That's just another name for the save icon.

It gets better. The size of the SD card isn't the storage area. Look carefully at the back of an SD card and you should see how a tiny square area in the middle is a bit 'thicker' than the rest; that's the actual chip, that tiny bump!

Without those two I may have never gotten into english that well.

FTFY. Not a dig, just correcting your already very good English.

I'm one of those that consider the H2G2 trilogy complete with the 5 original books.

But it's only trucks that have to slow down, and my truck - like most modern trucks - has an 'L' classification for Austria, which stands for 'Lärmarm' which translates to 'Quiet'.

120mph? What? The fuck?

Humans aren't designed to react to things at that speed.

Noise concerns is a joke. I drive a truck in Germany. In many villages and some areas of towns/cities, trucks are to drive at 30 kph instead of 50 kph at night to reduce noise levels. The joke is, when I drive at 30, the truck is in a lower gear than at 50, making more noise, passing more slowly (noise duration longer) and putting out a higher volume of CO2 for the duration.

Cars with fart cans and motorbikes with their loud exhausts are way louder than my truck could ever be driving those roads - at any speed.

The trick is to ask them their name. If they reply "Smith", then you say "Yes I know it's Smith, but it seems I can't recall your first name", so he says "John". Or if he says his complete name straight away, you say "Yes I knew it was John, it was the Smith I couldn't remember"

Bingo, you have their complete name. Works the other way round too.

Fun fact: Spiders in a house normally mean it is basically a dry building. They also get rid of more unpleasent insects. If you feel you must be shot of a spider, please just put it outside.
