The dude making the challenge is just as nuts. I am a Left person and it's astonishing how alienated I feel by Labour.

This is honestly one of the only instances where I am like "you're an idiot for reporting this". The amount of reach, provided the feeds can indeed be overriden, is absolutely insane. Paired with how shitty of an org FIFA is, I personally would have just leaked this.

I have never flown with them only because they're the only airline I have come across that forces you to create an account to buy a ticket.

> Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns.

You know what else is a security concern? Ads. The amount of mental gymnastics is insane. It's honestly insulting.

I don't know about that, nothing about their pitch indicated anything but what their technology is currently used for.

It's ironic seeing this here since Flock is YCombinator company.

If this the same Ben in YouTube then omg was he annoying. I couldn't even get throught the first quarter of the video.

The dude shows up at a store. They ask him to leave multiple times. They call on the police on him. Then he says "the police are in on it" because they trespassed him. Like wow shocking that the police won't get involved in a civil matter. Then they manipulate a store employee that had nothing to do with this? That's where I stopped watching.

This is a basic contract case. If the original owner's son had no intention of suing the other party then why did he draft up a contract in the first place? Just get a fucking lawyer.

Because the author is the one breaking the law, the right lane is for passing, not for cruising.

> Google

It's not Google, it's someone. A person came up with this idea and is pushing it through. We should stop treating corporations as some abstract entity instead of a group of sick people making these kinds of decisions.

Even if you go around the parked car, you still risk getting doored on the other side.

The Pro version has a better screen (still segmented but more), RGB LEDs and an infrared sensor.

New comment by curiousgal in "Finnish sauna heat exposure induces stronger immune cell than cytokine responses"

curiousgal — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:14:16 +0000

I don't know about that. As in yes I agree but that seems to apply to Western countries in general. For example in Tunisia, people go to public baths at least once a week and part of that involves sitting in a hot steamy room for 30+ minutes. So here you have an example for a population that does use sauna (in a way) but aren't relying on self-reporting.

So you can find new way to terrorise the world? Right attitude but wrong application.

We're missing the other obvious problem, most of the content there is AI generated anyway. I personally posted a fake story generated by Chatgpt and even posted screenshots of that at the start of the post and yet, the post ended up on the frontpage...

> our civilization relies upon workers to shoulder the burden everyday.

Our civilization? Nah. Just that one shithole country. Greatest country in the world and they schedule a single guy to work both tower and ground frequencies at a major airport, it's almost like they're asking for this shit to happen.

And before anyone mentions understaffing, this literally one of the plethora of problems that the rest of the world figured out while the U.S. continues to act special.

Not to gatekeep things but if you think uv solved python dependency issues then you probably never had those issues in the first place and pip would have been enough for your use case. Conda on the other hand, with external binary dependencies, now we're talking.
