I said this to my uncle once “me and my dad bought stuff at auction then probably spent more fixing it up than it was worth”. He said “but it helped you didn’t it?”, yeah it definitely did. Fixing stuff definitely helps the soul, if it helps you, do it and don’t worry about the cost.

I am also confused what is wrong with this, but English was not my strong point!

They are technically correct!

It’s another attack on families on the margins of society. I am sure Kier will abstain from doing anything.

Batman, tries to solve the cities problems by getting himself a load of expensive toys.

Or the police weren’t wearing their uniforms???

I would say I’m reasonable at picking up hints, usually takes me about 4-10 years though.

In 2015, Indiana’s then-governor, Mike Pence, signed a law making the state’s immunity law retroactive to Aug. 26, 1999, four days before the city of Gary initially filed its lawsuit.

How can you sign a retroactive law? Essentially making things legal which were illegal when they were committed and what about criminalising things which were legal? Could people be prosecuted for things that became crimes after they did them?

I am really interested in small scale farm automation but not 3k interested! Keep meaning to automate irrigation which would save me a lot of time watering but not cost too much. Cnoc farming would be a fun project though

Thank you for your hard work. I feel that a delay of a few hours is acceptable for a voluntary service. I am sure there are many commercial services which have much worse communication.

I personally feel that being able to discuss piracy but banning communities that have links that actively promote piracy seems like a sensible safe legal position. This is probably what I would do if there was even a possibility I might be legally liable for an instance.

I can understand users frustration but I don’t think it’s fair to take it out on the admins. It is a thankless task which people do to benefit their community. The great thing with the fediverse is that you have other low cost options to turn to if an instance no longer works for you.

I think the credit card companies cover that usually. I suppose the question is if you are in the UK hacking a US account where is the crime taking place?

Israel should have to pay for its crimes

Yeah I mean the language of grooming and exploitation tends not to be associated with hacking. However a 14 yo without any friends and a difficult home life starts getting admiration from a peer group for hacking into systems could soon lead to them getting drawn into greater illegal acts to gain approval.

While it has real consequences, I think hacking can feel a little less real than breaking into a bank, especially for kids. I am certain if the money spent by the authorities in 52 years incarceration was invested into rehabilitation, society would benefit much more.

Should he be tried in the country he committed the alleged crimes?

Plan for oil corporations

They just DONT KNOW!

We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.

Mum: we’re definitely going the wrong way

Me: how do you know?

Mum: because we need to go south and we are currently going north

Me: how do you know we are going north?

Mum: because the sun sets in the west

Me: oh…

I don’t think it’s free but it is free-er . You have an admittedly shitty balance of power between politicians who want to be voted for and capitalists who want to make money and voter/consumers. The population, who as a collective, want excellent public and private services with low prices/ taxes and generally not too concerned how that happens. Don’t get me wrong there are lots of fantastic people in the world and most people I meet I think are genuinely decent. A person is smart but people are dumb.
