You might not see them made in India on the label since the tablet is assembled in UK but the API (the molecule that actually does the job) and additives might be sourced elsewhere. China and India produce a lot of them. They might also sell precursors later used to make API in UK so there might be always some contribution form India / China etc.

    The thing for me about mapy is not that they have fantastic database but layout of their maps - it's one of a few easily readable maps out there and unfortunately, especially for biking/trekking. I've tried alternatives but they're miserable most of the time.

    Fun fact: Windows XP had cool day 0 loophole that saved my my ass. Once I decided to explore new options and I stumbled upon new and cool feature: setting a password. The only issue with it was that I've forgotten it half an hour later. I already knew 'admin' word so I used it in hackerman style and I logged in and I was able to reverse old password. This loophole was patched with first service pack but I still giggle when I remind myself of that.

    The reason behind bottled water is a mixture of bad taste, hardness and lack of trust for watter supply (age related thing). Hence why additional filters have become somewhat popular (from small bottles with built-in filters that you fill on the go up to large separate installations that filter water for entire house). Everything depends on type of water available in certain areas. Cities by the mountains are the best in that aspect as they are often supplied with water directly from the mountains.

    The issue with your original comment is that it's simplified on many levels beyond what is acceptable. China has companies working on delivering highest financial output regardless of other citizens and their rights to have fair share in produced goods. They are by no means controlled by workers (why would they accept e. g. 996?) nor creating fair rules to others economically (e.g. Taobao and their alghorims pushing many sellers to sell bellow profitable levels just to maintain visibility on their site). Put it also into wider perspective: China started to move forward in quality of life only after Deng. US system is by no means bad but it doesn't make Chinese one perfect.

    I believe it's just US thing, I literally never happened to hear that they cancel something that they pledged to secure, not wanting to accept certain claim - that happens regularly but not saying outright to cancel important part of the deal

    With Sanchez gone we've got Philips and Davies as backup CB until January. Hopefully no major injuries to the starting pair🤞

    On the side note, I'm still feeling bad about booing out the guy at home. He had pretty good and bad moments while wearing Spurs's shirt. Shouldn't be that harsh on him.
