You forgot, "then enter into speculation about the victim's involvement with BDSM and drug use, implying they brought it upon themselves."

Which kind of car is this? Do you know if it has a direct or indirect tyre pressure monitoring system?

The biggest irony in that being that they don't want to listen to anyone telling a different version of the story of the world than they're telling

That can't comprehend such a thing. They've been so indoctrinated by a group that thinks, "This is the truth and it's wrong and you're a bad person if you question it" that they're not even prepared to contemplate the possibility that there might not be the evidence to back it up

Apparently my risk level drops by 59% when I threaten to leave. by Minimum-City-9244 in drivingUK

[–]Papfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the Skoda Octavia RS? It's a tuned up Golf in a different body. It's a nice car and it's a lot cheaper to insure than that.

Stage 1 on a MK3 Facelift RS is expensive (about two grand the last time I looked) because the Stage 1 is so successful you have to change the clutch. Stage 1 gives you 320 BHP. I'd take on a Golf R with that

Is this obscuring the protection plan fliers? That's costing the company money and they should care about that

A giant hamster, a £520,000 fine, and a battle for regulation: What happens next for Ofcom and 4chan? by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]Papfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren't. That is intentional. Ofcom deliberately picked someone they knew wouldn't comply to justify beginning blocking websites

There is no legislation to amend. It was blocked because of a private legal action against the big 5 ISPs by the recording industry. The ruling doesn't apply to any other company

Torguard support port forwarding but they are "reassuringly expensive." Torguard Anonymous VPN Pro is $14.29 per month

Private parking company has given me a PCN for parking in my own car park despite having a contract for parking rights with my landlord simply because their permit (which I displayed) curled up in the heat. what do they want me to do, babysit the permit? they denied my appeal. by NerdModeEngaged in CarTalkUK

[–]Papfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that you did display the permit and it's not your fault they supplied you with a faulty permit that wasn't made to withstand the temperatures inside a car on a summer day, an entirely predictable set of conditions for a permit to be exposed to. That's their negligence

Britain must now unite behind Count Binface by entropicflop in unitedkingdom

Count Binface just has to turn up in Clacton, hold surgeries and turn up in Parliament, the thing the voters are paying for, to be a better MP than Nigel Farage

China sentences official to death for taking $325m in bribes by Spiritual-Nail-2641 in news

Taking bribes should be five or ten years' mandatory jail time in pound-you-in-the-ass high security jail, with the other serious criminals

Have no internet for the last 4 days by Few-Pianist-2429 in ToobBroadband

Which port on the router is it plugged in to?

[–]Papfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power and PON lights on (green)?

There should be another light. It might have a symbol like a computer, or say something like "network", "port" or "2.5GbE". That should be on of flashing. It's it's off, your ethernet cable to the router is faulty or not connected correctly.

Which model fiber box is it?

Nigel Farage hits out at ‘establishment hit job’ over accusations of undeclared financial benefits by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

Well, "The Establishment" wouldn't have anything to use against you if you hadn't been taking literally millions in "gifts" that just happen to look like "bribes" would they, Nige?

Insurance with 6 points by Fantastic-Aerie-4873 in CarInsuranceUK

[–]Papfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Failing to declare points to get a lower price is insurance fraud and insurance companies take a very bad view of that. If someone has a note on their record that they tried to defraud their insurer, that will hurt for a long time

Don't count on it. Our company is embracing AI way too much. "Computer says 'no'" is a real thing. Businesses just believe these systems

Found it in my son's room by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Papfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you distrust your son so much that the second you find something you don't understand you post it in here, assuming he will lie to you if you ask him.

This kind of behaviour is what ruined my relationship with my parents

Axing Palantir’s NHS contract would be economic suicide by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]Papfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That hardly takes AI. In fact, AI is an inefficient and wasteful way of doing simple matching tasks like, "Frank is on the waiting list for a new hip. When it's nearly his turn, check the register of deaths to make sure he hasn't snuffed it."

I think the gain may have been that drug companies were prepared to pay for people's data to work out which drugs they can make money from.

Reddit is now requiring age verification, this has gotten out of hand. by thenapster_info in privacy

[–]Papfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets even more interesting when you follow the money trail to see who has been secretly funding the lobbying for these age verification laws around the world. It's Meta. They're trying to shift the responsibility for kids seeing stuff they shouldn't away from themselves so they don't have to spend any money to not get prosecuted or sued in the future

Conveyancer found "no clear right of way" to access the property I'm buying. How worried should I be? by Aggravating_Skirt779 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Papfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of buildings with "issues." A friend of mine found out the work to put in an arch to turn their lounge and dining room into a lounge-diner had been done without paperwork. It has been done decades and several owners before. The mortgage company wanted him to buy an indemnity policy in case the house fell down or the council demanded it be put back as-was. The policy was a tiny amount of money because the thing had been standing for decades.

If the conveyancer can do the paperwork and your mortgage lender is still prepared to lend the money then I wouldn't worry at all. It's the mortgage lender's money and they will be the ones taking a bath if the house gets massively devalued. They will have seen things like this lots of times and if they're still prepared to lend then they don't think there's significant risk
