Loudly agreeing with this statement - for anyone who believes that the US and NATO countries were not actively supporting right wing terror groups in Europe (and beyond), read up on Operation Gladio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

True - but it doesn't need to be a humanoid robot - there was a great video of a person that built a 'picker' - essentially a crane in their bedroom that could tidy for them. Why make it look like a human, when better and cheaper to focus on solving the problem?

We move them to another paddock, so the ram can focus his efforts on the remaining untupped ewes.

This - I hate to be the person that always posts the same thing, but read about Operation Gladio ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio ) for a clear view of how NATO encouraged and enabled far right groups to operate militias across Europe. If that is what they did in Europe, I wonder what they were supporting in America?

I've often thought about a number plate reading dashcam app for citizens that would warn you of dangerous drivers around you, let people flag the cars they want to call out. Moderation would be a nightmare though, but I thought you could have to submit some sort of proof (recorded from. The dashcam) but that just increases the moderation overhead... Of course AI could be help and hinder.

Does this end up filtering out those who cannot maintain regular exercise from the exercise group? Otherwise isn't this just filtering for the healthier subjects?

Thank you - wasn't on the front page when I first looked over my coffee - but some excellent discussion there.

Ha I came to see if anyone had posted her. I love her Instagram, so much of it is the logistics of moving all the rock out and supplies in. Fascinating problems to solve on a small scale.

I love that story and the recent 'AI' retelling of it https://maxleiter.com/blog/weights

Which then led me to people who do up washing machines/driers that are dumped at the side of the road, and resell them, which led me to a guy that bought a laundrette - I still watch him, he has a car wash too now...

For a while I seemed to end up on a YouTube algorithm that was full of people doing just that - a good few found success, but there seems to be a good chunk of work to do looking after the machines and stock.

I love wondering around streets I know from my own past. Since my father died I love to 'walk past' his house on Google maps, changing the date to a time when he was still live, and look in to the lights on there and know that at that moment, he's alive and in the house, happy and probably reading a paper or a book. Forever. Somehow it feels even more poignant than my own photos of him.

Off topic - but I am not sure that is true in the UK/EU - did it happen elsewhere in the world?:

Before the COVID restrictions, airlines were required to use their allotted spots at least 80% of the time.[6] During the pandemic, the European Commission temporarily suspended Europe's airport slot rule for a short period.[citation needed] Due to travel restrictions, many flights were cancelled or had limited capacity, which made it difficult for airlines to fulfill all the requirements for possessing an airport slot. The suspension of the slot rule was reinstated in October 2021. After the slot rule was reinstated, the rule only required European airlines to use 75% of their flight slots for the winter season.

I don't have time to dig up her post - but she was calling on people to set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers - she had around 10,000 followers, and her post was read 300,000 times: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yl7p4l11po

This is awesome! |Thank you for sharing

Agree - 10% of the figure is still a lot of people who would have been here, productive and loved and cared for by their families...

I always think of the compound nature of these things - e.g. this happening along side some major wars, potentially a global recession, then what happens if we get another mass virus or similar at the same time. Any one of those things we can cope with (maybe?) but if/when we pile them on top of each other...

When we first got Disney + it was a winner in our house, then kids loved what they could watch, there was good family viewing too, and then was a few good shows that my wife and I were interested.

Lately, it has been right down our list. I think my daughter still watches it on occasion, but nothing of note that I want to watch. If we didn't get it for free with our bank account, I'd cancel it. And with adverts, I'd be cancelling in a heartbeat.

Juggling subscriptions has become really expensive lately - but the only one I value is Netflix, but even then I don't feel I get great value from it, we seem to watch far less TV or films this year.

I came from Northern England, and could get 5 or maybe 7 pirate stations on a good day from my room - only 1 or 2 of which would be my sort of music. In 1999 I moved to London, and bought a really really good (1970s) radio receiver, and couldn't believe the number (and quality) of pirate stations - every bit of the spectrum seemed to be covered. I had a mini-disk player, and used to record some of my favourite shows - but years later sold the player and labelled all the disks as 'blank'.

It felt such an exciting time to hear about new tracks, artists and club nights all across London - but then again I was 20 and had the time and money to go out.

Post it as a submission when it goes live - I'll keep a watch on your account for the link ;)

From TikTok:

What Is Restricted Mode? Restricted Mode limits videos that may not be right for all viewers. It filters out mature or complex themes. Some features like LIVE videos and the Following feed are hidden while it is active

So I can only assume that it did not filter out these things.
