fwiw, modchips for the Switch are commonplace and while I haven't been on any of the listed sites there are plenty with similar sounding names that offer Switch games for download.

Lots of people still choose to buy/build houses in disaster prone areas. "It hasn't happened in the last 30 years" doesn't mean it won't tomorrow.

This is quite plausible if one subscribes to Boström's Simulation Argument.

Which any sane Vulcan of course does.

He's autistic (level 2) so logic works if expressed clearly showing him that the ones he were influenced by weren't being honest/truthful. Also, still young enough to listen to his parents.

I had my own son radicalized by Tik Tok's algorithms. With some parental guidance he managed to "break loose", but no, there was nothing wrong or fleeting with his views before that happened imho.

Extremely scary to watch.

If the roads are for the same traffic (origin/destination etc) - why not?

When Malmö built the outer ring the congestion on the inner ring decreased substantially. This is common knowledge with the hundreds of thousands of people who live and drive cars here but you can at least find a sentence about it here as well: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttre_Ringv%C3%A4gen

I'm guessing you 1) live in the US and 2) don't drive a car.

It seems very important to you to just talk about the US.

Kagi search engine working with Russia (fedia.io)
 

Swedish author and famous pro-Ukraine blogger Lars Wilderäng (Cornucopia) reports today that the Swedish security expert Karl Emil Nikka has revealed that Kagi is using the Kremlin propaganda tool Yandex as a backend for searches.

Wilderäng speculates this might mean search terms are leaking to Russia, while others worry about how Kremlin thus can get their talking points into western search results.

Security expert Karl Emil Nikka tells us that the search engine Kagi, popular among tech geeks, uses Russian Yandex, which was introduced after the full-scale invasion. This, of course, gives Russia the opportunity to look at what is searched for via Kagi.
