GPT-3 post? This rabbles with no direction and feels like something AI would write. There's also an odd jump at the end like it's trying to talk about gaming/MtG but doesn't at the same time.

Tell me you don't understand memes without telling me you don't understand memes.

Memes != Jokes. A meme is a repeated and iterated phenomenon be it a picture, phrase, video, image or thought. Just because it isn't funny (to you) doesn't make it a meme, just because you find it funny doesn't make it a meme. To graduate from thing to meme needs repetition, iteration and spread.

Sarcasm? While I don't read German, this is actually a pretty good design for a news site. It's clean, consistent and uncluttered. It loads quickly and doesn't have any obnoxious animations or advertising. The font choice is clean and well spaced, but let down by poor definition of link vs title/theme colour.

It's clearly a massive improvment on the last design: https://web.archive.org/web/20210101011826/https://www.tages...

>Now a long approach of gradual decriminalization and legalization may work, with the ability to operate legally the need to utilize violence decreases over time as it's generally bad for business.

For the record I'm pro-legalization, but just flipping the status quo overnight isn't going to fly here.

Saying "just legalize all drugs" doesn't solve the problem, someone still has to make the drugs, can we just give all traffickers amnesty for past crimes and make their operations legal? Maybe? But it's not something to hand-wave away.

I don't have the answer but flippant comments about how easy it is to dismantle cartels, is offensive to anyone who has fought to do such and likely a disservice to the intelligence of people running them.

This is absolutely not going to be the case. Assuming both the US and Mexico simultaneous legalized all drugs, what happens to all the illegal jobs the cartels currently have?

Their people, money and weapons don't vanish and what we see when cartels take a hit income is violence increases and the cartels look to other methods of making income using they're existing tools. Protection rackets and kidnappings are already used as supplemental income, these would only increase.

Now a long approach of gradual decriminalization and legalization may work, with the ability to operate legally the need to utilize violence decreases over time as it's generally bad for business.

I'd disagree that the military issues are subjective, as of 0.44.x dwarves still put on a random assortment of what you assign them, normally missing something important like a right gauntlet or a shield.

Have you tried typing on a Kindle keyboard? As a Kindle DX user, it has always been a terrible experience and now the letters have rubbed off so it's even worse - the symbol and and number keys are accessed via a 'SYM' control key.

All I got form that was "we cloned Uber, then didn't do due process when selecting a payment gateway".

A surface isn't a tablet, it's a laptop with a touch screen. I've tried them and they are really nice as laptop but they fallback to a finger hostile UI way to often to be called tablets.

Err, no it's not: Individuals with exploding head syndrome hear or experience loud imagined noises as they are falling asleep or waking up.

I experience GP's comment as well and it's from real sounds.

>This is fine with most customers who prefer buying the same jeans for $60 and wait to paying twice as much and having them instantly.

This probably hits closest core of this issue. It's not 10% cheaper to buy overseas it's 15%+ cheaper to buy from overseas. I truly hope this policy is managed correctly and we don't spend more than we recover just to make Gerry Harvey happy.

Pretty cool. But I'll eat my hat if a regular webcam can pick up enough detail in regular lighting to do this. Plus 90% of the time the webcam will capture a users chest and the wall behind them, hardly useful for visual microphones.

Source? I'd hazard a guess that it's likely only marginally more accurate than lip reading?

This, unless you are going to open up every device around you and physically isolate all audio recording equipment, I fail to see how covering your webcam is much more than security theatre?

Interesting that's likely a location thing. Also I'd question < 10mph over isn't speeding, assuming even a 60mph speed limit you're allowing drivers to travel at over 10% faster than posted.

Depending again on location, there's almost definitely laws on indicating turns which I'd say is probably the one I see ignored the most (to cut off the 'I see bicycles not indicating' line, most places have a 'when safe to do so' clause for bicycles).

Seriously? This is easily the worst argument against bicycles I see bought up again and again. Next time you're driving count how many people you see breaking the law be it bicycle, pedestrian or motor vehicle. Now count how many you see receiving fines/being talked to by the police.

But let's go ahead and agree with you and add number plates to bicycles - ignoring the huge costs incurred by the state - how exactly does that help enforce any laws? Bicycles are to small and light to trigger most red light cameras and to slow for speed cameras. So you're only left with visual enforcement by an officer of the law, which will have to physically stop the offender to issue any fines... which... o, hey... you don't need a number plate for that.

For a sprained ankle you likely want a NSAID like ibuprofen...

Car ads aren't fake already? Half the ads I see feature CG cars driving an endless blank whiteness or through similarly impossible landscapes.

This looks like a sweet way to shoot car scenes for movies, I wonder if it can take a roll-cage/extra safety features.

No is the answer to your second question, other first world nation's governments pay for the drugs and bear the cost burden.

I only see the option to toggle the quality.

5 seconds seems to short unless paired with page/mouse position, I regularly notice that videos will start playing when they are 2/3rds on the page and I'm read or looking at a picture above it only to scroll right past the video as soon as I register it's of no interest to me.

It's intended use is for data entry, it's meant to be a prompt for "Hey there's unsaved changes on your 'Super Important Document' are you sure you want to to leave?"

Defamation law suits are important for curtailing shock-jock journalism, without them journalists are ultimately free to lie about someone and report it as fact.

Not sure about the rest of the world but all* Australian supermarkets have a socks and undies section where you can pick up a 3 pack of black (or white) socks for about $9AUD.

*All in this case being the two major companies.

Dead link... someone cleaning up for you?

Early contender for troll comment of the year?

Why is it a great alternative?

Interesting being Australian I don't have a 5th amendment to protect me. Also my understanding is that at least in Australia you'd likely be charged with obstruction of some sort, does that not fly in the US?

I don't know about that but I'd be fairly certain a court would just order you to unlock the phone regardless of whether it's your finger locking it or a password.

I'm referring mainly to the authors of these works likely having something lying on a hard drive sitting on a shelf or backed up on 'C: Back up 2012-06-21 4 of 7'. These are much like those piles of old letters found in Grandma's attic, mostly unintelligible (I certainly can't read the cursive scrawls) but still ultimately not 'lost' if someone is prepared to spend the time recovering them.
