There are about a hundred of these that sometimes hang out in the shrubbery in front of my place. They make a delightful racket. Also adorable when they visit the local restaurant patios hoping for dropped crumbs 🤎

Tons of young male characters are voiced by women. I’m curious which anime you’re referring to though.

Zoom lenses are great, unfortunately most phones only have wide angle lenses.

There’s literally been corrupt sheriff’s caught ordering military hardware like a 50cal machine gun designed to be fitted on a helicopter…

I think this is (a particularly stark example of) the core problem here. The people who are supposed to be the ones protecting the rest of us from these right wing nutjobs are, well…right wing nutjobs.

Heh, fair enough. Riding is more fun than wrenching.

For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪

Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.

I’m so not sold on this AI stuff. It just seems like a fancy new way to create problems.

Madness. I’m far too lazy for that.

I’d love to ride a bike [with good brakes] down it.

After the Korean war, the North was initially much better off, economically. They have most of the natural resources, iirc. Most of this stuff was probably built before the American sanctions regime eroded their economy.

‘Something went tragically wrong’, Netanyahu says

How many times has he made this claim, and how the hell does he say it with a straight face?

Exactly, which makes the whole endeavour more of a guessing game than a science.

We can’t even measure calories accurately, never mind predicting how much your specific body will actually absorb. Maybe we could be more accurate with vitamins and stuff, but I dunno.

And comments like this show the damage done by such whitewashed reporting. The most documented genocide in history is happening before our eyes and Canadians “don’t have a dog in this fight.”

Note that ‘authoritarian’ tendencies only need to become visible when the people broadly turn against the ruling class. It’s like Ford’s “any colour you want, as long as it’s black.” Sounds like freedom until you start demanding a red one.

The tldr says 2013, but the full article calls it “the first such death in the province since 1989, when tracking began.”

… It did not indicate when the child died or their specific age.

So we just know they were somewhere between 0 and 5.

It’s like a dog whistle. It’s not in writing, but the cops know what they’re supposed to do, and will be happy to oblige.

I don’t recall being warned away from facebook, google, etc. when it was revealed that all of the data they collect is accessible by the US government. China is supposed to be an adversary or whatever but the US has a much greater track record of meddling in affairs outside their borders…kinda feels like this is just ideology on display.

(Not a tiktok user, if it matters)

It’s not just remote places that can get evacuated.

I don’t live in the north, don’t own a car, and don’t worry about it, but if something catastrophic were to happen here, I hope there would be options for the many non-car-having people.
