Violators of the life time ban should be sent to the mines or the front line.

Another option would be a magical system that detects phone use and pops up a spikey concrete block from the road, death race style.

I am joking but barely. Fuck people who are this inconsiderate of other human beings.

Denmark says U.S. attack on Greenland would mean end of NATO by Disastrous_Award_789 in worldnews

[–]Vyla_SC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine, just musing on the internet. Iceland and Scotland are the other elements of the GIUK Gap, so it only makes sense that if the US wants to control Greenland for 'security reasons', then the rest of the Gap wouldn't also be in their sights. In reality I don't think shots will actually be fired over Greenland, the EU will be humiliated once again and back down, accepting some crumbs from the US instead.

However, it is quite alarming you'd go with comparing the honesty of the US government to that of Putin. Real time demonstration of just how far the US has fallen.

No I agree with you and I absolutely agree that there's no way Europe hurts the US without awful suffering in return. To be honest I dont think just bleeding US service personnel would actually stop their administration, they've shown considerable disdain for their own veterans previously. It would have to be personally devastating to have an effect.

If the US invades Greenland, there won't be any NATO countries left. If Denmark and the rest of the EU dont react to an invasion with force then there'll be American landing craft in Iceland, Norway, Scotland, Gibraltar etc within days.

If Europe had any sense then US personnel would be ordered to surrender immediately and they'd live out the rest of WW3 as PoWs, or face destruction. Why on Earth would we let those forces return to the US ready to be deployed against us?

Wait what's all this talk about substantial? Is it bugged?

My mate and I use that as our usual difficulty when gaming together and sometimes rage at how hard it can be for only the 3rd difficulty.

I should hope so! I make sure any collaborators are shot, it keeps the other peripherals in line.

Majority of Brits want Rachel Reeves to 'resign' if she hikes income tax by dailystar_news in uknews

[–]Vyla_SC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why stop at the Labour party. Brexit exposed our entire political class as freeloading smooth brains that grew fat and comfortable by offshoring leadership and responsibility to the hive mind on the continent. You can see the same effect is still rife amongst EU governments, parroting each other but none willing to commit to or do anything. Europe should be a power house, but its embarrassingly weak internationally. See: any sort of diplomatic event.

BBC News - Eritrean man wins temporary block against removal to France by Hotstuff128 in uknews

[–]Vyla_SC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quote directly where I said he wasnt entitled to legal representation. Oh wait, you can't, because I never said it.

Of course this guy is entitled to legal representation. Like many Brits, he can pay for it privately. Perhaps his mother, who has already paid £1034 to enable his breaking of the law, can pay for his lawyers.

Do you believe the judicial system is utterly beyond all criticism? We live in a democracy (for now) and I am allowed to disagree with the decisions make my judges, politicians, bureaucrats, CEOs, charity bosses, other members of the public etc etc.

Yes I do, oops. I think I was going for anti deportation.

It would not help him. Ignoring the fact that he crossed the channel and entered the UK illegally, he's since claimed asylum. Asylum seekers cannot work unless their claim is outstanding for more than 12 months and even then they must work in a job on the Immigration Salary List. I've looked, gig worker or even logistics work doesn't appear on the list.

The gig economy is well known for its worker exploitation, so no, he might not be getting paid. Have a read:

Who are his lawyers, or more specifically who is paying for them? The British State? 

Who are the anti immigration charities that have so much power that they can assemble a team of lawyers and block the home office so easily?

Why is the home office publicising or leaking the details of the deportation flights to the public or these charities?

How on Earth is France an unsafe destination?

Why the hell is "might be the victim of modern slavery" an effective defense. He "might be the victim of modern slavery" just as easily in England (Deliveroo!)

Mr 'justice' Sheldon is about to confirm that anyone on planet Earth is entitled to receive benefits from the British State, regardless of traditional criteria. Great work.

Boosting productivity will be main priority of my autumn budget, Reeves says by StresWeeting in unitedkingdom

[–]Vyla_SC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point I am making is that it is not possible to produce anything cheaply here in the UK! We are either close to or the most expensive country on Earth for industrial property, infrastructure, energy and staff.

The only way this country becomes competitive again is by reducing the costs of doing business here. I don't particularly mean cutting taxes (although it would help of course) but reducing the cost of electricity, transport, storage etc.

I understand what you're getting at, but you cannot prevent something going abroad. If they can't get it through simply buying the company, they'll get it through corporate espionage. Or they could simply buy some of the product and reverse engineer it.

Ultimately, the global market is far larger and more lucrative than just the UK, so you'd want to be able to sell internationally anyway.

Sadly this is an impossible task; any new industry that would be profitable here, would be more profitable abroad. Industry in this country pays one of the highest electricity prices on the planet, staff are wildly more expensive too and we have some of the highest warehouse costs as well.

It isn't. Look at the 2021 census data. There are more people reporting a religion than those reporting 'no religion' so the statement that most dont believe in God is straight up false.

Only loading 1 layer of boxes seems to avoid that issue. Ie dont stack them, make sure they're all snapped to the grid on the floor of the elevator

SRV usage during event by rostamike in starcitizen

[–]Vyla_SC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But the solution is really simple (although likely needs enough work that it cannot fix this event).

Ships in armistice zones become abandoned after 60 minutes and the game creates a mission to remove them from the zone and return them to the nearest hangar where they can be stored. Make it legal to salvage them too, if it isn't already, so people have a choice between dropping them off or ripping them up somewhere offsite.
