It’s law and order with a bit of “thou shall not steal”. There’re people who never question the root cause.

Maybe the devil is not such a baddie and just gets bad press?

I prefer Microsoft Hotmail as they are way behind Google when it comes to monetisation.

The Canon driver needs to be installed on Fedora and has never worked out of the box without some tweaking. Canon is not really in the Linux support game.

The Canon Pixma has always problematic for me with driver issues.

And when Bill Shorten proposed to change the tax system to slow down speculative capital gains that are driving house prices, the people voted for Robodebt Scotty Morrison.

In Australia, we have followed the British housing tradition and have really bad insulation too! We are working on fixing it but there is so much to retrofit.

Sadly that was not the advice that they got.

On the other hand, using a heat pump for replacing a hot water heater is definitely a good thing. Using a heat pump on an old water radiator system may not work well. Friends had to replace a gas heater for their water radiator system and were told that there wasn’t a heat pump unit hot enough for the retrofit.

What you are saying is a reasonable take on all points. I do think that there are those people who sign on to an idea or cause and can never shake it. Similar to a gambling addiction or conspiracy beliefs like Flat Earthers. Being called a slave by his conservative mates isn’t enough to break through, I hate to think how much pain is required before his reality shifts.

True, they can be hard to find.

They were very popular in the day!

That’s the same as writing tests for software code after writing the code. A mystery without end or reliability.

And for those of us who predate VHS it was books! I was hooked on the Lord of the Rings!

Love to read @randahl@mastondon.social. Always interesting.

It’s pretty obvious that if you are a blinkered radical, then everything is about you and your cult.

Applying the razor to this, it’s more likely that a candidate who is extremely divisive and talks about persecuting and executing opponents as payback really just attracted karma.

God must want the gullible to move on more quickly if he sent this bloke to speed up their transition.

I suppose that once you have laws that allow blocking one type of site then other sites will be pretty easy to be added. A precedent sort of thing. Done once then others will follow.

Pretty amazing that piracy is such a hot topic such that freedoms can be curtailed but everyone’s right to an AR15 must be protected.

Maybe one day we could get radical and do some urban planning with some integration of public transport, removing SUVs, trucks from peak times and blocking traffic in residential areas.
