Yeah I get it, it's a silly comparison as the potential threat landscape is completely different. It's a sad situation over there.

I was paid a dawn visit many years ago by an armed unit (UK). The way they ran it was two plainclothes (handguns only) officers knock on the door to assess the threat, with a van full of tooled up guys in balaclavas just outside, just in case. It was all very chill and no unnecessary stress/escalation for anyone. Seems like this would be a more sensible approach.
Unless you see it coming via unofficial means which is not uncommon in large companies. When the same department roles are advertised in bulk in different countries for example, restructuring like this is rarely done en masse so when one department goes, people start to wonder if they're next and do some digging.
All our official council funded ones are attached to lampposts at 90 degrees, sideways, looks sheite.
Deflagration-to-detonation transitions are pretty cool but my all-time favorite would be acoustic strobes.
Add a Ligne Roset Togo orange sofa cluster and it's perfect.
Just a heads up in case you haven't updated firmware on your 980. I wasn't aware of the problem and lost my c drive a few months back.
Not really a helpful comment but Acrobat Pro is an AI shitshow these days. Either hangs or crashes on launch while it attempts to give me an AI summary of the content which I didnt ask for. I use Firefox to view now instead, opens instantly without all the bloat nonsense.
Hold up so theyre banning flippers and portapacks etc?
Went to pride march recently. We obviously saw some absolutely wild costumes, lots of skin on show etc, but the furries took it to an extreme level. Like couldn't you just tone it down a little bit in public so you're not traumatising children.
I know quite a few fashion brands are quietly switching to AI. As in scrapping whole departments of people who deal with production. Waiting for the push back from consumers but something makes me think this is just going to be the new normal for a while. It's looking pretty grim for anyone working in the industry.
I don't think I've ever skipped through parts of an episode just to make it through before watching this season. The dialogue is so bad.
