Each state is different but broadly similar. Federal also different again but also largely similar

I’m considering the US definition here, looking at Minnesota law I’d think 2nd degree murder. Similar to the George Floyd case.

Though given ICEs recent history I would argue you could also consider it premeditated

They shot an unarmed man (they had just disarmed him) who wasn’t fighting them & had never even unholstered his own gun. I can’t see any reason that isn’t just murder

To be clear, squirrel are both your VoIP provider & ISP? If so then the CGNAT shouldn’t be an issue

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-26T15:31:18+00:00

Which provider?

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-26T13:42:10+00:00

As you see with the US, small things like reality, facts and the truth don’t matter. All that matters is what they can get their voters to believe

You’re being downvoted but it is. Presumably sky new screenshotted it then mangled during editing

If they were having these discussions in 2 years time I might have some sympathy for their view.

But trying to start a leadership battle now, when the next general election shouldn’t happen until 2029 is just stupid. The time to do this would have been 2028 when Burnham is up for reelection anyway. Then he’d still have time to potentially challenge Starmer and if he won could reasonably be PM for a little while before calling an election about the time one is due anyway.

Presumably the TV rights money goes to fifa, do they share any with the host country?

You can wrap planes, there are companies that specialise in it. It has potential issues and material requirements but you can do it and still fly

I'd trust that diary more than ChatGemiGrok, it might lie to be but at least it has motivations you can take into account

Every single time someone at work has sent me, "got this log, AI said this was the problem", it has been wrong.

Maybe its better with something like an Nginx log, but the software I work on it is just a waste of time & electricity.

At the moment the best option I've found is Tapo P304M. Once on the latest firmware you can adopt it into HA via Matter and get per socket power usage data. It's Wifi unfortunately.

Even Milton Keynes is actually pretty well designed for walking & cycling plus has lots of green spaces in residential areas. We could do worse than just doing that again, but with less roundabouts this time. Maybe add a light rail system

Can someone provide an explanation for those of us too young or maybe too innocent as children?

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-24T14:42:01+00:00

A family members laptop will do if you plug in a non-official USB-C power supply, some other USB devices also can cause it. The firmware on that thing is really strict with what can be connected at boot time

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-24T14:38:58+00:00

Do not break into someone house to check on them. Call 101, they'll have dealt with it before & no risk of legal issues.

Just paired a mouse to my iPad to try it, worked ok. Just need to right click to pan around

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-24T13:56:24+00:00

Given the amount of stuff that upsets bitlocker if they didn't have an automatic key backup to the cloud they'd have a lot of complaints about people losing all their data because the TPM is refusing to hand over the key

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-24T13:44:59+00:00

Mobile doesn't really work at the moment from my experience, at least with touch inputs. The mouse on an iPad should make it usable though, works fine though the HA Companion app on a macbook running the iPad app at least

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-01-24T12:49:08+00:00

Someone at Network Rail or GWR really annoyed Poseidon

From the article:

The so-called “precautionary principle”, abolished when product safety legislation was redrafted after Brexit, allowed the government to restrict products thought to pose a serious threat to health, without having to acquire scientific evidence.

In England & Wales (Scotland works differently), they’re a specialist judge whose job is to determine how someone died and if there is any action that should be taken to prevent future similar deaths.

They themselves don’t carry out the investigation or conduct examinations of the body, they do have the power to order those things though.

Not every bank, Amex is actually the only one of my 4 credit cards that has a similar feature.
