Same here.

I'm guessing US only.

The name just reminds me of the film. So I just assume that like the film the site is nightmare fuel and avoid it.

I use zerotier for that kind of stuff, mostly because it runs native on my router (mikrotik) and is zero config so easy to run on a random mobile device I might have on me.

It's a thing online.. Black Friday week still happens, where they try to get rid of the tat that didn't sell to clear space for christmas shopping.

Physical stores have basically given up I think.

I think it's plausible he will actually pull X out of the EU completely and concentrate on the US. Banking regulations around the world vary greatly and I can't see him wanting to handle all that.

I've never seen it despite doing nothing special beyond my normal ad blocking.. it's a partial rollout I think.

TBH that doesn't surprise me.. I had a minor spat over the existence of a local supermarket, of all the stupid things.. Wiki said it had been refused planning permission and never built. I had shopped in there many times, and could link to many articles about the fully built existing supermarket. I gave up after the second revert because it's just not worth it.

Clearly he can't handle the truth..

And 1066. I can't remember what actually happened then but the year is burned into my brain.

Lots of henry VIII and of course the gunpowder plot every year in November.

Citroen ec3 is 20k although you're not likely to see in the US I suspect.

"She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain; the formerly enslaved Olaudah Equiano, who became an abolitionist and writer; Mary Seacole, who provided sustenance and care for British soldiers during the Crimean war, and the composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor."

I've literally never heard of any of these people.. schools don't cover them - I couldn't name any white romans either from the UK.. Obviously I've heard of some of the emperors, but that's it.

I've yet to see a remote website that'll send me 1gbps continuously except a speed test.. and whilst it's nice to see big numbers on those, it isn't really justifying the cost.

Even things like microsoft and steam stuff throttle far lower than that (presumably because they don't want a million people trying to hit them for 1gbps constantly).

Once my minimum term is up on this link I can get a 1.6Gpbs one, but probably won't bother.
