"The legislature" No, that's not the answer. The right answer should be "the constitution that defines limits of what the government can do". The UK does not have that protection, so the hate speech is defined by…
Who defines what a "hate speech" is? Here is one of the latest cases, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gz1qy30v5o Here is another one: "West Midlands Police arrested a 15-year-old boy named Fraser on August 3, 2026,…
Yawn. Yes, it's quite sad that people have to turn to a crook with the hope of getting things changed because the other side hasn't delivered either. You can skip your "you" and "your" self-righteous rhetoric btw. I…
We are now discussing which President is worse, not which one is better. That's ironic. There was a reason why Trump has won, and it is not because half of the country is stupid like people on this forum like to claim,…
You are quite right and I did jump the gun with my comment, my apologies. To comment on Trump vs Kamala, Harris might not have done what Trump has done, but I suspect she would have done a lot of other things that Trump…
It's especially funny since he didn't even mention who he voted for. A mere hint of criticism of the preferred party triggered an attack mode right away.
I don't think it's a matter of moving goalposts but rather a matter of what's implied when talking about these AD systems. S400 and S300 are primarily designed to operate as an integral part of an AD networked…
"I want my appliances to last far longer than devices like my phone or computer." ... and hopefully be simple. My washer and dryer (made in late 90s) are dirt simple inside, with parts readily available. I recently had…
You should have said "to buying a new cheap watch". The average cost of maintenance and worn-out parts' replacement for a self-winding Omega (worth 7k+) was about $800 in 2020, done once every 10 years.
Well, I personally prefer having physical assets a lot more than cash. Just mentioning that to show that math does not favor ownership, provided that the rates stay high. Note though that there is never a shortage of…
Nah. I own a property in the gold coast area, and my property values have barely changed in the last 20 years. I only see an insane increase in real estate taxes and assessments. These are the things that price renters…
One can always count on Trump being brought up in any discussion. Trump is definitely not the Second Coming as his proponents believe, but the previous admin is not the Saint Incarnate either, on this particular…
Home Depot vertical rails and shelves serve me just as well.
Didn't know about this one, it's excellent. Thanks.
Iron Maiden for me :)
Well said. I find it interesting that a single proton-m total cost per launch is about 70 million. Of course its lift capacity is much smaller, but if the 4 billion figure is correct, it does seem like a ridiculous…
It wasn't really a question.

You must be really dense. I don't repeat anything. I am saying that I am paying through the nose to heat my house as a result. I don't give a flying duck about your Ukraine and Iran. None. Got it? Saving the patch of…
Hehehe. Nice try. All I am saying this is not our fight. If you really think it is, don't be a coward and join in, instead of having Ukrainians die for you. Thank you for proving what I said at the very beginning of…
> Preventing Ukraine from being taken over by Russia improves US security. Just sitting and doing nothing would be incredibly stupid and amoral. The only thing it improves is the pockets of the US MIC. It will be taken…
Not to me. Both involve us in wars that have nothing to do with us, both are sucking away the money that could be spent on improving things domestically instead of spending it on MIC. Both use lame excuses for…
War - history won't agree with you. Trump started Iran. Biden got us into supporting Ukraine on the other side of the planet. I like neither. Crime - I don't care about "going down for years". I look at Chicago where I…
Don't look at the forums. The majority of normal US population is not on them.
