Manure or rock, sure. I get that.

Plywood or sheet rock, standard sizes of sheet rock here in the UK for in a panel van and I have no worries about them getting wet out damaged en route.

Given the length limit of a truck bed, I can get much bigger things in a van then I could a truck.

Given your opinions are on the reasonable side of truck owners

What advantage does a truck have over a panel van for work use?

Yes I'm European. Yes I actually want a truck for some unknown social reason. But every time I look at trucks I think the beds are either too small or I think my shit is going to get wet back there. An enclosed panel van has a bigger converted storage area.

Excuse me sir, we appear to have a different definition of "winning".

He's making a lot of noise about Zelensky not going to the polls. So ...

War, he's talking about taking America to war so strongly they can't have an election.

I know trump doesn't know world history.

But helping Russia and asking Lithuania for help are mutually exclusive options.

I'm not saying we should...

But negative tariffs on eggs coming out of the USA and ridiculous tariffs on eggs going into the USA would tickle my funny bone

Well done sir. Well done.

If we ever meet in a pub I owe you a pint

You've started on a completely false assumption.

TBH some of the best art, music and creativity in games comes from small indie studios and developers. Who put creativity and skill into their project. They make it good by actually making it all. Games with a unique style and fun ideas come from small indie studios who need supporting.

AI is a shortcut to stealing others work by proxy. It creates content that is non-novel by its very design and by the very limitations of the tool.

artists, programmers and musicians that can lovingly hand craft the loot boxes

What are you on about? It's the companies churning out loot box after loot box that are programmatically producing them. You're actively invalidating your own point in your rant.

At this point, reading your comment again. I'm really hoping I just missed some dry sarcasm.

I’m experienced in the field of cyber security

So... go lookup the CVEs. Go have a look at what the actual threats against the old device are. What's the method of attack and do you care.

If you decide you're happy with the device. Then remember to keep going back and seeing if any new attacks against the device exist.

Whatever happens, we're not protected against 0day attacks (by their very nature).

I guess there is some reason to worry about "unknown" attacks against the device. But like 0day's, there's probably unknown attacks against patched devices as well.

Remove the romance element from it.

If the bottle spins, someone has to spend time in your company doing something you enjoy. You and your friends all agree. The bottle lands on you, and suddenly whatever it was you enjoy is not just "unenjoyable" but is actively repulsive to the other people. Ironically, I'd expect people to be repulsed by having to do half my hobbies, so this isn't a perfect reframing.

Apologies if I'm not being sensitive to your thought patterns. But there must be a way of reframing this that you can see why someone would be upset that their "friends" find them actively repulsive to even be around.

AI's current writing style on topics like this, is to repeat the same thing in subtly different ways. If you find yourself reading the same paragraph 3 times in a row, then it's probably AI.

Im being a huge guy - can go to the women bathroom

OK

People will exploit this.

Do you? Who is currently stopping you?

Why would someone who wants to batter, rape or abuse another person be stopped by an unlocked door with a little cartoon sign on it?
