Honestly, talking to procurement staff in large organisations could do far more for BDS than any politician :-p

The only procurement officer I know personally is already on board

Selling surplus peak production to grid operators doesn't make any sense without subsidies - the rates are low, the infrastructure limiting, and operators often blatantly lie.

Mining with surplus peak solar production is essentially free money

All the above, I think

Talk about brand public image among young people.

Talk about the need for governments to respect everybody's property rights regardless of religion.

Talk about the enormous not-very-hidden costs of war to the non-Defence sectors of the economy, especially the diversion of spending money from their products to buy bombs and bullets in other lands.

Cooler than M'sia? Really?

Its landscape is beautiful in photos, but nothing Sarawak and Sabah can't match.

I haven't ever visited Brunei, but my impression from others is "UAE with jungles" - an autocratic petrostate that practises a strict form of Sharia in public and who-knows-what in private.

Its wealthier than Malaysia, but also more economically fragile, government-centered and petro-dependant.

But I haven't been there! What can you tell us about Brunei?

Other countries have other problems. And they're rarely obvious to outsiders...

Wait until you learn about the various less-than-fully implementations... :-p

Perhaps they should redirect some resources from narrative control to actual policing work.

The budgets involved are gargantuan, it can't be that hard to find people with journalism-major infiltration skills.

But they'd need to want to...

:sigh:

Humans suck.

Sextorters should be arrested and charged with extortion. But that would require actual police work.

Surprised Photoshop/Gimp aren't held to ransom politically like this already, surely they're even easier to use for this sort of thing? Unless you're trying to do it on a truly industrial scale...

Hmmm. Sadly, no. Hodling removes BTC from circulation, making short squeezes more practical.

For stability and to minimise manipulation, we need actual economic activity in BTC, ideally in perishable goods with fairly inelastic demand.

A pencil and notepaper could be used to create CSAM.

Why is machine learning held to a different standard?

And aren't both of those different to actual CSA harming actual people?

True enough.

Alternative take - they're legitimising the option of wearing your own mask in highly-surveilled locations.

"No officer, I wouldn't dream of trying to hide from the Freedom Facial Recognition. I'm just afraid of bat viruses and wouldn't want to spread one to children, the elderly and the immunocompromised.

And I left my phone at home because it was flat. It was flat because I didn't buy this season's iPhone 9000 yet and I'm sad."

Ahahaha!

DEI freaks don't dig foxholes or stand guard on piquet.

They control budgets, create new offenses, and TikTok as you are sent to die.

You googled it! Bravo!

I won't be staying away from radioactive material, from oxygen free radicals, or from exercise-induced micro fractures in my bones.

And neither will you.

You have a very mass-media set of beliefs about health that are not supported by evidence. Read more science.

Clearly not. You've read less than my ten year old.

Google "homeostasis" and start from there.

The body is evolved to deal with particular challenges, and can actually suffer fatal malfunctions without them.

Its plain you don't know anything on this topic that wouldn't fit in 140 chars. And you apparently haven't read a single paper.

LOL

At first I thought you might be an incurious highschool teacher or general practitioner parroting from an induction briefing.

Now I realise, you got nothin'!

I do, and they're watching gaming videos on YT.

But they nod and put on serious faces when I tell them I'm going to a protest today, and why.

I fear this is the more common situation...

Preorder wen???
