It's infuriating that he comes back to get the last word and prove that he didn't learn anything.

I'm sure plenty of homeless people will get to stay there 😊

Alright I'll be ready in an hour, plus a little bit to download the game again.

If you think it's "mind-boggling" then you need to drive more. Take the dash cam footage from my drive to work on any day and you'll find plenty of people driving dangerously and illegally. Throw the book at them.

I'll be home in about 12 hours if nobody else can do it sooner.

I don't think they do convey the same information.

“They don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” US President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary four-letter outburst as he criticised breaches of the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Trump aimed the bulk of his anger at Israel, saying he would try to avert further planned attacks.

All the summary has done is remove the quote. That part IS the news that's being reported on, it matters just as much as the context.

Qatar was the “obvious choice” for Iranian retaliation against the US because it hosts the largest US military base in the Middle East while also acting as a trusted intermediary for Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari explained after the missile attack near Doha.

This one has removed the source (which is fair enough if you think that's not useful information, but I wouldn't agree), one of the two reasons given, and the context. Someone who only sees this summary will have no idea what it's about or how to look into it further, which means they're going to have to read the (one sentence) article anyway.

As for paragraphs, yes. Text that looks like this

is not useful to anybody. I'm not reading this, you haven't read this. It's awful.

Obviously. Point is it's either completely unreadable or completely unnecessary. Why are you summarising a postcard?

I'm like the only person here actually giving feedback. Make it readable and don't waste people's time summarising two sentences.

When I looked a couple of hours ago the first link's summary was an enormous block of text with no formatting and the second was about 40 words summarised to 20.

Why Is There So Much Hate for Cybertruck Owners?

This situation raises an important question: Why is there so much negativity towards Cybertruck owners?

Elon Musk Controversy: Some people dislike Musk’s political views and take it out on Tesla owners.
Bold Design: The Cybertruck already attracts attention—some love it, some hate it.
Political Associations: Many see the Cybertruck as a “right-wing” vehicle, causing backlash from those who disagree.
Jealousy & Class Divide: Some people resent expensive vehicles, assuming the owners are wealthy.
Flashy Wrap Choices: A gold Cybertruck makes an already controversial vehicle stand out even more.

Whatever the reason, no one should be harassed for simply driving the vehicle they love.

Yes, that's why.

I feel a bit bad for the people who really did buy it because they thought it was cool and not to make a statement. I can only assume those people exist because you never hear about them, but if they do that sucks. But yeah I'm just jealous of someone driving an enormous gold block probably.

even less on desktop computers

Blocktube and Enhancer for Youtube are Firefox extensions that can hide all of that shit completely. Mine has all shorts disabled, and I've removed the recommended videos panels from the right hand side & ends of videos, plus disabled any non-playlist autoplay. There's still crap on the Home tab, but I don't use that so I've never needed to look into ways to improve it, I just use the subbed tab and playlists. My YT shows me exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The Blocktube extension settings can be password-locked.

Dude was convicted of 34 felonies and THEN got elected president for a second time after a disastrous first term which ended with him inciting an insurrection to try to stay in power, the richest man in the world (credibly!) said he's a pedophile and is covering it up, which surprised nobody because we all fuckin know, he said himself that he could shoot someone on the street and not lose any voters. What "dirt" do you think anyone has on him that he would be worried about?

Why is it over Breaking Bad? I don't see the connection.

 

Hopefully this is the right place to ask, I'm not active on any other sites so this is the only place I could think of. I'm in Australia and I haven't kept up with any promotions' wrestling apart from the odd PPV since maybe the Ruthless Aggression era. The last thing I watched was Lucha Underground, which I had to torrent.

I want to show my partner some old PPVs (specifically Survivor Series 2002 and Royal Rumble 2005 for now), as far as I can tell the WWE Network has been discontinued and it tells me everything will be on Netflix now, but it's not clear if that's all of the archives or just new stuff. Searching online tells me Raw is possibly on Netflix, and they say in this FAQ that "select countries" get "select content" which tells me fuckin nothing. Other sites don't mention Netflix at all but say there's stuff on Peacock, Binge, Foxtel Now, or Kayo, none of which I've ever used and none of which are specific about what they offer.

Help? I'm willing to pay or pirate, I don't care as long as the quality is watchable. I don't have any streaming service accounts and don't want to have to sign up for them just to see what they're exactly offering.

Edit: Thanks for the responses.

 

For the first time I’ve put a tiny bit of effort into making a building look like… something. It ships in nitrogen, iron & copper ingots and alclad sheets, then ships out cooling systems and motors - I was making the motors for the cooling device alternate recipe anyway, so I figured I’d export half of them at the same time considering they’ll be going to the same place for the turbo motors & thermal propulsion rockets.

Usually I drop a bunch of foundations, spread out machines and clip conveyors through each other all over the place, put up some walls and never bother to light it, paint it or stick a ceiling on. This time I followed advice I’ve seen on this community and in Excrubulent’s videos. I’ve got blocks of machines which actually have space around them, conveyors are up on the ceilings & out of the way, and I’ve built upwards. I don’t have any better photos because I’m not on my gaming PC and this is just what I’d sent to a friend, but there you go.

If I were to redo it I’d have some changes to make to the way I connect the train platforms (like why the hell did I build it all the way over there instead of integrating the station into the ground floor?), and I’d have a dedicated conduit on one side of the building for sending items/power cables up and down rather than having lifts on either side of the main factory floor, but that’s what learning is all about. I like having 1-2 items produced per floor and shipping things up as needed, then dropping the final product from the top back down to the train.

I just have a couple of buildings left for Phase 4 (2 more project parts, but all of the components are produced in other factories and the only raw material I’ll need to process is the copper for the Nuclear Pasta, everything else can be achieved in 5 machines total). I was thinking in Phase 5 it’d be cool to build upwards like this then stick a drone platform on the roof for exports. I dunno.

Bonus pic from the train station you can see in the background:

 

I'm looking for a mod that'll let me set up a master list of work bills that can be done by multiple pawns across multiple workstations without having to edit the bills list of each one. Does this exist?

I currently use a mod (one of Dub's I want to say?) that can clone and link bills, but you still have to set up each workbench individually and remember to link anything new you add so it still gets tedious in a large colony. Something used to do this iirc, possibly Fluffy's Colony Manager, but I'm sure it didn't in the previous verstion or two and I've only started getting into 1.5 in the last week so I'm not sure if anything new has popped up.

Alternatively, if this isn't already a thing and anyone's up for making it I'd be happy to throw some money your way.

Thanks.
