Great explanation from Hannah Fry as to how the car industry criminalised US pedestrians 100 years ago.

True, but it was marketed as an opportunity to "invest early", with the hope of making a profit if they went public. Mate put in substantial amount very early on. Lost it all when they sold out to a hedge fund last year. Arseholes.

Raised a load of cash in '22 from micro investors, then shafted them last year.

Also, every new plug you might buy in a DIY store has the wiring diagram on piece of card stuck to the pins.

If I could steal any player from City for my team, it would be Silva. Amazingly talented, makes them tick, and a proper shithouse to boot.

Not sure if this is blocked because it's not a US word or for other reasons.

USA, Australia, Netherlands, Germany, possibly Italy, all immediately spring to mind as examples of developed nations with a legislative capital city that isn't the economic capital, and are some distance apart.

Manchester City Council approves extra Β£95m for town hall refurb Work on the Grade-I listed Victorian building will now cost nearly Β£525m and is set for completion in 2027.

There was talk a few years ago of them moving to Manchester while the rebuild happened. Could wait until the Manchetster Town Hall refurb is finished, as it pretty much looks the same inside. 2024 target completion now expected "Spring '27"

Cost Β£500M +

Not come across the word "sharenting" before, but I'm definitely using it from now on. Lots of folks I know are incredibly guilty of it.

I well remember an early instance - the Californian proud new father who posted a photo of his baby boy's birth certificate on Facebook.

Far too generous. put them in one of the tent cities in Vegas or Vancouver with nothing but the clothes on their back.

After a few years, there'd be calls, led by their client journalist mates, for the sentences to be cut. Never been a fan of capital punishment, but I'll make exceptions. The world would be a much improved place if all the powerful Epstein paedos who thought themselves untouchable left the world.

Had no idea. Thought they were just a department store for clothes, furniture and bedding etc.

Living in the UK, I've never been to one, but I remember the name.

See also what happened to Toys R Us, Pet Smart, Staples (UK), TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Radioshack. It all reminds me of what happened to the restaurant in Goodfellas.

One of the South Park writers bought the domain name a while back, and rather than sell it to them, he's putting random Epstein stuff on there.

As the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson puts it so beautifully: that film breaks more laws of physics per minute than any other film ever made.

Or maybe it's to distract from the box office figures for "Melania" ?

I hope you have a better experience than I did with your Canon Pixma. Mine seemed to eat ink, worked when it felt like it, and was often tricky to get drivers for. The day it died I was very happy to take it to the tip.
