Just because handcuffung is normal in the USA, that doesnt make it normal or sensible. No one gets cuffed in a normal traffic stop or house visit in the UK for example.

No, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a technical level of control over young kids devices in partnership with close supervision. It’s that or no phones until they’re 16.

Oo that looks neat. I’m wondering how I’ve missed it!

Good suggestions but I’m not convinced that’s true.

It’s certainly possible to lock some Android devices down hard without rooting them. See Samsung Knox as an example. Even a pro will have a hard time getting around that.

I trust my kids to mostly only use the devices how I say. The security is mainly to keep their mum happy and to keep them from spur of the moment bad descisions with their clicks and time.

Ok, should we call the cops?

Women are you a good friend or a friend who is a good idea of what a fish is like.

Uh. That went weird fast…

We don’t generally tip much in the UK. Staff in high end restaurants still “make bank” from tips, as wealthy people are still more likely to tip.

I’d laugh but that sounds like 8 kids had their lives ruined by some idiots.

Talking to hotel staff. About networking. Yeah… uh… Good luck!

MTU 1280 fixes all MTU problems, at a cost to performance.

Amiga Stunt Car Racer remains the best racing game of all time for me. It even had linkup multiplayer (I think…)

MVP.

I … uh… was talking about Twitter…

It isn’t on the stand but I think it’s a reasonable and value comment, to raise the question. People shouldn’t downvote you.

Who would buy it now, though? It can’t have much value left. (Edit: Twitter. Not talking about Tesla, that’s a whole different arc.)

.avi is a container format. It can contain a divx video stream or almost any other encoding of video as well as audio streams and other media. It isn’t exclusive to divx.

Or you can join Deezer and then when you’re driving you can ask for whatever you want.

And you’ll get a Christmas version. Or a “live” version. Or a fucking obscure cover. Every time. And god help you if you ask for an artist rather than a track. Yeesh. One obscure track by the artist followed by random tracks from German rock bands and other total irrelevance.

In summary: I love Deezer.

How long has your number been on the no-call list? We have a similar thing in the UK but it takes ages to have an effect. Months to a year.

I deal with the issue by wasting as much of the scam callers time as I can. It seems to be the best way to get my number removed.

I usually say “I’m Mr Smith’s personal assistant, this sounds like something he should discuss with you. Please hold the line.” And then stick them on mute and forget about it.

With the right words and intonation you can get some of them to stay on the line for AGES.

The tendency of modern mass shooters to aim for the head seems to be the result of video game culture. So it’s quite likely that video games saved Trump’s life!

Even “rubber” bullets are surprisingly lethal. Cops are supposed to skip-fire them, ie shoot the floor so that they bounce into a group of rioters.
