“Many of you will die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make!”

Agreed, though I think that he doesn’t quite fit the definition of “celebrity” considering he did two terms as a state governor.

No numbers for “A celebrity’s position on a politicial issue has positively affected my opinion of him/her”?

And IMO, considering all the other groups that are trying to sway voters and how close elections tend to be (and how polarized politics are in the US), these numbers aren’t that bad. And the way advertising/propaganda works, they don’t necessarily have to sway people in a way that the people directly notice - it’s often enough to keep repeating a point to keep it in people’s consciousness.

Neat, maybe they’ll extend it to other groups in the future once the infrastructure exists - many illnesses aren’t “terminal” but untreatable and extremely limiting and/or painful.

At 13, they are both basically and literally teenagers, which comes with the legal consequence of being liable for criminal actions.

Good find! And yeah, the referral order sentence seems to be rather obviously aimed at rehabilitation instead of punishing, would be weird if that was combined with a lifelong criminal record that is visible to potential employers and the like.

Teenagers are minors, but not children, my guy.

“child, 13” - a 13yo is a teenager, not a child.

That article was a pain in the ass to read, horribly structured.

What she did: “The court heard the girl was taken to the protest outside the Potters International Hotel, which houses asylum seekers, by a parent of a friend. Police body-worn video showed the teenager briefly bang and kick at a door of the hotel while voices could be heard telling her to stop.”

Her sentence, a “12-month referral order”: “A referral order means you are required to attend a youth offender panel. The panel, you, your parents/carers and the victim (where appropriate) agree a contract aimed at repairing the harm that has been caused and addressing the causes of the offending behaviours.” (https://unlock.org.uk/advice/referral-order-18/)

The conviction seems to be on permanent record, though, which does seem a bit much for this considering her age.

I made a shell script titled “update”, it updates system packages, flatpaks and python packages. Too many lines for an alias for my tastes.

The only thing that’s stupid about this IMO is that Skywalker is supposed to be a last name, not a first/given name.

He says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

He [the father] says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

Sounds like that office doesn’t know how their own rules work.

Vivec?

Don’t most people have Whatsapp? It’s certainly harder to spy on the content of your messages, it’s just a matter of how much issue you have with giving Meta your metadata.

The fact that most of my PC builds are generally midrange builds (i.e. about that $700 price if I reuse the case and PSU and GPU prices aren’t surging), and that midrange-build-GPU is only barely usable for AAA for one full generation. It might go for longer with games that are as well-optimized as a Doom game, but that’s not the norm.

The $700 build is definitely not keeping up with AAA games for two full console generations.

That’s cool, but most people want to keep playing current AAA games.

Do you need a new keyboard and mouse though? Even laptop users usually already have a mouse, and keyboards tend to have good longevity - mine is over 10 years old.

Many people already have a laptop and want to build a PC specifically for gaming, though. Upgrading isn’t all it’s cracked up to be IMO, it’s definitely nice to have but a console lasts the entire console generation (5 years give or take?) if you ignore then mid-gen upgrade which is usually entirely optional.

… can you actually make a PC with comparable performance these days? What does a console-level GPU cost these days?
