CommentStop dealing with China. (Score 4, Informative)17

Just stop. They are using our money to a) build up their army and b) turning us (us=the whole world) into hostages, as we throw money to the Chinese state and at the same time lose the means to produce what we need for ourselves. (also, this is not some stupid anti-communist rant, I used to be a member of my local communist party when I was young and idealistic, and if you think the workers rule China you need to take that other pill.)

E-scooters are legal and should be outlawed.

They are EVERYWHERE. People are driving them on the pavements, driving into pedestrians, and then just throw them in a bush or on the street when done (despite the designated parking/pickup areas).

Apparently you have to be 18 years to use one, and apparently whatever app they use to check that doesn't work as I see kids aged 11-12 driving around with them every single day.

Yeah... I worked for D-Link support about 15 years ago. Stopped being surprised after they released an ADSL routermodem that accepted telnet connections from WAN with default login (root/root or something like that). Oh, it also used busybox and D-Link refused to acknowledge it, much less provide the source.

That doesn't work on the C64 (AFAIK), instead you have to borrow money, go to the backalley casino and win, pay back the money you borrowed from Wu and then buy ships with the 300000 or so money you have left.

Of course, none of these methods would work in the real world. To start a sucessful business, you have to borrow money, sign up to an online casino, win millions, pay back the money and then....? do some stuff and profit or be happy with the profit you made gambling. Also shanghai somebody in the street just because.
