I get the feeling that it's fairly common in US schools to have kids in before 8am, possibly even before 7am!

Is this because of the widespread school transport and the need to stagger the bus usage? In the UK it's quite rare to have school transport, with most kids at high school taking public transport, and at primary school either walking or being driven

I got the feeling from German textbooks at school that early starts were common in Europe too.

Sorry I can't picture this - had he taken it off it's hinges and put it on a couple of stools?

But if your vpn has a zero day, that lets you get to the ssh server. It's two layers of protection, you'd have to have two zero days to get in instead of one.

You could argue it's overkill, but it's clearly more secure

Zero day sshd vulnerability would be bad.

On the other hand if you had to break through wireguard first, and then go through your single well-secured bastion, you'd not only be harder to find, you'd have two layers of protection, and of course you tick the "VPN" box

Your OOB network wouldn't be affected by changes to your main network

But you have two independent VPNs right, using different technologies on different internet handoffs in very different parts of your network, right?

Is crime higher, or is it that crime is reported more?

> house prices to income ratios are much worse

But what about cost of housing -- interest rates are much lower, does that offset the costs?

I used google maps the other day on my phone for the first in in ages (to see if they had anything for the fuel issues in the UK at the moment). I was amazed how full of junk I wasn't interested in getting in the way of the actual map.

I remember when google beat places like yahoo and excite because it had a simple clean interface.

No. Local time in Greenwich is currently 1657, that's 1657 BST (which has daylight saving). It's 1551 GMT. Solar noon today as 1205 GMT.

Just like in New York where it's 1157 Local, or 1157 EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) - 1057 EST (Eastern Standard Time)

Everything Branson does is related to his ego. Unlike Musk though, his companies accomplish very little other than marketing.

If the Democrats win both Georgia elections (or one GA, and NC), and it ends 50:50, with the VP having the tiebreaker vote, do the Democrats become speaker?

> You don't feel how he handled the Covid pandemic was a bad policy?

It wasn't good, but it wasn't an outlier compared to the west.

In the last week there have been 16 deaths per million from covid in the USA, down below places like the Netherlands, Portugal, UK, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Argentina, Belgium etc.

Overall the US has performed as well as the UK, slightly better than Italy Sweden and France, not as bad as Spain and Belgium.

That isn't a tax thing though - payroll/income taxes are roughly the same.

In the UK, someone on £80k ($105k) will pay £25k ($33k) in tax. That includes healthcare

In the US, someone on that amount in Denver will pay $29k in tax.

That's not an extraordinary difference, even before you factor in health care costs.

> Reading OPs problem and some posts here where people are too bored of making ludicrous money left me with a bitter aftertaste that life really is unfair and success in life is more linked to the lottery of birth and opportunities available to you than any amount of hard work. Not hating, just saying.

This is of course true, which is why I much prefer European social democracy "loser wins some" to the US "winner takes all" approach.

But people born with luck don't tend to realise it

You were born in the west. You didn't starve as a child as the rains failed, meaning your brain didn't develop even if you did live to see your 5th birthday. You had access to clean drinking water. You went to school, you learnt to read and write. You didn't get drafted as a drugs mule age 8. You weren't forced to murder someone as an initiation rite age 15. You didn't have to risk your lives crossing rivers and seas to get to a safe country to work for $10 a day with no safety or rights because you were in the country illegally.
