If it's already in the Console when it gets blacklisted, you can appeal it without having to 'verify' ownership of the domain that, in this case, you no longer control the DNS of, because you completed that process when adding it to Console.

Fun!

Not sure if it's a bug, but for the date+time permalink at the bottom, the displayed link changes but the underlying href is locked to 7 months ago

I can't speak for Ireland, but in the UK it is quite common to refer to a Bill (before it has passed) or an Act (when it is passed) with a capital letter, rightly or wrongly, because its name would be capitalised (in this case The Protection of Voice and Image Bill, with Bill replaced by Act once it has become law).

It is also a capitalised term within the text of the law itself.

I love this. However, I'm very interested to see the maths on "offering up to 1000% savings compared to industry standards"

We were playing CoD zombies with my father in law the other day, and he was really struggling with the overall concept of the two joysticks for moving and looking. I realised he was consistently expecting the joystick to go the opposite way (up/down) compared to what it was actually doing. I said you have to push up to look up.

I remembered he flies Airbuses for a living, and they use a joystick, where pulling back/down is looking up. I inverted the controls and he immediately found it a lot easier to use.

We had a proper IMAX in my home town which was knocked down partly due to locals complaining its beach-front location was making it an eyesore. I try to see any new 15/70 IMAX films (essentially, anything by Christopher Nolan) at the London BFI, one of only three screens left in the UK.

All major CC companies have the extra layer (3-D Secure) available to merchants. Whenever I make a card transaction online that is in any way unusual the bank makes me do an app/SMS 2-factor.

As with any extra step in a purchase its a balance between security and conversion rates. It seems companies have decided it reduces conversion too much in the US hence the low uptake, whereas UK/EU seem to use it very often.

Some EU countries also have the same policy for their ccTLDs, although I believe the EU rules are that they aren't allowed to restrict to just their own country's citizens/residents like others worldwide do, they can only restrict non-EU registration.

Caused me some grief post-Brexit when my firstname.tld domain happened to be some French islands and AFNIC started indicating they'd enforce it. Fortunately I have the .uk now.

LiveATC often mixes multiple feeds for one airport (out of tower, ground, approach etc) into a stereo stream with one feed in each channel so you can listen to more than one frequency at once
