It isn't the case that they have to engage in diplomacy to bring him back. They are paying El Salvador to take these prisoners. El Salvador has no reason not to hand him over.

Retreats? After Trump stacked the court, it has done nothing but advance his agenda. They're on the attack.

Removing British Summer Time would leave GMT unchanged, so the clocks would be the same in Winter as they are now.

Control of militias matters, absolutely. Now tell me why those militias wouldn't immediately depose their billionaire and take what wealth he has for themselves.

The tariffs are hurting America because American manufacturing - like all manufacturing around the world - depends on global supply chains. Do you think those container ships are still going to be doing business as usual after the collapse?

They may think that they're being smart but, if society collapses, their money will be worth nothing. If anything, they have more to lose than anyone.

No - the nicks are on the end, similar to the plastic versions, so the thread is slipping along the clean edges.

I tried those as well, but gave up immediately. I just use little squares of card, with two nicks cut in one end. Wind the thread / floss around and tuck the loose end in the nick to hold it. Works much better. I also find it's much quicker to unwind thread from - it doesn't have those blobs on the corners, so you can just pull the thread to the side and it unwinds.

You don't have to make it harder to drive. It's a question of separating the cars from the bikes. Designate some streets for bikes and some for cars. That is better for both.

Where they cross, some junctions should prioritise cars and some bikes.

Also separate the pedestrians from the bikes on the same basis.

The article repeatedly lumps Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade together, but they are not the same at all, and I didn't see any examples of inspection failures for Fair Trade.

To be certified for Fair Trade, the producers must be a cooperative. That is relatively easy to check and it means that there is no-one to impose harsh conditions on the workers.

I think we have to thank people like this for demonstrating that losing your collection isn't just a theoretical risk.

OP is saying that she "stole" from the bank, and it seems that there is no evidence to say that she even fiddled her expenses.

Your comment implies that the BBC didn't bother to look for said evidence, but I'm not convinced. How do they even know that there was an investigation? It wouldn't be public information. Somebody inside the bank must have told them. Wouldn't that person also have told them what the outcome was?

For that matter, if the bank concluded that she'd been fiddling her expenses, wouldn't it have dismissed her?
