Welsh woman fined for flatulence-fueled cyber harassment

Re: Silence

Here in the US, there was a guy that said “I know that I didn’t do it, so why don’t you just give me a lawyer, dog, ‘cause this is not what’s up" but the courts declared that he didn't actually ask for a lawyer because there is no such as a "lawyer dog". Yes, I'm serious.

Re: PITT

I think we all agree that Dante was foreshadowing Microsoft's existence!

Yeah, it's been awhile since I created the GPO but, if IIRC, I think we told everyone it would take a reboot for it to take effect.

Re: PITT

Tesla Cybertruck turns into world's most expensive brick after car wash

Re: So much for the resilience of Stainless Steel

I live in the US and a little over 33% of my paycheck goes to taxes and insurance (retirement not included). 33% of my check is taken before I even see it and then I get to pay out of my butt for any medical expenses.

FCC plans to restore net neutrality rules tossed out under Trump

Re: While I'm all for it

Get your passport ready and make sure your finances are on point; Repubs are all in on "Project 2025" if Trump wins again. Project 2025 is absolutely terrifying: they, essentially, want to abolish the federal government, place Trump as the defacto ruler, and make Christianity (as a whole) the core principles of the country. They want a dictatorship.

This isn't hyperbole, there are a lot of current GQP politicians that have signed up to support it.
