Banning hunt-tourism, without a credible, profitable, proven replacement, is exactly the sort of finger-wagging, all-care-no-responsibility meddling that Western elites are noted for.
If a politician can't drink it, f--- it, or shoot it up, he'll sell it to buy something he can. They are less fake about this in Africa.
No trophy hunters paying big bucks? Oh well, poison the lions and start a cattle ranch.
I wish there was a third option that didn't require a full return to colonialism.

Equity, in many senses of the word, means ownership. Originally of some sort of private property, now also (contested) ownership of the Commons.
#nostr cannot be owned! #anarchy
"Fix", like in professional sports? Goes without saying, right? :-p
Self-custody your email!

Its a bit of a nuisance setting it all up, and you need some kind of domain name.
But do it once and put a Tor hidden service in front of it for access and you've got your own Protonmail. TLS is enabled by default, too.
If you need to hide your IP, don't do this, you need a hosted service and your ability to protect the contents of your email against snooping is minimal then.
Hahaha some of us more than most.
One of my buddies still goes for "interesting" in women. He's the guy I look to to feel better about my bad choices :-p
A few exes that I know of.
Gas-lighting, suicide-threatening, super-controlling sympathy-vampire ex-girlfriend did it when I was in my mid-20s, I was so relieved bcoz I could then ditch the bitch without feeling guilty.
Useless, spendthrift, unilaterally unemployed wife 1.0 did it a few years later, to the surprise of noone except me.
I started making better choices after that
When the money is fake, the jobs are faker, and there's a monopolistic middleman for everything... Brick isn't the stupid one.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but Bitcoin doesn't HAVE an anonymity set except in the most trivial sense of the word. Your BTC can be followed, forever, with automated tools. If it hits a KYC exchange, somebody is due a visit if it pleaseth The Man to do so.
While #monero, after it changes hands a few times, the list of possible suspects is far too long to investigate, much less visit, since most of them will be too small-time to be profitable to rob for the manpower and noise it will create.
Melbourne Ports would do the same but 5x the price. Probably have already.
Brimbank would spend the same money as Darebin but only get as far as the scale architectural drawing :)
I've thought about doing that and getting a SIP number for calls and weak 2FA.
How do you take calls, if that's not a silly question?
This is true.
But the difference between Malaysia and Australia is how high up you need to be before you can start demanding bribes.
In Malaysia, even a traffic cop can demand bribes. In Australia you need to be a city mayor at least. Singapore, you need to be a cabinet minister!
Ground Effect Vehicles are funny things, they fit somewhere between hydrofoil watercraft and rotary-wing aircraft.
Reverse-Delta scales down better than Ekranoplans. There are commercially available high-speed passenger ferry models, I believe.
Unfortunately. Ppl expect 24/7.
If I leave it and go out, wife usually calls it within ten minutes and wonders why I'm not answering...
Totally agree with the above.
If you suddenly and unexpectedly find yourself in an actual war zone, then handgun is still best - you'll be a low priority target if you look unarmed, and you can ditch it if you're about to be captured.
Guys, you are thinking about this all wrong.
The firearm most likely to be used in a crime against you is a small calibre handgun.
Any rifle or shotgun is overmatch for that.
And marksmanship and "pucker factor" beats firepower every time.
