I haven’t set foot on ‘dry land’ since Napster started.

Only yesterday I listened to the whole ‘Contractual Obligations’ album for the first time in probably 20 years.

Except in Germany. Anything put outside for refuse collection is considered property of the town or city.

Taking something from the pile is punished as theft, and if caught, you will be fined.

After a quick butchers at the list, I think they are going after streaming sites rather than torrent sites per se.

LocalSend is the dogs bollocks!

Thank you.

But it’s only trucks that have to slow down, and my truck - like most modern trucks - has an ‘L’ classification for Austria, which stands for ‘Lärmarm’ which translates to ‘Quiet’.

120mph? What? The fuck?

Humans aren’t designed to react to things at that speed.

Germany has entered the chat

Noise concerns is a joke. I drive a truck in Germany. In many villages and some areas of towns/cities, trucks are to drive at 30 kph instead of 50 kph at night to reduce noise levels. The joke is, when I drive at 30, the truck is in a lower gear than at 50, making more noise, passing more slowly (noise duration longer) and putting out a higher volume of CO2 for the duration.

Cars with fart cans and motorbikes with their loud exhausts are way louder than my truck could ever be driving those roads - at any speed.
