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.

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.

Swearing is brilliant if you smash your thumb with a hammer, or break something expensive. If you swear all the time in normal conversation you don't have any special words left to use when those things I mentioned happen.

I had an objection to google pay for a while, and discovered Barclaycard (credit card in the uk) use an app which would act as a replacement for google pay. Worked perfectly. Of course then I found out how terrible barclays bank is for the environment, so I tap my co-op credit card now. Interestingly, google pay takes nothing when you use them to buy stuff, Applepay grab 0.25% as a transaction fee. Makes them billions per year, and the cost is shared by all of us.
