- Comment on when someone is considered trespassing, are they 'legally trespassing ' or 'illegally trespassing' 1 month ago:
In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. “southern” UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.
So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what’s wrong?

I use it on every phone handset at work… I guess it’s the switch PoE not the pc mono but the effect is the same. If you are talking pc mobo PoE I guess it could be handy if you had a PoE camera…

drawings do not exploit anyone.
Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Hi it’s your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) …

If it was an SSD… Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete… However the format is broken, as is the drive.

They have us where they want us…
- Comment on When people talk about returning the cart after shopping, does that include putting it in a corral, or do you have to take it all the way to the front of the store to be a good person? 9 months ago:
First off - not a retail employee.
Untidy carts in the corral, for some reason, annoy me. Even if it takes a few minutes to sort them, for size and straightness, I have to - much to the annoyance of people who are waiting for me to get back to the car.
I guess it’s irritation at the bad people who cba to be considerate to the cart collectors. Ffs you aren’t doing someone’s job, you are making their lives a bit less shit for 30s of effort.
- Comment on Delivery attempt at 2am - charged to redeliver! 9 months ago:
Hermes… Oh wait, they rebranded as Evri because of bad reputation.
It’s somewhat beside the point that the recipient has no contract with Evri to deliver, that’s all on the sender; what should happen is the recipient just ignores the redelivery charge notice and tells the sender that it hasn’t been delivered… Let the two parties to the contract sort it out.
- Comment on Printer Offline (not really offline) issue 11 months ago:
Guys
Problem solved - nope, let’s be honest worked around.
You know that saying in Technology & Design “never update the software” with respect to CNC machines etc.?
well it seems if I install the latest and greatest from XYZ the printer is not recognised. If I keep the original versions everything works (whatever version of windows is installed). So now I have to work out a way of stopping the auto-update…
- Comment on Stonehenge campaigners’ last-chance bid to save site from road tunnel 11 months ago:
Hmmm… Quite happy to sit corrected here. If they are using TBMs then other than where the west of the tunnel is going to be I don’t see a problem.
Was definitely going to be c&c originally but that may have been many years ago (the whole tunnel the A303 past Stonehenge thing has been going for 30 years or more).
I haven’t kept up with the project since moving away a few years ago.
- Comment on Stonehenge campaigners’ last-chance bid to save site from road tunnel 11 months ago:
I think (as an ex local) that a tunnel isn’t a bad idea per se. However the intention is to use cut and cover to construct it, which will be massively destructive - both to landscape and archaeology.
Perhaps a case could be made for reuse of the HS2 TBMs currently entombed near Euston station?
The A303 has always been a terrible road and there has never been anyone willing to commit to more than sticking plaster solutions at pinch points.
- Comment on Printer Offline (not really offline) issue 11 months ago:
Now that is something I wouldn’t have thought about.
Will try it and see - anything is worth a go!
