Just to be clear, asking people to confirm they agree to Israel’s right to exist is not the same as pledging loyalty. I don’t know if it’s a translation error or a deliberate attempt to make the point seem worse.
It’s radical to me that someone things tying people’s naturalisation to a foreign policy position is a good idea, is seems a pretty shitty one, but they aren’t asking for a blood oath.
Given your attitudes to scientific study outcomes, I recommend perhaps you’d do better in a regressive society where science won’t bother you or prompt changes to behaviours you don’t want to change.
Well the problem here is that phones are an addictive substance in a sense; they diminish capacity and create a near inescapable dopamine cycle for a developing mind.
Your comment might as well read “Education with Cocaine and Speed, and about them is important, not forcing everyone to behave like the stuff doesn’t exist…”
I think that’s likely the route that Tesla would take, sue that the rules as stated aren’t capable of accommodating Force Majeure or other similar disruptions. But it will take time; and I don’t imagine that they’ll need to, eventually there will be some change to allow other delivery routes. I don’t think this was done on purpose; rather that the restrictions were placed reasonably and this hadn’t come up as no other automaker in the country had deliberately antagonised its workers to this extent.
This is the problem with Tesla wanting to operate the same way in every country, if you don’t cede that countries are unique bodies of law, regulations, and social practices, you can’t then complain when you fall afoul of that combination.
They can try suing but the postal service hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s not their fault that the government department in charge of issuing plates has made it a requirement for their outsourcing partners to use the national postal service to deliver plates.
To be clear, this isn’t an action, this is by default an inaction of a group in solidarity that’s having an unintended (and subjectively a somewhat funny side effect); but it’s the registry’s rules that are causing the impasse.
Well I think the problem is the car isn’t registered until a plate is affixed and it’s likely, from the impact this is having, that consumer law prevents the delivery of an unregistered vehicle.
To my knowledge, there is a similar requirement in the UK for Auto sales, the registration isn’t complete until a plate is affixed. (There was a blip in this process circa early-2018 IIRC, and it led to Fiat having issues fulfilling car sales to their retail partners, don’t recall the specifics but I bought a new Fiat then, and there was some chatter from the forecourt that it was good it was cleared up).
Well I don’t speak for everyone in the UK but we are Europeans, just not in the European Union. Nobody would say that the Swiss aren’t European just for not having EU citizenship.
That said the headline is itself lazy and hubristic; to call ALL Europeans these things is simply wrong, the breadth of economic and societal difference between the East and West, the North and South, make such generalisations completely pointless.

That’s a great analogy and helps me understand your argument much better. There is something I think you’ve missed though, which is that advertisers pay to be in the publication, and they pay at the point the print occurs. Rendering in your browser is the analog to hitting the print button, not putting it on a server to be pulled down. In your analogy, the advertiser has paid already before you consume the magazine; but for YouTube the advertisers don’t pay as their adverts are never compiled into the magazine. If you want to write a browser that still calls the ads api and plays the video in the background so YouTube gets the ad revenue but you have “cut it out” then I don’t imagine google would care half as much.
I am sorry but that argument simply doesn’t make an awful lot of sense to me. Unless I am missing a facet, you are saying that your autonomy outstrips their rights? If we were to make an analogue version of that argument would your autonomy to use your hands how you see fit, allow for you to walk into a shop and take something without paying? It seems like, unless I’ve missed something, that’s the analogy.
Commerce and indeed society has always been a balance of personal autonomy and rules, with YouTube you’re going to a website and circumventing their chosen rules. I might not agree with YouTube’s methods, but I don’t think I can get behind the argument they are impinging on your technical rights any more than Tesco does if you try to half-inch a chocolate bar.
I may want to recall something and not want to tie up my phone line with screeching.
Honestly, I get your point, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a property of the scale, rather your increased familiarity with it. When someone says 68F I don’t have a mechanism to understand that, it’s not part of my experience. Saying 68% of too hot doesn’t help much at all. Whereas I can tell you exactly what I 40C feels like; and how that compares to anything from -15C to 45C, because of my familiarity with the scale.
I’m employed in Film and currently “stood down” while our actors are on strike. On one hand it’s great to have time to hit some of the games I’ve been hoarding, on the other, I may be playing them in a cardboard box come February.
Blame is too laden a word here.
TL;DR: CDPR have opted to shutter their in-house engine, Red Engine (which CP2077 was built on) in favour of a partnership with Unreal. Most of their devs have now switched to Unreal; with only those left on the upcoming CP2077 release still using Red Engine 4.
They have opted to no longer work at all on the Red Engine projects; ergo they either port CP to Unreal (an incomprehensibly large task given that Unreal doesn’t support many features that Red does, or at least not in the way Red does - not a slight on Unreal, simple reality of different engines, especially internal vs external tooling), or cease further development of CP. They opted for the latter.
Yes, 35, UK. Drive an automatic now, but drove Manual until last year.
The wealth that comes from ill-spent teens, I suppose.
Sounds a lot like the VR Missions and VR Missions Expansion for Metal Gear Solid.
It excelled as a pass and play game, not too many of those about these days. Good for an evening of exploring spooky shit with a friend.
How about my smart watch? Or […] smart fridge?
Well it worked for Skyrim? They released that for my niece’s speak and spell.
I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.
It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.
