That's a serious design flaw. The battery in my laptop has been dead for about four years, but I only ever need it on the mains anyway. I'd be annoyed if I'd had to scrap it four years ago though.

Exactly, which is one of the reasons I didn't buy a Pro 4 this time round.

We're getting dumber as a species, there's just no doubt.

Cliff Williams Will Retire After AC/DC’s Current Tour

Quote:
Bassist Cliff Williams, the second-longest tenured member of AC/DC, will retire after the band’s troubled tour in support of Rock or Bust. In the end, it seems the loss of three bandmates in quick succession was more than Williams could take.

“It’s been what I’ve known for the past 40 years, but after this tour I’m backing off of touring and recording,” Cliff tells Gulfshore Life. “Losing Malcolm [Young], the thing with Phil [Rudd] and now with Brian [Johnson], it’s a changed animal. I feel in my gut it’s the right thing.”

Only Angus left! Time to wrap it up.

Surely "black lives matter" is racist and "all lives matter" is not racist... :?

What is with cuacasian, Asian, Indian and other "coloured" ethnicities? Do their lives matter less than "blacks"? You can't fight racism with more racism.

The argument is apparently that events have suggested that since black people have been the victims int he majority of what the public believe to be unjustified homicides by the police. therefore evente suggest Black lives matter less than those of other races. There's a logic to that argument but in attempting to 'own' the issue in this way, it becomes about race, when in fact it should be about making their police forces properly responsible for their actions generally and ensuring if you give someone a gun and (essentially) give them the right to shoot people int he street with it, you d better make sure a) you do it for the right people and b) you properly train them.

BTW,If you think there's nobody playing identity politics with this, consider the fact here was a 'Black Lives Matter' March in Manchester at the weekend. A city in which no black person has ever been shot by a police officer as far as I can find out and indeed one where there have been more police officers shot by civilians in the last 30 years than vice versa.
