So you are saying they are combining nationalist and socialist ideas? Do they classify themselves as a workers party?

Might have heard something like that before somewhere, just can’t put my finger on it.

What the current government is doing on immigration has been judged (officially, by a proper court) as unlawful. They keep doing it anyway, escalating further up the court levels. This is already very close to a constitutional crisis due to the executive blatantly disregarding the judiciary.

What else would you want them to do beyond that? Just give up on the rule of law in general and while we are at it rip up all applicable European contracts?

Gender swapped, but still appropriate for the topic:

Maybe we could at least nudge the LLMs in the direction of suggesting appropriate tools and giving hints how to actually do that when applicable instead of blindly brute forcing every task. Of course that does not solve the issue of stupid corporate incentives, but I feel like by now most companies have realized that burning as much money as possible is not a good goal.

On top of the weight gain, my hair is turning gray and receding, and I’m growing large quantities of unsightly hair everywhere else.

Hair growing in unwanted places can just be shaved off. Laser removal might be an option, too.

Receding hairlines are pretty much preventable these days, the earlier you start the better (I learned about that a few years too late). If you care enough to do something about it, start with Finasteride ASAP. If you want to do more, add Minoxidil. If you want to do even more, treat the hair issue as a skin issue and act accordingly, i.e. read up on anti aging skincare and apply that to your scalp (spoiler: sunscreen is king, everything else is detail optimization).

About the graying: That is not necessarily bad, gray hair worn with confidence can be very attractive.

Did you find a way to see how many of those credits you already used? To me it looks like they have completely removed access to that information from individual devs and only admins can manually generate reports containing it.

Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.

True, but that is not the only thing they are useful for; e.g. many high end measurement instruments ship with FPGAs so they can get improvements after release for functionality where implementing it in software would be too slow.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Let me first reiterate that none of what I wrote was intended as shaming or attacking people who do not like partying.

I strongly disagree with “Seems like I’m the issue”. Seems to me more like you have very good reasons to dislike all parties you could realistically attend currently, and to generalize from that to not liking parties in general is only natural.

I did not want to convince anyone they are wrong; just to share my perspective that not all parties are the same, and they can be fun even for people who think they don’t like them in general if done right.

If you don’t like partying, either you just don’t like people and music (which is fine, no shaming intended), or you have only ever been to bad parties.

A good party has:

• people who like each other and are all there to enjoy each others company (and they don’t need an excuse like watching sports to do that)
• good music
• a space where you can dance if you feel like it
• a space where the music is silent enough to have interesting conversations
• maybe a motto and costumes, some made with minimal effort, some self-made as an outlet for creative energy, maybe even some superficial roleplaying to go along with it
• maybe some other activity you can do together like table football or table tennis or twister or …

Maybe I am getting paranoid, but this does read like it was generated at least with the help of an LLM, if not fully written by one.

PS/Edit: What does it say about us as humans if we associate well structured and thought out responses that are internally consistent and don’t contain any obvious errors with “not human”?

Lidl has one called “NO MILK” that I personally don’t like because it tastes too much like cow’s milk, but it is an excellent choice for people just starting their oat milk journey.

Not really an answer to you, just writing it here in case anyone else interested is still reading along:

I looked up some numbers and apart from the practical challenges of making a battery “go boom” in a controlled way it seems like the energy density to even make this a hypothetical option just isn’t there. Even the best LiPo batteries don’t quite reach 1 MJ/kg while gunpowder has ~3 MJ/kg, and numbers only go up from there for more modern chemical explosives.

Notably absent… the explosives.

https://xkcd.com/651/

Not my area of expertise, so please tell me if the idea is complete garbage. With that being said: Theoretically, could the LiPo Battery that’s already in there anyway be turned into an explosive payload by intentionally overheating and puncturing it on impact?

… doing them wrong falling for a scam.

In some people it causes the body to releases enough internal happy drugs that it is worth the discomfort.

The EU is also not a military force in its own right

The European Treaties contain a common defence clause. Some even argue the wording is stronger than NATO article 5.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/collective-defence.html

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en/document/EPRS_ATA(2022)739250

Of course that does not magically turn the EU into a single, efficient military organization; but it is certainly worth considering in the grand scheme of things.

https://matrix.org/ has been around for years and has had true self-hosting and federation from the start.

Many people do, but there are legitimate concerns about

1. if an invasion could even actually achieve this,
2. the humanitarian cost of it (aka A LOT of innocent people dying or losing everything),
3. the long term effects of destabilizing a whole region and
4. the damage to the rules based global order caused by yet another war of aggression from a side that is supposed to support and not undermine that order.

Cambridge Analytica was not enough of a reason to leave Facebook for me, because at that point I had already stopped actively using the site a long time ago and deleting my effectively inactive account seemed like a lot of effort for very little practical purpose.

This article (or just the headline to be honest) was finally enough to push me to actually go through with logging in one last time to finally get rid of it.
