I think Remain spent too long trying to counter Leaver lies. Leave just sprayed them out, not caring. Remain should have been making the case for the EU. (Though industrial scale lying is a news regulation issue. It not balance to give both sides equal time when one side is bullshiting.)

No. He needs to be trialed for treason, then jailed when found guilty.

It should surprise me, but not anymore. It must be economies of scale making lithium batteries the cheapest thing to do now.

Yer, I totally trust the Telegraph on what Starmer says on the lines in a class war. Completely trustable source on the subject. Not at all trying to put that line with as many people on its side not Starmers…

Good. The batteries alone being disposable is insane. https://stoke.nub.news/news/local-news/staffordshire-university-graduate-uses-disposable-vape-batteries-to-power-electric-scooter-197624

I hope it continues to be a non issue for you. Without you having to take any measures. Just saying it can be an issue. Search “zigbee 2.4ghz wifi interference” if you don’t believe me.

You have any 2.4 GHz WiFi problems? In theory there is a problem, and I know a dude with a lot of ZigBee and a lot of 2.4GHz problems, but without going over with work equipment and spending some time doing work for free, I can’t be sure it’s ZigBee. It’s just my best guess.

You already married to ZigBee? If not, maybe don’t. It causes 2.4Ghz interference. You’ll need to think about WiFi channels and avoid ones that overlap with ZigBee. Either that, or use 5Ghz WiFi and repeaters to make up for the lower penertration (if an issue).

Academic. The EU has already done it and so we in the UK already have it. Our market just isn’t big enough, relative to it’s locality, to do something different. Whatever the EU does just washes over us. Only now we have no say in the what that is or how it is implemented.

So less Reform/Conservative voters in the UK. Win!

It’s just an excuse to not do his job. Too much like work.

Those people just happened to include a load Russia soldiers who happened to on holiday there.

Viktor Yanukovych being kicked out was by actural Ukrainians.

I don’t see them the same.

Anyway, I’m done here. I keep ending up in these long threads with tankies / trolls from lemmy.world, life is too short.

Ukrainians can remove their leaders. Russia doesn’t get to do that and they failed so far this time round. Though they have managed to seize yet more land.

Viktor Yanukovych may well have been elected fairly at the time. But he up set his people and then thought it was ok to authorize live ammo on his own people.

He may not have started as a Russian puppet, but he certainly looked like one at the end.

From vague memory and skimming Wikipedia: The president wasn’t acting for the good of the country, but for the good of his puppet master. The number of protestors against the government significantly outweighed the pro-government protestors. The government lost any moral authority when they authorized live ammo against the protestors.

You have to squint very hard to see Putin’s Russia as the good guys. They use dangerous poisoning, on foreign soil, against critics who leave Russia. Those who stay keep falling out of windows. They corrupt foreign democracies using troll farms and funding destabilizing elements. Internal democracy is a sham, Putin is Czar for life. Successful opposition politics are arrested and sent to crazy harsh prisons, where they get beaten to death if trouble continues. The list just goes on and on and that’s just from memory and doesn’t even include Ukraine.

Screw the Russian government. I hope the Russian people are free it one day soon.

Oh I skimmed it. Russia invaded following Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, which was a anti-government uprising because the Russian puppet president won’t sign a free trade deal with the EU. Russia claimed it was going in to protect Russian speaking pro-separatists. Only there was a lot of plain clothed Russian military on holiday there and the referendum was not free and fair by and standard above Russian… etc etc.

Russia should have left Ukraine alone then and the west shouldn’t have looked the other way when it didn’t.

Hands up, no my area. I’m not a Ukrainian. I known a few. They tell me Russia attacked their country. As does ever news outlet that I trust. So yer, sorry random person on the internet, I’m going with their narrative over yours.

I’m sure if Russia wins, it will bring its conquered lands to highs of democracy the rest of Russia enjoys… and the citizens will absolutely notice the difference.

I’m sure those living in the seized parts of Ukraine are living in more of democracy now… /s

Generally I found it’s best to not argue with the “wisdom of the crowds” unless you really know the domain, and even then, with care.

Sorry it doesn’t say what you want.
