Works for me with a VPN to Australia, so yeah, probably just ISPs being shit. Nothing new, I guess.

Yeah, I've tried from a lot of different VPN locations. Wasn't able to find any DW is blocked in.

Do they? To my knowledge, providing news for the world is pretty much their declared purpose.

Every time I read about the Japanese justice system, it just seems like abject horror.

The way they did representation was one of the few things I really liked about Discovery. And that they gave us that Pike, and a Spock that turned out a lot better than I thought. Still, felt like every season got worse, plot wise.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.

Maybe they're trying to learn Czech?

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.

My ISP's a dick, but to my knowledge, unlimited has to mean unlimited around here. There where months where we had Problems with our fibre, so I did everything over a hotspot from my phone. Used 100's of GB's no one ever complained.

Get proper consumer protection laws, people.
