Heh, fortunately one pair of shoes in my shoe collection aren’t purple. They are a dark fuchsia. So I’m not gay.

No no, not the comfy chair!

Did you get a raise?

Of course Donbas will join Russia with your scheme. All the Ukrainians have been displaced. It is nothing else but colonization of Ukraine by Russia.

To be fair, only the people who lived in Donbas until the little green men invaded 8 years ago would need to be asked in a referendum.

From what I can see from an EU perspective: The training you get to become an officer in the US seems to vary a lot between places. That explains lot of differences.

Also it’s quite short IMO. Here in Germany it takes 2 1/2 years to become a policeman, 6 Months of these as a trainee. And still we have a number of problems.

I was once calling the police because there was a guy screaming loudly in front of my apartment building.

He was not threatening, just really confused, was obviously looking for his home, I had the impression he was autistic or on some kind of spectrum and it was below -5C - cold enough that it’s really dangerous to fall asleep outside.

I called the police because I thought he just needed help and someone to look after him to take him home.

Yes, I do trust police in my country.

Because behind the carrier grade NAT I don’t get a routable IPV4 at all, so no inbound connections.

With the IPV4 I use I do use dyndns now, so I can resolve it from outside.

IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.

As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.

So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.

It’s so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.

No, but I have a device with a LCD display where I can look it up

I’m not trying to argue against you, I’m just trying to rally people against crappy business tactics.

Thanks for the personal attack, though.

I’m keeping a mumber of my first generation Eneloops around. Around 10% of the ones I bought in the 2010s died, the others are still duing duty in my TV remote control etc.

The ones that died mostly died because of staying in a moving box for around 6 years or so after I divorced and forgot about them.

So I’m amazed how many of them just keep working.

You don’t get cookie check boxes because of GDPR. You’re getting them because companies want to track you, and need to ask if they do so.

If they don’t want to steal your private info they don’t need cookie check boxes, even under GDPR.

Additionally, those shitty checkboxes, that take 1000 clicks and 5 minutes if you don’t want to get tracked? Illegal under GDPR. Rejected getting tacked needs to be “as easy” as getting tracked by GDPR law.

Companies hating their tracking data business going away like to shit on GDPR - and if it’s repeated frequently enough peopme believe it.

(Btw Kosa sounds really dangerous in itself, I’m not advocating for that)

I agree with the last statement at about a 70% level. The last 30% missing is - like you can’t tickle yourself, there’s some sensations that are different just because another person does them to you.

I’m not anti relationship, it’s just when viewing sex alone a lot of the things I experienced with someone else are just overrated. With very very few exceptions when I met humans with extremely high emotional intelligence.

But maybe in the end that’s all a discussion, that we all are generally bad in knowing and communicating what feels good for each other.

Yeah, people also say how old cars were better than modern ones, but that’s only driven by the fact that all the broken ones are scrapped for a long time now. In fact, modern cars have much longer lifespans than the old rust buckets.

Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.

Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.

The body remembers.

Do we already have c/dontputyourdickinthat?

Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love… sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time “just enough” but even looking away for one second caused the crash.

Learn from my err friend, don’t look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.

Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.

Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.

Where’s the problem? If the door opens blows out en route the astronauts will probably still reentry.
