Now so long as the ruling isn't appealed and repealed by the government (which they intend to do)

I tried to ignore it but the jurist in me won't allow it. Rulings are never repealed (and especially not by the government, but by the Courts). They're overturned, reversed, vacated or set aside, but not repealed. Laws, acts and decrees are repealed, but not rulings.

When exactly is a penis feminine?

human rights,

but you support an organization that treads upon personal autonomy and lives to violate the NAP.

It also does more for human rights than most organisations in the world.

Still, I can support such a party violating the NAP still and know more about human rights than anyone else. Not mutually exclusive.

Duh-sid-ew-us is how I'd say it, without looking it up.

I mean, English (and pretty much every other language) has instances of spelling with different possible pronunciations. Lead can be led or leed, depending on the meaning, for example. But this word, while uncommon and not that easy (I never heard of it before), seems to me like it only has one reasonable pronunciation.

Unless I'm wrong here and got my pronunciation completely wrong, in which case you are free to make fun of me now.

you were almost right, but the second "d" is actually a palato-alveolar affricate (like "j," or a soft "g"), like this

the denti-alveolar (hard "d") is how i'd expect most non-english speakers to work it out, so i can't really fault you

Sure, but that's exactly what I thought and said to myself. Just didn't know how you're supposed to spell out a soft D in letters, lol. And the alveolar and such you're using take me way back to high school when this was taught in class for Dutch. Forgotten all about it though.

How do you people not know how to pronounce your own language? I can tell exactly how to say it from just looking at it.

it's easy to surmise how it's pronounced, yeah, but it would sure be funny if you had it wrong despite your bravado

I would vote for Clinton if I could. Best policies, best qualifications.

Are you kidding? Maybe you may think she has the best compared to others running. But that's not saying much.

Ehm, yeah. Of course I don't think she has the best policies and qualifications of everyone in the world. But out of this sorry bunch? Absolutely.

I mean, surely you have read these before.

Yes, and I have nothing but contempt for Boris Johnson.

Glad you agree with me on this. I really did not make this thread to start another Brexit discussion. I just thought that it was a good representation of how the EU is very often represented in an inaccurate and highly misleading fashion, which I think is quite a shame. I'm not blind to its shortcomings and flaws, but through my years of EU law and now my international working experience too, I've learned to appreciate its achievements too. I think it's a bit of a shame that the Union, as imperfect as it may be, is presented in such an inaccurate and detrimental way. It pains me a little to see how blatant lies and misinformation are used to mislead and manipulate many people who benefit from the EU but lack the knowledge or education to see it. It really is an incredible shame, I think.

YouTube

I think this is relevant to the topic.

No, it isn't. Not even close actually. This is about untruthful and dishonest news reporting. It's about deliberately spreading inaccurrate information in the media to push an agenda and with the full knowledge that your average reader is incapable of telling apart lies from the truth. Regardless of whether you're the biggest europhile imaginable or hate the EU with a burning passion, any reasonable and intelligent person should look for accuracy of information and truthfulness or objectivity from the media outlets spreading it, and condemn those who post misleading and incorrect information.

This page really doesn't offer anything interesting with regards to the motivations for Brexit.

Nor is it intended to. It picks out a select few sensationalist headlines and gives the actual story and truth behind them. I didn't make this thread to discover the motivations behind Brexit, as they're pretty well known (even though the Britons I work with are still stunned they prevailed). The sole purpose was to show how there has been a legitimate smear campaign going on against the EU for several decades. This also is nothing new, as the way Boris Johnson dealt with this and British newspapers caught on is well known at this point, but it just comes to show how abysmal and biased the coverage of the EU has been in much of the British media. I don't think anyone can reasonably deny that deliberately ignoring all good news and misrepresenting everything else to the point that it's journalistic dishonesty and simply lying for decades does influence the opinion of the generally poorly educated and ignorant public, which then played a considerable part in the anti-European feelings amongst many.

It's like that article I discussed recently. The Council of Europe had a research committee look into the effects media covering terrorists, finding that British media focuses a lot on certain aspects of terrorism (in addition to having an opinion on dozens of other countries). In certain news outlets in the UK, this was headlined as "Europe to ban British media from naming terrorists' religion". Not only was this completely false (it was just research into media coverage, no project or legislation), but it deliberately kept using "Europe" to trick readers into thinking it was about the EU (without ever mentioning anything about the CoE) and even used a picture of the European union flag in the background. Absolutely despicable, and you and I both know that no average voter or reader will have the smarts or knowledge to realise how false that is. I don't at all believe it's the EU overregulating certain things that lead to Brexit, but I do think it's very hard to deny that the amount of populism and much of the British media consistently portraying the EU in a terrible light for several decades played a considerable part in fostering anti-European sentiments and broadening the perceived gap in values / culture.

Some very good points there, thanks.

I will go for an ethernet cable and run it through the house. I'd be installing my PC at the top floor and can already detect a noticeable drop up there in signal strength on wireless. I'd need a bridge to boost the signal in addition to the wireless card, which would cost me a lot more than a simple 20m ethernet cable at around 12-15€.

I'll also add in a case fan. Someone told me to get a $20 Noctua one, but there's highly rated ones out there for half that price. Got any suggestions of your own?

What kind of Mid case would you suggest? The main reason I wanted a full one was to accommodate the big Noctua fan. From the looks of it, the Corsair 200R ATX Mid seems to be one of the highest rated oned at PCpartpicker. Good reviews and considerably cheaper than the other one.

What is your opinion on different kinds of RAM. You said that all of the GTX 1080's are pretty much the same regardless of their brand, but what about the RAM? Your suggested build contains different RAM and so does the one suggested to me by a guy on Reddit (saying I should get these ones. The price difference comes down to around 20€ so it's not that much either way, but the lack of reviews and famous brand name does worry me slightly. Will I be fine getting a GeIL model one (which are pretty much the cheapest ones in my area)? Also, is there much of a difference between their writing speeds? Will I be much worse off with a 2400mhz one than with a 3000? Not that it really matters, as the 3000 GeIL ones appear to be the cheapest regardless.

Today I learned that the European Commission has part of its website dedicated to debunking myths about the EU published in (primarily British) newspapers over the past 20 years.

It being alphabetically organized and beautifully categorized by theme (such as, for example, "Milk, Yogurt - 2003") made me both happy to imagine someone actually working on this and sad to again realize the extent of the British smear campaign against the EU.

Brexit: brought to you by mountains of false information, populism and simple ignorance.

That actually gave me a lot of food for thought. I'm not really interested in going for a micro setup, but cutting out the i7 for an I5, changing down to a 750 series of SSD instead of an 850 and opting for a slightly cheaper fan freed up about €160, making it so that for just €40 more I could fit a GTX 1080 in my original plan.

How do you guys feel about this?

My main questions / concerns here would be:

- should I get an additional case fan?
- is the GTX 1080 model that I listed (the MSI Armor 8G) good? I've noticed that others (especially where I live) seem to be a lot more expensive and this one is by MSI and got pretty good reviews from what I can tell.

Thanks.
