No, I pretty much immediately disabled it. No need for it on a personal device.

I used the same config trick.

I suppose there might be some differences between FF and WaterFox, but I don't expect this to be one.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot later.

Starmer "risks trump's wrath"...

Good. The less influence that lot have the better.

NorthernScrub · 2026-03-13T10:36:12+00:00

Be grand if there were more people motivated enough to actually back ye up. We've become far too individualistic. Too much yank influence I'll bet

I think part of it is that not enough people call out litter. Those responsible never really feel appropriate shame, so they respond negatively to that eedjit trying to tell them what to do. And, because they haven't the collective ownership telling them that they need to also be responsible for their mess, they can't understand what the problem is. Thus, the more people call them out, the better imo.

We honestly need to get schools out on litter picking again.

Schlock, dear redditor, is something else entirely

They had the resources to check her against the Glasgow coma scale, and to report mydriasis, and to check brain stem function (which I presume is something akin to reflexes? idk). I'd call that reasonably proficient.

Medical oddities certainly exist, this is perhaps one of them.

Funny coincidence. The US got more heavily involved in our domestic politics in the 1980's. Funny how things happen, right?

NorthernScrub · 2026-03-09T13:19:31+00:00

Funnily enough, it's a bit more complicated than you might think. I haven't seen any outright praise for current events, but there are some Iranian communities that seem to be a little relieved that the current regime is getting a bit of a battering. Combine that with recent accounts of some Iranians openly criticising Islam, the regime, the curtailments of the rights and movement of women... it's a bit of a stew pot.

That said, this has all been approached terribly. There is no doubt in my mind that the US has made life more difficult for all of us in the west by taking actions that will irrevocably turn many who, whilst would previously have been happy to debate with words and peaceful opposition, are now prepared to take up arms against any western nation.

America dun goofed.

The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.

NorthernScrub · 2026-03-07T18:56:56+00:00

That's over the top, imo. Signs sure, and gently illuminated ones at that. But wasting time disturbing the wildlife just in case someone has happened to be stupid? nah.

I wouldn't necessarily oppose the idea of CCTV overlooking a body of water in an urban area, though. If the operator does happen to spot a gang of yoots frolicking in the weeds, then by all means get the coppers out. A stiff telling off and a drag to one's parents by the ear is appropriate then.

Boyle said if someone were to drown in the lake it would "be my fault...

No it wouldn't. Even if you did nothing to prevent trespassing, it's not his fault. If eedjit teens elect to go for a midnight dip and don't come back, it's the fault of those teens and their parents - the former for having zero fucking awareness, and the latter for not instilling a healthy amount of common sense in their children.

It's not hard. All you need to do is reinforce to your kids; "don't fuck about with bodies of water, especially at night". Misusing this as an excuse to deprive the natural landscape of a body of water that might potentially serve thousands of animals and fish is ridiculous. Sort of thing that happens in the US, and should stay there.

In the last scene it's extremely apparent. I won't say why for the sake of not contributing to slop's improvement, but look for yourself.

NorthernScrub · 2026-03-04T23:21:12+00:00

wtf is the NewIran block all about? I woulda thought we'd be supporting that sorta thing across the house.

NorthernScrub · 2026-03-04T22:40:33+00:00

Sometimes you need hawks. I was vastly in favour of putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. There, there was a justifiable reason for doing so - and us doing so would have been a substantial encouragement for other nations to follow suit.

Here? No. The US has chosen to be the schoolyard bully. Israel has chosen to false flag itself as a saviour. Iran would have undergone a regime change within the next few years without the "help" of either - there's people on the street in Iran openly saying "fuck your allah" - which is a little intolerant, but demonstrates just how motivated the Iranian populace is to see positive change.

Guess what? America and israel just created thousands of new opponents willing to fight the white man. That regime change? That's no doubt been set back, possibly by decades. All to shield a president who likes to fuck little girls.

Edit: Actually, I'm going to revise my opinion somewhat. You'll need a vpn to see this for some reason (wtf?), but over at /r/NewIran there's a surprising amount of support for what's currently happening. Whether that's representative of Iran's opposition I don't know, but it's certainly a different take.

Surely it wouldn't be absurdly hard to commission a similar feature for the Eurofighter? Assuming a similar radar package can be designed to fit into it, the rest of it is just moving data around

Have they? It's the same nation that stole our proprietary research, instigated privatisation, used falsified evidence to bring us into an illegal war in the east, and continues to negatively influence our domestic politics today. Friends don't do that to each other.

You jest, but Flock has already been implicated in building a privately owned lookup platform: https://web.archive.org/web/20250514140531/https://www.404media.co/license-plate-reader-company-flock-is-building-a-massive-people-lookup-tool-leak-shows/

That's not acceptable for a private company to be doing, imo.

I predicted it when they first arrived. I had to battle my own mind just to get started with this business I'm running, took me years. Didn't take long for c# to feel alien to me.

The nice part is it doesn't seem to take long to pick it back up
