If you lived in the UK, supported Tottenham and wanted to watch all their games in the 2021/22 season you had to:

Subscribe to Sky Sports (around £50-60 a month) for the Premier League games.

Subscribe to BT Sports (30 a month) for the Saturday early kick off Premier League games and the Europa Conference League games.

Subscribe to Amazon Prime for the 3 random weeks when they are showing the Premier League games instead of Sky.

Subscribe to Premier Sports (£12 a month) to see a Europa Conference League 2 legged qualifier.

And even then you couldn't see all the games legally in the UK because of the 3pm Saturday black out. You are forced to find a stream from another country where they are broadcasting the game.

Then when you are subscriped you get wall to wall gambling adverts during half time. For every other product you subscribe to, it is to avoid ads, but not television.

This was preceded by WOTC bringing in new top brass from Microsoft.

They intend to promote DnD primarily as a digital product.

The guy that promoted Ivermectin. He is a proven crank at this stage
I had an ethics module in my Engineering degree. I'm guessing you didn't.

Why don't cinemas have them then?

It's because people are listening to shows through terrible audio setups by default

The issue is the "Mourning period" is being used as cover to crown a new monarch with no opposition. People are being told "not now", and how disrespectful they are.

This is by design.

Meanwhile it's somehow not disrespectful to replace the Queen within hours.

Firefox is worth it alone for its 'reader view'. Especially on Android. And it's the easiest way to get around the likes of the NYT weak paywalls.
Look how Europe corresponds with this map of which countries dub foreign language TV shows and Movies versus which ones use subtitles.

Housing is used as an investment asset and a source of income rather than a home.

If you took all the investors out of the housing market, housing should cost just the price of construction.

If London was as smugly left wing as he the author thinks it is then it would not have voted Boris Johnson as mayor for two terms. The same Boris Johnson that was the head of the Leave campaign.

No one knows. That is where the instability comes in. That is why there is an effect on the price of the British pound, markets etc.

Schengen just means that there is no border control at the border of other Schengen countries. People from other EU countries can still enter and live in non Schengen countries, they just have to show a passport. That is not really control of your own border.

If 5 million people decide to move from Finland to Ireland in the next month there's nothing anyone in either country can do to stop them. One is schengen country one is not. Both are in the EU.

I get that a photograph can qualify as having it's own copyright. But what he's done here is take a screenshot on iOS. Surely screenshots don't qualify as photographs.

You pay 20% on the first €42,800 income and only 40% on income over €42,800 if Married with one income.

You pay 20% on the first €67,600 income and only 40% on income over €67,600 if Married with two incomes.

You pay 20% on the first €37,800 income and only 40% on income over €37,800 if a single parent.

Signing a contract in a language you don't understand is not an opportunity anyone on here should recommend.

The guy was a few days before an Olympic final he rightly should have won.

After that would have been the time for dealing with offers.
