Seem like menopause must be highest in 20-24 group if it's driving all these divorces.
PS: It's a bit creepy to see the 15-19yo category even exists. I had no idea anyone could get married younger that 16.

The RBL ones don't look like the ones in your pictures either.
Sadly this year's 'official' poppies are just paper (to avoid plastic waste, I assume.) But both my wife and I found ourselves walking around with a crumpled green paper 'leaf' our chest after about 2 days.

Harold Holt
17 December 1967
The 59-year-old Prime Minister of Australia disappeared, presumed drowned, while swimming at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria.[174][175][176][177] He was "simply one of the number of ordinary Australians who drown each year through poor judgment or bad luck";[178] his drowning has been described as "not unusual",[179] and as "an ordinary death, a shockingly banal one that still befalls dozens every summer."[175] Holt's disappearance gave rise to a variety of unfounded conspiracy theories](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dgz4boqf66gnmcgs57frjkwc/bafkreibkugbp6v54st6au7bbvclrjlz3pvie6upr44wbc7rgoww3uxkvse@jpeg)

I cycled to work for 20 years (4,000 miles a year) and in all that time I never spent £2,000 on all my bikes (including servicing.)

Absolutely - I will never trust a company to keep supporting any 'home automation' system.
I have paid for a few 'lifetime support' apps that promised support forever and which no longer work at all.

About 2yrs ago I realized EVERY update to a Google app made it worse and I've tried to avoid updating any of their stuff since.
For other apps I try to update them on my old phone and test them before updating.

I know the chainsaw looks quite flash, but really paying $20 billion for it? It seems overpriced.

Vodafone mobile data network is down across the UK, so my phone and home broadband are out.
However, I've worked in Tech long enough to have a spare mobile on a different network, so I'm still online !

Amazon Renewed - sounded like it might be decent place to get refurbished tech gear...
Except on 1/10 people leave a review and of those who did only 9% were positive. In other words: roughly 1 in 10 are NOT happy.
And the seller is not actually Amazon and they didn't ship my product.
