He can pay it then. With the interest it would have knocked up since 2016.




actually heard a story where someone made an allegation

Reposting things like this doesn’t help - people will pick up this as fact. Unless you can prove it, don’t post it.



I want to be able to print my calendar!





Strange, but when someone with brown skin says they are listening to god or obeying god’s will, they’re a terrorist.

We need to remove religious zealots (of any flavour) from politics.



It’s almost like he’s given up.

Personally I think they are both too old but the Dems should have put up somebody with a bit of fire in them. Really shown that they are serious.

Am from UK but taking a close interest here as it’s not just the US this will affect. It has repercussions around the world. The slimy git Farage got in here because of his trumpist views, and has emboldened him and his followers.




Obligatory eye-roll.

Do you use Arch by any chance?

PS. Two of my machines run Endeavour OS, the other MX XFCE ;-)


As @leetnewb says, nothing out of the extraordinary here. I think the issue is that it’s Boeing. It seems quite fashionable to find fault with them lately. Sometimes justifiably so. Maybe not in this case though unless we see multiple instances of the same model and fault.


Especially when there are billionaires from your country. Not having a dig at India especially. We have a few in UK. One of them is married to our millionaire prime minister.


In a word, no. They are focused on the Adobe name. A bit like Apple, lots of good alternatives but who wants to be seen with a ‘insert non fashionable name here’ phone. There was a time when Adobe was king, not anymore though.


This. No amount of excuses or lengthy explanations. It’s childish and unprofessional.



From the article

This would make charging phones, laptops, and even electric cars much more efficient and convenient.



We need to come down hard on these bastards. We need to set examples because if it was one of ours doing the same in China or Russia, they’d be in a forced labour camp for 20 years. Jail the bugger, vigorously interrogate him and then trade him in a few years after he’s sampled the delights of the US prison system.




Thing is, if it’s non toxic, then it’s possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.

Wonder how long it’ll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.

Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let’s just hope they didn’t use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!


Will they take notice? Will Hamas stop if Isreal does? Of only there were some sort of international organisation with the guts and willpower to stop these sorts of events.


Hopefully. Disgusting company selling cheap and nasty tat that helping fuel the disgraceful practice of fast fashion. They should be closed down and the owners jailed and assets stripped.




Yeah, that shouldn’t be a thing. Ought to be left to the host nation. We don’t want Chinese law in Europe - or anywhere else for that matter.


Why on earth would they need Chinese policemen? Is there a problem with Chinese tourists or a disproportionate number of Chinese immigrants that would require such a presence? Sounds like they are looking for tips on how to keep tabs on people. With all the downsides that will generate.




I don’t buy it at all. I think religion is a cancer that the human race needs to eradicate as soon as possible.

The fact that they call themselves God’s chosen people should ensure they have standards far and above everyone else.

They are just as shitty as the ‘bad guys’.



Exactly. God’s chosen people often turn out to be just as shitty as the ‘bad’ guys.

They all use religion as an excuse for their shitty behaviour. I still don’t understand because it’s the same God.


What if you were conscripted into the medical corps? Or if you were military veterinary staff?

Not all military personnel serve on the front line.



Thanks - and it’s no doubt intended and they might has well named it Fuhrer, but we need to stay better than them.


Have to play devil’s advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We’d be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn’t adopt their practices. We’re supposed to be better than that.
