When I think of the Online Safety Act I think of Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister. There’s a line where he says “The Official Secrets act isn’t to protect secrets, it’s to protect officials”.

The Online Safety Act exists to protect the safety of the government, not its people.

‘Soar’ is fine. It’s taking about the relative value of the currency vs the dollar. Not the attitude of the countries toward the dollar, where indeed ‘sour’ would be appropriate.

Ripples from Friday and Monday's record rally in the Taiwan dollar are now spreading outward, driving surges for currencies in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong.

You mean just maybe Tesla isn’t worth more than all other car makers combined. I can’t believe it.

Maybe if that $56bn bonus goes through he’ll think of something. Heh.

As a British guy who worked in the USA for a while, my colleagues couldn’t fathom that I had no interest in going to Disneyland. It was kinda weird the obsession some of them had with it.

“The same thing happened in my First Term,” he added

Videos purchased in Prime Video don’t require a Prime subscription. The subscription only covers the ‘free’ stuff.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to the ‘don’t call them exemptions’ covering the console but not separate controllers.
