Status symbol. Like how many of them keep buying iPhones just so they can show others they could afford an iPhone. Being expensive and not Chinese is pretty much the exact point.

The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.
“It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.


Oh, I guess the micro sd card slot under the batteries of the doorbell camera is non-functional then, and it saves the videos into your ass, where you pulled that claim from?
Yes. Yes it does store them to the camera.


Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.


In this case a headcount before leaving could kinda have been feasible as the ship only had 120 passengers - often it isn’t simply because modern cruise ships tend to be massive and have way too many passengers to keep track of - but from what I could understand they had an electronic system in place and for some reason she either wasn’t marked as having left, or had somehow been mistakingly marked as returned.
She was noticed as missing when they did do a “headcount”, during the evening dinner.


It’s estimated russia spent $145 billion for the military in 2024, and the budget for 2026 is about the same - 2025 was around that as well. So that 200 billion pays for roughly 15 months of the currently 44 month war.


Gotta keep the investor money flowing.

And fittingly, both of those categories are pretty much a perfectly overlapping venn diagram because they are so overarchingly vague.
Drinking water can kill you, and if it’s too hot, it causes cancer.
Therefore “drinking water” is something that can be found it both lists. And so is “not drinking water”.


It’s also the worlds most addictive chemical, and alarmingly nobody addicted to dihydrogen monoxide has ever been able to overcome that addiction, every dihydrogen monoxide addict dies with a 100% certainty within a few weeks if they stop taking it.


That’s how you end up with Horizon Forbidden West having 3500 credits, because you credit every single employee of every single company and division that even looked at the game for those five seconds.
That also is kinda problematic, because now your contribution is buried in the names of all of your coworkers who didn’t work on the game, so were you then properly credited?

Hmmh, could be, though both are “from the factory”, the winter/summer tires are slightly different sizes. But the allowed error in the EU overall (or at least in Finland) is 10% +4km/h, so it’s still well withing “spec”.


Prince of being the child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Andrew still retains the title “prince,” bestowed on him at birth as the son of the then reigning monarch.


If it didn’t, it would be pretty damn annoying as cars always show higher than actual speed. I’ve had to set our BMW to do +8km/h so that it actually does 120km/h on GPS and not 112.

You can’t really detect “TV signals”, but you can quite easily detect the 10.125 kHz horizontal line-scanning deflection coil of a CRT. Though I’m fairly sure even if they did originally start effective back in the 1950’s because people had very few elecronic devices around, actually detecting anything accurately must have been increasingly difficult as time went on, and a lot of the newer models must have been more about being a scare tactic.


Dammit president Madagascar, you were supposed to shut down everything, not flee.


“I think the workers at ZA/UM all agree that we have something unique at the studio that we want to preserve for years to come.” Marketing manager Poppy Ingham handles social and communications for the studio behind politics-laden RPG Disco Elysium.
The studio behind it technically, yes. They did kick out the main people responsible for Disco Elysium few years back after tons of drama and massive legal kerfuffle though.


“Free trials have a catch! Once the free trial runs out, it isn’t free any more, and it actually starts costing money!”
He has actually been married to only two of them. He just keeps paying money to random women to have his kids.
