37 hours in among the waves and half of that under the sun while the other half is in darkness, probably awake all that time?

She must be both physically and mentally scarred for life.

Can we get gun and personal shield versions soon?

The first one should be The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Don't do Gothmog dirty like this. A disfigured and crippled orc being able to command a marching army and dodge half a house thrown at him is definitely in better shape than these pedophiles that can't even sit on a chair straight.

Preemptive strikes exist. Law does not need to apply after the fact if the law is allowed preventive measures.

And arguing about if one should take such a preventive strike, yes they should since the perp has already declared threatening intentions to cause immediate harm.

Which was also used repeatedly over the course of 3-4 months to gain access via a non-corporate laptop without the IT doing anything about it.

Fucking medieval torture mindset with permanent crusade base.

This is definitely a huge improvement in the face of the last year's general election. It goes to show that even if people still didn't believe in a proper alternative to Erdoğan as a president, they are fed up with his party AKP's governing in their cities and towns.

More than 20 out of 81 provinces/states in Turkey changed hands this time, both in governors and city councils.

The main opposition party, secular and founding party of modern Turkey, CHP, has finally seen a very sharp rise in local governing popularity after not being able to win some cities for more than 50 years. It didn't lose any major city government or councils to right-wing AKP or other parties, although it lost a few smaller ones due to uncommon events, like electing to continue with the same controversial governor in earthquake stricken Hatay.

Another notable thing is that the Kurdish party has consolidated its local government in the mostly-Kurdish populated east provinces of the country. This has been the trend in the last few elections after AKP's popularity faded in the region, but Erdoğan decided to use his emergency powers he gained after 2016's controversial coup attempt to appoint his own party's nominees as governors instead. This election sees the elected Kurdish governors gaining their seats back.

One last notable thing to talk about how YRP, a rather more conservative, shariah law touting party, is growing in AKP-heavy central provinces. They had gained a few seats in the parliament last year, after forming a coalition with AKP.

As the article says, 2 local governors of the major cities, Ekrem İmamoğlu in Istanbul and Mansur Yavaş in the capital city Ankara, have won the elections once again in landslide vote differences (~10 and ~28 respectively). They both are and have been the main opposition CHP's candidates these last 2 local elections, and are seen as the primary candidates for the next presidential election in 2028, with the political atmosphere being unable to generate any popular candidates in AKP due to the shadow of Erdoğan looming heavy.

Can't wait for the GTA Online players to swat me in my home... wait we don't have a SWAT that automatically kicks doors in without any question, so shove that threat up yours, hackers!

Jokes aside, the "swatting" being a term and applicable threat method is pretty sad. Especially when the duty officers responsible for your protection can be the ones that can put your life at risk with unverified reasons bordering institutional paranoia.

Last month when Hamas terrorists were alleged to be doing the same, according to IDF, American diplomats were pressuring other countries to stop crying fro human rights and just condemn Hamas.

Can we start condemning IDF as a terrorist and genocider organization under control of a rogue government lead by a tyrant now? Just a little bit, please? We will condemn Hamas again, too, if it matters.

It is also an honorable course of action. Developer gets paid for their work, you use quality service with convenience.

Don't even need the damn button. Yesterday while playing some fullscreen game with critical network usage (CSGO) my windows 10 with edited group policies and registry keys to block updates just switched to the outlook from the old mail program and ran it in the foreground (behind the game).

Microsoft doesn't give a fuck about the user consent, the settings for updates, settings for game focus, out-of-the-way advanced user controls etc. These settings don't even need to be defaulted without consent via updates, it seems they outright don't work.
