No, not just housing is mentioned but a boulevard and you cannot overlook that very important word and say the article only mentions "housing" because that is a seriously bad take on this article. By definition a boulevard is wide. It wouldn't be a boulevard if they made the road narrow by building houses on the road rather than by the side of the road, so while the article doesn't explicitly say it, by calling it "boulevards of new housing" implies that the thoroughfare does indeed remain wide, and becomes tree lined rather than car-lined.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines a boulevard as:
"A wide road in a city, usually with trees on each side or along the centre"
(And not only is a "boulevard" mentioned in the article, the article also includes a picture of what a part of Rochdale would look like. The housing is on the side of the road, and some of the car lanes have been converted to pedestrian/cycling space, and trees are added).
I don't think the idea is to build houses on the wide roads, the idea is to build them beside the wide roads but remove space for private cars and instead repurpose that space for pedestrians and cyclists (in other words, have wide pavements ideally tree lined but instead of 4 wide lanes of cars maybe 2 narrow lanes with most of the space turned over as a public space for people).
Look at it from his point of view. His plan probably went no further than the escape, so once he was off the lorry it was "Now what?" If he had a real followup plan he probably would have got much further. One of his former school mates was quoted as saying "One thing I will tell you though, he’s not a terrorist. He doesn’t know his arse from his elbow". The fact he even tried to escape (which anyone with sense would know would only make things worse) let alone do the original crime suggests he's probably not the kind who ever thinks ahead.
He had a window of about 2 hours when he could have used public transport to move around (after which too many people would be looking for him) - but during that time he has no money, and given pretty much every station in London has ticket barriers, he's not going to be getting around by train or by bus unless he can lift someone's Oyster card or contactless card without being noticed, and from quotes about his past, apart from the idiotic fake bombs that got him into this mess in the first place, he seems to be a first-time criminal, so successfully pulling off thefts or shoplifting was probably not something he was practised or good at.
After that time he's pretty much limited to travelling on foot in places where he won't get a second look, or at night. He probably found a poorly-secured bicycle on Saturday morning and gambled that people wouldn't give someone cycling down the towpath a second look, and it's faster than walking.
Debian (a very conservative distro) switched to Wayland by default in debian 10 if I'm not mistaken (we're now on 12).
I didn't notice the change until I tried to run a niche program that really needs X11. Unless you're doing this kind of thing, then you can probably just use Wayland. At least in Debian it's really easy to switch between Wayland and X11 by selecting the session type when you log in.
Why does India want this? Surely skilled workers leaving India for the UK is bad for India - far from being a price for the UK, this would enormously benefit the UK. The UK will be getting skilled workers whose education is mostly at India's expense.
I'm a bit skeptical of Brexit being significant here. Craft beer from small breweries generally isn't exported, and often it doesn't go that far from the area in which it's brewed.
All the other reasons listed (pandemic, cost of living crisis, tax rules etc) are plausible though.
Engine failure after takeoff - turning back to the airport is known as the "impossible turn". It isn't quite impossible but it is difficult to execute successfully once you add on the startle factor. An incorrectly executed "impossible turn" usually results in a low altitude stall, which is normally fatal, so generally light aircraft pilots are trained to find somewhere to put it down directly in front of the aircraft.
Engine failure on approach to land - aircraft following the standard '3 degree glideslope', this is too shallow of a glideslope for most aircraft to actually glide at without power so in the case of an engine failure the aircraft will end up short of the airfield.
Engine failure during cruise flight - aircraft diverted to EGBJ/Gloucestershire but didn't have enough altitude to quite make it there. But this also gives the most time to look for a suitable paddock to put it down in.
Mostly 80s and early 90s (I think the nodelist peaked in size in about 1991 or 1992 or thereabouts, at about 30,000 nodes - I could be wrong). It's still going by the way.
I'm sure the courts would agree it's not theft, but it really is taking the piss: a typical UK home uses on the order of 10kWh per day - and an electric car can easily take 60kWh to charge. This isn't like charging a mobile phone which is basically noise - it can mean someone staying for 5 days can easily end up using twice what the reasonable expectation for electricity use was.
Having said that, if I were the owner of a holiday home, I'd probably install a proper electric car charger as a selling point and I'm sure it would be possible to set the daily rate for the property to cover the cost of charging a car.
.rar is an awful proprietary format that needs to die, and die soon. You should NEVER use .rar files when sending files to others due to its closed proprietary nature.
.zip is preferable because everyone can handle it by default. 7z is OK because nearly everyone can handle it by default and it is an open format.
If you mean starting at a minimal starting point and only installing what you need, then you may as well start off with a minimal Debian netinst, then add the stuff you want once you've got the minimal system installed.
