I agree, especially if it’s not in a built up area. There definitely something about being able to see the horizon.

I had my first root canal recently. Honestly it was no worse than a filling, the most painful part was simply having to lie still with my mouth open for so long.
(I hate the injections, but I always hate injections, worth it to go through the procedure pain free though)
It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you’re saying they can’t. So to call my research “armchair” is quite ironic.
The article you shared said that it’s only creators not in the YPP that don’t receive revenue but you either didn’t read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.
A quick Google says you’re wrong, I’m not an accountant for YouTube so I couldn’t prove otherwise. Presumably if there was zero benefit to creators, they would all turn the adverts off, rather than just some of them.
I’m aware that they only get a small percentage of the ad revenue but it’s like that in every business unfortunately. When I buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket, I know that only a tiny fraction of a percent the price will go in to the checkout worker’s or farmer’s, or the baker’s paycheck, but I’m not going to boycott supermarkets because of that.
A couple of ads isn’t the end of the world for most people. Whilst I understand that they are undersirable, I also want the creators I enjoy to be able to get paid.
Some of the creators I enjoy are quite niche and they put their time, effort and money in to making the content. I don’t think a couple of ads is too much to ask to help pay them back.
Most of the obvious choices will be posted so I’d like to give a shout-out to tuna and red onion, it sounds wrong but is surprisingly moreish!
I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted. You’ve asked a question that isn’t editorialised, appears to made in good faith and asks the opinions of others.
You’ve prompted some very good answers here.
Good point well made. In the UK Down’s syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there’s very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?
Most people would agree “I only want a child with blonde hair” is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it’s a tough line to draw.
It’s an uncomfortable question, but a question that appears to be made in good faith and OP shouldn’t be getting downvoted. I do not see the benefit of “burying” this question and the many well written answers in this thread show that.
This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to “do you have enough time and money?”
Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don’t have that information, but it doesn’t sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.
foiled again by quick lemmers
There’s a post from two days ago saying tomatoes, you weren’t foiled, you just didn’t bother to read the comments before posting.
One of my favourite things about super was to see the original Goku character come back. A goofy and loveable guy that’s a savant when it comes to fighting and just wants a bigger challenge.
Hercule. Not only is he fucking hilarious but without him the fights against Cell and Buu would have been lost.
In the Cell games he showed incredible bravery to throw 16’s head over to Gohan, enabling Gohan to hear the words he needed to go super sayin 2.
In the Buu saga, he befriended a monster, he showed kindness and compassion that was nearly able to end the fight before it even started. This later caused the good and evil buu’s to split. Without Hercule, Goku would not have been able to power up the spirit bomb that finishes Kid Buu.
To be fair, some phones already have that but they have much lower spec cameras/lenses, so it’s currently a trade off.
If a flag ship phone were to find away to implement a flush top spec camera, it would still only be an incremental improvement rather than a great new technology or a substantial innovation.
Yh, I’m not for bailing out companies that are “too big to fail”, I see it as socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor, but that’s a separate debate.
Tech stocks were a interesting case as they bloated far beyond their actual value during COVID, what happened in 2023 was probably somewhat of a renormalization and now they’re back to business as usual. There will always be peaks and valleys, but I’d be very surprised to see tech stocks fail in the long term.
I’m not going to argue that there has been no progress, just that it’s not on the same scale.
Look at the difference between phones from 2004 to 2014, then from 2014 to 2024 and surely you’d have to agree. We’re looking at huge leaps in tech and innovation Vs much smaller incremental improvements.
And I’d once again like to state that this is not a complaint, just a point of view showing that astonishing amounts of technological innovation are not necessarily required to keep companies in business.
On the contrary, I absolutely appreciate it. I was about 15 when mobile phones first became a thing that everyone owned, so I’ve lived through the entire progression from when they were something only a well to do businessman would have all the way through to today. The first iPhone was 2007, 17 years ago btw.
When mobile phones became popular, each new generation of phones saw HUGE improvements and innovation. However, the last ten years has pretty much just been slight improvements to screen/camera/memory/CPU. Form wise and functionally, they’re very similar to the phone of ten years ago.
I understand that some technophiles will always be able to justify why the new iPhone is worth £1600 and if that’s what they want to spend their money on then good for them, but I personally think that they are kidding themselves. Today you can get a brilliant phone for £300 or even less.
