Gamers nexus on LTT

I watched LTT for Top Gear of computer hardware videos. This commentary from GN made me wonder when was the last time they did one. I couldn't remember and unsubscribed.

I'd be interested in videos by Alex, Nicholas and maybe few others. Hope they go their own way some day. Alex videos are probably quite expensive to do so he's probably stuck there :/

Danish government will introduce new law to ban burning the Quran

How about banning public book burning in general? Not a lot of good memories related to that.

Want to keep burning books? Have waste collection services provide a pickup point. Then they can do it in some industrial incinerator so you'll have your book burned but without providing media with an easy outrage (unless you wanted outrage?).

Book burning seems to be a tool of right wing extremism, even when it's used against right wing extremists of some other kind, there's very little benefit to the society.

Also obligatory, fuck organized religion.

German Cabinet approves liberalization of cannabis possession

Reply in thread

Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn't even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).

US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
