No one knows how banal or how extreme the circumstances were that caused these two to do something that was obviously life-threatening.

Old men clutch their beer and complain about prices, while the young take on the world in ways that "boggle the mind"

Should the two just sit in their rooms with TV and Pills, like a "good adult should" ? Oh throw in some "surveillance video" to prove the guilt.. Guilty! to the poor house with them! shame their names in the paper...

If they died doing it then it is on them, they did it. This was more than a night out in some way we do not know.

It’s not “on them” when they purposely call mountain rescue who then have to come out and risk their lives to get two dipshits off a hill they decided to climb on a crutch.

The mind absolutely boggles. Ignoring the disrespect shown to the rescuers and the hotel, one of them set out, in December/January, to Scafell Pike, on a crutch!

It’s odd not to see Photomator in this bundle. Feels even more likely that they’re going to kill it off in place of the regular Photos app.

The US's entire economy depends on tech. They won't do anything that would compromise the integrity and viability of the international tech industrial complex.

In the US you also are not arrested for social media posts like you are in the UK or other parts of Europe.

At the moment, you can’t GET INTO the US if you have a social media post that even criticises the administration. Is that the “free speech” people in the US are so obsessed with?

I ditched Logi Options+ and use SteerMouse instead. I wouldn't call myself a mouse power-user, but it's been good enough for me.

There is a good YT channel I subscribe to from a person in Yakutsk who makes interesting videos on life there:

Reality is that the US doesn’t want control of the world. Why do we want the blame for the world’s problems. Let the world take care of their own problems.

Because the US was complicit in creating many of them

How edgy. Spoiler: we’re not too interested in appealing to America any more over here.
