I assume this is for EU citizens only to sign?

I've never heard of Bob Vylan... but now I've been giving them a listen and I'm enjoying it and hope any 'sanctions' they face will only help to make them more popular.

If we just accept these things, they will keep pushing for more.

They are going to do whatever they want to do. They've long passed the point of caring if they anger people.

I'm not saying to waste space... but when manufacturers start a pissing match among themselves and say that it's because it's what the customers want, we end up with shit. Why does anyone need a screen that curves around the edge of the phone? What purpose does this serve? Who actually asked for this?

I would give up some of my screen area to have forward facing speakers. I want a thicker phone that has better battery life. I also want to be able to swap out my battery. Oh, and I don't want the entire thing encased in glass. If we're so concerned about phone size then they should stop designing them so that a case is required.

Oh, I know, and I know it was an absolute dumb thing to even think would be in the realm of possibility, but I was just trying to find something, anything to grab on to and help keep my hope on the ventilator.

The best I'm hoping for now is that trump will do something good on accident, like how he legalized thc in 2018. Sure, he did it in the stupidest way possible, but it's something.

a proper scholar

She graduated from Brown and is currently working towards a PhD at Oxford, but yes, because she has had a job as an actor she can't be anything more than that.

It isn't an allergy to all meat though... the meat from primates are safe for people with Alpha-gal Syndrome. Time to invest in monkey farms.

given that Elon Musk's SpaceX has just recorded its fourth failed rocket launch in a row, they will no doubt be paying attention to how Honda approaches its launches.

That's a bit disingenuous. First, SpaceX has not had 4 launch failures in a row. The Starship has had 4 test flights in a row end in explosion, but SpaceX has had other successful launches between the Starship explosions. Also, the Honda rocket is not comparable to Starship, it is closer to the Falcon.

It is quite ok to congratulate Honda on their accomplishment without even mentioning Musk, much less by drawing false comparisons.

Agreed.

I hate trump and Musk and I morn the world we could have if it weren't for people like them. However... after the election the only bit of hope that I - and which I knew would never happen - was that maybe they would use their authoritarianism to make the very hard decisions that could lead to a better society, such as phasing out human operated vehicles on public roads in favor of interconnected, self-driving vehicles. We have the technology to do so many amazing things... there just isn't enough profit to bribe the politicians, pay the executives and build it to make it worth while.

My state is single consent and I was recording a call with att once and the rep straight up tried to gaslight me. When I told her that I was recording this, so I can play back exactly what she said, she told me that she's in California and didn't give consent. I laughed and told her that since I'm not sitting in California I don't really care about their laws at the moment.

Nah, if you need to know why they've been vanquished to Australia you just need to look into their defense strategy.

This is the reason for the sly smileWhen a female quokka with a joey in her pouch is pursued by a predator, she may drop her baby onto the ground; the joey produces noises which may serve to attract the predator's attention, while the mother escapes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quokka#Description

 

From the article: The Open Data Institute that I co- founded in London has taken on the challenge of international co- ordination for a new standard that gives users control over their own data. It is called Solid (for social linked data) and the technical details are controlled by W3C, the web standards consortium. Solid seeks to decentralise the web. The platform can be used to build new applications that request access to user data. This data is stored in such a way that users have complete control over it.

 

I was curious how well it would work for switching between projects at work. I manage IT for several different offices and sometimes it is difficult to switch between my many various projects.

 
 

I went in and bumped up the graphics to 'High' and it is beautiful and plays great.

If you want it free from GOG you'll need to be sure you have it setup in Heroic Launcher.

 

I've heard that the reason Puerto Ricans can't vote is because Puerto Rico isn't a state and it is states that choose the president, not voters. But what about expats living abroad? Do they just get to pick which state gets their vote? If so, couldn't Puerto Ricans do that too?And what about people in DC? Where do their electoral college votes come from?

I'm sure I'm missing something here, I'm just not sure what.

 

Prompt___a ((realistic photo)) featuring a burrito-shaped ((rocket wearing a ((sombrero)))), orbiting the moon. The rocket should resemble a burrito, complete with tortilla texture, ((tortilla chip fins)), cheese sauce exhaust flames, and ((giant sombrero on top)), highly detailed, excitement and whimsy
