What are the rules of war against a prison camp? We could perhaps consult the Federal Bureau of Prisons manual, but I did not find the word “war” in it. Unfortunately, I don’t read Hebrew, so I came up blank there too.

A few years ago, I set up a monthly donation. Of all things I can use for free on the internet, Wikipedia deserves it the most.

Since when is the UK in the EU?

Slip, slop, slap. I think that goes without saying.

Then let’s teach kids to use Wolfram Alpha.

Sadly, the Voice referendum is going to have majority ‘no’ vote regardless of Musk.

When Shell stops donations to political parties, candidates and all of its lobbying I’ll agree with you.

It’s the tradition silly. They just want the good old days. They’re just conservatives.

Why were there only 22 nazis on trial in Nuremberg? Because the dock could only fit 22 people. How did the denazification go? Of the 1.3million nazis to be prosecuted it was only a fraction of a fraction. Germany now is not what it used to be then, but there are ‘conservatives’ among the good German people.

I’m so sorry man. I hope you find some happiness or at least less misery sooner rather than later. I’m about your age, closed my business a little over a year ago (covid stuff) and while I spent most of the “free” time working on renovating our house I’m at a point where I’ll need to start looking for a job. I’m not thrilled with (or perhaps dreading) the idea.

Fantastic! I thought that communism was impossible to achieve in a state, but if it is only achievable in ‘no state’, then we have to come up with a word more negative than ‘impossible’.

I appreciate your write up, but I think you replied to a different comment from some person in Estonia who might or might not have lived under that regime. Either way, Marxism-Leninism had been drilled into me for decades.

Dude, you don’t know the first thing about communism. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” It means you don’t take more than you need. “Rich communist” is an oxymoron.

Please explain communism for those who don’t understand. I lived in a communist country so it’s not for my benefit, but others might be curious.

Well, there are Libertarians and libertarians. From your username I gather you’re a Libertarian and not just a GOP moron libertarian who might hate corporations but will defend their “right” not to be regulated, while receiving government subsidies.

Do you work for Elon Musk? If so get a different job. Are you making a shitload of money? Is not, get a different job. If yes, spare us your crying about delivery fees. Are you Elon Musk? If yes, fuck you. If no, get a different job. I mean you sound miserable and have no life. I’d rather be homeless than live like that.

I remember being sick, when swallowing and even talking caused an extreme pain, and fantasising about drowning, I’d shower the inside of my mouth just to wash away the foul feeling of dryness.

A girl has to eat, but fuck…

Scientists? Didn’t every critically thinking person know?

I was like you until windows 10. I opted out of that. It just felt like losing control over my computer. Windows 11 even more so.

I swapped about a month ago. I’m running Ubuntu on desktop and openSuse Tumbleweed on laptop; both with KDE Plasma desktop environment, which makes the transition from windows easier. It’s a little bit of a learning curve as the names of software packages are unfamiliar to me, but I’m liking it.

My partner who never even contemplated anything else but windows did some work on my computer and I expected questions and frustration from her, but alas she did what she needed to do and I doubt she even noticed.

Mind you, I don’t really do gaming.
