The vehicle contained it all pretty well, with the main exit for force and fire was via the window between the trunk and the cabin

Engineered like a tank… but the tank is a T72

If you want to know if your kid is LGBTQ+, respect them as humans when they’re growing up and don’t be trans- homo- etc-phobic. They’ll tell you at some point.

If they don’t tell you, take a long hard look at yourself

The headline overreaches as the article doesn’t support the passport dying as much as some early exploration into potential digital variants, and some convenience efforts to not have to show the passport.

Dying would be “most people use the digital variant, it’s accepted everywhere and we’re phasing out the paper variant”… which sounds like it might happen on the same timeline as large scale fusion energy

I remember a bunch of people seeming sincere about it, and a lot of money was wasted on it, including from companies like apple.

I never understood why. It was so obviously a doomed idea from day 1

The only amazing thing about the metaverse was that some people believed the hype, and that people paid to promote it could do it with a straight face.

I remember a lot of fanboys who just uncritically believe whatever the latest hype is. The problem for the metaverse is that those people move on quickly and are probaly all talking about “AI” nowadays

Yeah it’s not hugely effective

If the permanent members of the security council didn’t have veto powers they A: wouldn’t have joined, and B: would go “you and what army?” if people voted to force them to do something.

It’s just a way to keep a high level discussion going.

I don’t think that’s an accurate representation.

Covid happened. It hit most countries like that. Now he’s trying to balance things again, against intense opposition

The root cause is not recent. The french have been overspending for decades. Look at the debt to GDP ratio over time.

France has had two choices for a long time; continue overspending or balance the budget. They keep picking overspending.

Like Macron or not, but at least he’s trying to balance the budget. If he ends up failing, they’ll have to try again later, from a worse starting point, or over time descend into economic collapse

There’s no free lunch

They are enemy psy op actors, whether they know it or not

I imagine the thought process is that it’s easier to do it now during the chaos than later when there’s some form of new government and organised defence.

They’re taking out capabilities so a new, possibly not Israel friendly government, won’t have them, and thus will be less of a threat.

It doesn’t make it ok of course.

Is iCloud a file sharing service or social network in some way? If it isn’t, comparing them with such services makes no sense

You should have though. This type of scanning is the thin end of the wedge to complete surveillance. If it’s added, next year it’s extended to cover terrorism. Then to look for missing people. Then “illegal content” in general.

The reason most people seem to disagree with you in this case is that you’re wrong

I didn’t claim there are any nazis, read again.

There are certainly nazis on twitter though, now that you brought it up, and Musk seems to like them

I get it, My point was needlessly pedantic. Sorry about that

You’re strangely angry

The problem isn’t that the model doesn’t know when it doesn’t know. The models never know. They’re text predictors. Sometimes the predictive text happens to be right, but the text predictor doesn’t know.

They never know about something though. They are just text randomisers trained to generate plausible looking text
