Unless I am mistaken, there is no line. If POTUS does in office, vice-POTUS takes over.

Where I am (a small provincial town in north west France) we at least nice small bins on the street. With MASSIVE GREAT BIG BINS underground where the actual rubbish goes.

I looked at his garage, looked at mine and decided I hated him.

Possibly harsh, but I feel it is fair.

Why on earth do you need to trial putting things in a bin?

I have 7 of them in the guitar amplifier next to my desk.

We need both

I am planning the installation of 9KW of solar panels and batteries in my home (the limit in France), but that will not cover all my needs. My home is full electric apart from the wood stove, so I will still need to dip into the grid at times, especially in winter.

I am in an ideal situation too. I have a large flat roof and a garage to house the necessary equipment. The majority of people are not in that position.

Nuclear power the grid so it can be as effective as possible for those that are dependent on it. Give people like me the financial incentives to take some of the load, even if I cannot go completely off grid.

Send it to the rain forest

Turns out humans are worse than radiation

Unfortunately, thanks to the anti-nuclear lobby, we are in a situation where the current reactors will have to be shutdown before the new ones are available to take their place.

The allies in Europe want no part of Trump's insanity, so we are not helping.

Sorry my friend, Donald got the US into this mess, he has to get you out. He keeps saying he's a genius, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Sysadmins have no idea what they are doing, we're just one step ahead of the rest of you at googling stuff.

I thought he didn't need any help with the war he had already won?

Disclaimer: my wife has a chronic neck injury.

Car! We've had Renaults for years, but last time we went for a BMW and the difference is night and day. My wife had to do lots of stretching exercises just to go and buy bread. In the BMW she can happily drive 5-6 hours with no (extra) discomfort.

Sounds like you need a holiday.

Rent a log cabin with no cell service for 2 weeks and see what you feel like when you get back.

Either your parents have serious problems or your mum is developing some form of illness. They need to see someone.

In France I work 32 hours, have 7 weeks holiday and awesome healthcare.

I have cows in place of a unicorn though.

Why does it feel like it's only ever Bernie Sanders that is pushing to bring the US inline with Europe?

The problem goes back further. You say "another group owned it first", but Israel say they have had that land for millennia and it was given to them by God.

Palestine did not even exist until the British randomly carved it out on a map except for a brief period under the Romans around 0BC. The Romans called it Palestine in order to remove Israel's identity.

How far back do we go?

died of medical distress

Isn't that how everyone dies?

As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.
