The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Just start wearing a “make fascists afraid again” hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)

Sure, I agree

Agreed with the privacy concerns but

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.

It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

Another Brexit success story

the increasing commercialisation pressure leading to the dismantling of cold-war era institutions

Another thing achieved at gunpoint (or rather nuclear-warhead-point).

Also, it’s not prejudicial if I’m judging you on your actual words.

The point I’m making is that it’s naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

That’s why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

lmao.

What an embarrassing thing to say. I’m sure you think you’re very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you’re actually saying for a minute longer.

If it doesn’t become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It’s possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it’s got nothing to do with marketing.

This is it. Absolute minimum two seconds in perfect conditions, four if it’s raining/dark/whatever.

This is totally unrelated but we don’t use that comma after ‘Guess’ in English. I’m reminded of it because I’m learning German and it’s been very difficult for me to remember to put commas after “I think” etc.

It was almost certainly a way to hide “donations” (bribes), from multimillionaires and billionaires, not random maga poor people

What do you mean how would that work? Polar bear habitat is declared national park, inhabitants get assistance moving elsewhere. Extremely expensive? Yes. Complicated? Not really.

I get that people aren’t gonna go for this, but I stand by the position that it would be the ethically correct thing, and we should be honest with ourselves that we are compromising on that.

I wouldn’t say it’s sufficient justification, to be honest. I guess it depends on the population to some degree. But since we caused this problem, I would say moving even a whole village out of polar bear habitat is worth the cost of shooting even one, and we can suppose there will be more to come. I think we have a responsibility to get the hell out of their space, even at a huge cost to us.

Oh hey it’s the CCH. Great venue.

and spent the rest of his life in prison

Hahaha I wish I had your faith

There’s no such thing

That probably captures many such things but it’s not fool proof. I like to make bread with 2-4 different kinds of flour, 4-8 different kinds of seeds, a teaspoon or two of sugar to get the yeast going, sometimes milk or olive oil or another fat source. At it’s most complex it could get pretty close to 20 ingredients but I don’t feel that should be classified as ultra-processed. The kinds of ingredients used and the actual process also matters.
