And, Professor Brian Cox.

That always ends up happening. Whenever a government has being in power for too long they start to break into 90 different factions and spend their entire time fighting each other, and not getting anything else done.

Also a certain group of the Conservatives have started to play by the Republican Party playbook, while the rest of them are politely asking if maybe they could not be fascists? Of course appeasement never works so apparently the next best option is to have giant arguments about it and replace the PM every 10 minutes.

Fortunately Labour are another party, and regardless of what you think about them as a party, they are at least different and are less fractional currently, so perhaps now we can get something done.

But there’s an important difference here. Sometimes you want the IP address to look like it’s coming from a different location because of region locking. Eg Netflix.

Other times you want the origin IP hiding along the data stream to stop snoopers. eg the government.

So changing your IP from the perspective of the receiver isn’t much use if you’re trying to hide from the government. People who are not very tech savvy may not necessarily realize this important distinction until it’s too late. So it’s best to explain the difference.

God damn it Poland 2, leave Ukraine alone.

I fundamentally take issue with the idea that I need to be saved from my phone.

The primary reasons I use my phone are for communication and taking pictures. Well it was terrible at both of those things.

The big problem with the humane pin was that it was trying to do processing on the teeny tiny device and that used all it’s battery up in 15 mins generated 300 MW of heat.

Why not just use the phone in your pocket that’s actually designed for this kind of data processing?

As with most games I’ll wait until about 3 months after it releases before I consider whether I’m going to buy it. It’s not like it’s going to run of copy’s out is it?

They seem to think the Earth is housed in some kind of giant sphere. Presumably air fills this magic sphere so they’d be okay.

I don’t know, I don’t subscribe to their delusions.

I think that’s only dementia plus plus, and she never had that.

Because filming and laughing at people who are mentally distressed isn’t really satisfying is it. They think the Earth is flat they’re not normal in the head why are considering this to be entertainment.

Yeah but he never actually went after the original murder if you notice. He spent his entire time going after lunatics who thought that they were going to take over the city because they had planted a bomb on a bridge or something.

At least Spider-Man actually got vengeance.

This is a weird hill to die on I’ve got to say. I’ve seen MythBusters it’s on TV, you can watch reruns on a on Youtube, you are arguing about something fundamentally disprovable.n

And I repeat, the Earth is not flat. The only people who think the Earth is flat are people who have stopped taking their medication. Laughing at these people is counterproductive at best an outright abusive at worst.

Oh no, they’ll believe when we kick them out the airlock. Don’t worry they’ll be in a spacesuit, we’ll see how fervently they hold onto convictions when we offer them the opportunity to take the helmet off. I doubt there would be many takers

Mythbusters took commonly held ideas and showed whether they were correct or not. Sometimes they actually said that what they were showing was true, often they showed how things are sort of true to a given value of true but there’s a lot of subtlety and nuance in the answer.

But the Earth isn’t flat. We know it isn’t, there is no debating the topic unless you’ve got a neurological deficiency. All this show he’s going to do is be, haha look at the morons, which won’t do anything because we already do that.

What a stupid show idea. Everyone knows that the best reality show is to take an activity usually undertaken by your grandmother and turn it into a global franchise.

Competitive knitting, competitive watercolors, competitive cooking, competitive dressmaking you name it. If your grandmother does it it can be turned into a television program.

Why are they messing around with this crap?

Batman was a CEO of a company.

Were the workers in the drone factory combatants, because by your definition technically they were.

The problem with the Doomsday clock idea is it’s very unspecific. The closer to midnight the closer we are to the end of the world but what does that mean? Who decides if we are 30 seconds or 35 seconds before midnight, what’s one second worth of Doom represent? For that matter what does 1 second after midnight look like (as far from Doom as possible), What’s that is that, a utopia, and how is that different to 3:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.

Yeah, there was a BBC documentary with him in it, and they actually demonstrate this. Various scammers are arrested and even sentenced, and then for some totally innocent reason a mistrial gets called, and it all has to go to trial again, and surprise surprise in the intervening time the police have managed to lose all of the evidence.

The only good thing about that whole case was that when they were arrested the scammers faces were broadcast all over national television in both India and the UK. Not that been shown in the UK will do everything, but I’m sure they don’t have a great time in India because the locals hate them. Oh and also when the police are showing off their scammers, for some reason they make them hold hands with the police. It’s really funny how unhappy they look about it.

If I traveled 100 years into the future I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still using USB-C. A different version of USBC but it’ll still be the same cable, the only reason they would upgrade to another cable is if they decided for some reason that it needed to be able to carry enough current to vaporize you.
