If that was the case, you’d have mandatory voting like Australia.

When I’m driving, it’s actually unsafe for my car to be operated in that way

being able to consistently and reliably operate the thing without taking your eyes off the road

Considering they’d just spent the previous few questions discussing the visual-first aspect of touchscreens and accessibility issues for the visually impaired, I think that’s exactly what they were talking about.

The generalizations are about completely different devices. They talk about CT machines & automatic defibrillators later.

Apparently reading so many bad takes over the last few years has destroyed my ability to detect sarcasm. Sorry about that.

If you mean added to the bible after the council of Nicea decided on the contents of the bible, no. The bible, both old testament and new, is very explicitly pro-slavery.

Ephesians 6:5

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

Totally unrelated historical fact: Hitler’s attempted coup failed, and he was appointed as chancellor later on in a completely legal manner.

Thinking about it, there’s a lot in common between the skillsets needed to be competent presidents and lawyers. Both need to be convincing, make a case to an audience, and understand the law.

About the only things I can think of that presidents need to do that has nothing to do with being a lawyer are being the head of the military and making decisions around military operations.

Proving that you can and do follow through on existing policy is still a good thing to do.

I guess Germans read about the fate of the Eldar & birth of Slaanesh and took that as an instruction guide.

The key thing is practice. Like any creative pursuit, your first attempts will be trash. The greatest writers, artists and musicians ever went through this too. If you care about that form of creative expression, just keep at it!

Cyberpunk was supposed to be fiction, not a blueprint :(

By American standards, I don’t think that’s true. If I’m wrong about that, that would be amazingly good news!

Another Deezer user in the wild! Been a subscriber to it for years now.

On a more optimistic note, a true heir to Bernie will know how to negotiate with the center left to accomplish some of their goals in exchange for the support of progressives to win elections.

Thanks for the link, it was a very interesting read. While it is disappointing that it’s not actually a collective (assuming this blog post is accurate), having a platform run and owned by 6 creators is still better than YouTube’s governance structure, and still has the advantage in having both the capacity and desire to invest in creators.

An advantage of funding things via a collective like Nebula as opposed to each individual creator managing their own patrons is that new creators can start making bigger, more expensive projects quicker. Even established creators have this advantage, they can take bigger risks on bigger projects with the safety net of a share of the nebula pie.

I don’t think a project like The Prince would exist without Nebula, for example.

Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose

This is the way.

which was me moving my reusable bag to the other side at a low angle.

Seems like a system like that would be easily fooled by confidently moving an item across the scanner and into the baggage area without scanning it.

Not the same person, but I’m in a similar position, just further along. Getting meat out of my diet was actually really trivial. Cheese is the big problem.

Fully vegan when I cook at home, but vegan options in restaurants and fast food are non-existent where I live, so I have cheese whenever I eat out. I’ve also come to terms with the fact I can never be fully vegan because I have 2 cats who need their cat food.
