What the fuck is this demented bullshit?

Isn’t the China that was our ally in WWII now actually Taiwan? Or am I misremembering the timeframe for the Chinese communist revolution?

Yeah I guessed Republican as soon as I saw the title.

I mean, the real answer to your problem is not to engage; not to feed the trolls. They get more reactions because they don’t care about what’s being said, just that they can bait you into replying. In this case, the best comeback is silence.

That car has found itself in quite the predicament

When they say “the lowest 20% of incomes”, that’s referring to, if you were to plot the incomes of every American on a graph and then drop some dividers down every 20%, the people in the bottom one of those bins. It’s not relative to the highest income dollar amount. The wealth inequality in this country is so bad that probably 75-85% of the population is making under 20% of the highest income by pure dollar amount.

An AI camera in a self driving car is absolutely not a citizen, so therefore cannot do a citizens arrest, even if this fits into that definition.

That’s more because children are minors, and the parents who are ultimately responsible for the conduct of their children agree to the forms of punishment the school uses. A school can’t detain a child indefinitely if a parent shows up to take them home.

Yes, and, the precedent it sets is scary. What if a waymo camera spots what it thinks is a bag of weed in your pocket in Texas and calls the cops while locking you in? Isn’t that false imprisonment or kidnapping? No private citizen or company has the right to retain someone else against their will.

No Taxi/Uber driver would pull over and lock the kids in while calling the cops either.

Valve has been setting the conditions to have your account have made a purchase before sometime in April and be in good community standing, which are pretty reasonable imo.

As long as this is opt-in (i.e. disabled by default), then sure. Otherwise, I’ll just have to find a new browser.

Sounds like a huge win to me!

Fairly thin magnetized case and thin screen protector on S26 Ultra. The built-in privacy filter means I don’t need anything beefier for a screen protector. Also have an OhSnap on the back for holding, which also helps even out the camera bump(s)

As long as you don’t own an LG TV

The company is Sapporo, in case anyone else was curious who to avoid purchasing beer from in the future

I came across a very narrow, 5 story store in Japan, a bit off the beaten path in Akihabara, selling exclusively N scale model trains. They had a floor or two dedicated just to the models, another one for scenery, and at least one just for repair parts for your trains. It was really cool to get to see a store that was pretty clearly a passion project for the owner(s) apparently doing well, and filling quite the niche in the hobby (I imagine)

I spent about 6 months living in Japan in the last year, and had zero trouble getting Yen. There are plenty of ATMs around, especially inside the konbinis, and the fee was rarely more than $1 or $2. At the time, ¥10,000 cost me roughly $66. My debit card barely (if at all) stacked any foreign transaction fees, and I was able to pay for a fair amount of things with my credit card, again with zero foreign transaction fees.

I mean, 2 of the 3 pictures that show trays show the same trays. The rest are all takeout containers, which are the kind of consumable that makes sense to be just whatever Supply can requisition. And I’m more likely to believe different tray styles per class, I.e. submarines might have a more efficient (and therefore costlier) design for more cramped quarters that a carrier doesn’t necessarily need.
