Did they forget to put the preservative in?

There's a guy near me that has a drive going over grass and it's great. If you put tarmac down, that's got to be worse. To reinstate that area, all you have to do is pull it up. I think the overall environmental consequence is a fair bit less than the limited leaching it's going to do.

Another plus.

Yeah, he's more technocrat and civil servant style of thinking. He's nothing like most politicians. He's actually skilled in his profession. I don't think there are enough experts in government. Maybe they are better as advisors, we'll see. He strikes me as more pragmatic in his policy decisions rather than a blinkered ideologist. If anything, it's another country drawn in to the global political conversation, which is good. It helps to show FR Americans that their country can't exist as an isolated economic island where their decisions have no effect on their neighbours and wider world. Geographic separation, means increasingly little nowadays

He was Governor of the Bank of England as well, that's how I know of him. I think his term was even extended from 5 years to 7. He must have been a steady pair of hands.

Do you think his extensive knowledge of financial infrastructure and awareness of the long term consequences of fiscal decisions will make him a useful person against Trump's shennanigans for Canada and its allies?

Kefir seems to have the most bacteria types in it. I've got some dried inoculant to try sometime.

Trustpilot reviews are very good. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.voipfone.co.uk

Yes. They order specific accounts to be investigated, but when the UK government spokesman, might have been Starmer, was questioned about bulk accessing data, he said words to the effect that they don't discuss operational matters in public. I think, the responsibility now lies with the user to securely encrypt before uploading to the cloud. The order given to Apple was secret and they are barred from talking about it at all. It was leaked.

The main point I take from Sensei's posts is that internet security is an absolutely binary-choice scenario. No one can see, or everyone can see. Apple knows this and they will have some of the most knowledgeable geeks on the planet on their payroll. The law can either allow total privacy or none at all. It's that simple under current security protocols.

This is correct in the UK. Companies are bound to hold a user's data for two years or more after deletion.

As nice as that would in principle, you can't have selective encryption; it's all or nothing. That's why Apple is pulling out its opt-in advanced encryption option from the UK market. The UK government wants on-demand access by having a backdoor put in. It claims the public is protected by UK statute and needs a judges warrant to access. This is bollocks because if they want to access any device surreptitiously without a warrant, they just ask one of their, 3, 5, 9-Eyes security partners, who aren't bound by UK regulations, to do the dirty work for them. It's a sad state of affairs, but here we are.

If bees are akin to neurons and the hive is the brain, is a single neuron conscious? I would say hives are nearer to consciousness than single bees.

Is the time for civil rebellion approaching if the principle tenets of the Constitution are not being observed and democracy is clearly being dismantled? I suppose, the definitive trigger for me would be when no election is called and El Douche declares himself de facto King of the USA.
