Try electrical engineering! All you need is a socket and a fork!

In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.

From what I've seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that's that.

Fair warning, I'm going to make a metric fucktonne of assumptions here, but that looks like a fairly modern British housing estate there with the associated infrastructure. Most greenery and pathway maintenance are contracted out to a third party as part of a service charge these days, and it's cunts like this leaving tyre marks on the grass, or tracks where they've done an oopsie with their right hoof in 2WD mode or without traction control on that leave everyone's maintenance bill that bit higher.

That, and it's getting to the point where even a Land Rover Disco isn't so much of a "big" car as it used to be, not with these yank tanks becoming more commonplace.

The size, and the location of it right on the edge of the road, might make it seem clever, but in reality it just makes it more of a bastard to cross the road safely for adults, let alone for kids.

It's frustrating as fuck.

A good point, but if privacy is their key concern then I would imagine it would have to be a two step approach - rip out the SIM and radio, but also have a couple of plan B's such as phones with location tracking (the irony isn't lost on me), land-based EPIRB's, or satphones or whatever's needed.

That, or invest in some drop-croc martial arts!

I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.

Back in my day, it was just called "being a bit dense", especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.

😂 yeah it did seem a bit pointless putting it in the title. Maybe [spoiler] Le Mans 24h Result may have been more sensible.

That said, browsing an aggregator or social media after an event is risky business.

Great company, great game, and weirdly - incredible explosions. They felt epic.

I never really got into Colony Wars, but I did absolutely love G-Police, outstanding narrative and thoroughly enjoyable and original game.

Speaking of Cold Storage, if anyone has half hour free, NoClip did a fantastic documentary on the soundtrack to Wipeout 2097 (or Wipeout XL for our friends across the pond) - though that's something of an overreach - the soundtrack is mentioned but most of the video is an interview with Mr Wright himself and it's well worth a watch.

Is she the one that works for Nintendo, and saw Luigi in Super Mario 64 but she switched it off before it could save?

Like Microsoft Sam trying to do the Doric accent after a few pints.

Looks like a Samsung battery, about to give off some disco gas.

Yeah I would imagine so 😂

Also, if you have a list of orders, don't give them all at once. Instead, order the first drink, let them pour it, let them put it on the bar in front of you, let them walk to the POS, let them log in and add it to the bill, and when they come back and ask for payment, say "can I also get a uhhhhhhhhhhhh" and order your second drink.

Do this for as long as your order is, the larger the better. The reason for this is that staff are usually wearing pedometers and it allows them to rack up a higher score, and your fellow patrons will appreciate it because it'll add a small delay to their drinking pace, allowing them to savour the moment a little more.

idiot edit: I have absolutely replied to the wrong comment, but I'm 2cool4deleting so whatever
