    UK IP addresses banned by US social media company

    If you were using a "web based" proxy solution that does not surprise me. As long as the ASN is not registered to another country and shows US, it should work on any personally created VPN fine. It's easy enough to detect and block/control the paid VPN offerings as most of their IP...

    UK IP addresses banned by US social media company

    Why waste that much money on AWS? Find a cheap $5 a month VPS in a country that is supported and install OpenVPN on it. In fact, several of the VPS providers I have used have an already configured VPN image that you can install.

    Should the death sentence be handed out for murder?

    If the evidence is without doubt (say body cam or video of the action taking place) then I have no issues with the death penalty. Where I have issues is with heavy use of so-called "scientific evidence". We have a case of that going on right now here in Texas...

    The Climate Change Thread

    What some do not realize is that global warming can result in ice buildup (especially in the Antarctic) because the ice melts and then freezes at lower temps than the salt water does since it is purer water. It is an interesting phenomena.

    The Trump thread

    This fact has been WELL documented time and time again. He DOES lie more often. In fact, in his first term it was documented that he made over 30,000 false or misleading statements. And he's well on his way to exceeding that currently. I should note... in several of his spiels he would repeat...

    UK IP addresses banned by US social media company

    The UK (and other similar countries) and their asinine laws can lick my salty balls after a hard day of heavy yard work. And yes, that also applies to a few US states. I don't live there, I have no desire to visit there (I would rather drop in Ireland or Scotland) and I am NOT under their laws...

    The Trump thread

    That Trump is a consummate liar that has a particular aversion to telling the truth? As @Retro commented.. it has been shown time and time and time and time (ad nauseam) that Trump and facts based upon evidence have an aversion to each other.

    The Trump thread

    Oh lord...... Trump and his idiot sycophants claims that they have deals in the making and that "everyone is kissing his ass"... and the ONLY deal that he can announce is a possible one with the UK... which honestly is down the ladder in who we trade with. Currently we sell MORE to Canada (who...

    The Climate Change Thread

    Banks are businesses... and businesses are there to make money and not be environmental stewards. That is the position of the governments. And if the governments do not restrict the construction then businesses are going to do what businesses do - go to where they can make that money. ;)

    Enough that I could have purchased 3 instead of the only 2 I can now for around the same price. So yes, a drastic price increase, well over 1/2 the original cost.

    The Trump thread

    And this is why Trump and his sycophants were so upset about the tariff increases being listed on Amazon. It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that something you put in your cart less than a week ago jumping this much is due to outside influences. I honestly wish I had gone ahead...

    The Anti-Car Thread

    Get caught with those in Texas and you can get yourself a quick ticket. And they are very easy to detect when driving down the road by any officer looking at your plate.

    Installing Windows 11 on Unsupported Hardware

    The problem is not always with Windows itself.... but programs installed then removed that are not cleanly removed. Even now you can go through and find programs that do not completely remove themselves.

    The Trump thread

    I already knew that he had.... my comment was on the original decision not to. That, to me, was the correct one. The only reason he changed his mind was it's a red state and with his current BS going on it would have been just one more nail in the GOP coffin.
