Max-stats 😎

I mean, ethics aside, countries very, very rarely reveal anything about their spy plane activity.

You sound like me at uni. If you can, go and try get your exam deferred, take a decisive week break and get back to it at a pace that works better for you.

I have 4-5 realllly dark spots on my transcripts because of my stubbornness. Didn’t help in job searching very much.

Most non-americans I know use a toaster, not a toaster oven. These require quite a bit less space and are significantly quicker than bread & pan method (also lower calorie, because you don’t need to butter or oil the bread before “cooking”).

For those of us who eat toast on the daily, a standard English style toaster is absolutely essential.

You hit the nail on the head:

Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely anti “AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap”. If that’s what being Anti AI is…to that I say Amen.

Most cases in consumer ai, it’s data harvesting gone haywire and it’s not being implemented to benefit society.

From what I see, very few people are stupid enough to blanket hate it, but it is overhyped and being used maliciously.

The only way I see is faking the data as much as possible. I’m a 93 year old individual living 3 towns over and I only have my very, very old de-googled phone. For 1 it worked, for the other it didn’t as they sent a letter to confirm the process

Where is this quote from?

But yeah…, in retrospect the writing was in fact on the wall.

I hold the following opinion and am happy to have it challenged:

1. This is standard Orban propaganda and can be ignored.

2. The EU does not hold enough cards to ignore the threat of a 30% tarrif as it currently relies on the US for energy, with the only (immediate term) alternative being Russia.

3. It is incredibly sad to see the Americans blackmail a long-standing and key global ally. This will take generations to repair.

4. It is clear the EU was not aligned on how to proceed with these negotiations. Sometimes, aligning the interest of 27 states is difficult.

I think this just shows the lack of cards the EU has to play at this point in time.

May I ask why? I’ve never felt it was really a necessary feature.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is imperative that people understand the reality of the energy transition and move away from the spotty doomsday or otherwise reporting on the topic.

They did 2 things well (from an economic perspective) in my vaguely shit memory:

• built of the success of castaway a few years earlier and survivor
• marketed the absolute hell out of it pre-release. I remember hundreds of ads showing in the months leading to to it.

It paved the way for a lot of long running, high budget tv shows like heroes, supernatural etc…

I also severely disliked it.
