There is a much better option than the trackpad mac or otherwise built in ;-)

brexit means brexit /s

In seriousness, wasn't Storm Ciara named by Met Éireann ? that was certainly my impression, given that most people in the UK struggled to pronounce it. So there is some unification between The Met offices of Ireland and the UK with regard to naming.

not sure where you live but atm, in the UK, the range of non-alcoholic beers is superb. Off the top of my head:

* Brew-dog Nanny State

* Erdinger blue

* big drop pale ale

* big drop stout

* Franziskaner 0.5

* adnams ghost ship

are all available in my local Tesco and all pretty great.

Almost every bar now has the usual alcohol free becks/heineken - but i must admit, like their lagers, they are pretty grim drinks, but i am finding that more and more are stocking nanny state or erdinger

I've also read it, for anyone thinking about buying it, i think it can be completely summarised by:

'checklists are very very good. You should really use checklists'

Now if you require further info on why they are good, by all means read the book, i just found it was a blog-post, if not a tweet, expanded to a book, YMMV.

Yeah, except this was never their orginal plan.

There _is_ a $5 computer (i think the zero still costs that in microcenters). But that was never the original plan

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

is that the actual quote? Maybe not enough coffee on my part but i am having difficulty with it.

By eliminating impossible, which strikes me a fairly redundant thing to do, we are left with probable and improbable?

Your post could have been written by:

- Kurtz79 (probable)

- Marlow79 using your login for REASONS (possible but improbable)

- Elon Musk using your login for REASONS(possible but improbable)

- Stephen Hawking (impossible)

- Queen Victoria (impossible)

etc ...

do we really need to eliminate all the impossible? i'm not sure it really moves us along finding the OP, even if we do.

[european here] I can't read this article as there is no way to opt-out of the tracking - isn't this in breach of GDPR?
