This one sounds like bullshit. I doubt even the president has the power to launch nukes by themself. I don’t think there’s some codes somewhere that can be used like a password to launch nukes.

Speaking French like a native is so hard. They basically smush every word together into one long sound. I think the French also may not just say “two croissants please, you need to stick a “je prendre” in front or something. I know people who speak fluent French who still can’t speak to the locals in certain places because they can’t understand you unless you get the accent just right.


None of those features are of interest to me. I wouldn’t use them even if they were free.
I work in cyber security and I have lots of smart home things. I also assume my network’s being compromised at all times and keep anything really important on paper in a safe.


Earl Grey is fucking dogshit.


They’ve been under pressure in the EU to tackle fake reviews. Might be something to do with that.


My mother-in-law’s parents really wanted a boy and they were going to call him Nicholas. When she was born her mother wouldn’t look at her and didn’t want to name her, so a nurse suggested Nicola as she’s a girl, and the mother just shrugged and said okay.
She uses her middle name as her first name now. She did actually make up with her mother while her mother was on her deathbed, it was all frantic and wills were rewritten and all sorts.
Actually, every grain of sand could have around 45 billion IPv6 addresses.
In Morocco when they sacrifice a sheep for Aid (Eid) all the men in the families just take the sheep to the roof of the apartment block and hack at the sheep with a blunt knife until it dies. None of these guys know what they’re doing and the other sheep watch their friends getting hacked up while they wait their turn. I’ve never seen it myself but I’ve got a friend who’s been a couple of times and she says it’s brutal.
I used to know a guy in the UK Conservative Party (nice guy actually) and he told me that there was an expectation of them to maintain good relations with the US Republican Party, even though they had far more in common with the Democrats.


Wait and see. He’s centre-right and used to be in the same party.

They could’ve done it as a legal thing to make sure the IDF wasn’t using it to target centres of population.
Do American men not look after their kids?


No point getting upset about this, it’s inevitable. So many FOSS programmers work thanklessly for hours and now there’s some tool to take loads of that work away, of course they’re going to use it. I know loads of people complain about it but used responsibly it can take care of so much of the mundane work. I used to spend 10% of my time writing code then 90% debugging it. If I do that 10% then give it to Claude to go over I find it just works.
if it was as bad as she was making it out to be I’d be pretty pissed off too. It’s probably not though. Loud music very occasionally is okay but I’d expect it to be turned off around 10/11 unless it was a very special occasion and I’d been warned in advance (and invited). I doubt the smell of weed is that bad. They shouldn’t be handing out alcohol.


It took a few weeks for me. You may just need to slow your pace. I do it more by distance than by speed.


What’s that web interface thing? Is it home made? I keep thinking about doing something like that to save me having to remember port numbers for the different services on my home server.


Why are these companies wanting to pay to infuriate me? If I want to watch something and I’m suddenly interrupted by a 90 second unskippable intrusion I’m not going to have a positive relationship with your company.
It doesn’t say anything like the headline, it just says that if you’re living for the weekend you probably don’t like your job and should find a new one.
