I was half expecting this, but has come sooner than I thought. 
I'm not sure if this is going to be a good move or not, looks like Honda will be forced to pay the debt held by Nissan.

Is there a way to set up a simple will without going to a lawyer?

Of course, it must be a legally valid will!

$23. 50 an hour, the smallest since the 1990's & 20% less than recommended. For the second year in a row...

Its to be hoped that this is them digging their own political grave ever deeper, making them a one term govt.

I was always wary of this browser extension that is promoted all over youtube.
Here is the scam all exposed.

I can't even begin to comprehend exactly how they manage to justify this to themselves or to anyone else, but it must involve some mental gymnastics.

This is blatant & deliberate misogyny.

LEAVE NOW, all women of child bearing age in South Carolina.

Are there still people out there who use PC gaming systems?
I built up my current one about 8 years ago and it's still going strong.
I am now considering an upgrade.
I haven't kept up with the technology during that time.
To avoid doing a heap of research I thought I would cheat and ask for advice on here.
The system will be Intel and have the ability to run a 32'' 4k monitor at up to 100 frames.
I am happy with my current case and cooling system, so I'm looking for recommendations for motherboard, memory, CPU.
I can work out the other bits myself.
In the past I have found the motherboard to be the hardest choice. 

Thanks

Although, from a govt which has already reduced the cost & quality of school lunches, reduced benefits, cut school bus service in some rural areas, cut support for foodbanks & doles out tax breaks to those doing very nicely thank you, cut the health budget & not bothered to employ half graduating nurses, fired over 9000 public servants & frozen social housing projects, we can hardly have expected them to suddenly exhibit their spirit of Xmas & goodwill to all, especially since its abundantly clear that they appear to be entirely lacking in that particular department...
