By my username you may guess that I am in fact European.

People buy big cars in Europe F-150s would likely sell well. It’s largely just reticence to meet EU standards and do left and right hand drive. The biggest issue though is just they don’t seem interested in importing the better engine technology that Europe insists on and finding ways to make vehicles more efficient.…

They were making as accurate a game as possible. It is fundamentally true that Moors were not common in Northern and Eastern Europe at that time in history. It would have been VERY unusual, hell it was unusual to find black people in those areas in most of the centuries since. I was born in the far North of Europe, I…

As long as it’s not preventing another athlete from competing then I don’t really see the issue. Adds a bit of character and over tightening the rules just reinforces elitism in sport, which is a particular issue in winter sports given the high cost involved for most of them.

People should also check out lazy boys range of office chairs, they are phenomenally comfortable and the soft leather gives it that premium feel. I have non office chairs that are far less comfortable than my lazy boy.

That can only really be concluded if you assume fixed market conditions . That isn’t a sensible assumption as air travel by its nature is currently and in the near future subject to dependencies from its fuel source that rail in the modern design that is current is in dependant of and can be changed relatively easy.

You didn’t really read the post, I was discussing the issue with hydration in a water scarce environment. Consumed without water a freeze dried food is not a net contributor to your water requirements throughout the day, with freeze dried food you need to carry, or find your full water requirement every day. That’s…

To be fair you actually need to do that in some cars. There is a particular brand of European hatchbacks where standard nozzles won’t go in any way but upside down. The cut offs still work when you do that though.

I’m fairly positive it’s actually something the cars have an option for, I know the early S versions at least in some markets had it, but don’t know if it’s something they still have or is universal, which is why I didn’t mention it.

Just use a phone app that does speed alerts, even if I’m not using it I’ve got waze on just for the speed alerts. I’m tall so reading speedos on any car is normally a PITA and not a quick glance.

You can really only do that in certain situations, if it’s a big store with a large checkout area then that could get complicated and take up a lot of space. Really for most they could get it more efficient if they designed it like that from scratch.

The general principle is they are supposed to be for that purpose, you can fit more self checkouts in the same space as a single regular or even quick checkout(if there is a difference). Mostly it relies on common sense that you shouldn’t put a big cart through them, but you know what people say about common sense.

It’s not me that’s misunderstanding them, the contexts very clear. Is English not your first language?

I didn’t make any claims about your values or logic at all.

Really? How is it irrelevant in my point that your language is not helpful or productive then giving a factually correct description of why it’s not. That’s pretty much the definition of making a point.

The first paragraph is literally about things you said in previous posts. YOU called them cowards with badges.

In many cases unfortunately they are, that’s half the problem. But you can only solve that by systematic improvements to how you recruit, equip and train police.

Who’s presuming anything about anyone, other than you of course.

They have on several occasions, including this year where they shot a man in a vehicle, and a few years ago where they shot a guy in the back of a taxi. When the risk is high they really don’t take a chance.
