It used to be possible as networks could advertise that they owned IP ranges that they didn’t actually own using BGP, which is what’s used for high level routing. This is what China did around 2010 where they allegedly routed all the internet traffic in the world through China for like 10 minutes. I guess somebody could do that and then just drop every packet.

I expect that’s not possible anymore though, but I’ve been out the game a while so I don’t know for sure.

I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of people out there who know exactly who Banksy is. It’ll be like with The Stig, all the journalists knew who he was but the mystery was more interesting and sold more papers.

It is but this kind of cultural change takes generations. I remember a couple of years ago seeing a newspaper article celebrating Rabat having its first female taxi driver, then a few months later I saw a video of a kid being beaten by her Dad because she had a boyfriend. There’s a big cultural divide between the people who’ve been raised with traditional values and the newer generations who been raised by the internet. Moroccans are not worldly people.

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

It’s called Auditory Processing Delay, it’s pretty common in people with ADHD. I get it myself. It’s kind of like your attention is elsewhere and you “record” what somebody’s said and then replay it and process it once you’re done with your current train of thought.

I used to do French classes and we would go round the room and have to say what we did on the weekend (in French of course). I think everyone thought I was shit at French but in reality I just couldn’t remember what I’d done on the weekend.

Don’t shop hungry and make sure you only have healthy food in the house. Celery and hummus work for me.

This’ll be the second time they’ve taken territory from Ukraine and gotten away with it. They’ll probably take Belarus once that dictator dies, and they’ll eventually take Moldova since they already control part of it. They’ll keep trying to take all of Ukraine until it happens.

I never have dressing on my salad, I think a lot of people don’t. Salads are healthy, dressings are not.

Reaction videos I guess, but a lot of people are doing that.

Doesn’t this just work for everyone?

I assumed this was bullshit but she actually said it. Her account’s been suspended.

Didn’t this turn out to be fake?

I printed one of those octopuses with flexible tentacles and my daughter still plays with it like 6 months later. I think she broke the rest.

I’ve seen banks that offer investment accounts but they only invest in businesses which meet certain ethical standards. It was by the Co-Operative Bank in the UK, which is some community bank thing owned by the customers. Not sure how that works but they do lots of the ethical stuff.

I’ve also seen a charity where you could offer loans to small businesses in developing countries and if they ever became profitable they’d pay you back, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you never saw that again.

This is all the article says about giving it back: “They [FIFA] said: ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy’, and [FIFA President Gianni Infantino] said: ‘We’re never going to pick it up, you can have it forever in the Oval Office,’” Trump explained in a mid-game chat with the broadcaster, DAZN.

There’s nothing in the article to give the trophy back. The only thing in there is his quote saying that they asked him to put it in the Oval Office for a while and then when he asked when they want it back they told him to hang onto it.

Trump is anti-world.

The house I’m renting and the house I own are both around 1930, which is considered modern in the UK. The house I grew up in is about 1800.

The Iranian regime are a bunch of cunts but they’ll never surrender. They’ll throw their kids to the wolves before they surrender.
