They’re pretty bad mostly they’re actual Nazis too. Fortunately they have the combined intellect of a cantaloupe so they don’t really pose much of a problem. Mostly they’re just loud and irritating.

They’re very vocal minority I’m not quite sure why a beer company would really want anything to do with them. The PR fallout doesn’t seem like it could remotely be worth it.

Yeah, there was a BBC documentary with him in it, and they actually demonstrate this. Various scammers are arrested and even sentenced, and then for some totally innocent reason a mistrial gets called, and it all has to go to trial again, and surprise surprise in the intervening time the police have managed to lose all of the evidence.

The only good thing about that whole case was that when they were arrested the scammers faces were broadcast all over national television in both India and the UK. Not that been shown in the UK will do everything, but I’m sure they don’t have a great time in India because the locals hate them. Oh and also when the police are showing off their scammers, for some reason they make them hold hands with the police. It’s really funny how unhappy they look about it.

Leprosy famously has a very low R0 value. Low enough that it’s really surprising that it was ever considered an epidemic.

If I traveled 100 years into the future I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still using USB-C. A different version of USBC but it’ll still be the same cable, the only reason they would upgrade to another cable is if they decided for some reason that it needed to be able to carry enough current to vaporize you.

Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that’s how it works.

The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn’t a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.

Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god’s sake.

They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they’re bought off, and the central government doesn’t really care that much, so they don’t do anything about it.

If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There’s a reason they’re all in the same part of India and it’s because the police in that area have been bought off.

Yeah I used to be guilty of this. Although in slight defense of myself I never used to use random sites like that I always used to pull everything from Google CDN since I can’t see that changing hands.

They may very well shut it down without warning, but they’re probably not going to sell it to anyone.

Pretty well paid then

Pretty asymmetric that isn’t it. On one side you have a nation that is rapidly running out of, well basically everything, and on the other side you’ve got an alliance of nation states which contain among many other things the largest most powerful military on the planet.

Finally the nation that is running out of resources is now getting military support from quite possibly the worst place they could get it from.

It’s going to be one of those ridiculous situations that only happens in Civilization, where you’re bombing cavemen with nukes because your adversary has failed to advance through the tech tree fast enough.

I will never understand why the American military think it’s a good idea to send them tanks that are so complicated. Especially when they’re going up against cold war era relics.

The best tactic Ukraine could have at this point would just be to encourage the North Koreans to defect. Can’t imagine it’ll be particularly difficult, “hey switch sides and we won’t kill you, and here’s a free house with electricity, water and indoor plumbing”.

It would be like trying to convince people to leave the 15th century.

I’m sure that will be really helpful, I bet they’re really well trained and have lots of modern equipment that isn’t just painted wood.

I can’t tell if you’re a stooge or if you really think that. I hope you are stooge, because otherwise that’s a really stupid position you’ve decided to take and you clearly don’t actually understand the issue.

Oh how very 1D chess of him. I’m not sure he’s capable of a tactic that sophisticated, personally I’m of the opinion he’s just that useless.

He really really needs to shut up. Every time the moron opens his mouth he says the wrong thing.

As a general rule of thumb whatever side of the argument Kemi Badenoch is on, is the wrong side.

What I really want to happen here is for him to win his seat. And then he has to resign causing a by-election resulting in a Labour win.

It would be his final coup de grace just to reaffirm in everyone’s minds what an utterly useless prime minister he was.

Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.

Wow, thank God for that expert analysis.

Yeah but if you’re only putting 8 GB of RAM on then you’re also going to be constantly querying the hard drive. So any performance gain you get from soldering, is lost by going all the way to the hard drive every 3 microseconds.

It’s only better performance on paper in reality there’s no real benefit. If you can run an application entirely entirely within the 8 GB of RAM, and assuming you’re not running anything else, then maybe you get better performance.

When you think about it that’s true of a lot of them. They make a huge amount of noise it is to be sure but they don’t really achieve anything.

Look at Jacob Reese Mogg, he seems pretty relevant, important within the party, and influential in politics in general, yet he’s done bugger all. His entire career in politics essentially was him just appearing on television and being a twat, and backing whatever brain dead policy the conservatives have come up with on that particular day. All he achieved was to make everyone hate him. The exact opposite of what a PR representative is supposed to do.

Imagine being minister for equality in the conservative party.

That’s an oxymoron if I’ve already heard one. Although perhaps her job is simply to increase the inequality since that lines with conservative views.
