"So, here's your daily reminder that anything you put online – especially publicly online – can be automatically filed, stamped, indexed, and numbered by ad networks, analytics outfits, search engines, government snoops, social networks, and so on."

"My vote to leave had nothing to do with immigration, While we have a youth that is predominantly work shy then we as a nation need to import labour, while as a nation we cant or wont pay or skilled nursing staff a proper wage and give then decent working conditions then we have to import labour."
1. In other words, bring in the darkies to do the jobs "we" are too lazy to do ourselves and to do the jobs that are too shitty and/or too low-pay to do ourselves. Because "we", being us obviously deserve better, because reasons.
2. You don't "import labour". You let in people. You know, actual human beings.
So, no, of course nothing to do with immigration. Or, heaven forbid, racism.

Re: It was not expected to last MUCH longer than 90 days because of dust building up on the solar panels
