“Vote from the rooftops”

Georgian and/or Russian

Aren’t there some that come from Korean (“cheugy”, IIRC, and some gamer slang)?

Having had breakfast at an American diner and not needing to eat for the rest of the day, I can almost believe that. Food portions there are huge.

Bandcamp if it’s something that’s on there vs (typically independent artists/labels), or if not, Qobuz (a French company, who sell DRM-free music in formats including lossless FLAC, and have major-label releases that aren’t on Bandcamp).

I can imagine the Trump administration ordering a kill switch to be put into the export version, explicitly disregarding any concerns. I can also imagine the kill switch being vibe coded by some Big Balls-style bros on secondment from one of Musk’s companies, and North Korean hackers finding it immediately.

“No women, no problem!”

Maybe they can specifically ban them from the main organisation like the Freemasons or something

My broseph in Christ, what did you think a LLM was?

Arguably the band’s release that had the most cultural impact

The problem is not a hypothetical kill switch (which is unlikely in a fighter aircraft, as there’s no reliable way of having a back door only the good guys can use, and any possibility of enemy hackers pwning your jets is a nightmare scenario). It’s the F35 being designed as the tip of a very long spear, with most of it being in the US. There’s a lot of support infrastructure one requires, and mitigating dependencies on the US would involve replacing that, at considerable expense.

It’s not impossible, though it’s debatable whether it makes more sense than developing your own fighter instead.

Given the likely contents of the files, and the fact that CSAM possession is a strict liability offence, that’s probably not a good idea

RFK Jr. approved

It sucks that Netflix only allowed the first two seasons (when it was just a cute, edgy cartoon about the unreality of Hollywood/LA, rather than a statement on the human condition) to be released on DVD/BluRay. I’d love to have a copy of “The View From Halfway Down” in my library.

There are a lot of people in this picture who believe it’s spelled “should of”

Simon Jenkins, who has argued that Ukraine should surrender land to Russia?

Could you not also control the height of the pattern by having more stitches under the raised parts?

Could an embroidery machine be programmed to set the stitches’ directions as in the picture?

And yet affluent countries have birth rates below the 2.1 required for a steady population, meaning that in a generation’s time, the ratio between pensioners and productive workers will be a lot worse.

If the population is locked in to shrink in a few decades, a country will need immigration to stave off economic collapse. If Switzerland is concerned by large numbers of new immigrants arriving in a short timeframe and changing the culture, the sensible thing to do is to keep a slower, steady influx of immigrants coming in, assimilating and guiding the next ones in.

I have a bottle of Gin Mare bought in Spain with such a stamp on the cap.
