e: nm, I was wrongJel Shaker posted:we stole the entire gold reserve of Venezuela a couple years back, maybe that’s it That wouldn't explain why the imports are double of the exports. This is a fun list though: In 2021, United Kingdom was the world's biggest exporter of Hard Liquor ($7.74B), Antiques ($556M), Collector's Items ($394M), Scrap Nickel ($116M), and Scrap Lead ($94.6M) Private Speech has issued a correction as of 15:48 on Dec 19, 2023 |

22.7% export of cars to USA. I am guessing this is mostly Jaguar Land Rover.

I've never had an iPhone and had to look up what iMessage wasquote:According to a survey from Piper Sandler from Fall 2023, 87% of teenagers in America have iPhones.[85] Claims have been made that the app's use of different colors for messages using iMessage's protocol vs SMS fallback has contributed to social exclusion among some teens.[86][87] A study by car insurance company Jerry also found that "young iPhone users who make money don’t seem to date someone who is using an Android device. Some users said that they don’t even text someone who didn’t have an iPhone." Americans are terrible

So that King Chuck wouldn't get his poor botty bounced. And even then it was only with sand. Because gently caress you plebs.

anyone who wands to rant and rage about 4x4 drivers should come to Northern Ireland this winter , where not only is there no money for potholes but they are not going to be able to afford to grit the roads. So basically driving anything smaller than a tractor is going to be insta-death.
