SomeoneSomewhere:

I am struggling to imagine a usage for mass squared, though.

It looks like it has some application in subatomic theory.

Other dimensions are leaking into ours...

Bunnings make a practice of running manufacturer's details through a confuser before putting them on their website although the product in question could easily produce leaks.

Meanwhile over in the Annoy thread they're talking about food prices in gram metres.

I guess the bigots have got tired of complaining about Māori place names. Now they want to complain about the possibility of the Muslim call to prayers being played on loudspeakers on special occasions (not even every day) in Wellington.

I guess techno and country and rap and other drunken noise from bars on Courtenay Place is fine, but the refined tones of Islam are just too exotic for closed minds. I used to enjoy hearing the call to prayers when I stayed in Morocco. It is not in any way disturbing or unpleasant. Certainly better than hearing a mob of drunks belting out rugby songs!

You've got me wondering what kind of pics they have on their insta page / feed (or whatever you call it).

Send in a pic of our product being used .....

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

The question: Why does teams decide to hide channels randomly?

My answer, as typed: Because it's a buggy piece of @#$%

Which, upon pressing Enter, changed to: Because it's a buggy piece of Everyone

Case in point!

And why does it update itself every couple of days, move where it is located on the task bar and unpin itself. Could you make it less user friendly?

Especially coupled with it taking ages and multiple attempts to even get it to recognise that you've right clicked its task bar icon.

In New Zealand, manufacturers may require attribution, particularly in relation to warranties and consumer guarantees.

This is different than when a business sells products, which must comply with consumer laws such as the Fair Trading Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act.

National Crime Agency UK: NCA shuts down major fraud platform responsible for 1.8 million scam calls
...
Russian Coms was available as a handset and, latterly, as a web app... It “encrypted phone calls”, “instant handset wipe”, international calls, voice changing services, and 24/7 support.

An example of a typical scam involved offenders spoofing the number of a bank to gain the trust of a victim, before convincing them that their account had been subject to fraudulent activity. They would then be persuaded to transfer their money to another account in order to safeguard their savings.

The fraudsters were able to access victims’ money in a number of ways. They impersonated reputable companies and stole funds for goods which were never delivered; gained full access to bank accounts; and arranged for the collection of physical debit and credit cards from victims on the pretence that they needed replacing.

Victims of all ages suffered losses, and calls were made to individuals in 107 different countries around the world, including the USA, New Zealand, Norway, France and the Bahamas.

The handset could only be used to make spoofed calls. It was loaded with a number of fake applications that had no functionality, to make it look like an everyday smartphone if seized by law enforcement. This was in addition to several VPN apps, allowing the user to hide their IP address, and a burn app that instantly wiped the phone after being activated. A six-month contract cost between £1,200 and £1,400, depending on collection and delivery.

There's a website I use regularly that has recently rebranded. They've managed to have their mouse pointer showing in one of the images.

Veteran anti-whaling activist arrested in Greenland on 2012 Japanese charge.

As of 2001, Japan has a conviction rate of over 99.8%, even higher than contemporary authoritarian regimes

Japanese jails may be clean, but they are also brutal.

Japan vs. Paul Watson

parody: The Government of Japan made an ad about the arrest of Captain Paul Watson, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative
