By some traditions, yes. Volcanic sacrifice was particularly popular in the Victorian Era, for example. Unfortunately for fans of the method (and fortunately for those who live in these areas) most of the best volcanoes were in the outer territories of the former British Empire, which are now independent.
I’m sure Ben Nevis is due another pop any time now, but until then “1, 2, 3, into the sea!” :)
That’s a very good question. I think in that case we have to assume “drowned: apply to join the EU”. If he turns up mysteriously alive at a later date, we can set fire to him etc “in arrears”.
These are very sensible and fair plans - though you have to be careful not to make it too much fun, else people might be inclined to say “delay the EU application another month, next week they’re throwing Farage in with some bears! I must see that!”.
Referendums don’t always work, so instead we should throw Nigel Farage into the sea.
If he drowns, we apply to join the EU.
If he floats, we fish him out of the sea and try and set him on fire. If he burns, we apply to join the EU. If he doesn’t burn, we “nexit” him with a guillotine and apply to join the EU.
Burtle zed.
This is a good and thorough answer, and it is likely entirely correct.
I still think traitorous cunts made a ton of money off it though :)
Because some people stood to become personally very rich off the back of it, and were willing to damage a whole nation for their own benefit, because they’re traitorous cunts.
Nothing if the legislation was written properly.
Not good if the legislation was written badly.
I’m not quite sure what you’re on about there, sorry.
I literally only spoke of the people who are caught in a debt-poverty trap, who you accused of being rich people that just wanted free money, rather than people who genuinely needed support.
I didn’t even comment on anything else you have referred to.
This is people living in a week-to-week manner, who’ve had to borrow £300 off a pay-day lender to cover a shortfall (sometimes an emergency or unexpected outgoing, sometimes there were just fewer hours of work available) because they literally have no other money.
They’ve then found out the predatory, scummy lender’s practices and interest rates mean that a few months later, despite paying back every spare penny they can afford, they now owe £2000 to that lender, pushing them deeper and deeper into a poverty they cannot ever escape from.
They didn’t ask for the debt to be paid off, but it’s definitely a need, not a want. There’s no need to be spreading that sort of victim-blaming nonsense.
Anyway, they now owe those scum £0.
Ideally, most of this situation wouldn’t even exist in the first place, and it’s a shame this is the only process currently available to help these people, but this is literally saving people’s lives and though perhaps not by itself lifting anyone out of poverty, it’s certainly keeping people out of more severe poverty.
Please just give us physical mouse buttons as an option.
I’ve got quite a lot of racing games - though I tend to only use the Steam Deck for the 3rd person arcade-like fun ones. I prefer realistic sims on a wheel & pedals setup.
Anyway, there’s probably some repeats on here, but these are all ones I have played on Steam Deck and felt worked well.
This is good, solid, scientific advice - however, you no longer have to destroy it - I can sell you these small magnets to wrap round the cables, which will attract and then trap any escaped nanobots. They will get clogged up quite quickly though, so you need to replace them every month - but don’t worry, we’ve got an easy and convenient subscription for them. Normal magnets won’t work, by the way - you need the special ones we make.
No, they hide all the ai inside the actual key itself.
If you prise up the edge of the key and look under it, you’ll see all the ai nanobots hidden under there.
AI nanobots look a bit like crumbs, fluff and dust - so if you can see any of those under your AI key, you know the AI is still there.

I use the “control nipple” occasionally, but I use the physical mouse buttons every day always.
Even though they’re slightly oddly positioned to use with the touchpad, they’re a million times better than not having any buttons at all.
Yes. Unless you have any problems, stick with it. It’s easy to use, it’s stable, it’s pretty well supported, it’s common enough that there’s a lot of advice available. You already know it and don’t appear to have any issues or complaints with it.
There’s no harm in trying some other distros on a live USB if you’re feeling curious, but there’s no reason to change for the sake of it. In case you weren’t aware, a live USB runs completely off the USB stick - so you can test it on an existing machine, and it won’t alter any installed files.
There’s a chance that with a very new machine with very new components that Mint may have a compatibility problem (by default it uses slightly older, more tested kernels or software versions) - you can normally fix this by manually installing newer versions, or using the “Linux Mint Edge” version (which uses newer kernels by default) - or by trying a different distro which uses newer kernels/packages by default.
Sometimes people get this funny thing in their head that Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS etc are “beginner distros” and after you’ve used them for a few years, you need to “upgrade” to a more complicated one - but no, for the majority of purposes, you can carry on using the one you like, until they stop making it, or you stop liking it.
