Re: 2-week battery life
I'm still using my Pebble Time Steel. It's a bit scuffed but otherwise works fine. Battery life is still quite decent too.

Taxis crashing into other vehicles and your garden wall - bad.
Taxis crashing into skyscrapers and multi-storey buildings - really really bad.
How will we stop bad eggs/suicidal/depressed people/terrorists from getting jobs as flying taxi drivers and suiciding themselves into high profile targets? We need plans in place.
"The aircraft must be equipped with a [cockpit voice] recorder"
I know they're probably hoping for intellectual radio talk from an experienced pilot, but if this becomes the Uber of the sky the recordings will be very very common...
"Can we make a stop at the kebab shop on the way home?"

"Can I have a go flying this?"

"Oh no, you have that backwards. It's in heaven that all the good stuff is forbidden. In hell you can do whatever the heck you want."
I actually had it right, i believe i just missed the comma: "but all the good stuff is forbidden in the Bibble, and in hell anyway"
I've always struggled with commas * facepalm *
"an Advent calendar featuring a sausage roll in a manger rather than the Logos Emmanuel, Son of God himself, Jesus Christ"
The alleged son of the alleged God himself, or herself, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely
A pedantic atheist, and yeah, im going to hell, but all the good stuff is forbidden in the Bibble and in hell anyway!
"About KDE GUI, take a look at the "Visual papercuts" section here:

Ah, so no serious bugs, just design changes that are questionable or half-arsed? You had me worried for almost a second. Anyone can nitpick.
That's site is solid gold! They have a misattributed quote on the page though:

Greg in Columbia is clearly Linus Torvalds...
Aha, so it does involve Onedrive. For anyone not aware, Microsoft was caught aiding the NSA and giving access to Onedrive. It's not paranoia, it's happening (or at least it was and now they cover it up better).

"There are many more reasons than a lack of apps for Microsoft's failure in this space"
Like what?
Lack of updates? Also an Android issue in many respects, so that's unfair.
Advertising budget? Not an issue.
Likeability? No, people liked the products as the reviews note.
Choice? No, there were a few different phones a year, certainly more than from Apple.
"Lies and "alternative facts" - it's established fact that Banks was funded from Russia, one Leave group illegally funded the other, and Cambridge Analytica targeted swing voters.
The Remain campaign was guilty of an insipid campaign and forecasting the apocalypse in the immediate days after the referendum (then again the QE probably helped), but I really fail to see where lies are on the same scale as Leave's campaign.
I'd say threatening the country with a punishment budget if they voted leave is quite despicable, as is wheeling out world leaders and handing them statements to read out in favour of your side, as is spending more than the agreed amount to keep it fair right before the campaign started, as is lying that no other country would trade with us if we left, as is extending the deadline and encouraging more youngsters to vote just to prop up your side, lowering the age limit just for the vote because it favours your side. That's just what springs to mind, there were many more lies from remain.
Vote Leave should never have been fined. They followed to the letter the rules given by the Electoral Commission, who now admit they got the rules wrong - And they gave them a fine for doing as they were told. The head of the Electoral Commission should be out of a job for that and the fine should be rescinded since it is unjust.
"Liar. Any military arrangements, within the EU were always subject to our veto. But, we will lose that veto - so they can do whatever the hell they want."
You're in denial. Germany is already doing it and has been for a while now. https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/05/22/germany-is-quietly-building-a-european-army-under-its-command/
"It is more like that we owned 3.5% of a house, now we want to sell our part of the house to the other 27 joint owners, and we want to include the money we spend on renovating the bathroom in the price"
This is probably the longest of these discussions i've seen where no one has bought up the "leaving a golf club" analogy. I have to say that i prefer this bathroom version. It adds variety.
"No deal means planes or trains grounded until agreement"
What planet do you come from where trains aren't on the ground?
Your other post consists of an angry rant accusing me of being angry - Something certain remainers have been ever since the referendum. I'm not angry, i'm dismayed that people like you are still fighting the inevitable with your lies and "alternative facts" 2 years on from your rigged referendum.
"which didn't represent NI's remain vote"
Northern Ireland didn't get a vote - The UK did. The opposite of how the UK didn't get a vote during the Scottish independence referendum - Only Scotland did. It's not difficult buddy, we've had 3 votes now and you lost all 3. Over 75% of voters at the last election voted for parties pursuing Brexit. Move on and grow up you anti-democrat.
"The next crap down on the list is to restrict freedom of travel. That hits both ways. You are contributing towards restrictions on my freedom of travel"
Really? You can't go to Europe anymore? Telling porkies are we?
Let's twist this. You're forcing me to remain in a United States of Europe that takes more of our GDP each year, foists more rules on us each year, and is slowly combining armies to achieve military dominion over members (another thing you lying remainers said wasn't happening during the referendum you cheated and lied in constantly).
"I have my suspicions a fair few votes were so called protest votes, and not on the actual question, which was vague"
I have suspicions that a fair few people who voted remain have no idea what the EU even is or does. See the reporting during the protests after the vote where many youngsters didn't know what the EU was, does, or even what they were voting to remain in. One dopey cow even got on camera to claim we had to stay in the EU or the UK Gov wouldn't keep paying for us to go abroad to the EU *headslap*.
"But neither can the Union, if it wants to retain it's current form, allow any special deal with an ex-member (we've gotten special deals before, but that was before the whole leave decision).
To do so, would set the worst sort of precedent, and definitely kick off the break-up of the Union. With all countries uncomfortable about one part or another wishing to back out of different bits"
This is the thing i never get with you deluded remainers. Look at Canada's deal with the EU. It is better than anything the EU has offered to us or agreed with May, and funny enough Canada is not a member. They break their rules when it suits them. It's a protectionist racket
"Either let us stay in or give us our money back and buy us out
When you move out of a flat, does the landlord refund you all the money you gave to pay the rent?"
As was already pointed out, including by me, that's a bad analogy. We're not asking for the flat back, just our furniture.
"Until recently, Brits have done an excellent job of getting an unfair share of EU pork"
No...We're a net contributor. And Blair handed back a chunk of the rebate we get while the French still pull in massive subsidies for their farmers and veto any discussion of reform in this area. It's a protectionist racket where we're squeezed for more and more each year to give to economic basket cases as a bribe to join and make the EU even bigger, all the while "democratically" representing the people less and less.
"Within the limits of that analogy, wouldn't it be more like not being refunded for the new bathroom you fitted"
Yes, but the landlord also wants you to pay for upkeep and cleaning of the bathroom for a few years after you moved out, and you're not allowed access to the bathroom.
"When you move out of a flat, does the landlord refund you all the money you gave to pay the rent?"
Not a good comparison. You do get to keep your furniture when you leave, and you only pay rent up until the point you lived in the property, not for years after. A better comparison would be starting a business with friends and eventually cashing out - you get your share back at current value, unless you negotiate badly, but you are entitled to your fair share.
"Interesting, what evidence do you have that suggests Google are anywhere near as bad a Microsoft?"
Google may be worse than Microsoft these days. Microsoft never had to face down a rebellion against their own employees over whether it was a good decision to build AI weapons of war for the US Army. Regardless of your opinions on the Americans - these weapons WILL be used, and probably in the Middle East - sparking more wars, destabilising more countries, more waves of people flooding across borders to flee, and more terrorism at home and abroad.
For anyone who isn't familiar with the 2016 Bank of Bangladesh heist look it up on Youtube. Absolutely fascinating how they managed it and timed everything, including taking the printers down at the same time. It sounds as sophisticated as an Oceans Eleven heist.
That's not a thumbs up, it's a concealed nuke from the Supreme Leader...
