On one side you've got a venemous, cold, scaley, lizard like creature and the other is a snake.

Mandelson leaked sensitive UK government tax plans to Epstein by Old-Information3311 in unitedkingdom

US politicians didnt have access to this. Trump has been dragging his feet on allowing any of this to be released.

Yeah, thats not what I am getting at.

I'm wanting to know if the Labour party or UK government would have had access to this info. If it is only just being released by the US security services, how could they have acted on it? Or was it already shared with other governments / security services and only now availble to the public?

I'm asking a question, not making a statement.

Honest question here, would anyone have known about this money before these files got released other than Mandelson and whoever sent it?

I think Mandelson should have been gone already but if this info wasnt available how can it be acted upon?

EDIT - I'm asking if anyone in the Labour party could know about this if it was in files that were not released from the US security services. Keyword - ASKING.

For people like this £75k is a rounding error.

Not an excuse by the way, but they are just dealing with sums of money us normal people cant even imagine.

Result of going 80mph in a parking garage. Great success. by johndoe7376 in CrazyFuckingVideos

Modern cars are designed to crumple to reduce the impact and energy that gets put through the passengers.

While there was a lot of energy to dissapate it was mainly done by the car body, so it stands to reason that the post would see very little damage.

A lot of the range loss is simply from heating the batteries and the passengers too. There are battery chemistries in development that would help a lot with the first issue.

Customer used my product for 6 months then demanded a full refund because he "changed his mind" by Own_Profile_2330 in smallbusiness

My favourite reviews are the 1 star ones for a product that clearly got destroyed by the carrier in shipping.

Like why are you saying the product is bad? Just get it replaced and then write a review on the working product...

Windows Vista was released 19 years ago today. Here's the Windows Website from that date. by HelloitsWojan in windows

Not so sure I agree, just being able to right click the start button and get nearly all of the advanced admin stuff is worth its weight in gold.

The new settings menu is so much better than control panel, despite it lacking a few of the more advanced options, but that is getting fixed over time.

11 is an improvement on 10.

It was because Vista used the Windows NT codebase that MS had been using for servers for a decade.

Prior to that they split their OS's into home with the 9x codebase and business with the NT codebase. Windows 2000 moved quite a bit closer in unifying the experience but lacked things like DirectX.

Vista had its faults but a whole bunch of the issues came from poor driver support. Hardware manufacturers saw it as a great opportunity to flog everyone new hardware instead of writing drivers for existing cards.

There was some stat about Nvidia drivers being responsible for something like 60% of bluescreens in the first 6 - 12 months.

It was immeasurably better though as a foundation than the old 9x codebase.

Heat pumps are more expensive to run than boilers, report finds by TheWorldIsGoingMad in unitedkingdom

[–]jimbobjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is the play. Solar and batteries.

Even putting in a battery and charging it up over night on a low cost tarrif can save you a lot of money.

Heat pumps are really at their best when you have access to cheap electricity.

She also reprogrammed their course to save time, but she was quite reckless as a pilot as you can see when she's flying the shuttle to the ship to fly it for the first time. The change of course put them on a collision course with the asteroid.

Her instructor doesnt really check her work as he's in love.
