    RC cars

    I can't remember if it was 1/8 or 1/10. I was a kid back then. But I raced on indoor tracks and offroad outdoor tracks. I used a Kyosho Lazer ZX. I think it was 4WD.

    Does anybody else donate to Wikipedia or am I an idiot?

    I don't donate to Wikipedia. But if I'm using a service or program that I use a lot then I will donate. If you believe Wikipedia is worthwhile and want to donate then go for it.

    Looking for outside opinion - Free Disabled bus travel with carer

    I was thinking this might be the case. Carers could use the blue badge without the disabled person at one point. But then the rules got changed because people were abusing it. I think a seperate carers card would be better, for discount travel.

    Looking for outside opinion - Free Disabled bus travel with carer

    I would keep the current system as we don't know if the carer is on an errand for the disabled person. Why should a carer be paying travel fees when they are doing a task for the disabled person. Ideally there should be a carers card that at the very least should entitled to have free or...

    School locked down after reports of stabbing

    Many people used to have pen knives back in the day yet nobody was stabbing the teacher in school. I've never been bullied by a teacher. But we did have teachers throwing the wooden chalk erasure at people. I'd be interested to know why people want to take revenge on teachers years after...

    There is likely to be no account of the crime. If the police still carried their notebook that would be a good backup. The camera holds the public and police to account, as well as record an account for any defense case.

    RC cars

    I used to race electric rc mainly at Oldham and Rochdale clubs. I used to end up finishing either winning B group or middle of the results in A group. I'm not sure if either club is around these days. This was over 20 years ago. I'm not sure what the Oldham club was called. The Rochdale one was...

    I can accept broken cameras, as there should be an admin log being created (if not then one needs to be added). So it is now absurd to expect the police to have standards? If you support the police you should be supporting the camera.

    The police were looking for a scrap, as seen by them already hyping up tension with the stupid post that they are expecting the far right. Are these the police or reporters giving us a running commentary!? In the video scenes there were no need for the police to be charging into the crowd...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Anyways looking forward, the final phase of the trials for BC 007 finishes in autumn. This will be the 3rd phase. It passed with good results in phase 1 and 2. So we're on target to eventually get some public treatments hopefully by the end of the year.

    I think any time body camera footage isn't available for a criminal case then it should be thrown out. There are too many cops purposely turning the camera off when they are upto no good. I'm not saying these cops did it. But there are plenty of times it's happened.

    I wonder if the police will make a statement about this. Nothing more damaging than police overreach to antagonise community relations.

    Police attempted to kettle the St George attendees and then blame the people for reacting. There as also been people trampled by the police horses. The public are watching.

    Happy St George's day!

    Happy St George's day everyone! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George%27s_Day When I think of today I think of the English people, not any government, royal family etc. But the English people battling through the cost of living crisis. Keep fighting on!

    They can already ban marches. Its been like that for decades.

    Nobody as the right to have a march. All marches have to ask the police for permission. The police can, and have in the past, banned marches. People don't need permission for a static protest. For security issues I think many of the marches should be banned on security and safety reasons due...

    I was just watching a video of a Palestine march in Bristol and the camera man got attacked by someone thinking he was someone from the far right. There was no police around during the Palestinian protest, and when the ambulance and then the camera guy called 999 the police didn't want to come...

    *** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

    I'm not a fan. Things have been needlessly moved around. It also seems unstable on download lists eg I was doing the Microsoft Store apps updates and sometimes the apps weren't listed. I had to reboot. For me at the moment in my experience it's battling WinME for the worst Windows. People...

    The attitude of the police when policing protests is different depending on if it conflicts with their ideology. If a black man was standing near an NF march and someone shouted something racist at him the police would have been violently arresting the NF'er. The last BNP/NF demonstration I...
