There may be a degree of FAFO for many I suspect.

I’ll need a new home for the Carrera five spokes- 18”, lightest Porsche wheels. N rated PS2’s but 6/7 years old now.

But- if this is a case of banning someone for saying something that the mods don’t like, then the suggestion from the passage I posted above is that that’s not permitted.

Depends. You have the right not to serve someone- but not for a reason that is illegal.

Don’t give that as the reason and you are generally fine- for example you suspected they were using fake ID rather than they’re black.

Our Brexit Freedoms, per Badenoch.

Entertainingly it’s the Porsche forum that immediately deletes any comment that is not 100% aligned with bat-shit right wing ideology. Going to be interesting to post something revolutionary such as “Brexit appears not to have been brilliantly executed” post OSA and then file a report with Ofcom if the post gets nuked.

225 front and 265 rear?

Tyre choice- 8x18 front and 9.5x18 rear. Which Michelin’s to go for? Bonus points for being N rated but I’m not sure I care that much about that.

I’m a member on other forums where my posts have been deleted for very vanilla left of centre political opinions, because they hurt the feelings of the far right members.

Given this was penned by the last government I imagine that this whole section might be interesting: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/22/enacted

If the forums terms of service forbid being irritating about say right wing politics, is that breaching someone’s freedom of expression or do TOS trump OSA?

It would be a huge loss for LFGSS to go, it’s been immensely valuable to me over the years and remains so- now more than ever in some ways as I’m so far from London/the UK, and it allows me to open a window back to that whenever I want to feel part of that community again.

I also owe a huge debt of thanks to a forum organised cycling trip to ride Monte Zoncolan some years ago now.

I like the sound of moving to be a sub-forum of the pignole (sp?) fixed forum.

Happy Friday (?)

In which case I genuinely don’t know what that hotel had done to the power supply.

I try to avoid them whenever possible as they are off the hook crazy in terms of charges to fly with a bike.

110 in Cairns, nominally, and given the wall socket struggled to charge my phone I suspect a lot less.

A financial services company called Synapse just collapsed in the US, turns out that customer funds were not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance and the customers have lost almost everything.

DOGE advisors are asking Trump if he'll abolish FDIC altogether, which would strip every bank account of protections.

Will Americans roll over and accept being ruined at the whim of the oligarch class?

They optimise it for the Heathrow - Sydney flight I think, that's half an hour wait whilst they hose out the cabin and hose in some fuel. You get off, wander out into the hall, into a departure lounge and then back onto your plane- same seat you just left usually.

I'm flying back to the UK on Monday, with a ticket I bought in January, which feels slightly odd for some reason.

Between Dubai, Qatar, Singapore and Hong Kong, which one is the PC choice?

Two of those have slavery, one's rapidly losing any semblance of rule of law (that isn't instantly amendable to be what mainland China wants it to be) and the final one is technically a democracy but is in reality so heavily gerrymandered that it's an authoritarian one party state.

None are great, but Singapore definitely wins if compared to the others (unless it's including countryside, where HK wins hands down).

Amen

The software that we use is constantly being probed for bugs by researchers and hackers, the first to enable what they find to be fixed* and the second in order to exploit said bugs to attack people/organisations.

What that announcement is saying is that as of the 9th of July anyone using Outlook who received a maliciously crafted email with a link in it would, if that linked were to be clicked, allow the attacker to execute commands on the machine in question.

Microsoft fixed that, but this is a constant process - so the older your version is the more likely it is to be vulnerable to this type of attack.

In general you don’t want to allow yourself to be in a situation where you are running software that’s not received updates - especially something as widely used as Outlook as it’s very heavily attacked.

*Unless they work for a government of course…

I just want the paddle going across to start the timer, and the paddle going back to stop it.

Why do you not use the one on your scales? The Timemore black mirror/Acaia definitely have auto timers.

Because they won't trigger until the liquid hits (I believe, I have a pair of scales that cost me $6 from the local cooking equipment place) and I have a pre-infusion set that floods the puck with line pressure water before the pump goes on, which I want to include.

The traditional Conservative* things like small state, de-regulation, free trade and a focus on the economy have all been torched by Boris "fuck business" Johnson, the TCA, Truss and then Sunak burning down the university sector (one of our key exports in a falling export sector).

The UK has failed to secure it's borders for what, the sixth time now, due to lack of state capacity to perform the inspections, and is also currently an outlier in Europe with it's 180 day visa waiver, which again is a reflection of a lack of state capacity to stamp people in and out again.

Choices made by the Tories (largely, but not exclusively around the type of Brexit they pursued) have lead to an increase in civil servants (as jobs done by Brussels now have to be done by the UK), and yet there is still a requirement for between 50-75,000 more civil servants if the UK wanted to meet it's legal requirements around border security.

Which I suspect means that the ground the right has to fight on that is least shaky is "brown people - don't you just hate them?" And I think that's going to find a ceiling - or maybe I just really hope it will.

Talking to people on another forum that literally venerate Tommy Robinson (a man whose world view my Grandfather and his brothers literally fought against) is extremely depressing however -but they're squarely in the white, male, over 50 with barely any education demographic, and that's finite.

*Other than the racism and endemic corruption that is

How old is the version of Outlook that you have reverted to?
