Detectives say they have a number of ‘unanswered questions’ about the ‘unusual and complex’ incident
It was discovered after the driver went to a takeaway in Shaw , Oldham , with serious facial injuries.
He said he had been assaulted and his lorry had been stolen.
Firefighters were then called to a blaze on Huddersfield Road, in Newhey , between Wicken Hall and Cherry Top Farm.
Police say ‘a large amount of fumes’ were coming from the lorry and once the flames had been extinguished, and the truck had been moved out of the road, a ‘significant amount’ of cannabis was found in the trailer.

No, it was actually colder in Jacksonville, Florida, than it was in Anchorage, Alaska, on Tuesday.
Several of Alaska's northern and central towns experienced some of their hottest months of December on record.
On Tuesday, the Merrill Field Airport in Anchorage recorded a temperature of 48F (9C) - higher than almost anywhere in the Lower 48 states.
Antarctica's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station recorded a temperature on Tuesday of -12 (-24.5C)F, just one degree warmer than Indianapolis, Indiana.

Experts have said that the fix could slow down the performance of computers by up to 30% but Intel played this down, saying that "for the average user, performance impacts should not be significant and will be mitigated over time".
The flaw is also likely to affect major cloud computing platforms such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure and Google, according to The Register, which broke news of the bug.

Really? Since Ryzen came out AMD's been competitive for the first time in years. For the first time in a decade at least, I'd consider an AMD machine now.

For example, Mukhande Singh, the founder of Live Water, told the publication his startup's water expired after a few months — something he said was normal for "real water."
"It stays most fresh within one lunar cycle of delivery," Singh said. "If it sits around too long, it'll turn green. People don't even realize that because all their water's dead, so they never see it turn green."
That is actually true. Water decays over several months into dihydrogen monoxide and hydrogen hydroxide. Hydrogen is an explosive, the hydroxide ion is highly reactive, and we all know carbon monoxide is a deadly poison. Do you really want to be drinking a mixture of reactive ions, explosives, and half of a deadly poison?quoting from the linked article (above), Sheikh al-Majaneen wrote:For example, Mukhande Singh, the founder of Live Water, told the publication his startup's water expired after a few months — something he said was normal for "real water."

My water company filters water through the alluvial beds lining the Ohio. I'm assured by a source that it doesn't really need treatment. They treat it anyway.

I'm working on a detector that can tell the relative quantities of water, dihydrogen monoxide, and hydrogen hydroxide, to give an indication of when water should be discarded. I just need a little more funding to get the first prototypes ready.
