This happened because your visa claim should have been 'stolen card details/fraud' but it was put through as 'food not delivered' instead. Either your card issuer didn't understand what was needed, or else it was poorly described to them. And you can't claim twice on the same transaction.

So is the moral of the story that we should buy the cheapest hub from aliexpress that doesn't have a RTL8153B networking chip in it?

Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar's worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100's of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it'd be a heck of a vanity project.

If Russia is successful in Ukraine, that makes it more likely that in future China will be able to carry out the same trick in Taiwan.

We do still have leaded petrol. All piston engined aircraft are still burning fuel with added lead.

In your car crash analogy, we are now past the point where hitting the brakes will help. The car will be irrepairably destroyed and all passengers will be killed.

An interesting read, but by gosh it's a depressing one.

If it has to be shouted at you, its not news, its propaganda. But she was brave in a tight spot, for sure.

You've come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.

When you hold a vote you get suggestions like Mappy mcmapface. Actually, that could work....

No, the honey is on a sort of shelf outside and there's a box for you to put the money in. You could steal the moneybox and the honey but in civilised society it doesnt happen. This system is big for eggs around where I live - spare eggs are sold on an honesty basis at the end of driveways and if you are a really good customer you should return the eggboxes for reuse.
