While I like to kick a bit on Blizzard, I am also pleased to see when they have done great. WoW Forever launch has been very smooth for me, bit crowded at times, but so far nostalgia, great players and sheer fun gameplay.
Well done, @Blizzard_Ent

...and so it begins...
Ahh .. I’ve been waiting for this. Now …
Most people have absolutely NO IDEA that the UN is behind this and is determining how cars are built and regulated.
UNECE WP.29 - the UN’s World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations. To create common international rules governing vehicles, the EU and Britain are adopting them.
▪️ UN Regulation 155 - Cybersecurity systems governing connected vehicles.
▪️ UN Regulation 156 - Software update systems
▪️ UN Regulation 160 - Event data recorders
The EU incorporated UN vehicle standards into its legislation. Britain has done the same, even after Brexit.
And now the government has explicitly stated that it is committed to maintaining alignment with the EU vehicle approval system, including adopting further UN standards. Including tracking.
You think this is all about tax. It isn’t, it’s all about UN control. And it doesn’t matter how stupid MPs … because they’re not really writing the rules.

So it is now November 5 and @Blizzard_Ent have failed to launch the WoW Forever launch of November 4.
So far, same old nonsense.

This perfectly describes the cyberattack this morning on Swedish supermarkets getting their freezers compromised.

I know the "normies" love everything "smart" these days, but why the fuck are refrigerators and freezers online and internet connected? I've worked with supermarkets and these are constantly managed by staff in store that can easily handled temperatures and checks!
BREAKING: 🇸🇪 Swedish grocery giant ICA, one of Sweden's largest supermarket chains, says several of its stores have been hit by a cyberattack overnight, causing refrigerators and freezers to be remotely set to 50°C.
The incident has likely resulted in large quantities of food spoiling. Multiple stores, including ICA Kvantum in Sjöbo and Tomelilla, have reported being affected.
ICA says stores will remain closed during the morning and are expected to reopen at 9:00 a.m. Swedish time.
The company has apologized to customers and says it is working to restore normal operations.
The incident comes amid a wave of cyberattacks targeting businesses recent weeks, following similar incidents reported in France and the United States.

Very sneaky of @Blizzard_Ent to say that they launch WoW Forever on November 4 in Europe, with servers "opening" at 19:00 hours and they begin immediately with a 5 hour "maintenance" window, meaning no one in CET will begin play until at least November 5!

No tax introduced is ever paid by the companies, always by the customers.
...and a tax like this is the end of the free Internet and swiftly there after any and all Internet innovation, games, product or services as it is now cheaper everywhere but France!

Dodgy as all hell, elected Swedish politician from Somalia, got elected to parliament - All the way to the top. Questions asked about very dodgy background, not race.
Now Swedish gov. funded MSM published article in foerign nation have "emergency prayers" for this individual!

I dare wager that @Blizzard_Ent will have this fixed magically in time for the US access times which are some 6 hours behind. Not sure why the US gamers want to play on EU Servers though, even if lag and other tech issues are minimal.
Umpressed with @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent 22+ years MMO experience still fail launch day servers.
They also have not figured out customer service and post updates about their products.
Except for when it comes to take your money, that shit they have down to perfection!

One has to wonder how many times this basic copy paste "excuse" have been used to avoid factual criticism and other blatant fuck ups!?
The referenced post in question is the absolute opposite of what even could be considered good advertisement for firearms forces or services!
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has responded to the unacceptable online abuse directed at a Met officer who received an award at yesterday's annual Police Federation Conference.
PC Fiona Shaik Umar was recognised for the outstanding contribution she has made for women in policing.
ALT I\u2019d like to congratulate Fiona on this well-deserved award for which she should rightly be very proud. She works in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, a frontline unit playing a vital role in the mission to protect our democracy by keeping Parliament and Parliamentarians safe.\u00A0 \u000B\u000BWe are currently advertising for additional talented, brave Londoners from all communities to join us. Every career path is open to you regardless of whether you happen to wear a kippa, turban or hijab like Fiona. She is being celebrated for being an excellent officer demonstrating this reality. \u000B\u000BBut it angers me that not for the first time, a day that should have been a celebration for Fiona was marred by hateful, intolerant abuse online. \u000B\u000BThese people haven\u2019t met Fiona. They know nothing of her important work. They just saw that she is a female Muslim officer who wears a hijab and decided she wasn\u2019t deserving as a result.\u00A0 \n
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The vast majority of criticism was not because she is Muslim, but because she was not following very basic gun safety rules.
Her finger was on the trigger and she pointed the barrel of the gun at a fellow officer.

There are no hostile troops gathering at our borders.
There are no "accidental" explosions happening.
There is zero "propaganda" ie hostile leaders talking about "hitting us"
Which means when your government gives advice as below, they plan on doing something bad first!
🚨🌍🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK
“We’re saying to People - Be Ready”
“Have 3 Litres of Water per Person per Day - it’s not just about the Weather - There are State backed Actors & Terrorists who wished to do our country harm”
Incredible - UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting provides a list of items & reasons as to why Britain should be prepared.
You all know it’s already planned & The Government are employed by the people planning it - it’s important you understand this.

Explain to me as I am five years old, why the force deemed necessary is to send six police officers for words posted on the Internet.
In my mind even two officers are still two too many!
Hey, @JohnCleese, three police cars and six cops turned up to arrest us at home for social media crimes. After two months all charges were dropped….Such is life in modern Britain😎

People out there correctly pointing out the poor trigger discipline, but I've not seen anyone noticing the fact that she points the rifle directly at his upper thigh!
Dear @metpoliceuk,
If you’re going to launch a scheme to increase female representation in armed policing roles, then may I suggest you actually teach them trigger discipline.
Never ever put your finger on the trigger, or inside the trigger guard, unless you’re ready to fire. Regardless, of whether the weapon is empty or not.

That is some craptastic CGI that I can notice even on a small mobile phone screen. Why are the pub windows blowing outwards when she is hitting the car that is OUTSIDE the pub?
Jadis is using magic in the real world now...
Narnia is going to make A LOT of changes to C.S. Lewis' work. Why even adapt it?
Why not make something new?

Maybe, but very unlikely there could still be a chance to #Savestargate
Even X has the hashtag shadowbanned, Stargate is now likely dead and Amazon will commence pissing on its grave and telling the original fans they are not wanted in the fanbase.

Why in the hell would your AI require my credit card just to browse the Internet for the cheapest offer on an item I am looking for?
To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
xAI explicitly warns users not to include personal information in prompts, yet credit card photos may contain such information.
Grok Bot's terms state that user data and credentials may be stored in its cloud environment and require human review for financial transactions.
