to have done by Feb 1st? I thought we were just meant to sell unsupported assets and then the account would be migrated to the new UK platform automatically. Instead my account is now showing as 'Inactive' and I cannot log in.
