Unless it’s a weekend, then they might hold it until monday (or even tuesday). I work in a petrol station in the UK and we have a sticker a bit like the one in the post on our pumps, but no-one ever seems to read it (or any of the health and safety signs, for that matter).

Fair enough, I was wondering why I couldn’t find that.

cats are known to cause devastation to all local wildlife

I’m pretty sure the RSPCB disproved this years ago, at least for birds, but I can’t find that study.

they also spread diseases in gardens

So can foxes, badgers, rats etc. Most cats are vaccinated annually against diseases and will go to the vet for checkups regularly, therefore the risk is much lower.

they live shorter unhealthier lives

Shorter? Sure, but not because of disease. Traffic is a much bigger problem, letting cats outside in cities or near busy roads is a far greater risk to their lifespan and I would never recommend someone to do that. Claiming they live unhealthier lives is wrong too. An outdoor cat can get so much more exercise than an indoor cat ever could, reducing obesity (as long as it’s not grifting for food with every other household nearby, which is rare).

It’s quite frankly inhumane to let cats free

It is much more humane in the UK (which is where I am and where the petition is) to let cats outside, and let them enjoy fresh air every day, discover new smells, socialise with other animals, and generally be so much happier, than trapping them inside from when they’re a kitten until they either die miserable, or escape and find an owner who will take care of them properly.

it’s wild that there’s a place that won’t hold their owners accountable for the property damage they inevitably cause.

Have you ever met a cat? It is extremely hard to control what they do, and the law recognises that. Theoretically, a judge could rule that cats are under the same category as dogs, but a cat would first have to do as much damage as a dog could do. Only one legal case got close. where the cat “got into Mrs. W. ‘s, fiat ate mincepies and fish, got on to a bed, and scratched the bedpost”. The judge sided with the cat owner.

Most places have updated their laws as new informations come out in the last 50 years

The UK has too, see the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Those laws aren’t even based on scientific studies I believe. It’s all “feel good”.

The RSPCA and other organisations like them conduct studies and campaign for the law to be updated accordingly. The UK is one of the top countries for animal welfare as per World Animal Protection, and is significantly better than the USA.

In the UK under the Animals Act 1971, cats are “free-spirits” meaning they “cannot be held guilty of trespass under civil law and, therefore, their owners or keepers cannot be liable for any damage done”.

I was in his corp (my old one merged with his, I had no idea who he was for quite a while), and this… isn’t exactly accurate. First, from what I remember, he left on okay terms with the corp.

There was a laundry list of issues with Pochven, a lot of them due to CCP just not bothering to fix issues that the players reported, and moving devs who did want to try and fix some of the issues to different areas of the game. It got to the point where it wasn’t economically viable to live in the area, which reduced how many ships we could field, and the number of people even willing to join.

CCP also took forever to decide on how wormholes interacted with the region, and changed those interactions frequently. Some of these were great, for instance there was a point where most of the wormholes linked to wormhole systems, and it was a complicated (and dangerous) dance to get people in and out of the region undetected. CCP ended up going with the worst possible interaction: many wormholes directly linked to nullsec space, where massive alliances could easily find them and send massive fleets through with little effort.

He wasn’t the only one to quit, to be honest I’m surprised he stayed for as long as he did given how he acts now.

Is Thor an egotistical narcissist? Absolutely. Was this a case of that? Not really

By the way, this is a statement he put out alongside the other two main groups in Pochven. I can tell you for a fact that 90+% of the players who spent most of their time in Pochven felt this move was absolutely justified*:

Edit* And the other ~10% disagreed with the destruction of the citadels, not the sentiment of the statement

I’ve got the opposite problem. At work, I sometimes have to cross the road near a busy mini roundabout, and the number of times I’ve almost been hit by a car is shockingly high. Cars will signal that they’re taking the first exit, only to suddenly accelerate straight ahead instead. It’s genuinely baffling.

You could, technically, put a system together with a Pentium D or Athlon 64* X2 (both are 2 months away from being 20 years old), and a Radeon 5450 or Geforce 420 (both are roughly 15 years old), and be able to play Eve within its minimum requirements.

It would be a horrible experience, even with potato mode, but could be done.

I managed to get 1950 hours playing eve online in a single year during covid, it was the best year of my life but fuck me did my grades suffer for it

Its a bit hard to get a conviction though

Pretty much every country is engaged in cyber warfare to some degree

I use latte dock, so until either it starts working in plasma 6 or i find a proper replacement i simply wont update my system lol

I tried it, but it didn’t let me use X11 so I switched back, and the downgrade wrecked my system so incredibly badly that I’m currently trying to restore from a backup.

I use this and it works quite well: https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive

Yee

So it should be pronounced “suh doo”?

I’ll have fun annoying people with this pronunciation, thanks!
