He sounds a bit like those advocates that say only Russian/Chinese/Saudi Arabian news are telling the truth, when it is all state controlled outlets.

vxx ,

Funny that they want you to allow all java scripts but then criticise first party scripts for being unsave.

I bet [insert random autocrat here] would approve of that message.

I can't believe they killed reddit for AI bots.

I think we all saw the campaign through the lense of bot farms.

Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

vxx ,

You would assume we have wipers down after decades without failure.

Wipers often are the only moving part still working after a car totalled.

You don't need much content or many comments to achieve the goal, when you have thousands of votes behind it for the good placement.

You may only need a couple hundred though. Reddit's algorithm is particularly broken and once a post is on hot it's unstoppabe.

So you admit you're only reading headlines and base your opinion on it?

Did the thought cross your mind that all the billion dollar companies behind for-profit browsers might have an interest in Firefox failing?

It might be time to replace the "?" with an "!" behind the "Trump Troll" tag I have on you.

Those poor children but also parents.

I read the homepage of Trails Carolina and I would almost fall for them even after knowing what they're up to.

This place sounds like therapy heaven.

vxx ,

I fully agree, but doesn't this argument go the other way as well, when children grow up to Hamas attacking cities since decades?

vxx ,

So how to break the cycle?

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

If there really is a cosmic web and information flows through it, the other solar system will know that we're coming to destroy another world, but it will have developed defensive techniques against a known disease, humans. The same our immune systems does to known viruses.

I went a bit creative with this one.

Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by eating berries ( www.theguardian.com )

As McClish told it, the 34-year-old outdoors enthusiast from Boulder Creek, California, lost his bearings after beginning his hike the morning of 11 June. He had not informed anyone else of his plans, so it would not be until the afternoon of Thursday, 20 June, that the unkempt-looking hiker was found at the bottom of a remote...

He lost his bearings.

The high speed Internet coverage is quite the opposite though.

Texas congressman won’t stop wearing combat Infantryman Badge that was revoked ( www.military.com )

More than a month after a news report revealed that the Combat Infantryman Badge Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, wears on his lapel was revoked since he was never eligible for the award to begin with, the congressman refuses to take the pin off....

Essential Floss unwaxed is approved for pregnancy, it has no fluorides.

Our whole capitalistic system is built around endless growth. That's the reason population has to grow endlessly too.

Are there different versions of Windows 11? Mine doesn't show ads at all.

vxx ,

I have Win 11 Pro. I had Starfield ads on my lock screen for a while. I also had those search recommendations, but that's it. Now I have nothing. Maybe it's related to EU?

vxx ,

Did I understand that correct that applicants would have to tell their real name?

vxx ,

That's what made me wonder. Do they just assume applicants use their real name on social media, and when they don't find anything online the person seems sus?

Do they ask for a police record like companies here would do sometimes?

I'm not familiar with that term unless you work with critical infrastructure and such, so I assumed they might just want to see some online behaviour from the past years with some proof that applicants have experience as admins.

vxx ,

Wow, it's the same for Mozilla VPN (Mulvulla) which doesn't even pretent you're from a different country.

vxx , (edited )

It seems to me like they blocked all VPN users.

I have the same experience on Mozilla VPN and I didn't use reddit for a year.

Edit: It
let's me through when I log into my old account.

They won't. They will use two Triton submersibles, the market leader that builds submersibles for a long time. They are not going to build their own fever dream.

Not to mention the Expedition leader left Ocean gate over 10 years ago.

This is not interesting at all and is click bait that shouldn't even make the news section.

vxx , (edited )

(Also, the last one was their own fever dream... made of CF. Just saying.)

I figured something was odd when the expedition page didn't have pictures of the submersible on it, and just mention it in one sentence somewhere.

Edit: Waybackmachine Was a relevation

The Technology To Get Us There

We push the limits of technology, science, and human endurance to raise awareness of Planet Earth, our “Blue Marble”. For this expedition, we will use a variety of ocean exploration technologies, including:

The Cyclops submersible, made by OceanGate, has eight hours of life support for a crew of five and an emergency system to support five people for four days. With a 57” acrylic dome that allows for 180º degree visibility, Cyclops will enable our crew to descend as far as 500 meters below Dean’s surface with unparalleled visibility. It is equipped with internal and external lighting and video equipment for capturing the highest quality of video content while we explore.

Cyclops can descend 500 meters and is designed to meet the most rigorous needs of governmental and commercial expeditions. With control spheres to house sensors and controllers outside the pressure hull, it has minimal hull penetrations to

Also:

When exploring the depths of Dean’s Blue Hole, we’ll be able to venture beyond the submersible thanks to the EXOSUIT, developed and built in Vancouver by Nuytco Research Ltd. Constructed from aluminum alloy, it’s also lightweight — 500-600 lbs — and can operate underwater for up to 50 hours at depths up to 1,000 feet. A number of rotary joints that mimic elbows, knees, and shoulders allow for significant mobility, giving divers exceptional dexterity and flexibility to perform delicate work. The EXOSUIT is equipped with 852 Ultra-Miniature scanning SONAR.

I think I take back my initial statement

I don't know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.

Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.

Because Egypt and Jordan reported their numbers.

Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, that's all I need to know to dismiss all of their "reporting".

You could give your compiler a lower priority instead of upping everything else.

while declining to explicitly say whether it would come to Taiwan's aid if China attacked.

“You didn’t want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons,” a reporter said to Mr. Biden. “Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?”

“Yes,” Mr. Biden answered flatly.

“You are?” the reporter followed up.

“That’s the commitment we made,” he said.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/23/world/asia/biden-taiwan-china.html

Sounds more like someone came to their senses but tries to save face....hopefully. You never know if this is just a strategic move to make others believe they won't attack.

It's a feature in Boost as well.

If he's declining there's still Harris.

They were already addicted. The warnings are not made for them.

They have been gutted for a decade. It was a genius move to circumvent their complete failure by using the inflation reduction act.

You're welcome.

30 million is 10c for every voter they try to reach. That's about a letter per household if bought in masses.

It's important to look closely so they can't misuse the funds, and they need to be held accountable if they do.

Divide and conquer

“And this is what he said. He said, ‘Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’ I said, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’”

Eric is denying now that he ever said that.

No, not the driver, the faulty sensors and programming that should've never been approved for the road.

Habe you read the article? It made the Tesla crash into the police car.
