A tesla is perfect trebuchet ammo, imagine how pissed your local lord would be when he comes under assault from huge lumps of shit that self ignight.

The same shell game these companies are currently playing trading stock for rapidly depreciatibg assets then borrowing heavily against those assets which each unit represents a daily liability because they operate at a loss. When the investment capital runs out all these companies operating overheads will kill them in days/weeks, and the hardware they actually own, which loses about a third of its value vs purchase price upon first install, will flood the 2nd hand market at probably 5-10% it’s current value.

As usual panic in the markets will be driver of a fast crash. Nothing is certain but this is currently the most likely outcome based on past precedent of such a large majority of all investment capital being funnelled into something with such low (negative in this case) economic productivity.

Every time I start to forgive labour enough to vote for them next time to keep reform out they find a new reason to make me stay home.

What a fucking fail party.

Edit: I’m fine with mandatory ID for citizens, but with the UKs history of building digital services rolling this out to be digital first will almost certainly be a total disaster

Lesbians… Those bitches be (statistically) crazy

As someone who got to this level of fame later in their career he’s probably also been smart with his money and is now set for life freeing him up to act like a normal person.

My instant reaction to this was an overwhelming sense of vice city nostalgia

Doing so invoked the star wars cantina music for me

The UK government as effectively ignored all protests since the poll tax riots. The choice seems either start acting like the French or just sit down and shut up.

TNG, Voyager… Rough first seasons leading to excellent series

Linux phone will hopefully become realistic thing.

But the more this goes on the more my attitude has changed. I now do far less on my phone, I’m more careful about what I expose to it. As a result I spend very little time on it and that’s been great.

To be clear I hate what’s happening, it’s just been working out to improve my time.

Man you are doing <insert deity>'s work there

I really agree early federation is very untapped, and despite it’s flaws I liked enterprise and consider it a mostly successful experiment in the franchise. Archer was a great character in terms of bringing up the early fundamentals of the federation but having to operate without having it’s often overwhelming force behind him.

I’m totally against the proscription, but the individual idiots who broke into the base vandalised 2 air tankers with no link to Palestine, but would provide a critical role in the event Russia decided to threaten the UK with nuclear subs.

It was such a dumb move, it’s hard to believe it wasn’t a Russian op using PA as cover.

You can get split cables that have jack and a USB C. But yes it sucks.

Although… One silver lining I’ve found from being forced to convert the USB to 3.5 is that I now get to pick and chose different dac cables, and there are some pretty big differences.

That’s pretty much the same as described above with a marginally earlier exit strategy.

COVID made this accurate

Sometimes it’s hard to believe these people are real. It almost makes more sense they exist to make the left appear completely toxic to everyone, including left leaning people.

I hope that’s the case anyway and all the above is just a lot of over analysing, cos man, they suck.

Being destabilised by Putin’s puppets.

They can’t negotiate for anything in case they actually get it and have to back down on the self destruction. The self destruction is the goal, and to make some money alone the way…

Maybe the younger ones still elastic brains were just too vulnerable

E: Usenet, irc, forums etc were like an early training ground hardening us against the purveyors of bullshit. When bullshit became the business of billionaire corporations online we were ready for it. They never had a chance…
