Considering that Thatcher had been using the cops as a tool to force through her…

Casualty is the UK’s longest running medical drama and they have both an emergency medicine doctor and a few nurses that consult on the scripts so that the medical stuff is at least semi-accurate.

So, they’ve disrupted the car industry, labour organisation and the truck industry. Any odds on what they’ll disrupt next?

I get Batmobile vibes from it.

I manoeuvre with the clutch regularly in my 1.1l Hyundai Getz when I’m parking and stuff. You don’t need power/torque, just care. And flat ground.

Production cars have only lately got into mad horsepower levels but custom built ones have been doing this for a while. Red Victor’s been around for over a decade and that has 2200bhp-

It’s governed by the exchange’s signup process. The actual transaction takes less than an hour to process in the bitcoin network.

Once you’ve bought it, safest way to store your btc is probably Armory. You’ll need to download Armory https://btcarmory.com/ and the actual bitcoin core https://bitcoin.org/en/download then budget at least 2 days* along with 150GB of space to download the blockchain (all you have to do is fire up Armory, it does…
