If the first crash had been in USA or Europe, the second one would never have happened. False prejudiced assumptions of where the causes lay caused the second crash. A disgrace.

How is fuel wasted by not reaching the destination counted?

Re: Seems to me that FB and Google got caught with their hands in the cookie jar

"allowing a browser which doesn't use the OS engine (and you wonder why.... maybe it does collect some data?)"

There's no mystery about this one.

1) Impossible to guarantee any kind of safety with a separate browser.

2) Impossible to guarantee any kind of performance (battery life, etc).

"As to my job, I work for a US corporation that is so fed up with EU rules"

Oh, well. Explains a lot.

Re: were not allowed to vote, even though decision affected them massively

You are a UK citizen living in EU and want UK to leave?

That’s lunacy.

Re: Special powers

I have loads of knifes. Mostly in the kitchen, but some in the garage.
