that guy is an electrician. He said that practically all the buildings he's worked in are defective as far as fire prevention is concerned. The tories hang on to Thatcherism as far as I can remember and still do. They want smaller goverment, less spending, less tax and less regulations. Nobody...

The cost of protection measures is small compared to the consequences of doing nothing.

the switch is not necessary and it sometimes fails outside the warranty. The little spark that you see when inserting the battery is taken into account in the design of your controller. If you worry about it, put a smidgen of grease on the contact blades of the battery connector.

You need to take into account the fact that what goes on the wall is not certified because the law still allows this. The cassettes were fabricated to order so the end product is not certified like the OEM product (in this context, the ready made panels to be riveted which has been certified...

Just say who it is. You can buy BLK if you like. If you say Larry Fink, he's a small caliber billionaire. Sometimes I wonder if billionaires supporting the Dems are attacked because of that.

You can also add GS, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity etc. They are all assets management companies. For real control, look at Musk. Musk can buy Trump just as easily as Putin can.

You put BLK shareholders and BLK customers in the same basket. BLK is worth $130 billions. Assets under management total 10.4 trillions. Elon Musk is worth $275 billions, he owns 48% of SpaceX which owns Starlink which rakes in 40% more revenue every year. In less than 10 years, Musk will be the...

Give us the timeline, the years since these events are supposed to have happened (destruction of the UK economy and the USA economy). All we see is Russian interference.

no. I mean that Badenoch reverts to Thatcherism's small goverment. However, how small do you want our government to be? We have already privatised electricty, gas, telephone, post office, rail, buses, doctors, small operations. All we have left is hospitals and the army. Do you feel our...

contrast that with her conservative peer, Kemi Badenoch, favourite to take over from Sunak. She said government "should do fewer things, but what it does, it should do with brilliance".Looking at what the last 14 years of conservative goverments, they do less and lessbut nothing with brilliance.

Would you use that stuff to insulate your house? Honestly, if the contractors don't know what PE stands for, they shouldn't be in business. And if they and the owner don't ask for the certification, then ask yourself why. It's not that difficult to guess. It's not like they don't have the...
