If Russia is successful in Ukraine, that makes it more likely that in future China will be able to carry out the same trick in Taiwan.

it was only 15cm long. that's at best a Master Dagger, not a master sword! still too long to be legal to carry out in public though.

No, but thanks for the offer.

When you hold a vote you get suggestions like Mappy mcmapface. Actually, that could work....

The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

No, the honey is on a sort of shelf outside and there's a box for you to put the money in. You could steal the moneybox and the honey but in civilised society it doesnt happen. This system is big for eggs around where I live - spare eggs are sold on an honesty basis at the end of driveways and if you are a really good customer you should return the eggboxes for reuse.

I'm sure the headline should say "once sold out, they'll only be available on the second-hand market". Not gone forever though.

if you are paying for any streaming service that has advert breaks, you are the reason there are commercials. imagine if subscribers walked away when they were introduced!

if the device switches off while in use on charge, that's too slow. if the device switches off whilst charging because it overheats, that's too fast. in between, forget it, the electronics will handle everything, and yes slower charging is better for battery life but you needn't obsess over the difference, it's there but unquantifi able. if you've heard anything other than this advice and you believe what you've heard, there's not much point in people here trying to guide you.

The human body can stand very fast speeds, but it can't cope with acceleration. To reach high speed you have to accelerate HARD. Otherwise it's weeks and months just to get moving quickly. And don't get me started on slowing down when you get there.....

check the waste pipes carrying water away from the machine because there's a blockage somewhere.

My installers connected the solar inverter to the home WiFi. I soon fixed that by changing the WiFi password, but I also discovered that inside the inverter is a stange-looking metal sim card, very small, but thankfully removable. I removed it. No-one is mucking about with my setup! (Except me 😀)

Swearing is brilliant if you smash your thumb with a hammer, or break something expensive. If you swear all the time in normal conversation you don't have any special words left to use when those things I mentioned happen.

Catenary is the magic word here

Surely if there are fewer training places, the existing trainees(i.e. the ones who are on strike) will face less competition for available jobs so this will benefit them? It'll make the NHS overall worse of course.

You've come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.

Why don't all food service places have you pay when you order? It works like that in the uk in more than half of places and the establishment can't suffer any loss.

I refused to carry the plastic cards for years, but google wallet allows you to add the barcode/qr code from a friend/stranger/family's card or phone screen, for any shop. You then get the instant discount at the checkout but won't accumulate the later 'points'- but your accomplice will! There are webpages online containing the barcodes if you are really privacy-conscious. I have b&q, sainsburys, morrisons, tesco and co-op stored this way. Some shops are introducing apps too - still a line i won't cross yet.

just shake the box up a bit. you'll soon know if the cat inside is alive or dead!?

If you get stuck, ask for help. Explain what your thinking is, and how you plan to tackle things, and explain what help you need to solve your issue. If you get the job, your employer can work with you if they know you'll ask for assistance when you need it - they expect to provide training or helpful oversight to any new starter. In the interview test, they are checking your basic knowledge, and also whether you are teachable.
