Re: How Hollywood can police this more effectively from Brussels is a mystery.
Looks like somebody didn't get the memo. It happens.

Bungling ATM thieves blow up bank statement machine
Wednesday 9th November 2016 11:04 GMT
"In Germany cash machines do not normally show the account balance. Instead separate machines, known as Kontoauszuege, print your bank balance for you."
Almost. The ATM will usually be able to show your balance, but won't be able to print a statement. That's what the Kontoauszugsdrucker is for (see post above). Because "Was Du schwarz auf weiß besitzt, kannst Du getrost nach Hause tragen", oder so ähnlich. Anyway, Goethe.

Yes, let's try those recipes from the 1930ies again. They worked so well then, didn't they? They did, didn't they? (BTW, I'm looking at you too, Great Britain.)
I'm kinda hoping that he will either quit because he'll actually have to work for a change - 'being Prez' is 24/7/365, sitting at the desk where the buck stops, without a second of true privacy due to protection he can't send away. Definitely not the lifestyle he is used to.

According to other sources the attack may have lasted quite some time, but the heat was off for an hour or so because "maintenance crews went on-site and shut down the internet links and switched the heating systems over to manual, restoring service".

1) Assuming it actually does work* - if "no one knows how it works", it is obviously just an assumption that it is "in violation of Newton's Third Law of physics", by which you probably mean Newton's Third Law of Motion.
2) There is nothing wrong with using a speel chekker.

Re: Remote Corner ?
If only there was a way of doing a bit of quick research without using outdated reference books or, better yet, without even having to leave your desk!
I must look further into this. Perhaps by using some sort of advanced electronic equipment? I understand there have been interesting developments in automated adding machines lately.

Re: Just install a non-elected Dictator / getting confused about our own electoral process
Which reminds me of one of Dabbsy's recent offerings:
[... ] But all I was hearing was the line: “We don’t like unelected officials telling us what to do”. What unelected officials are these? “The European Commission,” they’d tell me.
Members of the European Commission are indeed nominated by something called the European Council but, I tried to explain, this Council comprises the European heads of state (elected by us), and even so, their choice is still subject to approval by a vote in the European Parliament (also elected by us). In fact, the head of the European Commission is directly elected by the European Parliament (who are elected by…? Oh yes, that’s right: us).
Electing the European Commission may not be a plebiscite but it is just the same as voting for a MP whose political party has decided that an off-shore money-laundering, tax-dodging toff should be Prime Minister whether you like it or not, only to ditch him barely a year later in favour some other imbecilic, dough-faced cunt.
As John Brown said, it does seem that in the UK (and in quite a lot of other countries too) some people are getting confused about their country's own electoral process.
Which does invite the question whether there shouldn't be some sort of test involved. You know, like when getting a driving permit.

Re: Superman was right!
Raj: So, as Hannah Montana, Miley was a world-famous pop star. But then she would take off her wig and go to school like a normal girl. Which, I don’t have to tell you, at that age, is its own headache.
Sheldon: That’s preposterous. How would she go unrecognized just by wearing a wig?
Raj: But you’re okay with Superman concealing his identity with a pair of glasses?
Sheldon: He doesn’t just put on a pair of glasses. He combs back his curlicue and affects a mild-mannered personality.
