sooooo… vpn should point to Portugal…

almost certainly

You mean there is a chance 🤑 💰 /s

Queen moves into a space that stops king from moving as you cannot move into a check. It’s a forced draw.

But humans will still be able to live… Right?.. Right?..

This is pretty fucked up…

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

Isn’t this mostly showing that females have longer lifespans and in countries where they have weird preference for boys, the skew towards male?

Ai magic money tree will keep printing money out of nothing and we save on headcount!

Ah thank you for the clarification, I assumed it would be more flamethrower based based on the videos I seen, but never looked at it.

Not with thermite, it spreads flammable liquid everywhere. Look for “dragon” drone videos if you want. Zombies are unlikely to try to to jump over the burning fluid and if anything probably will spread it further and on themselves so eventually will burn. It’s probably one of thepre effective remote ways to deal with them in modern warfare. Especially since drones are bloody loud so zombies are more likely to chase the drones instead of operators who can be entirely hidden.

Ukrainian thermite drones would like to have a word

I mean given that you get arrested for a showing a blank piece of paper and sent to prison/gulag… Do you really think that de-annonymised people would put their opinions forward?

But also in the west where we don’t have quite such a police state, we still do have many people who vote against their interests until their own interests are being affected…

Moral of the story… Humans suck

My favourite part from this story covered on another site was

Howells says that if only the council had entertained his excavation requests, “Newport would look like Dubai.” Currently, it still looks like Newport.
