That might be the perfect example for what I said. You have bought a cheap product that you ended up liking and when it tears up you are paying literally twice for the same product.

It is not that tou took a bad decision or that the buying twice applies to everyone everywhere and everything, it just says you are in fact paying twice for the same thing while some research might have saved that.

Don't take me wrong, this is not criticism, I've done it a thousand times but in my experience, for something I consider might REALLY need, get the good (not the best) option first.

For me actually the other way Around. There is a saying in Spain that says "el pobre siempre paga dos veces" that translates as "the poor always pays twice".

It refers to the fact that you buy something cheap that barely covers the need and after it breaks you are forced to buy the good one. This is specially important for hand tools or similar.

In my opinion, for using it a couple times is better renting/asking someone to let you use theirs. For several uses it is almost always better paying more for a better use and higher resell value.

That isn't an Issue, jet. But it could be in the long run.

The fact that the EU haven't taken measures in that matter doesn't mean it will not do it in the future.

That is absolutely correct but you could bend the join requirements to force the adoption even against the euro requirements criteria. You can even talk about skipping the line under some specific requirements.

The EU lets some of the members keep their currency because they are not that important to the gross number. Everyone knows the game they are playing but looks elsewhere. I am sure the Pound was always a problem and you have to consider again that UK never accept the Euro in the first place. I am pretty sure the way can be found to force the pound out and if not, they will be required to at least go the sweden way to keep it at the expense of "cheating". It is a huge difference in political terms.

During Brexit negotiations it was cristal clear who had the hight ground and the UK had to comply to a lot of their red lines.

I understand that the pound would be an absolute moral need for the UK, but for me It would be the first thing that would be demanded to drop. A UK in eurozone would be key to the strength of the Euro.

If the UK is smart the fighting ring would be the London City privileges. That's where money is.

But ultimately I do agree that they would keep some small things but to the eyes of the other members, they must be "punished" in all the other important areas just to keep the flock together.

Just to clarify for anyone reading: these are opinions, not facts.

They would absolutely get allowed back. They were one of the most important economic and military powers in the EU.

But you are absolutely right in the whole "deal" thing. No pound, yes Schengen, no national exceptions, no fishing great deals and of course, EU military is a must. No more veto to the joint military for sure.

After that is clear, they would be allowed back for sure. Maybe they can keep the password as a gesture.

This is just sideways related, but considering how difficult is making anything because of the word "ITAR" it is absolutely normal EU is trying to go away as fast as possible from EEUU tech and companies and is regulating their behaviour here.

Firefox nightly working lime a charm. I would rather download any video I want to see than using the shitty native app.

Three one minute adds was enough for me.
