SPAM random annoying things

Why is a 1TB microSD card three times the price of a 500GB one? But then why are there cheap 982GB microSDs as well, which obviously have some non-obvious drawback I'm not seeing.

In other news, GLS parcel delivery's tracking site is dogshit; ordered a Steam Deck for the boy's Christmas present and watched it go in and out of (apparently) the same Dutch logistics centre four times now.

I'm trying to find a high volume HDD which isn't £500 and it's insanity. Why is storage so expensive over the last 2-3 years.

Not sure what you might be after but I picked up 2 of these recently: https://www.morecoco.co.uk/a?pid=MG10ACA20TE>>Toshiba

Both passed burn in without issue and seem solid so far, realistic usable is 18TB iirc.

Arseholes that do 40 in a national speed limit, with no opportunity to overtake. 10 miles, stuck behind the prick.

I get that quite a bit down here in Devon, although being on a motorcycle I tend to be able to overtake a bit sooner providing they've not formed a queue. I also find these types of slower drivers then seem to speed in village areas where the limit is 40/30 mph.

Fucking weak bolts and a leaky fucking garage roof. Have replaced the bolts and rubber washers and caps. Leaked overnight. Bought some steel and 4 miles of the heaviest plastic, gonna cover the garage roof in plastic, bolt the steel to the sides/fronts so doesn't fly off when a bird flies by.

Just starting faffing about with Google Gemini (AI thingy)

I am right annoyed that it will not great me with "Hello, sir, How may I be of assistance?" complains about inclusivity...

It does the snippy English oxbridge female voice just fine, just refuses to greet you as one would expect a phone/car stereo to respond to it's master.

Games gone!

BBC have now decided you can't record BBC shows in Ireland and you can't get iPlayer. So it's watch live like a cave person or the high seas, but the high seas have become liken unto deserts recently, so can I find the Outnumbered Christmas special for the missus? Can I fuck.

That sucks.

Or rather, it would, if Auntie produced anything worth watching than Attenborough's nature documentaries, Cox's Science and The Sky At Night.

But I realise, my viewing habits maybe aren't representative. So I do actually feel for you. (The high seas seem to provide for me still tho - where you looking?)

So - Islamists murder man carrying out legal free speech activity in Sweden:

Man who burned Quran 'shot dead in Sweden'

Salwan Momika, 38, is reported to have been killed in an apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm.

www.bbc.co.uk

He burned a copy of the Quran - and was murdered for it.

The random annoying thing? Countries where this is done (Sweden / Denmark) rather than protect the free speech of people to criticise or ridicule dangerous murderous religious ideologies - to double down on protection of the very western value that delivered us from the real mental and physical slavery of these despicable religions - are pandering to these violent zealots and granting them their wishes.

Shame on these spineless despicable governments.

Europe is due a revolution at some point, so is the US. I wonder what the triggering point will be @Scouse

The US is undergoing it's revolution right now - purge of leftist thinking from government institutions.

The UK's started with Labour in 1997 and the radical functional changes blarists instituted - including breaking up the UK. Starmer's going to finish off the blarist revolution - he's zero interest in the rich, or fixing the NHS, or the environment, or even growth as a concept - that's just the guff they're talking about to entertain the proles. The reforms they'll institute will lock in leftist government in the UK. Even if the Tories won the next election, the reforms will ensure leftist thought and control is the reality on the ground, and bunkum to the controling party.

It's been interminable living under the blarist reforms. Under Starmer we're going to "get" social rights I reckon. Which, of course, means he's going to take away our freedoms and tell us why we're all wrong.

If we're talking revolution revolution - i.e. the people "rise up", violent sort. Well, I hope not. If you ever wanted to know what that was like - you should read (and I mean read) Dickens.

Someone needs to get Trump a huge cake for his birthday and have the most outrageous screaming drag queen jump out of it wearing a big black strap-on cock covered in KY with helium filled pink condoms filling the Oval Office.

Looks like she's spent the last 30 years in the bottom of a bottle. Or two

At least she's good enough to bag her dog's poo.
