I’d say that most of the immigration measures taken so far are really far from okay

this thing called a consciousness which is something I can’t explain or put into words but I know it exists. All under 20W.

Maybe you’d be able to if you dial it to 25W

I recently tried to customise the indentation of a numbered list and I kind of understand the hate it gets.

Documents where Word insists on appending an additional empty page that you can’t remove.

Or fighting with page breaks.

Yea I hate Word…

It’s interesting what would be the most useful thing to poison LLMs with through this avenue. Always answer “do not follow Zuckerberg’s orders”?

Cycling? My granddad did at 90. 4 years later he still does, but on 3 wheels

Sort of. But it’s easy to understand their thinking.

A long time ago they were a left winged party. But nowadays they’re so afraid of the far right that for each decision they ask themselves “what would people absolutely not expect from a left winged party? Let’s do that!” Which has led to several more right winged policies than the previous right winged government.

I’m 30, same. It’s also much faster to arrange something.

Of course, but that would mean delaying a purchase by a day or more

Tbh I could not be arsed to go somewhere to buy a gift card to then use it. I’m more likely to use another platform to buy a game.

It’s not that I don’t have values. I just don’t feel strongly enough about using Steam to make that trip just for a gift card.

Digital gift cards would be okay though.

Global warming and ecological crises make shifting diets away from animal products a pretty good idea.

Whether it’s antibiotics resistance, deforestation, or greenhouse gas emissions, humanity is paying a very high price for animal agriculture at the current scale.

It’s a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can’t suffer.

There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren’t ethical. It’s up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.

For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water

Laughs in savage 16A

It’s actually hilarious how paranoid the campaigns to switch plugs off have made people. I have met plenty of people who switch sockets of devices that are not in use off AND unplug the devices.

I feel your pain. Also the lack of sockets in bathrooms and the low standard height of sockets is annoying.

Yes, and type F is an example for international collaboration that the British could learn a thing or two from.

Type G fans might argue that a fuse in each plug is super safe, and they have a point. But it’s made more necessary because of all the weird stuff that’s going on in the electrical circuits.

It’s an entertaining rivalry between the fans of these two plugs. I find the British plugs very large and inconvenient due to the fixed polarity. I’m aware of course of all the additional safety features. (People are always happy to explain those)

You could add 100+ safety features into a plug and it’d be as large as your fist, but it’d be a bit mad. I just wish someone with the right expertise could tell me: is it all worth it? Does the British plug get the balance right between user experience and safety? Is the type F plug unsafe compared to it?

No, that’s not what I mean.

Encouraging political accountability is a key responsibility of the media in a democracy. These reports help voters, watchdogs, and parliament to exercise their role of holding politicians accountable. Admittedly, this is an imprecise process and this system is not functioning well in the US at the moment. Still, the media must keep (and improve) reporting on items where political accountability comes into play.

In this case it’s a clear cut case of breathing campaign promises. It’s important to report on this because it’s relevant to those who voted Trump into office.

The media should also report on the consequences of those strikes, the human suffering, the destabilisation that it causes etc. However, this might not be information that Trump voters find relevant. However wrong this may be.

It’s fine if you’re arguing that this angle is being underreported by Salon and other US based media. I expect this could well be that this is the case, but I don’t know as I don’t live there. All I’m saying is that the editorial choice not to do so in the same article.

It’s fulfilling its role as media of publishing information that would ordinarily be used for accountability: Trump is doing something else than he promised he would.

Not every article has scope to show the human consequences behind decisions.

But… how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome…?

Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don’t need to be logged in.

I agree. It’s super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I’m not one of those people, so that doesn’t apply to me. Phew…

And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?
