That’s an unnecessary loaded headline.

He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

Noclick summary for the less brave among us?

Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.

Publications that can’t describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.

Something is terribly wrong.

Apologies in advance, because this is in no way an answer to your question.

It is, however, related to the thought and super cool:

This is the type of information those classified air force documents are full of.

A few general traffic laws apply:

1: The UFO is not a legally registered road vehicle and they must yield to all traffic.

2: If you see a hazardous situation, like the UFO not clearly following traffic laws giving you space, you must do your part to avoid injury by avoiding a collision.

So after you do brake for the UFO, or swerve and honk, you may go to the police and inform them of the aliens’ traffic violation. They may then get a fine.

If you say “fuck it Im in the right” and crash into them, you are both breaking the law, but you are in bigger trouble for willfully endangering life and property. You get prison, the aliens get a fine.

“Fear the brown foreigners.” expanded to 2000 words and with some fact-inspired stuff shoved in sideways.

This is Stochastic Violence and the Sun can get fucked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism

Assuming you are not trolling:

The Sun is being criticized for:

• targeting a group instead of an individual
• using scare language when describing this group

Let’s say I want to report on “Police finds wanted man hiding in sofa” (currently on BBC with that headline)

My hateful newspaper do a quick check of his Twitter, and go with “Wanted criminal TRANS ALLY found CRAWLING inside leather furniture”

Yeah good ones allegedly last 200 years if stored correctly. Cheap ones are 5-10. 20 can be expected for quality CDs stored correctly.

But no matter the claimed quality, it’s a gamble. Our local library had a lot of 10-20 year old CDs that had developed microbubbles.

5 years is low range for CDs, but common enough that you should be taking backups for anything you keep longer.

True, with some modifications:

Some games had online activation built in. Some games would simply not install on a second or third machine without getting permission from the publisher.

Regular CDs have a lifespan of 5-10 years, shorter if not stored ideally. Almost all games had sophisticated mechanisms to prevent backups being taken.

Even if you could take a backup, record associations and publishers lobbied to make it illegal and punishable by severe fines in many countries.

Sony shipped fucking root kits on their CD that would hijack your PC and screw with backup software. EA shipped CDs with autoexexuting software that would actually delete CloneCD and other CD copying software and prevent new installes from working. My copy of Sims 2 came with that bullshit and OH MAN I was not happy about it.

At 50 your hands finally heal from that injury at 45, so you can start punching walls at full strength again.

Grey market key seller? Yes you can get your key banned and maybe get your account in trouble on whichever platform (Steam, Origin, etc) you use.

They sell cheap because they get them illegitimately. Leaked press keys, keys bought with stolen credit cards, keys scammed from developers, datamined keys…

What all of these sources have in common is that the actual developer gets nothing at best, and a chargeback fee at worst. All your money goes to middle men.

Just pirate instead. It’s more responsible.

It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.

They speak what their parents and neighbors speak. This is constant even when borders shift.

The formal language they conform to is the nearest administrative region, usually in the country controlling the town.

I’d love if it was more popular!

Mighy try and make at home. Parfait ice cream is reasonably uncomplicated. Wonder if I should make it from dried apples.

Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.
