In the process dropping debris over one of the largest cities in Europe.

Gatwick and Stansted can take any plane just as easily as Heathrow, but has less on ground resources to fix the plane.

There's a difference between the onboard service and cabin (and god are BA shit), and the flight safety.

That said BA earned a hell of a black mark when it chose to divert to Heathrow rather than Stansted or even Gatwick when its engine was on fire [1]. Not as much as when Air France decided to divert from Lebanon to Damascus in the middle of a civil war rather than Cyprus because it was cheaper [2]

2.0.0.0/16 and 2.2.0.0/16 are owned by Orange, a European company. I'm sure they'd be willing to lease 2.2.2.0/24 and 2.0.0.0/24 for a nominal fee

5.4.0.0/14 (so 5.5.5.5) is Telefonica Germany. Same thing there.

Mercedes owns 53.0.0.0/8 which feels like a nice number for DNS too.

I use perl on a regular basis to manipulate text and display as webpages via cgi-bin

With 2 cables at the same time it could well be a ship dragging an anchor

My confluence server is behind a proxy which requires a valid client certificate to talk to the server

I have other proxies which require OIDC authentication before passing any packets on

Now sure, I'm still vulnerable to internal attackers from my company, but that's an audited trail to a real specific user, not just a random botnet on the internet.

I don't get this. My work email is on exchange, but I haven't used outlook for 15 years - I access web based exchange from firefox on my linux laptop

Metro is from the same group that brings you the daily mail, of course it's garbage

As is always the way when you make people vote on a specific Thursday when many people are busy juggling getting kids to/from school, themselves to work, and cooking dinner. Historically of course Thursday was pension day when the pensioners were all out to get their pension anyway.

In 1979 it was 42/45 for under 25s - 7% below average, and 47/45 for over 55s, 5% over average.

in 1997, over 65s voted 36% Tory vs 31% nationally - 16% above average. Under 24s voted 27%, 13% below average.

In 2019, over 65s voted 64% Tory vs average 45%. That's 42% above average. Meanwhile under 25s voted 19% tory, 38% under average.

That's a massive increase in age polarisation in just 22 years and increasing even more over 40. That is not a good thing.

This is a very angry person.

He claims he's going to explain why the alternatives are crap.

The first he starts off OK. I've never seen this specific design, but fine, you can't securely lock your bike. No explanation on what "securely" means (presumably at least two locks, one through each wheel)

He talks about "wheel benders", but doesn't explain what makes them deserve such a name.

It goes downhill from there. Number 3 his entire argument is "kill it with fire".

OK that explains a few countries which have a fee-for-service model, what about those countries incentivized to prevent problems? Do they take new technology on faster?

Well you're clearly wrong, just 43.6% voted Tory in 2019.

It was a majority opinion of old people sure.

The tory party has realigned itself since 2016 to the same values of the leave campaign, one heavily based on fear of foreigners

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but any look at voting demographics shows people of your generation and older are fare more likely to vote tory and brexit than people born after the 1970s. Comparing the how people voted a generation ago, in 1997, or in 1979, and age is a far larger indicator
