If you get stuck, ask for help. Explain what your thinking is, and how you plan to tackle things, and explain what help you need to solve your issue. If you get the job, your employer can work with you if they know you'll ask for assistance when you need it - they expect to provide training or helpful oversight to any new starter. In the interview test, they are checking your basic knowledge, and also whether you are teachable.

This happened because your visa claim should have been 'stolen card details/fraud' but it was put through as 'food not delivered' instead. Either your card issuer didn't understand what was needed, or else it was poorly described to them. And you can't claim twice on the same transaction.

Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar's worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100's of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it'd be a heck of a vanity project.

If Russia is successful in Ukraine, that makes it more likely that in future China will be able to carry out the same trick in Taiwan.

We do still have leaded petrol. All piston engined aircraft are still burning fuel with added lead.

In your car crash analogy, we are now past the point where hitting the brakes will help. The car will be irrepairably destroyed and all passengers will be killed.

Banks are experts at providing loans. Car dealerships should be expert at selling cars. Asking the car dealer to be a bank is like trying to buy a telescope from a hat shop.

No, but thanks for the offer.

You've come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.

The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell 'usage' the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

If you are polite to a potential scammer on the phone or on the internet, you are giving them a chance to persuade you into being scammed. Block at will.

I'm in the UK and youtube blocked it for me too. I used windscribe a free VPN to pretend I was in the US and it showed fine.
