They broke from “everything is a pound” years ago. They also still do a really bad job making it clear what is no longer a pound.

You’ve got some catching up to do then.
Pink is countries the UK has invaded. Purple is everyone else.
As much as I would love Linux native builds of games, this also makes a lot of sense. I consider it a completely acceptable solution to the problem.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
I suspect paradox are just taking a fuck you attitude here, but that’s a separate point.
Like it or not, Linux is a very small part of the gaming ecosystem. We also now have proton, that makes it far less of an issue.
Give all this, I would rather a reliable windows version, with an eye towards not fucking over the proton translation. Any Linux version would likely lack a lot of bug testing etc.
The goal is a stable fast game that runs on Linux. How that is achieved is almost irrelevant. At this point, asking them to play nice with our translation layer is the best option.
It could be argued that the government “owns” the whole country. It gives you unlimited use, for a 1 time fee. The existence of property laws, property taxes, and eminent domain implying this.
It depends on how pedantic the vampire is about it.
Was lunch included?
I would go with android auto, or Google maps. Nothing like having to log back into your sat back system, every 15 minutes, while driving.
The number of car crashes it would cause would bring a lot of countries to their knees for a while.
Idiot teen is an explanation, not a dismissal. Nowhere did I say to ignore it. My point is that there is a gradient of both crimes and intents. If there is no matching gradient in legal response, then it can lead to injustice.
An idiotic crime will often need fairly minor corrections. A malicious crime requires FAR more of a response. Treating all crimes as malicious ends up diluting the view on truly malicious crimes. It can also drive individuals into the very situation you want to move them away from.
Context matters a lot. However, in general, it’s a far lower crime than many in that category. Critically, it’s not of the level to be desirable to destroy their future over. The punishment should be enough to deter and correct, but not more.
Many/most of us have been idiotic teens before. Society’s goal should be to correct and improve. Not go in with sledgehammers aimed at skulls. In many cases, the embarrassment alone would be enough to do the job. The law just needs to drive that point home.
It would limit watering down the register with ‘minor’ offenses. It would also help avoid trapping an idiot teen in a negative spiral, due to a stupid drunken mistake 10 years previously.
The prison sentence kicks in after appeals have been made. 2 years, plus 2 suspended.
It’s also not unknown/uncommon for people to be let free for a few days. It lets them put their affairs in order, before serving their time. It tends to be applied to those with a very low flight risk however, with significant affairs, so mainly the rich.
As a UK citizen, we know there’s a difference between the government and the people. You definitely have a serious problem, but you’ve not been abandoned. We have issues with Trump and his cronies, not the people of America.
We might be a bit stumped on what we can actually do to help, but you’re not alone.
Hopefully it’s a dead cat bounce. Falling shares often recover slightly, before continuing their fall. Only time (and action) will tell.
Taxes. The EU introduced rules of tax transparency. The UK left the EU the day before the rules kicked in.
On the global stage, America doesn’t have a centralist party. It has a right party and an extreme right party.
For comparison, the UK is relatively right leaning. The democrats are comparable to the UK conservative party. They are the most right leaning ‘main’ party.
It’s also worth noting that he fell on his own sword, politically. He knew that Briton needed a strong leader, with the people unified behind them. Churchill could do this, he couldn’t. He took the blame to keep the rest of the party clean.
The load varies, though I’ve found the suspension is hard enough that it doesn’t shift for a normal load up. I mostly do it because I’ve noticed that, when I hit a bump, my lights can sweep up over the windows of cars in front.
Also, I don’t mind them readjusting it. It’s calling it a fault that bugged me.
I drive a van, so I could easily be the culprit. I therefore make a habit of adjusting my beam dip appropriately. Apparently that is unusual enough for them to note they had been adjusted in the service. There’s literally a dial on the dashboard. You’re SUPPOSED to adjust them to the vehicle and road conditions! Apparently not having them set to max is now considered a “fault” to fix!
Imagine widgets are $10 in country A, but a company in country B can make and sell them for $8. Buyers are likely to buy the cheapest (all else being equal). A 100% tariff would turn $8 into $16. Company B still only gets $8, but they now look far more expensive to customers in country A.
They are designed to price out external competitors to local companies. This can be used to protect industries. Steel is a good example. China can make steel far cheaper than the rest of the world. However, steel plants take a long time to build and get producing. You generally don’t want a potential rival to have control of the materials you need for war production.
Another legit use is to account for local regulations. If you require local companies to pay in a carbon credit system, an external company could undercut them from abroad. A tariff would help level the playing field.
None of these apply to what trump is doing. He’s swinging a claymore mine around like a toy hammer. It causes huge damage to all involved.
The seller thinks the value is net negative to them. The buyer thinks it still has a potential positive value. Both would agree to just hand it over.
Unfortunately, UK law does not allow that. Consideration must go both ways. The simplest way is to sell for the minimum reasonable amount. $1 is traditional in the US. In the UK it is £1. The other commenters link has a good writeup on the practice.
