Depends on the laws in Belgium (I've no idea what they are)... in the UK for example trespass by itself is not a criminal matter, even if somebody refuses to leave your property... they need to be doing something else.

Would likely win in the UK as we have an unfair terms regulation, a small claims court could easily rule it an unfair as any reasonable consumer would assume they were purchasing the movie to watch whenever they want to.

The UK used to have that with its railway projects - the old government owned British Rail had massive and extensive knowledge on large rail infrastructure projects and no need for expensive external "consultants". That all got lost when the Tories tore it apart into private companies... hopefully now they are being renationalised as their contracts expire, at some point in the future they can regain all that expertise in-house again.

In the UK it's done by breathalyser and refusing is itself an offence.

How do you curate and keep on top of so many feeds? I have ~10 on my RSS reader and I sometimes have trouble keeping up if I have a couple of busy days

A decent tool could surely define multiple different views of the same information?

My wife and I have occasionally made our own butter for years now... one thing people always forget to mention is that it goes bad really quickly. The trick is either to cut it up into chunks and freeze most of it and the remainder you keep in the fridge/defrost later will last about 3 days. Or you can add salt after you've done the separation but this does of course mean you now have salted butter... this will last up to two weeks usually.

As a highly experienced consultant once said to me, forget all the objectives, priorities and corporate culture bullshit, whatever anyone tells you, your job is to make your boss look good.

You have a way out... you are allowed to live and work in Ireland. Stay there for a few years (I forget how many) and apply for an Irish ( = EU) passport

As far as I can tell you can't buy the ebooks for Dungeon Crawler Carl on Kobo, they seem to be exclusive to Kindle... unless anyone knows differently?

Otherwise I guess it'll be the seven seas for me which I really don't want to have to do

In the UK at least Fraud doesn't require any damages, just an intent to gain something of value on the criminals side.

I remember a friend who was really into his skiing telling me that ski instructors take bets on which overweight 50+ year old first time skiing city person would have the a heart attack first.

But how would you know until it's too late and you've already checked in? Doesn't seem to be a very effective way of achieving this... Just means my mate and I wouldn't go back to that hotel again.

Many years ago, all organisations - "Hey we can cut costs by getting rid of all of our expensive experts and not running our own data centres!"

Many years later - "Oh no! Not running our own data centres means our data is no longer fully in our control!"

Who would have thought it!

I use Orion for my daily mobile web browser and it works fine, the plugin support is generally very good in my experience and you can always post any bugs and they do get looked at. It's worth a shot anyway.

The most famous one in the UK was called FIST (Fantasy Ihteractive ?Stories? by Telephone or something) written by Steve Jackson (of Fighting Fantasy fame, not the American Steve Jackson)... premium rate telephone number got me into trouble more times than I can remember as a kid
