   That kind of shit is so tiresome. The second most plausible explanation kinda aligns with the reality in the first part, at least: a crazy person staged this and then escaped (and maybe killed him/herself.) .. either way, why is this i

   I would like to challenge my hard-core religious physics and biology teacher from 7th grade with this evidence. He kept giving me as low a grade as what was acceptable, while I still aced pretty much every test. (Sweden. Småland. 90s. I don

   This thing made me think of the japanese-language-only, Sega Dreamcast-only 1999 "Marionette Handler" mech programming game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQqcvhR568E It was something else, at least back then. (

    Has that 1979 law been proven in court to be valid about the kind of things we are talking about now, and can you link the specific cases, please? :=)

    The EU loves creating standardized sticker layouts. In this case I would welcome it. "Security updates guaranteed for: nn months" or "Security updates guaranteed until: YYYY/MM" There should be a also scheme where c

    My 73 year old mom is quite happy with the 2014 Moto G I got her three years ago. I guess she'll need something new now (No idea if it has a BCM wifi chipset, but I'm guessing so - how do you even find this out without having phys

    That's a nonstarter because of UAE's requirements on censorship and backdoored surveillance ("lawful intercept"). They're at least on the level of China in this regard, maybe even worse.
