But your original title was just a Daily Mail-esque clickbait headline which didn't actually reflect the content of the post - your original post was indeed a one-man (or one-boy more likely, the standard of both the reasoning and the writing seems a bit more like a 14 year old troll posting...

Many of the higher-end luggage companies (especially those specialising in camera/laptop bags) already have inside-opening backpacks. The catch is trying to find retailers who stock a full range, instead of just a small selection of what they know will sell well. I've got one daypack from...

But if the prosecution puts in a lacklustre effort, simply going to trial isn't good enough. Some other places (e.g. the State of California) have rules about handing prosecutions involving police officers (or even prominent lawyers) over to the authorities in another city, to avoid local...

The ability to call off an action when it looks like becoming a Pyrrhic Victory for the company sounds like a virtue of the rail operators having been re-privatised. Shareholders don't like Pyrrhic Victories.

The reason it is not obvious is because it is not instinctive. Once you are dehydrated, you stop feeling thirsty (because your body starts shutting down functions to conserve the fluids it does have - starting with the GI tract) even though it's the time you need to drink the most.

You are on the money - the conditions for rails in Britain are by no means extreme, and rail-related problems kicking in when the temperature is only in the low 30s should be regarded as unacceptable. I live in South Australia, one of those other places where the conditions for the rails...

Not for the tracks which actually carry stack trains. If they ever let it get to the point where the upper container is bouncing around (and the federal regulator does keep an eye on this, including sending 'shipments' which are actually containers loaded with motion logging instrumentation)...

Not just in France - police in the Netherlands are threatening to disrupt the Tour de France next weekend.

Nice spin there, keep trying and you could be the next in line to be tried out as a Swann replacement! Mind if I provide some more balanced translations? Translation: as in all practice matches these days - including those when England are touring - the toss was a mere formality and the...

Some changes to ODI50 rules have been approved by the ICC and will be taking effect in ODI cricket as of next weekend: No five over batting powerplay. Five fielders allowed outside the circle in the last ten overs. No compulsory close catching fielders in the opening powerplay, still only two...

Perhaps the OP should send in a cheque in response to the settlement offer, and see if the company banks it.

More importantly, they are just one sub-class of a much larger fleet (the EMD JT42 export series) which also shares components with thousands of other EMD export and domestic locos around the world The structural components will probably be the limiting factor. The CSIRO in Australia has...

Something that hasn't been mentioned on here yet - Bangladesh have achieved a historic first series win over India in any format, they are 2-0 up with one match to go in the ODI series. The second win also secured their qualification for the 2017 Champions Trophy in England. I guess you...

On the players likely to either retire or have the decision made for them: Chris Rogers has already confirmed he will be retiring at the end of the series, no need to guess. Adam Voges? This is almost certain to be his only tour of England, but he would surely want to play at least one home...

Is recording without consent legal in Britain?

Standardising the height of the Scharfenberg couple for mechanical compatibility would be a good first step. This would not necessarily allow for universal compatibility in service, but would allow minimisation of disruption as any MU could rescue any other so long as it had the power and weight...

That's the whole point, that advertising brings in revenue and allows more money to be spent on raising the production value of that program or on cross-subsidising unprofitable programming which the management finds valuable for other reasons (e.g. a news division). Advertising is also an...

Very true. When the potential cost of an employee with bad form is multiplied by the chance of that cost being incurred and the resultant figure is more expensive than a company considers worth wearing, the employee has to go. It's a business decision, nothing more and nothing less.

A sound suggestion, just so long as you don't fall into the trap of assuming that maintaining an existing locomotive does not involve any resource consumption. It shouldn't be too hard for people with the information on component failure rates, availability of spares (both from part...

Because I didn't take my iPad with me for four days of mountain biking in the Flinders Ranges. It's an absolutely spectacular part of South Australia but not an area well served for charging facilities or 4G coverage :D Looking at the results of the last two matches, I imagine that the new...
