But can you wreck a conversation like a group of Kirovs?

You can get all the classic C&Cs on Steam and you can play a good chunk of them online using CNC online. I agree though, we need a new C&C Generals.

Fair points. I was mostly thinking of situations like downloading using a separate device, writing to a usb drive or SD card and installing via that. Downloading an installer and using it is just downloading without using an app store.

I’ve always took side-loading to mean installing from local storage, as opposed to downloading from remote storage. As far as I’m concerned downloading from a third party app store should not be treated as side-loading.

None of that relates to this murder as based on the description of settler concerns, which are more of an issue in the West Bank rather than Gaza, I’m guessing that this happened in the West Bank. (Where Hamas is not the government.)

Whether the murderers are IDF or settler militants is immaterial to the point of this being an unjustified killing of a Palestinian shepherd living in the West Bank, who is rather unlikely to be a Hamas fighter or involved in the 7th October attack.

How does the atrocities of Hamas relate to the murder of a Palestinian shepherd?

But it comes with your choice of meme.

If the government has even the smallest modicum of dignity, he’ll resign or be sacked. It’s one thing to enjoy crass and offensive jokes, I certainly do, but there’s a time and a place for such humour. I mean he’s the Home Secretary for fucks sake! How in the world did he think that that kind of joke would go down well?

I’ve seen first hand the aftermath of someone’s drink being spiked… It’s not something I ever want to deal with again. Though I’ll bet it was far worse for the unfortunate victim of it.

So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that’s the physical equivalent of this situation.

I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for… By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I’m using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for… At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.

The WHO are just relaying information from the Chinese government. So I wouldn’t trust it.

The only thing eyebrow raising about this is that they were bombers (assuming they actually were). Normally this sort of thing is done with recon aircraft.

I much prefer complaining about the weather.
