Let me guess which other country with "United" in its name slows the data the other way.

Has their reliability improved at all?

Have you seen pictures of the original "beehive" terminal at Gatwick Airport? That is quite lovely, and a clever way to integrate the lookout tower into the design.

I've just found out that Herbie Flowers died in September 2024 and I'm sad that his death passed me by, considering his prolific contribution to the global music scene.

This ... works.

Really? Wow.

Notice how you don't often see pork cat food.
Too much like human meat?

Wasn't there are Star Trek episode where the creator of a battle computer tried to teach it morals and... it didn't go well?
