> Well fix that problem then. If someone puts a smoke detector above a toaster you don't just pull the battery and call it a day.
I think what's happening here is that the smoke detector is indicating the possibility of fire, but the toaster is always being immediately doused in water. Which as we know would cause more damage than good unless there truly was a raging inferno.
The suggestion here seems to be moving the smoke detector to somewhere where there's a higher chance of it ringing means a higher chance of a damaging fire. Which seems quite reasonable.
Sadly I’ve noticed that comments on this topic usually devolve into tribal comments about how ‘things are done in the EU’ which always seem to not be actually that representative of the 27 different countries of the EU, but of course must be better than the US.

This is so true, the EU countries are super diverse, and yet EU citizens tend to believe that whatever happens in their country is common across the Union.
“ If, for example, the payment was made by credit card and the product has not been delivered, the consumer can contact their credit card company directly and request a refund.
Credit card firms can usually refund the money quickly, Beurling-Pomoell noted, whereas consumers who paid by debit card must try to claim their money back from the bankruptcy estate.
"Unfortunately, [reclaiming money from a bankruptcy estate] is usually a very long and difficult process. Consumers are generally in a relatively weak position when a company goes bankrupt," he said.
Beurling-Pomoell added that consumers should always consider using a credit card when purchasing a product that they do not immediately receive.”
If you have a ham radio licence (anywhere in the world) you can request a /24 if IPv4 space from AMPR for free.
It cannot be used commercially and should be in the ‘spirit’ of amateur radio. Unfortunately there’s also a bit of a backlog it seems (a couple of months) right now.
Quite a lot of interesting stuff - for example there are mesh networks setup worldwide that attempt to run IP over RF using these - and then use the internet to forward packets from one to another.
They also offer simpler ‘turn-key’ wireguard tunnels too for things like Web SDR setups.
For BGP direct announce in practice it seems to be in the spirt of non-commercial ‘self learning and experimentation’ which is what a lot of legislatures around the world do use as their base definition for the ‘amateur’ in amateur radio. So I guess much like having slices of radio frequencies reserved for it, we’re lucky there are slices of address space reserved for this.
It's probably much more boring. The choice was likely between leaving the whole water bottle and its contents in a bin of forbidden/discarded items, going home and missing the flight, or chugging it, or arranging a courier for said bottle.
Probably the act of defiance of pouring the contents onto the floor where there was no drain was implied to be disruptive and would have lead to harsher sanction for no reasonable payoff.
