Eww, no you can't have women being superheros! They're just supposed to stand around shouting "hayelp! hayelp!" and being rescued by the burly chap in the improbable costume. Surely everybody knows that?

For the avoidance of doubt, this is very much /s

Net approval at a point in time is the percentage of voters who approve minus the percentage of voters who disapprove, it's not a delta from an earlier reading.

For net approval to be negative, more people must disapprove then approve.

That, or having bought their first property long enough ago, and in the right place, that it's appreciated massively more than the place in the country that they've got their eye on. The property ladder is, possibly was, a thing.

First aid is what keeps the casualty alive long enough for second aid. Second aid is trained medical profesionals working in a medical setting, so a hospital or even the ambulace crew that take over after you stopped the casualty leaking too much.

As others have said, shiw that you're dependable and don't mess the vendor around. A few other points that come to mind:

  • Be ready and able to confirm you have financing in place, whether that's sufficient cash or pre-approval for a mortgage.

  • Know when you want to move, but be prepared to be a little flexible so they can manage their dates too.

  • Know who's going to be your conveyancing solicitor, let them know you're planning to buy, and have their contact details ready for the vendor or agent.

  • It'll probably be the agent showing you around, and if so they probably won't know much detail about the property, but they can usually find out afterwards.

  • If you're going to make an offer, don't hang about, they'll be showing multiple prospective buyers around either on the same day or the surrounding days. If you like it, make an offer within a few hours of seeing it. You can state that the offer is pending certain information (the things the agent couldn't tell you) and the survey, but don't leave the vendor hanging.

I'm pretty sure the supreme court ruling was carefully worded to not require them to bring him back, but 'fascilitate' his return, which gave them enough wiggle room to say they wouldn't stop his return, so they were in conpliance. It was a lower court tgat required his return, the supreme court ruling overrode that.

Punctuation: is important. (note to self)
Punctuation is "import ant" (what?)

What the law says, and what gets enforced are, unfirtunately, sometimes very different things. Sometimes that works in your favor, sometimes it doesn't.

Yes. We normally count in 'base 10', which means each digit can go from 0 to 9 as we count up, then the digit to its left increases by one. The rightmost position is the units, the next the tens (because we use base 10), the next hundreds (or 10 times 10), and so on, with each position worth 10 times the one to its right. So the number 12 means you have 2 units plus 1 ten. 123 means 3 units, 2 tens, and 1 hundred.

Binary is 'base 2', so as we count up each digit can only go from 0 to 1 before incrementing the position to its left, and each position is worth 2 times the one to its right. So 1 still means one, but 10 is 0 units plus 1 two, and 100 is 0 units, 0 tens and 1 four, totalling 4.
