Most old council estates are privately owned now. Many newer ones are also being sold as shared ownership.

This is where Europe labelling and certification make more sense. L, M , H and H asbestos. Having a HEPA filter is like saying your clothes is 100% polyester, doesn't really say anything useful.

That's false, Blackwall tunnel is completely banned for non-motor traffic. The pedestrian path way is for emergency use only and it's blocked off at both ends. Going down there with a bike is suicidal and also prohibited. During my 7 years commute on the A2 I have never seen a single bicycle down the tunnel.

You sure you're not mistaken for Rotherhithe tunnel?

edit: I see you're referring to Greenwich tunnel. Fair points.

All good but you know that every single hydrogen car contains a generator that powers an electric motor, right?

If batteries take so much space how comes EVs have FRUNKs while no ICE does? Oh because there's no need for a massive engine block, center diff, etc.

If you want to beat the efficiency, why not have everything nuclear powered?

The software (firmware) is great but the community especially over on Discord leaves a lot to be desired. They have this sanctimonious holier-than-thou attitude towards beginners and anyone dared to question their approach. Check out Thomas Sanladerer's saga with them, it's quite eye-opening.

In the UK you can install a remote stopcock, it's almost a DIY job:

Are Forex ETFs considered regulated or unregulated, in your view?

Completely absence from this are the loss due to lower Benefit in Kind (BIK) for Electric vehicles, and First Year Allowances for EV purchases. Driving an EV means only paying 1-2% per year tax compared to 30-40% for a locally polluting vehicles. First Year allowances mean you claim back 100% of the cost of the EV to offset any taxable income.

These business rates mean owning an EV outright as a normal employee is very dumb. Would you rather pay £300 per month for a PCP on a Zoe, or £150 a month for a Taycan as a company car?

On top of that, it is ILLEGAL to sell and install dumb EVSEs. Does not apply to third party resales but if you can't find someone to install it, it's a moot point.

You will NEVER catch the perpetrator. Period. Also the cost of enforcement will quickly outpace any revenue gained, as council's parking enforcements has shown.

Even when caught says on CCTV, there's no guarantee you can find and fine the driver. There are over half a million uninsured cars on the UK streets at any time. Twice that many uninsured drivers. Even getting them to pay for insurance is hard enough, how difficult do you think it'd be to get them to pay £10k fine?

Only for residents in 7 states in the USA, the lawyers take $15M from the $50M settlement. As usual they're the true winners.

In the UK for the networks that support eSim, to switch provider you only need to send 2 SMS's, the eSim will then be downloaded to your phone. After a few hours it's ready to go. You keep the same phone number (if you want).

This article from uSwich explains the advantages better than the article:

While this is factual, the majority of Met police's funding comes from the Home office, which the Tory controls, and they've been in power since 2010.

That's simply not true. Being very involved with Neighbourhood Watch and a CBV for the Met myself, I can tell you how many times residents reported drug dealings (with legitimate proofs and intel) vs the number of time the police actually did anything.

There are 4 PCSOs, 1 PS and 1 PO covering over 17,000 household where I live. Effective policing is simply not possible, drug related or not.

Could someone explain what the article means by "Endemic esports media outlets" and "Endemic news site"? I'm thoroughly confused.

OP's wording could have been better but you can understand he means images of illegal drugs. Very kind of you to nitpick this, how else could people have known?

Did they interview the tourists and ask if tourists came because of the Bitcoin adoption?

Quoting an article where someone's confounding causation and correlation does not absolve you from the sin of committing the same.

They sold off their robo investing in the UK not long ago. With the way they're focusing on crypto now, I'm glad I no longer have an account with them.
