If the EV is driven in the EU, where the UK tax does not apply, how is the UK only mileage reported as it won’t add up to the odometer reading? How is this legitimate avoidance handled vs fiddling the odometer?
5·2 months agoYet another example of so-called “free market economics”. Amazing how the USA cries foul when China legitimately decides to buy soy beans from a BRICS country because of Taco’s ridiculous tariffs. Trump’s economic illiteracy is not China’s problem. It has many other partnerships in the world. If the west didn’t want the Chinese economy outgrowing it’s own then perhaps the greedy capitalists shouldn’t have outsourced their production to Chinese cheap labour. But capitalism == greed and exploitation, so no surprise. You’ve made your bed, now lie in it.

7·3 months agoDefinitely nothing to do with oil /s
Venezuela currently ranks as the country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Based on recent data from multiple sources (including OPEC and various energy industry estimates), the ranking is:
- Venezuela (with proven reserves typically estimated at over 300 billion barrels) 2. Saudi Arabia 3. Canada (due to its vast oil sands)
China supplies precursor chemicals (NPP, ANPP) to Mexico where the Sinaloa Cartel and others synthesize the finished product. Most of it is shipped across the southern US border. It’s disingenuous to say China is supplying Fentanyl to the USA - like supplying fertilizer is supplying explosives. The so-called “war on drugs” has demonstrably failed. And the definition of stupid is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Perhaps dealing with why people feel the need to use drugs in the first place would be more successful?
Been running 43 server and workstation for a few weeks. No significant issues. YMMV.
How is it many on the right do not understand the concept of correlation and causation and that both may exist independently or concurrently? I guess denying science in order to pedal conspiracy theories based on ignorance may have something to do with it.
3·3 months agoExcellent /s. Institutionally racist and misogynist UK police get to decide who is allowed to protest - what and where. Why do failing governments reach for the authoritarian handbook? Because they are cowtowed to special interest groups and their own self interest and couldn’t care less about the people that elected them. The myth of so-called democracy. Protest has produced some of the most beneficial change - Suffragettes / votes for women anyone? Lack of protest is the path to a fascist state. Exactly where the powerful / wealthy want to be - no change, or ability to change, suits them just fine.
How long before the, now normalised, sending in of the national guard, is used to stop anyone / everyone from stealing (yes, /s) the next election from taco?
4·4 months agoIs there a reason UEFI Secure Boot with custom keys can’t be used?
How is this better than a hypervisor OS running multiple VM’s?
Lib Dems consider honouring their manifesto commitment to not introduce tuition fees. /s
3·4 months agoWell done. And only 200,000 innocent people had to die. /s
Instead of click bait headlines, let’s try realism: “USA to pay 25% import tax on goods from India”.

Iran is China’s 38th most valuable trade partner. The US is number 1. Who are sanctions on China by the US going to hurt most?
