If they build something to attack missiles immediately after launch, how do the Americans even know who is the target?

Like, you're choosing whether or not to shoot down a missile that launches in the general direction of Canada and America, but at launch you can't see exactly which?

Piracy, eh? I wonder where that typewriter font came from.

I have a keyboard like this, yes it came with the cable (same A male plug each end) and yes it's used as a USB device.

Exactly - not only can all modern cars remotely be accessed, anyone with access to those [insecure] maintenance pages could hypothetically:

  • Track you on the GPS
  • List your regular journeys
  • Use the cameras to see who is in the car right now
  • Wait for you to pass a certain remote area on one of your regular journeys
  • Disable the car
  • Unlock the doors
  • Turn on the interior light

At that point, I wonder what access the car has to affect whether the driver's phone can make a call...

+1, hope they do well, and 🙄 at the idea of british laws being consistent!

Look, I'm all for people researching other countries on Wikipedia, great on you!

I would just say that in very tense situations where the exact details of a law very much matters, the difference between different legal systems might be worth some consideration.

For example you link a useful police.uk document which lists a law whose wikipedia page mentions a different law applying in Scotland, where these people are.

It also links to a legislation.gov.uk page which has a "show geographical extent" feature on the left navbar. Applying this filter to the linked "Section 66" page, it shows "E+W" (England and Wales).

I'm aware that there is also some guidance about whether nipples are genitals, which might be relevant to the Scottish situation. And that nudists were specifically considered when writing some laws (as you mentioned, to protect them)

Just feel like trans people protesting in such a visible way, in a particular part of the UK, who will defininitely be featured in newspapers... it seems like they would have legal guidance from someone with a lot more local knowledge than, for example, knowing which countries comprise the UK?

UK or England and Wales?

Same but when you specifically ask for celcius/centigrade in the search prompt, and the first two pages of results either give the temperature in F or just as ⁰ without any units.

Deviant talked about a movie idea where setting off the sprinklers might actually be a better bet than fire call points when trying to escape a secure hospital in the US.

 

Thanks to poor engineering and Elon Musk, Tesla’s road rage-inducing street tank can’t even win over its core demographic: doomsday preppers

 

Any guesses for what chaos awaits us on this train?

Edit to add: This is not the ticket, it was printed alongside the actual ticket, after asking for seating preferences.

 

Apologies if not the normal format for this sub, but quite interesting to see what happens when someone with homemade license plates tries to visit a secure area.

 

Ficsit does not waste.

May be relevant to today's UK news, where local communities are having to teach this lesson again so many years later.
