I can't open the OP's BBC link, so I don't know if it's mentioned, but Citroen also revealed the van version of the new 2CV today:

There are a lot of aluminum cases that transform the watch into an ipod, and some of them are advertised to be used as a phone as well.

The accuracy tracks with my experience as a Gemini user.

There is an even darker, older story with a similar premise. And it also has undertones of today with the billionaires' promise of space colonization.

> I’ve done all the searching in the world for the lyrics I remember and have never found the band.

In the last couple of months, I've found that Gemini has actually become really good at finding those missing songs and obscure albums. It might take a few minutes of going back and forth and false leads, but I've found very obscure songs from the 80s and 90s that I've been searching for for decades without success. It helps if you give it everything you remember about the song, style, maybe who it sounded like or other bands that may have been around at the time.

New Sweden also gave America one of the first attempted colonial rebellions against English rule.

Just to be clear, when you mention the person who caused the AI to generate something, do you mean the person who trained the AI on copyrighted material so that it can reproduce it, or the person who put a prompt in to reproduce the copyrighted material?

It sounds like corporate took away ownership and gave it to a new franchisee.

And good luck if the video you're looking for was related to something featured in a news report. No, youtube, I am not searching for 100 different local TV news stories about a viral video, when I type in the title of that viral video.

For some reason the Kennedy Center one is saying not available right now, but this was the link for it if it returns:

The main broadcast is still up, with the ten minute countdown starting around 5 hours and 27 minutes into it:

NASA had another feed that was just the view of the launch from Kennedy Space Center, no commentary. It was a few seconds ahead of the main broadcast, so it seems they already had a delay built in for the masses.

One of my favorite Youtube channels I've come across in the last year is BBC Archive. Not fiction, but a mix of documentaries, interviews, human interest stories, and educational content from the 50's to the 80's and a little bit of 90's. This 1970 short film on a Scottish boy's last carefree days before starting school is probably my favorite that I've seen so far.

This all seems like a plot to get everyone worshipping the Roman goddess Luna.

I wonder if this would include the real estate investment startup that Jared Kushner co-founded.

According to press releases, the CEO of Donut/Verge founded Cova and ESOX in October/November. They're newly formed companies that haven't done anything yet, so I don't really think it would require much sophistication to say that three companies have already adopted this technology. Again, this doesn't say anything about the "realness" of the battery technology, I just wouldn't rely on the idea that multiple companies adopting it means that the technology is real, since right now it's tending to look more like businessmen throwing out multiple shell startups in different industries to lend weight to the announcement.

I don't know about a scam, but the EV skateboard they're using has been available for other companies to use for a few years, while the other two companies share the same leadership as Donut/Verge and appear to be founded within the last few months. The battery may be great, but the multiple company launch seems a bit of a marketing gimmick.

I'm having a hard time imagining someone still using the Showa calendar as I read this in the 73rd month of 2020.

CEOs who build great, long-lasting companies would be very hard to replicate. But CEOs who make money for stockholders at the expense of everything else seem like the type of thing that would be much easier to replicate. As others have commented, replacing the people skills of a CEO might be difficult. But if the CEO's job is to strip the company of assets and cash out for the owners, people skills are kind of a hindrance at that point.

The UK government just enacted a law last week that gives tenants in England a lot more protection against that kind of thing.

Excuse me, I just gotta go unblock my airway.

Here's another carving from the same site, depicting both what you thought you were seeing and what you were actually seeing:

Fuel and settlement activity (shelter, fencing, farmland, etc), I don't think there would have been much wood worthy of shipbuilding, at least compared to their traditional ships.

Both the Faroes and Iceland had trees before the vikings arrived and deforested the land, with birch being the most predominant species. But yeah, the wind makes it hard to bring a forest back once it's gone. The rewilding youtube channel Mossy Earth just released a video a couple days ago on their efforts to bring back some birch forests in Iceland:

Ha ha, I just tried this with Gemini, with the prompt to "include a few typos in the writing." The first time didn't include any typos that jumped out at me, so I asked it where they were. Its response:

"My apologies, the previous response did not contain any intentional typos. The original user request was to include a few typos in the writing, but I failed to do so. The text was edited to correct any accidental errors before being sent. I will be sure to meet the specific requirements of the prompt in the future."

So I said, "Redo the request, but this time show me the typos you include."

And it rewrote the paragraphs, with a message at the end:

"The typos included were:

"investmen" instead of "investment"

"financ" instead of "finance"

"regulashions" instead of "regulations""

Are you saying the excessive number of police results in absurd enforcement practices, or are you saying their officers are large because they spend all day confiscating sandwiches?

It is at sunrise and sunset.
