Pugwash

I'll be wearing this one on Saturday:

There wasn't even a fight this time, I'm afraid.

As did Silix and Narikaa. Anyone that knows me should know by now that I'm very much my own man.

Update, it's no longer a ban. I've been deleted. Can someone have a look and see if my posts still exist?

I've been on his [censored] list for a long time. He also thinks I'm a TTK shill and that I made the whole lies thing up to help TTK get sales.

Honestly? I have absolutely no idea. He started editing all my posts with a quote I made in one of his threads, "Putain, de quoi en parle," which was a reply I made when everyone started talking in German. Then he wanted me to apologise for saying it. Next thing I know, I'm banned. ps. The translation is roughly "What the [censored] are we talking about?"

...and I've just been banned.

Warning to anyone that's on RWI: Klink is editing people's posts.

I know, but there was a chance, right? If the correct position hadn't been exactly three degrees off, you'd have been caught mid-click.

Trust me, I've got it. Devedender knows I've got it. The rules changing was my hinting to Deve that I got the concept.

That's because Rolex bracelets don't have the same feel as Omegas. As with the rep, so with the gen. Rolex bracelets feel cheap and light, but are much more comfortable because of it.

Brilliant! Did you not risk making the bezel slightly off-axis?

Yup. Yeah, that means my method is right. You know I know.

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter. It's an XOR parity problem. The only guy that could get it wrong is the first.

I'm really that fast. Ok, this puzzle can be done with only one switch, I believe. Want to know how?

Are you getting these from a logic gate manual?

ps. I've solved this. Devedander can confirm this. It's a pure logic problem. I'll go look at the other.

First names apart from Euclid. By the way, my Dic is so big I need a shelf to keep it off the floor.

Yes, it is, I'm afraid. However, hopefully it'll be full of useful legal things that'll only need to rear their ugly heads when searched for.

The MBW group buy makes it a harder decision, too.

I keep reading posts in which people state what they believe the law in their country is as if it's fact and it can be quite confusing. It inspired me to start this thread and encourage people who actually know what the law is to post their knowledge so we can stop guessing and bickering over assumptions. Hopefully the title will make it easily found by searches. I'll start. Here in France, along with Italy, possession of a replica is illegal. There are trained customs agents who can recognise certain counterfeit goods at a distance. We have no right to retain goods that are known to be counterfeit, and the burden of proof is exactly the same as with stolen goods whereby it is up to us to prove our goods are neither stolen nor counterfeit. So, if you decide to state that owning a replica is not illegal, please do so with the caveat that it is only not illegal in your country. If you get caught with a replica in Italy, for instance, you can be fined heavily. They're not afraid of making very visible examples of people to drive this point home. I'm moving to the UK in a month. Does anyone know the actual UK law on owning counterfeits? So, where's Bill to tell our US friends where they actually stand as opposed to where they think they stand?

Importing them into the US is also illegal. It's called smuggling. So, ordering from China would count as smuggling, with regard to trying to get counterfeit goods through customs and with regard to trying to avoid the tax.

Who's piloting this boat?

Oops, wrong thread. This isn't the group buy thread ...
