I notice that this post currently has three downvotes.

Whoever downvoted a video of a cute bunny posted to c/aww is probably in the wrong place.

To be more specific: you can drink the liquid part of the soup. You get soup with big chunks of meat and veg in it which doesn’t make it a stew even though you wouldn’t be able to drink it.

I think that you need to reread the comment that you replied to because you got the wrong end of the stick on that one.

They were talking about barring kids and vulnerable people from accessing the internet so that the bad guys can’t get to them.

No racism involved at all.

She’s an amazing woman. It must be so hard to go through this in private let alone with all this news coverage.

There are two lines mentioning being a director of a company:

• chairman or director of a limited company
• director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company

So if it is a limited company you need to be a board member but if it is a non limited company you can be a director, manager or personnel manager.

The second one is a bit harder to achieve for fraudulent purposes.

Director of a limited company is easy enough to up and abandon as there’s no limit on the type of company.

Just ask all the people who have been on the bad end of a transaction with a shitty two or three director company that went bankrupt and closed down when people started chasing for money. The next day those same people are directors of a new company doing the same thing.

Some people expect prices to go down when inflation is “fixed” but that doesn’t happen.

I used to work on an old DOS product and we didn’t have a debugger so we used to have a DEBUG command line argument with

    
if (DEBUG) printf(“debugging”);

  

to try to see what was happening and the number of times that code alone fixed the problem was scary.

It didn’t take long but they have fixed that now. You can’t do a dot as you have to draw a circle around the dot they have.

I don’t get that mindset. Why is it ok to shoot through people to get to the bad guys?

If the police did that when criminals took hostages it wouldn’t be acceptable so why is it acceptable for Israel?

They are responsible for their own votes but if the politicians aren’t able to sell their ideas then the blame is also on them.

I blame Brexit on those that voted leave but I also blame the remain campaign for sleepwalking into the Brexit referendum and not doing enough to counter the leave campaign’s lies.

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

Once they pay that fine, Russia will be sorted.

Yes.

Unfortunately, those solutions aren’t acceptable because we have to think about the shareholders and the politicians who like the lobbying money.

At this point climate scientists are like the boy who cried wolf except there’s a huge fucking wolf that everyone can see but nobody wants to admit to in case they are asked to pay to find a solution.

It is arbitrary, yes. Part of the reason for daylight savings time was simply to match most people’s waking hours to a standard time throughout the year.

You can make the time that you have more useful though.

There are activities that you can do in the dark and some that you can’t do in the dark. I imagine that they wanted to sleep in late which was cutting into hunting time so they changed the time zone so that it was dark while they were sleeping and light a bit later to allow for more hunting.

It’s why we have daylight saving time.

It shocked me decades ago when I joined Facebook and they suggested friends that I thought that I had zero connection to on the internet.

e.g. my next door neighbour even though I didn’t put my address in and only knew them for a quick chat over the fence.

Now they’ll have so much info about people who’ve never dealt with them due to them being able to slurp up everyone’s contacts with WhatsApp (I have no idea how they can do that in a GDPR compliant way).

I bet that the EU wishes that they’d added clauses to allow members to be booted out.

I wasn’t correcting you. They are registered in the EU but not in the UK as far as I can tell and these complaints are from people in the UK. Maybe they have been approved but not completed the process yet.

Here is their page on the FCA https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000002zyAwNAAU and it says under activities and services that they are registered for payment services and e-money but it doesn’t say that they do banking. It also says that they are not covered by the financial services compensation scheme.

If you look at the page for Barclays Bank (https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000003WgItdAAF) you can see that it says that they do banking and are covered by the scheme.

But whether they are a bank or not, they definitely failed in their fraud prevention duties when they failed to detect and block 137 transactions to three new contacts in an hour.
