In 2022/2023, England’s water firms made a staggering £1.7bn in pre-tax profits. This fine is just chump change for them and doesn’t fix anything.

The whole point of bringing out a new generation of hardware is to make it work in much better ways of operation than the last one. By default it is not going to run the older generation of games because it doesn’t work in the same way. Now they could spend a lot of effort in making it able to play the old games and work in the old way, but what is their incentive to do that, compared say in starting work on the next generation or releasing the console earlier?

No one secured the ladder or the roof or responded to alerts of a gunman on the roof. There’s only two angles where you could shoot the ear without it entering the head, must be a million to one shot… but the real question to ask is…. a teenage boy looking at porn?… that is crazy!

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!

Despite Labour dropping their 28bn green investment pledge

Maybe Harper was keener to keep his seat than his green pledge?

They are technically correct!

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

I will probably do the same. Never really understood tactical voting. Is it just so you can say you voted for the winner? Realistically one vote here or there is unlikely to swing it so surely just vote for the candidate/party you want regardless of their chances?

Labour abstain, can’t even decide if it’s bad to sh@t in the lake or not 🤦

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

One drive has a trash for the trash. I’m still not convinced those files are gone after the 2nd empty, I think they just don’t show the other trash cans

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.

My cat does this, he’s such a shit, a minute later he will hop on my lap for cuddles, “let’s just ignore the fact I just savaged you.” I then of course reward his had behaviour with strokes and cuddles!

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?
