My sister in law in Indonesia has (had? Not sure) stage four cancer and is only alive over the last 4 years because the family are having to pay for the expensive drug. I can’t remember the name, but it was the on the UKs NHS refused to use because of the cost.

The medication matches the household income. That’s two fully grown adults and one working child.

I know the NHS here is always talked about as being in trouble, but in still glad we have it.

This is typical for Bournemouth and Poole in hot weather. People travel down to there for the long beaches. Places like London are less than 2 hour drive away.

Sadly a lot of dick heads are included in those crowds.

Edit: the crowds are typical but not this early in the year as you said.

Yeah I love GLaDOS too. How many bad guys get plugged into a potato.

Perhaps they’re after the resources which aren’t so common elsewhere, like oxygen. Maybe they would turn Earth into an oxygen farm.

I saw a lifted oversized pickup in my town in the UK. It was hilarious. Like this one it was long, way bigger than those big Fords which are becoming more common here. And lifted. It also made a big brrr noise.

Also worth noting that we have a prescription charge for each prescribed item. I think it’s currently £9-something at the moment. This makes all medicine the same price for all. Some people are exempt if they are under 18, pregnant, etc.

Caffeine reduces anxiety. Anxiety is the reason I don’t drink caffeine drinks.

I saw a video a while back of a pair of young women in a car. Passenger says to driver how many miles do you drive if you’re driving 60mph, for one hour. She really couldn’t figure it out.

Kind of like the cheddar cave but for different reasons and different temperatures. Well, actually, the only similarity is regulation.

Is this for real? Any links? Not doubting you but it’s always been a dark thought I can’t push away about accidentally drinking that stuff.

Yeah. It’s like saying what weights more, a KG of iron or a KG or feathers.

Like that killdozer where some dude (farmer? Can’t remember) bought a bulldozer and fortified it and welded himself inside. He didn’t go on a killing rampage, he had beef with the city and squashed loads of buildings.

As you said it came to an end when he couldn’t move it. I think he got it stuck rather than running out of gas.

It depends on what I’m wearing as to how many pockets I have and where I’m travelling to.

The usual are

2 phones, keys, inhaler, 2 Pokémon auto catchers.

Yeah I liked Salvation. T3 though, not a huge fan but I did like that it bridged the gap of how skynet became the way it did and the crude tech. I kind of view it as the film that was needed (from a story line point of view) but nobody wanted.

I loved this film so much in the early 2000’s. A few years ago I said to my wife we have to watch this after discovering she’s never seen it. Oh but wait, it’s not the version I watched. It’s not even the same bad guy. That’s not the version I wanted.

Same for me. I got a 3D printer and was more interested in downloading files than creating my own. But when I got into FreeCAD it opened a world of customisation.

It took me a long time to learn and I’m still learning, like ensuring I’m constraining in a way which allows resizing later on in the design.

Thank you for the very detailed reply. I’m in the UK and we do have RON95. I was asking because I have a '89 Ford Escort in my garage which I haven’t fired up in about 2 years. While it did have carbs I’ve done an engine swap and now it runs EFI.

Let’s say it is over a year old, what would happen if it’s used in a car?

I should watch Real Steel again.

Yes agree. I go for the lead-free solder. I know people say it’s not as good but I’ve not had problems with it.
