I've though about committing a crime before. When I do so, I'll consider Germany.

The problem is, all the good art and food is in Holland or France. What are you going to steal in Germany?

Lets be honest, if there were anything worth stealing in Germany, the British would already have done it.

Jokes aside again, criminals, even wanted criminals are by still protected by law. The law doesn't stop applying to people when they break it. The definition of an "outlaw" is someone who is expressly denied the protection of the law, so by definition an outlaw can't be wanted (hence the old trope about the wild west outlaw being wanted dead or alive is completely wrong), in effect an outlaw can't seek the protection of the law for crimes committed against them meaning another person can rob or murder them without consequence.

Jokes aside, I think the point is this isn't really a doxxing. Doxxing is an unauthorised release of personal information (usually with the intent to cause harm), this is really the opposite as it's a state releasing the name of a wanted criminal.

No, I think it's a real doxxing. The German authorities know they have little chance of getting their hands on the crims themselves because Russia, but instead they release their identity (complete with photos) and expose them to the attention of interested parties in their own country. These may include other criminals looking to persuade them to share some of their several million Euros/Dollars in accumulated funds, possibly assisted by bolt cutters and a blow torch, and maybe the Russian government themselves.

The Russians may not care about the criminality involved, but seeing a chance to get a couple of extra million to boost their failing economy in the wake of the war with Ukraine, the opportunity may be hard to pass up.

How is this any different to the FBI's most wanted list?

Clue By Four: it isn't.

Or the US seeking Osama Bin Laden, all criminals they have/had little chance of getting so they release the info in the hopes of someone coming forward with info leading to a capture. It also limits where they can travel to as it's a public notice that they're wanted.

This is the exact opposite of a doxxing.

No, we speak English and bad English here. Is that like English NG?

Rather than thinking of better ways to raise more beef, it would better to reduce beef consumption.
Industrial beef production uses 70% of agricultural land for feed, pasture, water, etc. including lots of chemical inputs and massive amounts of CO2 produced by the cattle and the all of the agricultural activity.

We've had averaging speed cameras in the UK for many years (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Many stretches of road with permanent cameras and often seen on major roadworks (e.g. sections of motorway being worked on for months).
Waze maps them as averaging sections with specific camera sites, so it's still useful.

In many countries including the UK, speed camera locations are public knowledge, the locations are published and there aren't that many mobile cameras (and they're housed in giant Transit vans). I don't bother with anything like Waze simply because the cameras are bright yellow boxes on the top of poles or huge transit vans with police markings. You can spot them a mile away and if you cant, you probably shouldn't be allowed to drive.

You’re not wrong. Remember when they kept saying Kamala would start a war?

Now the orange tub of shit started one himself and it’s totally different and necessary. They also all of a sudden care about the people of Iran.

I figured out years ago that what the far right claims the other side is going to do (or doing) is exactly what they intend to do.

But the biggest problem is that they are allowed to ask you how much you earned in your previous job and use it as a baseline.

The only answer to that question should be:
"No, you don't need to know. I had been underpaid in my previous job for years before finally reaching the limits of my loyalty and leaving. So no - you tell me what I am worth to you right now".

The correct answer is to lie.

Give them the figure you want, not the figure you have.

It's not like they can check (legally, at least in most countries).

Also, "my current role is WFH, so if this role requires any travel I'll need at least a £10,000 increase".
