Farage claimed there was a security threat against him so he couldn't attend. The news asked the head of police at the count and he said this was the first he was hearing of it and everything was perfectly safe there.

A poll of the UK had Binface at 33%, Farage at 20%, and the rest either neither or other. For the same poll done in Clacton, it was 73% Farage, 20% Binface, and the rest neither or other.

The US has the importation issue on a smaller scale because the tax on cigarettes varies between cities and states. Crooks will drive box trucks full of cigarettes from Virginia (which has the second lowest tax on them) to New York City (which has the highest).

A form has to be filled out above a certain number of packs so they'll buy just below that amount at different locations to avoid having the purchases recorded by the state.

Newegg was bundling other parts with video cards to deter scalping. I got a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT 16GB and 750W power supply for $630 a few months back. It's now "on sale" by itself for $790. Months before that it was closer to $500!

The Seagate Exos 20 TB hard drives I paid $350-$400 each for over a year ago are now $793.

It's absolutely insane.

Sometimes the rich people want them. There's one Flock camera at the entrance of a nearby rich neighborhood aimed into it to catch cars entering or exiting. All the others in the county are next to county property or along roads with high traffic.

Plus lifetime disqualification from working in law enforcement. Many states do have registries of who is and is not qualified to work in law enforcement but they're each for their own state since the rules vary between states. A registry of those banned for misconduct needs to be federal and enforced so someone banned in one state can't be hired in another state or by the federal government.

These are Pushshift torrents from 2005 to 2025: https://sciop.net/datasets/reddit. There are two data sets, one by month and the other by subreddit. Each is about 3.5 TB compressed and based on the compression ratio I've seen, about 30 TB uncompressed. This is without any sort of media, just text.

Reddit sent AcademicTorrents a request to take them down so AI models couldn't use them as a way to avoid paying Reddit hundreds of millions of dollars for training data.
