I'm still using it. I've got nice headphones and speakers that run off of a cable and no interest in top-end phones, so it makes sense to get a phone that fits the more expensive audio stuff rather than a bunch of adapters. Nokia's cheaper smartphones have served me quite nicely

I don't think anyone is saying anything happened overnight. We're talking a fifty-sixty year delay on the events mentioned above. But also, I would want to see some evidence that Africans on average weren't aware of the legacy of colonialism up until the 2010s, because that seems like an unreasonably low estimation of education on the continent.

Besides that, Russia and China also saw declines throughout the 2010s from peaks in 2009/2010. That would suggest to me that something in the 2010s made Africans on average less approving of the world's major powers in general

America was up above 80% in 2009/2010, so this change can't be because either of those

The popularity of the new Fallout show tells me that it's definitely time to revive the Chrysler TV-8 concept

To be fair to OP, it's "I don't like this specific kind of humour". Which is a pretty normal thing to feel. There are a lot of comedy TV shows I don't find funny or find downright unpleasant, but that doesn't mean I don't like humour in general. Much as this overly-serious comment suggests otherwise.

Poland is one of the larger NATO militaries and would probably be leading the early parts of a NATO-Russia war. Poland will absolutely be targeted either way in the event of a nuclear war

It was originally a Hebrew male name

Invite me to the jam, I swear I can whistle well

There is a Convention on Cluster Munitions but many of the world's largest military powers are not signatories to it, including all of the top five by expenditure in America, China, Russia, India, and Saudi Arabia. Ukraine is also not a signatory.

Doesn't Bilbo make actual coffee for the dwarves at the start of the Hobbit?

I finished Tunic yesterday! I had a great time with it. Extremely vague and minor spoilers after this, I can't get the spoiler tags to work so I've just taken out the detail. ::: The golden path puzzle in page 9 nearly beat me, but man what a cool discovery it was to figure it out. :::

The EU has cut its imports of Russian gas down from nearly half of the total supply to about 15% since the war started, so that's not nearly the threat it once was

The thing is, he wouldn't do it openly. He'd pass the names to an assistant who would make some anonymous posts online and let it go from there. Sure, maybe that can be proven in another trial, but that's too far away to help the witnesses or to avoid slowing this case

It seems odd to me that this article is framing octopodes as a surprising inclusion. Aren't they generally known to be some of the most intelligent animals of all?

Would this work against HESH rounds? A lot of British and Canadian equipment that has been sent to Ukraine uses those

I mean, I can't imagine it's that effective if it does work at all. But it might be the kernel of an idea that someone latched on to

I would hope that the bar is higher than a statistically representative random sample of the entire population

Mate I'm not telling you off for wanting to stretch, just puzzled about why you don't do it earlier on when you start feeling cramped

You're allowed to get up during the flight though

While we don't have another total one in the UK until 2090, we've got a near-total one in August 2026. About 90-95% depend on where in the country you are, with Cornwall getting the best of it again. Spain and Iceland get the totality of it, so you could take a short trip to some pretty nice places and catch it along the way
