Isn't this dude a Senator? He can help end the stupid tariff war any time he wants. If he can grow a spine and bring 4 friends with him he can at least put pressure on his pals on the house of representatives.

I've seen pretty a dump dog understand elevators well enough to run down the stairs to follow someone that had just gotten into an elevator.

And analytics. And offloading as much computation to the client, because servers are expensive and inefficiency is not an issue if your users are the ones paying for it.

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can't even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being's life.

I did a quick search, and it seems that the full price of generic version of this inhaler in Germany costs between 30 and 40 euros. With a prescription is either 5 euros or free depending on why it was prescribed.

The problem of the US healthcare is much deeper than just the insurance companies. Every single layer of the system is rotten.

An additional executive order meant to "protect the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public threats" is undeniably meant to apply to pro-Palestinian protesters across America, particularly on college campuses.

The driver ... came to Germany in 2006. But he is not an Islamist ... on the contrary: He was apparently a radical critic of Islam and sympathized with the AfD – and Elon Musk.

You don't lie, lying will get you into trouble. You just don't mention it if they don't ask. And if they don't ask it's probably not that important. Most job descriptions are like Christmas wishlists anyway, they will be happy if they get half of it.

Let it stand. If ads are an integral part of the work and its message, let's make the website owners fully legally responsible for the content of every single ad they display. If any ad contains malware or is a scam let's throw the C-suite in jail for it.

That would solve most of the issues with ads really fast.

An unspecified technical problem forced the Rio-bound Boeing aircraft to turn back shortly after takeoff from Amsterdam. A spokesperson for Dutch air traffic control said the plane requested to land as a precaution and turned around over Belgium some 40 minutes after takeoff.

Since then, Yvette’s pulled the same “trick” four times, although she insists she doesn’t see herself as a shoplifter and is “a goody goody” by nature: “I earn a reasonable amount in my senior position, drive an SUV, and live in a desirable postcode. Before my divorce, our girls attended private school.”

This kind of ÜberKarens are the reason we can't get nice stuff. Actions of people like her will be used to crack down on people that literally can't afford basic needs and to reduce the privacy of everyone else, while making the service shittier at the same time.

And she has the gall of calling her self a "goody goody". Bullshit, no one so self entitled is a nice person.

So, they went to the trouble of keeping a different set of functionalities just for Europe instead of unshittifying Windows for everyone. Wow.

Ironically, despite Apple's whining to get to this point, between this, and the EU forcing them to adopt USB-C, and, hopefully 3rd party stores and browsers, I may consider an iPhone for my next phone.

It's a pity you almost need to point a gun to their head for them to consider unshittifing their products.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

  • C.S. Lewis

Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are "childish" is the most childish trait an adult can display.

A new study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests the satellites are emitting "unintended" radiation from the electronics onboard the satellites.

These low-frequency radio waves, are being picked up by telescopes designed to scan that frequency range. That's because this range also happens to be instrumental to deep space observations.

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate's submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible's tragic demise.
