I think we kinda misunderstand what the other person is saying/what they imagine the outcome to be. There’s a crass culture difference here.

In the UK (and presumably most other European countries) the police would 100% escalate things if they see someone with a gun near a large aggregation of people. Carrying guns like that is simply illegal and the only reasonable deduction is that you carry a gun because you want to use it - i.e. you are about to commit murder.

Police violence against protesters is usually limited to water cannons and tear gas, maybe rubber bullets. Protester violence is rare, sometimes throwing rocks, maybe Molotov removedtails and burning cars.

By and large guns don’t provide security.

There are a lot more creative ways to protest violently though!

No, because you can’t mathematically guarantee that pi contains long strings of predetermined patterns.

The 1.101001000100001… example by the other user was just that - an example. Their number is infinite, but never contains a 2. Pi is also infinite, but does it contain the number e to 100 digits of precision? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is, we don’t know and we can’t prove it either way (except finding it by accident).

Maybe the builder just mounted the panel the wrong way? It serves as a wall for the platform behind it.

C is so old, it has a way to work around that! In case your 198x keyboard was not set to ASCII you know. Not sure if Morse covers all the characters needed for the replacement trigraphs though.

The election system distorts the vote quite dramatically in the US, that’s true.

However, depending on where you’re from left has quite a different meaning from what Americans mean when they say left. E.g. the Democrats don’t want to dismantle capitalism or expropriate real estate companies (the city of Berlin seriously looked into this option). Center left has a similar shift in meaning in other countries.

I have compact view. I tap on a thumbnail to make the image “full screen”. In short succession I tap on the screen once, then touch and drag, which zooms the image.

Since I have it set to dismiss/leave “full screen” via of images by swiping the image up or down I need the tap before dragging to zoom into the image.

It still works the same.

It’s funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

Idealism in all honor, but you’re not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

As though badges grow on trees

True, if there is no police it’s not like cops just appear.

The mafia does.

Interesting that there is a fine difference between humanitarian aid and humanitarian assistance. I doubt many journalist are this strict about their wording, but good to know nonetheless.

Social welfare provides the exact same things (housing, food, medicine) but instead of some disaster zone somewhere it’s for disadvantaged citizens in your own country. Of course, the logistics are massively different, as well as the timeframe during which the services are provided. But it’s still basically the same thing: help other humans with fundamental necessities.

So I would disagree with your claim that it “isn’t the same thing at all”. It differs in some details, but the central service and fundamental reasoning is the same.

Additionally, this is total military spending vs foreign humanitarian support. So giving food to children in Gaza counts, but feeding the homeless in your own country does not.

I still agree with the conclusion, but the headline is kinda rage bait.

I am watching a lot of YouTube. Premium would cost 13€/month, or 130€ if paid yearly. I use an ad blocker and don’t want any of the extra features that are provided to premium users. So until they manage to make unblockable ads, 130€/year could very reasonably be considered profit for the act of selling my data.

Lmao! This map is unreasonably funny.

The wheels are apparently really really loud when they are mounted like this. You just can make good enough ball bearings of this size at any reasonable cost and weight

Meddl Loide!

So it stops once someone doesn’t finish?

Alternatively the y axis could be “blog posts not about …”

Ah, gotcha.

Is there like a list where you can enter your server so that other people use it as an ntp server? Or how did you advertise it to have 2800 requests flooding in?
