Strange.. I tried to post in the "Computers & Technology 4" thread... The usual access denied appeared after a long delay. Slow server? whatever...

Now I can't even access this thread (just reading): '403 You don't have permission to access this resource.'

Just this thread, others are normal.

<edit> if you change the sort order to oldest post first, you don't get the forbidden error! I'd say the DB has corruption and needs a rebuild of the index.

Thanks for this hint. I'd never thought this could influence the problem.

Quite frankly all these outlaw MC gangs should be locked up and the keys thrown away for all the trouble that they cause. I hope that their motorbikes all get crushed.

Eighteen bikies charged after Kwinana Freeway incident in Perth's southern suburbs.

Police have charged 18 patched members of the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) after an incident in Perth's southern suburbs on Friday evening that led to a section of the Kwinana Freeway being blocked.

It began about 5.25pm when police were notified that a large group of riders had congregated at a petrol station on Safety Bay Road.

A police statement said "significant" resources were sent to the scene, as well as Police Air Wing.

They had spotted the group allegedly riding recklessly, in convoy, north on the Kwinana Freeway.

Officers activated lights and sirens, but they allege the riders failed to stop and continued travelling at excessive speed.

Police say two of the riders then blocked their vehicles, with the rest of the group riding on.

However, officers stopped traffic on the freeway near Millar Road in Baldivis.

It forced the group to a halt, causing significant traffic congestion on the freeway.......

They're a total waste of oxygen.

Fun Fact:

The U.S. already acquired territory from the Kingdom of Denmark in the past, the Danish West Indies.

Today's U.S. Virgin Islands, among them: Little St. James, aka 'Epstein Island'.

The Danes for decades tried to convince the German Empire or the U.S. to take over this unprofitable colony until the U.S. government finally agreed to a bilateral treaty, buying the Islands for $25m in 1916.

In the same 1916 treaty the U.S. renounced any claim to Greenland and recognised Danish sovereignty over the entire island [of Greenland]

...and by the way:

[...] the 1916 Lansing Declaration, soon followed by ratification by the US Senate, US President, and Denmark and a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson, has been considered a binding contract and part of the Treaty of the Danish West Indies; the material breach of which is argued to have weakened the legal foundation of US sovereignty in the Virgin Islands..

Back in 1916 the U.S. government preferred to own the Danish West Indies. There was no need to own or control Greenland because of the vast British (Canadian) territory which separates the continental U.S. from a hypothetical German occupation of Danish Greenland. Far more concerning was a potential German occupation of the Danish West Indies, in close proximity to the strategic important Panama Canal (just opened in 1914).
