Somebody saying “I am a mermaid” would be looked at strangely too.

No shit!

TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

Saved people a click to X.

So are they really mammals?

And national service unless you leave the country long enough to age out.

400 chargers. Wow!

The UK installed "388 slow, 756 fast, and 114 rapid and 236 ultra-rapid" chargers last month. Granted, that’s across all networks, but 400 shouldn’t be worthy of mention for a country the size of the US.

Noob

So this was going to happen anyway?

Sounds like it, so it’ll be part of the already planned spending.

I hope there’s more reasons than just getting objective advice. £⅔B is a lot of money.

So in your head, people are rich because they throw away their money?

Nothing says “cheap” more than clothes which are pretending to be expensive. If you’re going to dress up, wear your better clothes that are in your normal style.

Personally I wouldn’t bother. Just wear what you normally wear. Not everyone is interested in clothes even if they have money.

If I take a sabbatical from my career and go work for a charity, I’m still taking a year off from my original job. What you do with the time is irrelevant to the language used.

Should people get parental leave? … absolutely. Is it “time off” from your job? … Yes. Are they taking a holiday? … No.

The animation is smoother but actions have a longer response time. Depending on the game that could be negative to your perception of “speed”.

If 20mph zones were limited to specific areas I think they’d be better received. Richmond borough has made 20mph the default speed limit with exceptions for the top tier major roads (those with A numbers plus possibly a couple more).

It’s not even like it’s a borough with good (for London) public transport. Everything is busses.

No, the games runs at the same rate or slightly slower. The driver adds extra frames which the game knows nothing about.

Do gamers actually want technologies like these? Upscaling makes sense to me, but frame generation just seems like it would increase lag and give visual information that isn’t reliable.

Oh you missed because your enemy wasn’t where the AI predicted he would be.

Hard disagree. We can all survive without data centres. The transition from having them, to not having them is chaotic (as crowdstrike showed), but I think 99% of us would benefit from our financial / credit records being wiped out.

Federal regulators are conspicuously absent in stopping this live experimentation on public roads with live humans.

Why has this been allowed for so long?

Part of it might be that I’m often having similar arguments with the team I run about introducing dependencies.

Engineers have a tendency to want to use the perfect tool for a job at the expense of other concerns. It could be ease of maintenance, availability of the skill-set, user experience, or whatever. If there’s pushback it’s normally that they are putting their own priorities above other people’s equally valid concerns.

Often I’m telling people to step-back. Stop pushing, listen to the resistance and learn from it. Maybe I’m on a bit of a crusade when I see similar situations in open-source.

That’s where I assumed it was going.

Unlikely. You probably will injest the poison and die, and depending on if the poison also acts as a venom they may / may not.

It’s probably more accurate to say "Venoms are injected. Poisons are injested. "
