I’m not sure how I’m supposed to prove an opinion. At the same time, I’m not sure it follows that a statement that would be very difficult to prove either way would necessarily count as a lie. I wish you all the best with your world view.

Having not lived in UK for a while I won’t offer up anything local. However, there is this from my current homeland:

It is. A lot of councils set limits arbitrarily low to frustrate drivers. It makes for easy pickings if you set up a speed camera or frequent the area with mobile speed traps.

Yup. Wasn’t even their fault. They somehow managed to blame the fallout from the US subprime mortgage crisis on them.

Just go and unalive someone else’s. They probably won’t mind. If they complain you can show them this handy infographic.

It took around 15 years in the UK for blaming the previous government to finally stop working.

Yup. Having kids is an order of magnitude worse for the environment than anything else you could do to lower your carbon footprint.

TPM + secure boot on my laptop. TPM only on my desktop.

Automatic high beams are a new hell. I thought people were just retarded until I hired a newer car recently. Then I realised what everyone else was doing… trusting faulty technology, and possibly being lazy in the process.

Mmm… ditch Garmin, strap a raspberry pi + car battery to your arm, & away you go.

This bugs the hell out of me too. I don’t think I’ve even started it yet for this very reason.

Ha. No. Just standing.

Re: sitting down, I’ve experienced (more than once) an unpleasant dampness soaking into my shorts/trousers from the seat fabric. I stand unless I have no choice.

Guess it depends on the games. I have no games in my collection that won’t run on Linux, either natively or via Proton. The only games I’m aware of where there are massive issues are ones incorporating certain forms of anti-cheat software.

The visor in that suit’s helmet probably just shows ads all the time.

I’m still trying to work out which end of the turtle Trump’s head has poked out from.

I would suggest trying a new game without the food & water need. It really lets you focus on the plot. I also needed to look through a few YouTube videos at various points, because some things aren’t obvious or are easy to miss.

The bezels were already pretty large on the LCD deck.

I’ve never understood buying a car on credit. My car’s 17 years old now. Bought it when it was 8 years old. Insurance is €390/yr.
