And you thought this couldn't get any worse.

It's either root or having access to my bank accounts. 🙄

At which point you will be taken to a dark room downstairs and 3 cops will testify they tried very hard to stop you from violently and repetitively throwing your head at their baton in a menacing manner which made them fear for their life.

France reporting, same price and that's because I'm using the more expensive provider that is the most reliable in my rural area.

Our politicians are completely useless though.

Well, I'm cheap so instead of spending 300 bucks on a Google router I bought three Xiaomi ax3000T for €35 a piece. They are listed as compatible with openwrt but for the last couple of month I've just been using them with the stock firmware and the WiFi mesh with backhaul works great.

It's otherwise very basic though, it lacks many features you'd expect like guest AP and so on..

They arrest a Briton every year for some dumb shit to remind everyone else to follow the law. At this point it has become a tradition, it's like their version of Guy Fawkes night but with a real person.

Usually the story is also a bit more complex than the "detained in Dubai" people tell you, sometime it is actually unfair, sometime they just hide half of the fact it to make it look unfair.

In any case in the UAE, you can go to jail or at least get fined for insult and slander. You can agree or disagree whether it's a good thing or a bad thing but everyone living there knows it.

You don't get arrested for bad reviews. People review stuff on gmap and other all the time. I've left my fair share of 1 star to crappy places so there must be more than "he was jailed for a bad review". It's most likely for insulting someone.

Of course I have no idea what the other side of the story actually is or what the review said.

I used shop and ship but there wasn't much choice in the UAE. It belonged to Aramex at the time which was a respected UPS like in the region. It was a while back. I can't speak for what they are worth now and how they work in places where Aramex isn't as well implanted.

Depending on your country you can use a remailer. I used to use one when I lived in the middle east and couldn't order from the US. I has a bunch of addresses worldwide you can use to order and they aggregate and forward the packages.

The only problem I had with my ZigBee network was pairing the lightbulb but that was because the UX to set the bulb in pairing mode required to switch them on and off 5 1/2 time with a too precise timing for a normal human.

Mostly an issue with the bulb really.

For some reason most girls got angry at me when I did.

So you admit that they sometime do ? Kinda kills your whole point. 🤷

Did you write a guidebook of acceptable words and concepts in fantasy ? I ask because if you're so bothered by the introduction of new words into fantasy literature I'm assuming you don't read anything with any words invented after the release of the Epic of Gilgamesh sometime in 1155 BC.

It's a violently stupid argument.
