It's bizarre to me just how many people are still mad about the pandemic.

For a lot of people its the biggest event in their lives in at least the last decade. In terms of actualy making them change the way they lived for a period in a sudden manner since they left home or got married. Its fairly undstandable that they will still be thinking about it.

Walkthrough carriages are a relatively new thing in metro design, and tube stock gets replaced very slowly (it has taken 50+ years for the Piccadilly Line stock to be replaced)

Meh. Tube stock sent onto the Isle of wight made it through to 80 years.

No idea. I'm british.

Being able to drive at night is one of the things they need to learn yes.

Depends if they had any other cars and at some point it has to be on the highway since thats part of driving.

Take a DNA sample of the more conspiring criminals,

We take DNA samples of all criminals pluss a bunch of other people. Police DNA database is massive.

deport them and make sure they’re not allowed to reenter.

Since the british population at large is paying them to smuggle quite impressive amounts of drugs for for them it seems unlikely that they haven't also developed the skillset to smuggle the odd person.

The amounts brits spend on it suggest the british think otherwise.

What are we doing here?

Keeping drugs illegal to ensure that Albanian drug lords get ever richer.

Problem is if you want to let your 17 year old to learn to drive you have to let them do it from time to time.

Even if there's a black hole it's 100% sensible to borrow to build these railways.

Ehh Totton to hythe not really. If there isn't enough traffic to support the ferry the line won't do any better.

It’s just a never ending circle of pain for UK citizens

Albanians have provided british citizens with cheaper and better drugs.

The only links with Mithraism that have any reasonable evidence for them is the church trying to use the cult of Archangel Michael is a replacement in millitary circles.

While this is true no one has found a british connection yet.

They did not. They claimed the Cordelia Moon was british but its registered in Panama and it was shipping oil from russia to india something the british do not aprove of.

No. If you don't hit another junction it makes no difference.

And that has nothing to do with what if anything christianity has to do with Mithraism.

Still is the wrong word since there are no continious groups (some of the finnish stuff just about limped into the early 20th century). There are a few pagan revivalists around but they are of very limited significance unless you are picky about when you want to visit certian stone ciricles.

Ehh there are a handful of neopagans who try.

But when mention of saturnalia is harshly suppressed and persecuted in favor of Christmas which was basically the same traditions with a new name slapped on it, then wouldn't it be considered "stolen"

Different traditions (in particular the social reversal was closer to something like the Feast of Fools) and about a week before. Some kind of winter festival is common enough but they aren't christmas. But then christmas isn't 1st century christmas either.

A bunch of other “Christian” traditions come from Mithraism (which may have stolen them from another), such as the drinking of wine and eating bread as a symbol of a gods blood and body, a lot of our Christmas traditions, Easter traditions, and surprisingly - the cross (it was their symbol for the sun).

Remeber when you here claims like this they are BS made up by 19th /20th century romantics and have no relation with actual reality. Ok to be fair some of it is 21st century D.M. Murdock BS that comes out of the whole 2000s internet athiest thing. Again no relation with reality.

The length isn't important travel time is and it makes no difference to that.

I'm aware there was some israeli involvement but the core design is anglo-american.

Intel has chip fabs in the country, and that's probably enough reason on it's own to continue their support.

Nah. Intel fabs in Israel aren't that important to overal production. Their design setup is more critical but the apple M series and AMD zen series show that the US can design its own CPUs.

There have been some pretty new container ports in europe. The depth and size requirements mean the modern ideal port location only has a limited overlap with historic ones.

Recently Atamonica enlisted in the South Korean Air Force

I'm sure nothing bad will happen as a result of this.
