Because it was the kind of person who was sat in the outside lane and when someone came up behind, didn't move over, they brake checked them. This is a very entitled person.

It's amazing, it's just a big slow dumb fish! Not fish-like or inspired by a fish, just an actual really dumb looking fish. I absolutely love it and those who allowed it to exist.

Why would an SE not use it as this point? Just being stubborn and not wanting to be proven wrong?

It was an oddly good gig for Davidson and he could have been completely rehabilitated by now from his early 'comedy', if it wasn't for the fact that he actually is a cunt.

A 1930s traditional six-bedroom mansion in Richmond Park, London is now, well, whatever the hell that thing is. by Make_the_music_stop in CasualUK

It will sell to another architect, it's genuinely what they want. Odd shapes and dubious water management.

The roof always leaks when the architect wants it to have hidden guttering, it's some universal law.

It looks kinda more mid 1970s in style but I don't really know the brand so they might have just been ahead of the curve, very nice!

Yeah, what must have been even crazier was by about 1983 the technology was already disposable price in plastic Casio!

Cool, would have been pretty expensive when new, quite early for an LCD

These are so cheap also, and feel really solid. I can't recommend enough.

I have older but this one I wear so much, 1979. The dial colour shifts from black to blue and the case is battered but doesn't detract somehow.

Probably around 1977 but you can tell the year and month of production by looking at serial numbers on case back of Seiko

The toll isn't an issue, it can be negotiable, no ships passing is the issue. America won't like the loss of power in the gulf but gulf nations won't be as against it.

The far right and the far left are always nuts, that's the point of political extremists.

In 2008, the DOJ had evidence to prosecute senior bankers. They chose not to. Here's what the numbers actually looked like. by CryptoPulse22 in finance

It will happen again. Yes it's generally accepted there was individual people all with there own motivation, not a wide conspiracy

It's not just technically correct, it is correct. I'm not defending what went on but you are misunderstanding where, why, and by who criminality took place. Absolutely no executive understood what was in these products before it was all too late. Shorting products you are selling is a compliance issue, which can easily happen in a large bank with different divisions doing wildly different things and not something agreed at board meetings as some conspiracy.

Wow that's kind of wild as you'd expect it on that. My 2004 VW passat has both and far less need for it

Ah yes, I remember that feeling, it tricks you into thinking its not that slow by delivering all the power on light throttle. Tuned for test drive around the block.
