true for natural viruses and also natural selection. if this virus comes from a lab, natural selection won't kill it.

that depends where you park your bike but in Southend rail stations, anything over £1,000 would attract some unwanted attention.

vfr makes us to question ourselves now and then when he comes to visit. It's not a bad thing, and thanks to flecc for putting the issues raised by vfr into context in a rational way. Pehaps flecc could post his witty responses on the daily Mail and the Express.

that reminds me of an episode on BBC2 Newsnight. Maitlis was interviewing Andrea Leadsom who suggested just that. Maitlis saw red and I wouldn't blame her.

no, I didn't say that. They do - however, we live in a very much international world, the segregation between skin colours is much less than how rich your family is or which private school you were educated at. The issues of stereotyping by the police (stop & search) for example wouldn't affect...

you could have replaced the title with half a dozen other broadsheet titles. one could argue that modern capitalism operates along the same line as slavery. The system locks people into some 30 years mortgage and there is no way out but to go to work every day to keep 'your'...

Sweden avoided the high cost of lockdown until now. But... 9 out of 10 Swedes are still susceptible to catch Covid and a second wave is more likely with a high level of active cases (40k for 10 millions Swedes) . If and when the second wave hits them this winter, I think the Swedes are going to...

there is a residual value of Covid education in the last 3 months. People will retain a few precautions: not touching their eyes, nose, mouth before washing their hands first, wear some face covering, avoid large, busy shops, avoid handling cash, distancing whenever possible etc.. This said, I...

dexamethasone would reduce the fatalities by about 10%. The kill rate of CV is still about 1%. Only an effective vaccine could replace lockdown.

'sensorless' in the context of a hub motor means without the 3 Hall sensors fitted. The Hall sensors are there to indicate the precise position of the rotor's magnets. They are not related whatsoever to the torque sensor. The latter is mounted onto the axle of the bottom bracket and measures...

I know you can root a phone in a similar way you do with Linux systems. That's why I mentioned trademark laws. It's the word Bosch xxx that you can't use in your code if you do this commercially.

I noticed your choice of words and I guessed you would have looked it up before answering. The point is, although the economic cost of lockdown is about £5 millions per fatality plus possibly 3 people losing their jobs, we are not mentally prepared to accept a potentially large number of...

Anders Tegnell is the architect o the Swedish strategy. He is quoted here: https://www.newstatesman.com/world/europe/2020/06/how-sweden-s-herd-immunity-strategy-has-backfired it has of course failed.

Sampling of antibodies in Sweden shows that much less than 10% has antibodies. To achieve herd immunity for a virus as dangerous as Covid19, they need 10 times that. Imagine the UK were to pursue the same strategy, we'd be talking about deaths of half a million people with co-morbidity. None of...

the battery is mounted below the downtube a bit like the Bafang M500 kit: Bafang M500:

it will never work in the West, people are not prepared for the kind of death toll that a herd immunity strategy will inevitably cause.

government (dept of education, Gavin Williamson) has agreed with Rushford this afternoon.

you may run into trademark laws if your code answers 'you are connected to a Bosch xxx battery' when the customer switches on.

the Trekker looks nice though. 24kgs? a bit too much for most.
