He didn't mean to check if there had been an attempt to eradicate Trump specifically, he meant open a news app occasionally, as one does a social media app.

Aside from pirating, if you got Windows with a new pc/laptop, then you paid for Windows in the price of the device.

Why is it weird?

You could just say 'two weeks', but you could also say 'a fortnight'.

Come to think of it, you could even say 'a couple of weeks'

Prince ~~concert~~ consort

FTFY

Camilla had the title of Queen consort, but the 'consort' was dropped the day she, and Charles, were coronated.

Her 'Queen' is nothing like Elisabeth's 'Queen'.

It's pronounced ex-spouse . . . Wait, what was the question again?

I understand lots of the words in this post, but there are many that tell me I wouldn't get Linux up and running on any of my laptops or PC.

trucks are overtaking with 101km/h

As trucks are governed to a Vmax of 90 kph, and some even to 85 kph, I would suggest you get your speedometer checked, because it sounds like the advancement, required by law, is too high. It shouldn't show more than 7% more than your actual speed. Truck speedos are more rigorously controlled and show an average of 2 kph too much at 80 kph, so trucks overtaking at 101 kph is not normally possible - of course, speedo manipulation does occur, but it isn't so rampant that they all overtake at 101 kph.

Just don't overtake at +30 kph but more at 10 kph

The law does account for this: If all lanes are well populated and you find your lane is actually moving faster than the lane to your left, you may pass - not overtake - on the right, as long as you are not more than 20 kph faster than the left lane.

The difference is in passing and overtaking: Passing is merely going faster than the other lane, but staying in your lane afterwards. Overtaking, or to give it its correct name of undertaking, is passing and then changing into the same lane as the passed vehicle.

But you shouldn't be at sea without a VPN either, that's just asking to get a letter from some lawyer claiming to work for some movie theatre or other, so just open your VPN and watch your paid subscription as normal.
