And you think getting rid of those 'unsavory elements', replacing them with an authoritarian, warmongering Putin led puppet government would be an improvement for the world?
What utter drivel.
It would be laughably easy for the Russian command to disprove (and thoroughly discredit) the Ukrainian reporting if these reports are false.
But the Russians can't.
An increasingly rare thing these days.
More amusing if the artist burnt the money and used the ashes to create an artwork.

" K Foundation Burn A Million Quid....... compiles stills from the film, accounts of events and viewer reactions, and an image of the brick that was manufactured from the fire's ashes. A film consisting of a static three-minute shot of the brick, "This Brick", was shown at London's Barbican Centre prior to Drummond and Cauty's [The K Foundation] performance as 2K in the same year."
Wait, Tesla cars video their users? Seriously?
I'm gobsmacked users tolerate and agree to this.
You cannot mention this without also mentioning "K Foundation Burn a Million Quid".

And yes, they really did do it. (This was the same blokes who, at the top of the UK charts, as an artistic statement deleted their entire music back catalogue, meaning you could no longer buy their music. In 1992, that really did mean no more sales of their music and no more profit for them.)
Interestingly....
I recall a post on here where a bloke got very indignant about the innocent use of the term 'Chinaman'; something this Englishman (sharing an office with two Frenchmen, an Irishman and a Dane) found rather odd, especially considering the complainant was not Chinese themselves.
I think this was my introduction to the idea of the 'modern' internet user being far too easily offended (on somebody else's behalf to boot!), coupled with a modern desire to engage in culture wars and internet virtue signalling. This has certainly not lead to rational and healthy discourse.
:-)
Seconded.
I'm willing to bet only Private Eye readers (where to story broke and who continue to demand justice) are aware of this debacle and the shear scale of misery it has caused; all due to software being considered infallible.
Real investigative journalism, holding politicians to account, all whist taking the piss in classic British style.
If Private Eye hadn't investigated this, who would have?
No they won't.
'Dial up' modems need a PSTN line to work. The roll out of full fibre networks means analogue PSTN is going the way of the dodo. You cannot get a new PSTN line anymore in Blighty. In Estonia and the Netherlands (IIRC) the PSTN switch off is already complete.
You have just outed yourself as American!
"Ordinary" antennas are completely passive, just a bit of metal. It's the maths for data recovery and trilateration (not triangulation!) that is processor heavy.
Your very post (and Wikipedia link) undermines the argument you are tying to make.
No, but there is traffic and plenty of people who take objection to cats fouling their gardens and will happily leave out a saucer of antifreeze.
If you live in an urban area, the kindest thing to do is keep you cat indoors.
In Blighty, Argos.
No counterfeit stuff (which frankly, should be a given), same day delivery and a good network of bricks'n'mortar shops (with pick-up and drop-off) if you need it.
To be fair, I've never seen any other member of the animal kingdom drunkenly light their own farts.
I suggest such actions (a combination of drug use, mastery of fire, intellect (however limited) and social bonding) define our humanity.
To this British ear.....
Plenty cottages sell for multi-millions (including many in my village, unfortunately). Please take your semantics elsewhere.
....though, I was once at a conference where for a split second, a bloke flashed a slide showing a chimpanzees arse. We recon he had a similar bet going.
The RSPB know which side their bread is buttered. They are a charity who get their donations from "animal lovers", inducing cat 'owners'. They certainly won't say anything which might prejudice this source of income.
> It's odd to me that there's such a contrast between attitudes towards cats roaming in Europe
Plenty of people here in Blighty despise roaming cats leaving turds in their gardens and killing the local wildlife.
Seconded.
Our defence is the GDPR. It makes gathering personal data a liability, not an asset.
It's amusing how many HN'ers (based in the US) will rant against the GDPR in an effort to defend their own scummy surveillance capitalism business models.
Actually, I do care.
If you plan to use my personal information (advertisers take a bow) then you must, quite rightly, ask my explicit permission to do so. And I don't wish to give you that permission.
(Cookie banners aren't needed if you are not gathering personal information)
What age(s) is this? (We don't have 'grades' in Blighty)
Amusingly, your posting history suggests you are a pro-Russian troll.
