I've had multiple doctors tell me a glass here and there is just fine.
Haven't you been listening to anything Dame Sally Davies* has been saying??!?!
(Not that I blame you - most people don't, given the crap she's come out with over the years.)
* "Chief Medical Officer for England" - UK's nearest equivalent of the Surgeon General I suppose.
She failed her eleven-plus exam but was nevertheless able to study at the private Edgbaston High School for Girls in Birmingham,[1] where she excelled on the viola.[4][5][6]
Of course not, I'm American.
Alcohol is a carcinogenic. Which is why Food Babe is often so funny (fearmongering about X chemicl used in such small quantities while she drinks organic free trade alcohol).

Do as I do, think about cancer before you have a glass of wine
Before every glass? Ain't nobody got time for that.

Cue viola jokes:
No one excels on the viola; one merely plays less badly.etc.How do you get two violists to play in tune?
Ask one of them to leave.

I would not doubt that San Francisco air legitimately causes cancer, given how every cubic inch of it smells like cigarette smoke and exhaust.

Complete marriage procession (15 cars) pulled over for several infractions including ignoring red traffic lights, driving on the left side of the road unnecessarily, blocking traffic, hanging out of the window, unnecessary use of alarm lights and claxon, and other annoying behaviour.

So what about someone without chip?
British companies are planning to microchip some of their staff in order to boost security and stop them accessing sensitive areas.
-
@JBert Technically true. If it will stop them from accessing sensitive areas, it will also be a small boost in security.

Without chip, their masturbation habits would presumably be unaffected.

The aircraft was only released after Ryanair paid a bill of $610,000.
-
@boomzilla The only thing that's unusual is the size of the bill. It's a pretty common occurence for airports to ground airplanes until outstanding bills have been paid - from what I've read, it's not uncommon for pilots having to pay for the kerosine bill in cash.
And, after all, RyanAir had four years to pay that bill.

Ten bucks says the passengers won't get reimbursed for that delay at all, or they'll get RyanAir scratch lottery tickets.
-
@topspin Since that incident happened in Europe, they will be reimbursed. RyanAir will have a precisely 0% chance of arguing that it wasn't their fault.
-
@Rhywden Or what'll happen?
RyanAir took 4 years to pay a bill that it presumably knew could result in one of its planes being seized and held as ransom. So if anyone's getting reimbursed, in any semblance of a timely fashion, there had better be some pretty severe consequences if they're not...

Easy: You have a claim for reimbursement in Europe. You can transfer this claim to another company - there are now several portals providing this service.
You tell them about your case, they'll estimate the chances of winning (in this case it's a slam dunk) and if they think they'll win, they will pay out your claim to you, minus 10%.
And then they will go after Ryan Air.Also, they'll be allowed to impound other stuff. They could, for example, impound things from the HQ in Ireland...

Or other planes, which would compound the whole problemâŚ

@Rhywden Sending loan sharks after them? Damn, that's cold...
In the US there are occasionally stories about some Joe the Plumber who goes to small claims court against some corporation, wins, and ends up having to go back to court and petition to have the judgement enforced. And then you can end up with armed sheriffs showing up at the corporation's doorstep and threatening to start immediately seizing assets if they don't see cash or check...

There's plenty of heat about. It's used for warming the though yes, the with it may be cold.

@anotherusername The German tech magazine c't once reported about someone who had a valid claim against Deutsche Telekom (just a small one, about 300âŹ). They didn't react, he went through all the proper motions and then the court officer turned up at their doorstep at their local HQ in Hannover.
Only after he had impounded several PCs and a laser printer was the money suddenly found.
The claims portals are quite successful, by the way. They're so successful that smaller airlines get problems (because the claims have a lower limit and the fares may be below this limit) and RyanAir tried to sneak in some passages about disallowing transfer of claims into their TOS.
Said attempt was slapped down with prejudice by the courts, however.

I'll be honest, my first reaction was: "Did someone tell the EU about that?"

From the summary:
[...] it should not come as a surprise that people have started wedding fictional personas. [...] Hatsune Miku is the embodiment of such strange unions, having been married to about 3,700 real people at last count
Hence it's far from the first time, but...

@TimeBandit Not surprising. I'm sure I could get into an ATM in 20 minutes by hacking with my angle grinder.

@TimeBandit I have one of those, too, but I'm learning it's easier to be precise with the grinder, and the grinder works on a much greater range of materials.

@mott555 Plus, it doesn't set the $20 bills on fire.
