Imagine a revolutionary method of transport which offers so many benefits but where the appropriate level of safety and vehicle maintenance is decided by Californian tech investors who are seeking rapid financial growth. Let’s talk about Lime in London! www.londoncentric.media/p/lime-ebike...
londoncentric.media
Did Lime switch to bike tyres ‘less suitable for London's roads’?
The company denies the change to cheaper Chinese tyres on its e-bikes was a cost-cutting measure, as more Londoners come forward with severe injuries.

I suppose we disagree on the definition of rich. I would suggest something like “top 1pc” and your definition allows for maybe 1000 rich people in the world

if you can donate 250m to the Trump campaign you are rich. he may or may not be the richest person in the world or not even super rich, whatever that means. but he definitely is rich in any meaningful sense of the word.

How not to communicate numbers. Why use “blue whales” as your unit of weight for carbon? Why not say “roughly equivalent to driving all the way round the earth 100 times”?

actually the reduced sugar content is made up; I get this quite often with ChatGPT: it tries to add some interpretation to it

it is a test -- so it is the actual content of the note, but obviously it is not sensible content but just some made up stuff

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes. Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?
