Re: don't forget - 2CV spark-plugs and *proper* BMWs

Netflix to crack down on account sharing, offer ad-laden cheaper options

Re: GREEEEEED

How is Netflix defining sharing? My use case - all the famalam in one house (for now) using Netflix/Prime on multiple devices. The key here is that all devices share the same connection (except on (a) mobile device(s) that might not be WiFi connected).

Talk about a ticket to ride... London rail passengers hear pr0n grunts over PA system

Thank you for correcting my glowing ('scuse the pun) error.

The more disturbing point post Chernobyl aftermath was the fact that it took one of the Scandinavian countries to detect the radiation before the accident was made public by the (then) Soviet Union!

Re: Kim or Ken?

Well, quite. But they didn't know that reinsertion of fuel rods in the RBMK reactor would cause a power surge - that bit (learned at the RBMK at Ingalina) was kept quiet until Legasov's (the chief investigator post event) suicide....
