I feel dumber having read that.

Banning a whole country because you disliked a company?

Dealing with stuff that's 'almost working' is often harder than starting from scratch; ask any tradesperson.

They also apparently cannot get their heads around the fact that people might give you a discount if you advertise their brand. Ad-supported pricing has been around for a long time; it's not some voodoo.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

NZ does that. More accurately, they email you to tell you that there's a letter available online - I don't think they send physical mail by default.

Then they pay any refund straight into your nominated bank account.

"We are gentlemen at the World Conker Championships and we don't cheat. I've been playing and practising for decades. That's how I won.

Mr Jakins won the men's competition but lost in the overall final to women's champion Kelci Banschbach, originally from the United States, who only took up the game last year when she moved to Suffolk.

Hmm.

Agreed, but "I wouldn't let him past" sounds a lot like deliberate blocking.

Taking the lane shouldn't be necessary if there are actual bike lanes and you don't need to turn. This sounds like deliberately blocking traffic.

Requirements often depend on the type of building occupancy and the chance of fire spread to neighboring buildings.

A series of such massacres against one people approaches genocide.

It honestly seems like these are questions that don't need asking.

You've provided no context about what you like and don't like, so you won't get any kind of a personalised response.

What are you expecting to get out of asking this as a question, that you don't get by simply going to Rotten Tomatoes?

This would be a waste of commenters' time, and that's why it's being downvoted.

It's not clear, but I think they were referring to the version 1 Pi - the newer ones are much much much faster.

Being an SUV, it'll weigh 50% more than necessary. That outweighs almost any other sustainability considerations.

Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

“Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers

Sounds like the issue might be with the record labels...
