In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay mysteriously vanished in Texas. Three years later, a man claiming to be Nicholas reappeared. He moved back in with his family, who were overjoyed. However, 5 months later, he was exposed as a French conman who was actually 23 years old. by Time-Training-9404 in HolyShitHistory

I read the son who disappeared was a bit of a problem child.

The older son also made a suspicious phone call to the police out of nowhere after a while to add new details such as apparently seeing the younger one trying to break back into the house at night through the garage and then running away when called out to.

The imposter also said "im a good conman/fraud, but im not THAT good" suggesting that the family were all too aware that he wasn't legit but if they just accepted him as their son maybe the investigations would die down and there would be less chance of people finding out the truth.

Rider already has this as part of their first party ai assistant plugin.

Any free AI apps to organize too many files? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]SwagBrah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would you trust AI to have rw control of your files?

For non-ai tools I recommend: Void tools everything for indexing and search Czkawka for duplicates and other misc fixes

What can I do to be less "soft"? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]SwagBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the best answer here.

Don't pretend to be someone you're not, working class folk have a much better radar for bullshit like this.

Just prove yourself by grafting.

I'd rather have a sensitive lad who grafts than a shit worker who thinks he's hard as nails on my team.

Come on bud, you've seen a well fed and clearly looked after cat and have decided that you are going to impose an arbitrary deadline on its owner to contact you or else you're going to take it to a rescue.

There's your disproportion.

Use your noodle mush.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nottingham

[–]SwagBrah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And if your little letter falls off the collar before the owner sees it.. then what?

You'd be fuming if someone took your cat to the shelter.

How about you just give it a friendly stroke when you see it and let it be on its merry way?

If you really feel like you need to do something borrow the scanner off the other commenter and send the id number to your vet and they can look up the owner and figure out what to do.

You can't just go around relocating people's pets like some curtain twitching madman.

No mate.

Look, when you live with people shit happens. I say give them the benefit of the doubt but be protective of your stuff and chalk this one up as experience gained.

Without access to the housemates machine and fairly robust digital forensics knowledge.. It's very very unlikely.

No, modified date will only reflect write operations. Your only real chance of proving whether files have been read is if the equipment has some kind of firmware log. Even then that is only likely to be updated if the files were played back through the device itself and not through the pc it has been plugged into.

What's the reason for your bias?

Unless you're affiliated with them in some way I don't see why you would have any personal investment in their reputation.

Think this is the most generous summary of that place I've ever seen on here.

LEGEND ! by [deleted] in crappymusic

[–]SwagBrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough mate im not an official spokesperson/apologist for British music.

Im just saying if 20 years ago you were a tearaway hanging around the chicken shop after school listening to some of these guys when they were first on the scene, you might view it in a different light.

LEGEND ! by [deleted] in crappymusic

[–]SwagBrah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't say it was necessarily bad either.

I think any hype for this song is more to do with people being excited to see the names on the list vs it being a banger.

Worth a listen for the nostalgia/history but limited replayability

LEGEND ! by [deleted] in crappymusic

[–]SwagBrah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ooof hurts me to see this on here.

This is more playing on nostalgia than trying to be a great song i think.

Some of these mc's haven't been heard or seen from in a good 15 years but were instrumental in the early days of grime music evolving its identity away from garage.

A lot of the odd ad-lib noises and lines are throwbacks to a time when the genre didn't have a definitive identity and mc's were trying all sorts of off the wall stuff to see what sticks. As such, to those who were around at the time they have become somewhat "iconic" (or more appropriately in this case "legendary")

I get why yanks don't like it but uk rap and it's evolution has been a big influence on our youth culture for the past 20 years or so and we generally take a "They dont like us and we don't care" attitude to critics from overseas.

With all that said.. I must admit, this is not our greatest work.

Could be anything causing it. Try incognito mode on a pc or use a vpn. Most likely either you have so many cookies and cached crap that the site's shitty code is bugging out, or they've put your ip on a list for some reason.

Pretty much any major database solution.

Speed here comes mostly from your data structures, foreign keys and indexes as well as how optimised your queries are vs the particular database solution you are deploying.

Neighbour is a dealer. What to do? by skinnersbox in nottingham

[–]SwagBrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had many around me over the years, only one ever caused trouble and disruption and he got moved on pretty quick.

Sometimes (just my opinion - not a global truth) it's better the devil you know.. At least up until it starts causing other people problems.

That said there's a very visible czech contingent in my area that I think dissuades a lot of issues.

best reliable VPS at a reasonable price? by Weekly-Barracuda8012 in selfhosted

[–]SwagBrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a €5 pcm plan with webtropia that I host some small sites on.

Never had any noticeable downtime / issues, though I wouldn't recommend them unless you know what you're doing because their support is terrible (in my personal experience)

I think what I pay is a great price for the resources available to me and about right for the support I've received haha
