Some of the bambulab owners are a bit cultish for sure.

You're doing the cult thing.

Genuinely curious, is it just as a side effect of appearing to come from an EU server that means you trigger automated privacy systems? Or is there a legal basis by which you can say "I routed this through an EU server therefore I'm subject to EU privacy law" (maybe there isn't even a difference)

Can I say the entire Discworld series? Sure they're funny fantasy stories, but I reckon Pterry's view on humanity formed a lot of how I think about the world.

Also Dark Money by Jane Mayer.

I doubt it's a recent thought, knowing civil engineers, they're absolute perverts when it comes to concrete.

It might, but correct me if I'm wrong here (not a USer) but isn't the military/GI bill a huge tool for social mobility in the US?

Just to add a point - if the farmers do end up folding and selling off, who's going to buy the land? My money would be on large corpos.

I like this perspective, it makes me think some anxious drivers are just more aware of how bad they are. I doubt they're much worse (and probably better) than the average new driver, but the lack of awareness in the average new driver probably covers the anxiety.

I'd say don't leave it a long time, even if it's just pootling round an empty parking lot, even pretty confident experienced drivers feel anxiety after a crash, you're just not quite sure of yourself for a bit. Putting it off is just going to make it harder.

(Also absolutely they don't need to drive, but it's a hella useful skill - some confidence building lessons with a pro would probably help)

Wasn't that kinda the idea behind the 6 day war?

It's utterly bizarre, I'm looking to replace a Mondeo estate some time in the next couple of years. Frankly, SUVs are not a viable alternative - they have no boot space, they are less functional by a long chalk in that regard.
