Johnson J found that while the article was defamatory, Mohammed Hegab failed to prove serious harm to his reputation and The Spectator successfully established a truth defence. The article complained of covered religious tensions in Leicester and Hegab was described as having whipped up a mob [9 [06:50] schestowitz[TR2] 1]. The judge noted that Hegabs own conduct and social media presence likely caused equal or greater reputational damage than the article complained of [97]. There was no credible evidence that this article had damaged his reputation, on the contrary, there was some evidence that the claimant positively revelled in any form of publicity " [06:55] Isambard_Prince The last 32-bit only x86 processor shipped 20 years ago.

[08:26] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], The horrible thing about Nazi Germany that really stands out was that almost nothing that Hitler did was legal, and all of the courts tasked with enforcing the law were still operating. [08:26] Isambard_Prince But who would sue him? [08:26] Isambard_Prince They would not live long enough for the case to make it before the judge. [08:27] Isambard_Prince So he got away with it.

[09:08] Isambard_Prince How they are deliberately designing cheap cars that die quickly. [09:08] Isambard_Prince Cheap for them, not you. [09:08] Isambard_Prince He said their mentality is a lot of people lease, and people who lease absolutely destroy the car because they know they're not keeping it. [09:08] Isambard_Prince So GM eventually said all you need to do is change the oil and just trust the oil life monitoring system. [09:09] Isambard_Prince I do not EVER trust the OLMS. [09:09] Isambard_Prince I change my oil and the OLMS says I still have like 60% or more of that oil change interval to go. [09:09] Isambard_Prince But it's horseshit. [09:10] Isambard_Prince You should never be doing these 6,000-10,000 mile oil changes for a number of reasons. [09:10] Isambard_Prince Oil gets dirty, filters get plugged and strain the oil pump, which is expensive. [09:10] Isambard_Prince Oil gets consumed and as it does the engine accumulates more wear, so you should at least top off, but the OLMS doesn't nudge you to top off, there's nothing monitoring the LEVEL. [09:11] Isambard_Prince It just assumes you don't leak or consume any and that's never true.

When, earlier this year I found the first articles calling for Richard Stallman's removal from the FSF, I was shocked.

[09:18] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], John didn't even ask why he was paying them $700 when his car texted him. [09:18] Isambard_Prince I looked it up and told him he was paying for basically an oil change, two paper filters, and a battery firmware update. [09:19] Isambard_Prince I told him I pull the Buick around to Walmart every 3,000 miles and pay $20 for an oil change. [09:19] Isambard_Prince Paper air filters are about $10 each. [09:19] Isambard_Prince No battery firmware. [09:19] Isambard_Prince Yeah I get really shitty gas mileage but he's just paying for something else. [09:21] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], So you see what millionaires are doing right. [09:21] Isambard_Prince They drive beater cars like mine. [09:22] Isambard_Prince Even if they get less reliable and need more downtime, you get murdered in today's new car market. [09:22] Isambard_Prince Interest rates, prices, shitty build quality, ongoing fees for routine stuff. [09:22] Isambard_Prince So your car has to be breaking down A LOT before it gets up there with a car lease or a loan at 7-8%. [09:23] Isambard_Prince And yeah, I mean you have millionaires who do car leases and loans, but it's because of cash flow issues mainly, and that worked well at low interest rates. [09:24] Isambard_Prince You know, they can invest their money and make 10-12% some years in the market, but the interest rate on a car loan was 1-3%. [09:24] Isambard_Prince So why would they allocate money that could make 12% maybe that year to a car that was only going to cost them nearly nothing to finance through the factory? [09:24] Isambard_Prince But it's not attractive at these rates. [09:25] Isambard_Prince And people like Mark don't need to do it anyway, so the depreciation becomes the main issue.
