- Comment on What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age? 6 days ago:
First “pirated” game i ever got was Elite for the Acorn Archimedes in 1991. Came with a photocopied manual which was essential as the anti-piracy measure was having to type in a word from the manual (think 4th word of the 3rd line of page 12 sort of thing).
That was given to me on a floppy disk.

Have said this elsewhere, all this law did was inconvenience adults.
- Comment on ‘Realistic and reassuring’: UK public ‘responding calmly’ to Be Ready campaign 1 week ago:
When covid started I created a 2 week supply. I didnt think food was going to run out, but in a scenario where we were being encouraged to remain at home it seemed sensible.
I’ve maintained that supply and added
Water - 75 litres Purification tablets. 2 weeks worth of tinned food/rice/pasta along with dog food. Camping stove and gas Wind up radio Powerbanks Kept our blu-ray player (in case internet goes down).
We have solar panels but they don’t have the EPS setup yet, researching the best way to get a single socket attached to the inverter.
Tbh, most people used to have pantries with good stocks of tinned food. We dont have anything we dont normally eat, and as we work through it I just top it up.

So will Zia Yusuf, Muslim “chairman” of Reform finally realise he’s a self-loathing useful idiot hated by everyone else in reform because of his religion and step down?

- Comment on Do jobs still do "shadowing" to learn the skills before you apply like welding or carpentry or computers? Or is it too much of a hassle for the person you are "shadowing" along with the company? 3 weeks ago:
What you’re looking for is an apprenticeship
- Comment on UK ‘an outlier in Europe’ for letting Farage and other politicians present TV shows 3 weeks ago:
The amount of airtime reform get is totally disproportionate to the number of mps and councils they have.
- Comment on Campaign led by pupils to ban school uniforms from pornography reaches 5,000 supporters 3 weeks ago:
Where have I said anything about being anti-porn?
I have a problem with porn that depicts underage girls and the men who are interested in underage girls.
- Comment on Campaign led by pupils to ban school uniforms from pornography reaches 5,000 supporters 3 weeks ago:
There are people interested in the power dynamics and there are people interested in women who look like children and watch it for that reason. You can pretend the latter don’t exist but you’d be wrong.

I really would love for there to be an airsoft community here.
Personally I really want an L85-A3 (british assault rifle) but with HPA.

Ah but would they have looked for him in Israel?
Nobody would suspect the kindly old German man running an art supply store in central Tel-Aviv
- Comment on Why is Christa Pike from TN being kept alive after two failed execution attempts? 5 weeks ago:
That was with Zyklon-B (hydrogen cyanide).
That isn’t a pleasant/humane way to go - people exposed to it suffer greatly before they die.
- Comment on Drivers ignoring roadwork closures to skip queues ‘wilfully putting lives at risk’ 1 month ago:
There were roadworks on the road near my house.
For a week, there was nothing there except traffic lights and cones. No holes. No workers. No work
The contractors were late starting and nobody bothered turning the lights off resulting in mile long tailbacks on one of the only roads in and out of our town.
This happened twice.
Maybe, just maybe local councils need to start holding road work contractors to account for the pointless delays they cause.
- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 1 month ago:
They are in lots of places. Most British villages/towns/cities all utilities are now underground. Its quite rare to see low voltage powerless now

- Comment on Are US cops (or sheriffs) able to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction? 2 months ago:
In the UK anybody can make a citizen’s arrest if it isn’t reasonably practicable for a constable to do so.
However it can only be for a crime that is indictable (can be tried at a crown court). So things like significant theft, burglary and assault.
A US cop has no additional rights to enforce the law than anyone else.

Yes. I agree. I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me about it
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 months ago:
I’m not saying it is. Just that you can’t please anybody it seems
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 months ago:
100% guarantee that if she did have armpit hair some other sad bastard would be making a post commenting on it
- Comment on How come Pornstars don't teach Master Classes? So the average joe or joness can improve relationships and get better orgasms. Who would be better than pornstars? 2 months ago:
I like to think so, in all seriousness it was quite useful. Really emphasised importance of foreplay and safe sex (including how to use a condom) which when the time came as a teenager was invaluable.

If you’re a Xennial its easy. Go back in time and search through your dad’s wardrobe. That’s how I watched it.
