My concern would be that the police would confiscate my phone. Not that they would necessarily be anything on it, but I don't want them to have my nice expensive phone. They can have this crappy cheap one instead.

I don't think their gyroscopes are good enough for that level of inertial navigation. You could just fling it around tossing it up in the air and down again, that would totally mess with its navigation.

The far greater threat is that you just have the phone taken off you. For that reason alone you should use a burner, but I don't think you should be worried that they can track you based on gyroscope history.

Just go out wearing a MAGA hat. They only have small brains it'll probably confuse them.

Like how insects are always pretending to be wasps so they don't get eaten, see it's scientific.

The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users

Wait aren't they proposing the same thing in the US as well? It's a fairly standard thing of right-wing governments to just demand the impossible with no understanding about it could possibly be achieved.

I would agree normally but it's Lenovo.

And does it even matter anyway?

For the sake of argument let's say that somebody manages to create an AGI, does it reasoning abilities if it works anyway? No one has proven that sapience is required for intelligence, after all we only have a sample size of one, hardly any conclusions can really be drawn from that.

Remember tuning to the right page number and then having the screen flick over right when you arrived so you'd have to sit there for 5 minutes waiting for it to scroll round again? If the internet work like that we'd all have a lot more patience with each other.

Of course part of that is the fact that Western diets don't really involved anywhere near the quantity that the Japanese consume it at.

After all rice pudding was invented to try and use rice up, because no one was eating it.

I had a girlfriend that was utterly convinced that bottled water was healthier for you. Although when pushed she couldn't provide a reason.

Some people do seem to buy into the idea that bottled water is all collected from some kind of secret magical spring of eternal youth. When really it all comes out of a tap in the factory.

I'm pretty sure the average intake for my school was about 1,000 per year.

Some people had very small lockers but most of us had the half height ones. But there were definitely a few where you could barely fit books in unless you put them in at an angle.

We had lockers in high school but they were always in a large open area. Putting them against a wall in a corridor would be stupid as it would almost always lead to blockages.

I also never knew anyone who had a huge locker large enough to be stuffed into, like always seems to happen on American TV.

I never understood how far away Ross was supposed to live from the others. Ostensibly it's in a different building but he's always round at their place so presumably he commuted to see them, unless it's literally just around the corner. So where did he find time to do that?

You do realise that the whole point of the United Nations is so that things like that this don't happen anymore. Of course that presupposes everybody's going to play nicely. Deals with Russia aren't worth the paper written on, vis-a-vis Ukraine.

So how can we not be at war with an entity so fundamentally untrustworthy. You are complaining that the West is at war with Russia (as if the Western democracies are a united front) but that's because Russia is constantly breaking the rules. If they just stayed within their own borders that wouldn't be a problem.

Your problem is that you've already decided who is right and who is wrong and you're not going to allow anything like reality to get in the way of that.

How many components have to be changed all at once for it to be a new ship?

If all but one of the planks is new but one of them is from the original ship is it still the original ship, if not then how many planks from the original ship need to be included in the new ship for it to be the original ship?

Your ignorance is showing.

I mean come on even Argentina has barely done anything provocative lately. Meanwhile Russia has literally carried out assassinations in the UK.

By what metric do you consider this to be an overreaction?

The switch 2 would have better battery life it was powered by the life force of a mayfly.

Yeah once sued. They weren't going to offer it up otherwise, I suspect something similar is going to have to happen to Nintendo.

Ironic because apparently the fan is actually pretty easily replaceable.

The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict

You have to keep an eye out for dev diaries on YouTube. Normally there is some advisement for them.

Yes which is what I'm proposing. But that's not what they're talking about they're talking about a totally separate ID card with no real reason for its existence.
