As I have mentioned before, one medicine I know of now costs around £253 for 28 tablets - whereas in Greece the same medicine (different make) costs about 1.2 euros, and even in Germany another different make is around 30 euros for 100 tablets. If I need that medicine and am expected to make a...

It had long been obvious that Russia regarded the EU as something to be worried about. The expansion into the Baltic states was, possibly, the most obvious single step which they disliked. Why should anyone be surprised that they would do what they could to undermine it?

Can we assume that Trump is not a politician?

A bit simplistic - we would also need to establish bilateral relationships with other countries which until now have been covered by Euratom, as I understand. Who knows how long they might take?

Rather than just one exceptional case. Perhaps, if they did make cannabis widely available (on NHS or in vaping shops, ebay or anywhere else) fewer people would care about remain or leave?

There are plenty of knowledgable folk who are concerned about that potential outcome: https://www.bnms.org.uk/news/press-release-british-nuclear-medicine-society-statement-on-leaving-euratom.html https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/brexit-is-bad-for-our-health/

Potentially we will lose access to radioactive isotopes for medical use due to the Euratom debacle. Could have a direct effect on lives.

Hardly typical, everyday Norwegians, as I understand: Two far-right Norwegian politicians have nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, lauding his efforts to denuclearize North Korea. Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen belong to Norway’s right-leaning...

We don't all say such nice things about him. Some of us say things that are perhaps a little critical and unpleasant. :)

About thirty years ago, I was driving on a lovely sunny afternoon, along a dual carriageway with excellent visibility, and hardly any traffic. Saw some ducks over a field, they flew across the road, and I really thought nothing of it. Until the last one looked much lower - and suddenly it hit my...

Which is why it should not be used unattended.

Surely, it is simply not possible at present? I sincerely doubt 10 milliseconds will be achievable in the real world, especially if any data needs to be retrieved from external sources. (What? You've never heard of a 2019 Audi A1? Ah - it's just out for a bit of road testing.) If you are going...

I agree. I do like adaptive cruise control - very largely because it can make my right foot more comfortable AND avoids me having to keep looking at the speedo. But I would reject a partial system where I have to go from being totally side-lined to being in control in milliseconds. It is...

Your microwave doesn't have to rely on getting its time from the microwave in the house over the street. It is internal, it is not likely to be affected by bad data. Yes, of course it can go wrong. That is why it, and much else, advises not to be used unsupervised. (Probably - many do but some...

I see only one use - parking. Imagine a huge car park where you can leave your car at the entrance and let it drive itself to an empty bay. And the same in reverse to pick it up. A tightly controlled and limited zone. Finite, slow, predictable. Even then I can imagine some tea-leaf being injured...

But whether an intentional spoof or a technical "imperfection", you are still relying on what the other vehicle says. If its own location sensing is wrong, it will feed duff information. You said: "Each will report its GPS coordinate (in WGS format) when interrogated." Which means that you have...

UK cycling is worth more than the steel industry – where's the strategy? Carlton Reid A new report argues we’d all benefit if the government started taking the cycle industry seriously https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2018/jun/16/uk-cycling-steel-industry-strategy Have to...

I seem to remember that aircraft are specifically barred from working like that. After all, how can they trust the data other aircraft are sending out? It would be so easy to implement systems which are hostage to hacking. We have seen what some people do with drones and laser pointers. Just...

I can certainly understand derailleur being less expensive than in-hub gears. But having shelled out the extra, what?, £150 for that, the increment for disc brakes should be quite small. The Raleigh Motus Grand Tour 2018 is one example that does combine them.

Why are there so very few ebikes with in-hub gears that also have disc brakes? Looking at model after model, you can often see the derailleur version has disc brakes, but the in-hub gear version doesn't. There are, for example, Nexus gears which are suited to disc brakes. Am I just a bit...
