That's totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning

I feel like this is the first technology news in a looooonnng time that's actually cool instead of horrible

I looked it up and you're 100% right. Incendiary weapons are allowed as long as it doesn't hit civilians or start a forest fire

I'm pinning my hopes on crude oil prices being much lower after the 10-20 years it would take to sort out the territorial disputes and complete construction of rigs that could pump oil in large volume. Oil will still be very valuable in 10-20 years, but i would guess it'll be much less valuable then, and hopefully the price will be low enough to make it not worth the massive outlay cost

Exactly, the nutrition label isn't a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it's literally just the most important "nutrition" information

Ear plugs - not just noise cancelling headphones. It's much easier to sleep with ear plugs than with headphones. And headphones can get uncomfortable after many hours. And if you want extra quietness you can use both the earplugs and headphones at the same time

Absolutely, it's not even remotely a question - the ants would win. Totally and completely.

Mastodon isn't a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

It wasn't just a threat, there was a specific plan and prepared weapons

I would listen to the international experts that i gathered and generally follow their recommendations on how to do that

Immediately stop the war against Ukraine and pull back to the 1990s border, then enlist international experts to improve the country and peacefully integrate with the global community

A couple of things.

"Drone" doesn't mean anything about speed. A drone is no faster or slower than than any other weapon with the same propulsion system.

And "shot down" doesn't mean bullets. Air defense systems generally use extremely fast missiles.

How could step one or two have been anything besides authorities turning the whole store inside out looking for the scissors? The most likely scenario by far obviously was that the employee simply misplaced it

On the one hand that's super cool, on the other hand seeing all those corporate logos over a classic art inspired painting is super gross

He potentially could've caused LOST votes if she took him in. He is very unpopular.

The are plenty of situations where anyone could tell the difference, such as low lighting conditions. In low light an old phone will make a photo that's just a brown blur, while a new phone will be a sharp clear photo of the scene.

But if you're happy with what you have then í wouldn't want to talk you into buying something else. The old iPhone se is a imo a much better design than newer iPhones
