'giving away government property'

I am mystified by this snippet from the summary. What is the property referred to, and on what grounds does the government claim to 'own' it?

'I love Oreos, but I stopped eating them when I realized that the delicious white filling was whipped lard and sugar. It says so right on the labels'

This comment takes the biscuit!

'Nobody thought the Brexit campaign could possibly win'

- except for the clear majority who thought that it could (and would) win.

An overrated comment, in my opinion.

Personally, I'd much rather see an international body in charge than a country that's become a byword for throwing its weight about, extending its legal tentacles into all corners of the globe, bullying and coercing other countries, and going to war for specious reasons.

I'm so cheesed off with HP (and other makes that want to lock you in to buying genuine replacement cartridges) that I'm switching to an Epson L655 'ink tank' printer. The purchase cost is high, but the economy (and convenience) of ink tanks more than offset this for me.

'jobs to be impacted'

Slashdot's use of English gets worse by the day. Are there no proofreaders available?

Wild rats are pests and a blight on much of the developing world. They breed rapidly, consume huge amounts of farm produce, and spread disease. Perhaps your pets are not rats, but Siberian hamsters.

'energistically create market positioning benefits in order to monotonectally cultivate maintainable imperatives and progressively evolve synergistic methods of empowerment for credibly synergizing accurate strategic theme areas!'

Is that you, Sir Humphrey?

"Noblesse Obleach"

'Stop exploiting women and get a fucking job.'

- But isn't that precisely what they've already got?

The Chinese government's reaction to the delay could be construed as rather hypocritical, in view of its present action in claiming territorial rights over almost the whole of the South China Sea - in flagrant disregard of international law.

The British government is, in my opinion, quite right to pause and consider the full ramifications of the Hinkley Point project, including the reliance on Chinese investment on such a massive scale. Britain must not make itself a hostage to fortune.

"By blocking the only remaining avenue for content creators to earn a living from their extremely hard work, you are helping put them out of business"

I'm more than happy to put sites that depend solely on advertising derived from third-party ad-feed companies out of business. These, more than any other cause, are the monstrosities that have ruined the web experience for so many people and given any form of advertising a bad name.

"I was thinking it's a crow about to damage my crops!"

Just turn the logic round, and here's the obvious use for a bird-drone - a scarecrow.

' Imagine a future where people fondly reminisce about the school-days and the fun they had in the classroom'

There's a wonderful short story written by Isaac Asimov in 1951 called 'The Fun They Had', set in the far future when all education is home-based and completely computerised. It's just as relevant today as it was then.
