Most likely it's got poor security and has been compromised to use as part of a DDOS network. ie. Someone has taken it over to use your bandwidth (and tens of thousands of other people's) to sell on the dark web as a service to attack others on the internet.

So it turns out that it's not a lack of women giving them a bad attitude - it's their bad attitude giving them a lack of women. Who'd have thought.

Smoking's already dramatically fallen out of popularity with younger people, being replaced by vaping. So I don't think it really matters what they do at this point - smoking's a dinosaur waiting to die.

"Personal reasons". If they continue to pry just say it's extemely personal and hopefully they'll back off.

That's just how good you are.

Sounds like treason to me.

When's someone going to have the balls to charge him with it, and then sentence him to death for it?

They're not wrong that democracy's under threat. But maybe the threat's from the guy who has literally said he's going to murder political opponents - y'know, the guy they support.

I'm Australian and the one that really gets me is when Americans refer to indigenous Australians as "African American" because of their skin colour. They're in no way from Africa or America, but nice job appropriating our native people.

Close... That moon's called LV426

I mean he should know since he was one of the people paying to influence the election.

In my country that means you wouldn't respect (for instance) ordinary people who've paid off a house. 1 million isn't as much money as it used to be.

To be fair, the seizure happened back in 2020 when companies were still in the process of removing themselves from Russia. And it happened in retaliation for google complying with international sanctions against Russia.

They're important details. And you would have seen them in the article if you'd read it.

Check your gutters to make sure they're clear and there's no standing water in them. It's easy to miss it up there.

If I had to name any chocolate that tastes like it has lead and cadmium in it, that'd be Hershey's.

My sister had a friend who lived in a lesbian community. Oh my God the drama. I heard about it third hand and it was wild the number of crazy public screaming matches that happened and people who couldn't ever be in the same room as other people etc.

"Men is too headache"?

Try putting a bunch of women together and see what happens.

All this tells me is that they have a great PR department.

"He hasn't been convicted of insurrection" isn't a legal gray area, that's just misdirection by his supporters. Just like most other legal proceedings this one isn't dependent on the result of other legal proceedings. The supreme court will decide for themselves whether he was "involved in insurrection" - the law here doesn't depend on him being previously convicted of "insurrection", a different charge which has a much higher legal bar.

There's overwhelming evidence that he was "involved" in this insurrection so he'll almost certainly be held accountable. But whether the supreme court decides to disqualify him depends mostly on their interpretation of the clause naming the offices which he can be banned from. Given that the supreme court are republicans will they rule that "public office" does or doesn't include the presidency since it isn't named explicitly in the clause?

Having elected officials makes sense for politicians since their job is to represent the interests of the people but it's terrible for other types of public office.

What do you want from a judge or a sheriff? Someone who's experienced and competent. Who can best judge that? Would it be the hierarchy of their peers who they work with every day or would it be random members of the public who've barely even heard of them?

Edit: and no, I'm not suggesting political appointments. That's also a recipe for disaster. Do it like Commonwealth countries: make the civil service independent of the political process and make appointments be part of the usual process of promotion.

Unfortunately it's very hard to buy a decent dumb TV these days.

Trump's so much worse than any of those guys. He's literally promising to end democracy in the USA and to imprison his political opponents if he wins the next election. None of those others went that far.

Not to mention him being convicted of massive fraud while in office and fomenting a riot against the capitol to try to prevent the democratic election process from occurring. I mean this stuff is absolutely nuts and unlike anything any other president has done.

If he doesn't use his brand new immunity powers to have the military remove his opposition then he hasn't "given it his all".

And you know if Trump gets in power he's going to doing exactly that to his adversaries.

Run ublock origin and turn off all the ads and trackers. Then you can see for yourself how much faster it is.

The answer is... it depends on the page but in some cases a lot, in other cases not much.

If you go into this game for the gun combat you're probably playing the wrong game.

It's not just EVs - most new cars have these tracking devices where they sell your data to your insurance company to be used against you.

I love that I have to go out of my way and follow online instructions to undo something that they forced on me in the first place. That's customer antagonistic design for you.

The workplace isn’t high school.

It can be. I've definitely seen cases which were more high school than a professional workplace.

Remember the time - two days ago - when Trump said he was going to ban all electric cars? I wonder how Elon feels about that.

I'm surprised that the supreme court would even hear this request. He's just a normal citizen now and the brief sounds a lot like someone requesting retrospective absolution for their crimes.

Intel didn’t actually manufacture the chips.

The chips with the oxidisation issue were manufactured by Intel at their Arizona fab plant.

Tasers are effectively handheld torture devices. Put them in the hands of cops and it's not surprising they'd be used that way.

...because based on the facts it is homicide.

As someone from a not-US country, I'm always amazed at how right wing the US "liberal" policies are. If Biden was our PM he'd be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.

There have been UBI trials before and they found that it didn't lead to price increases to any great degree.

Cars should be taxed proportional to the fourth power of their kerb weight, in line with the road wear they cause.

Didn't he already repeatedly claim that he's fighting directly with the West?

Even in his own words what would this change?

And I should get to set the price since it's my data in the first place.

Their wanting you in the office is about control - it's nothing to do with productivity or any of the other excuses.

Fundamental tenet of Christianity: be nice to people.

Also Christianity: let's torture a bunch of people.

It's not uncommon among high level classical musicians apparently.

Personally, I prefer Spotify.

Scientists are trained to never state certainties because nothing is 100% certain. But then scientists also know how to back up their statements with modelling and technical statements of probability, which never get reported.
