There are no rules about the groups being equal.

So I'd say 20, 1, 1, 18
would be as correct as 20, 6, 6, 8

I imagine the shop would have to eventually trade the Pokemon cards for cash in order to be able to pay whatever tax they need to the taxman.

A shop owner can choose what payment they accept. If you want to pay for a pack of gum with a 50 note, its perfectly legal to turn you down. Likewise for all other banknotes, its a matter of discretion. If your local corner shop decided to only accept payments in Pokmon cards that would be within their right too. But theyd probably lose customers.

Are you not using Following instead of For You? None of the stuff I follow is pornographic, though there are more porn bots in comments these days.

I only follow tech and gaming accounts. I do read 'Following' but I like to dip into 'For You' for the entertaining wildcard stuff.

You're right that it's 'For You' that's overun with porn. Two months ago I didn't have this issue. There must have been a recent change - and it isn't my browsing habits!

What was the overall strategy behind freeing 4 hostages, while over 100 remain?

Did it improve the likelihood that they will all be released without some kind of ceasefire deal? Does it improve the conditions of confinement for the remaining hostages while they await their fate? Does it make it more likely that the living hostages will come out alive?

How are self-control and restraint different?

I meant it this way:

Self-Control is the ability to control yourself, in particular your emotions, desires and behaviour, especially in difficult situations.

Restraint is taking actions to avoid situations where you might require self-control.


So Restraint would be not going to the strip club with the boys.

Self-control would be going to the strip club with the boys and just watching the sports at the bar.

Nope.

I'll talk to my friends or acquaintances about things I particularly liked or disliked but that's about it. Occasionally I'll mention it in a post here or something but who actually reads those?

Interestingly, Google tells you how many times your reviews have been viewed and also how many times people gave it a thumbs up. Most of my 5-star reviews are obscure places, but even some of them have thousands of views.

And do you only review when something is very bad?

I've done a few Google reviews. Looking back it seems I like to only give 5-star or 1-star ratings.

5-star usually goes to small businesses I'd like to help, who gave me exceptional service. 1-star usually goes to big businesses that should know better.

I'll usually include a few paragraphs of description too.

What about you lot?

I'd rather get a 4k 120hz TV for several hundred dollars less than a smaller 4k 120 monitor than be paranoid about tracking

The reason TVs seem cheap is because they're subsidised by all the tracking crap that's pre-installed on them.

I'd rather not pay for the privilege of being the product.

Rules:

  • Each War consists of 7 Battles, in a best of 7 format
  • Each Battle is 1 national animal vs 1 national animal
  • Fresh animals are used for each Battle
  • Where countries have more than one national animal, they can select any from their roster and can change each Battle.
  • The Battles take place in a huge circular arena which has a round pool in its centre. The arena is covered by an electrified mesh dome.
  • The dome shrinks in size over time, forcing the animals unavoidably together after a maximum of 120 minutes.
  • Each Battle is to the death. No food or medical treatment allowed.


Which wars are the most interesting, and who likely becomes world ruler eventually?

Just look at what the IDF did.
At night, they placed a drone near a refugee camp and made it play a clip of a woman or child screaming for help.
When people came to help, the drone shot them.

To play sound that loud the drone would have to be carrying some seriously heavy speakers as well as weapons. Where did you get this story from?

I just treated myself to an 'ergonomic office chair' rather than a gaming chair.

Why not get a gaming chair? After research it felt like the 'gaming chair' tag added nothing apart from maybe 15%-25% price hike for an office chair with the same features.

I wish though I had got a chair which had those foot rest things you could pop out from underneath. Mine doesn't have these.

I'm not talking about the huge ones that look like small planes or rockets. I'm talking about the smaller ones that look like you could buy them from a toy store.

These kinds of things are terrifying to me:

  • Kamikaze drones
  • Drone swarms
  • Autonomous drones
  • AI-assisted targeting drones
  • Air, land and sea drones
There will be no escape. And unless your technology is on par with the enemy's, you won't be able to defend yourself.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/21/health/microplastics-testicles-study-wellness/index.html

Human testicles contain microplastics and nanoplastics at levels three times higher than animal testes and human placentas, a new small study found.

They look like little shards, tiny broken bits from very, very old plastics, said Campen, a regents professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

The levels of microplastic shards and types of plastics in human testes were three times greater than those found in dogs, and the dogs are eating off the floor, Campen said. So it really puts in perspective of what were putting in our own bodies.


That's it. I'm switching to eating dog food from now on.
