Why do you think that I was trying to make it better?

You can make a quiet call if you have headphones or earphones but I find that people (myself included) tend to talk louder on a call than they do in person. I’m sure that it’s not necessary but it happens anyway.

I think that Turkey’s obvious response is to recognise the Palestinian genocide.

It has a lot of content that isn’t available anywhere else. Sometimes the best option is still shit.

Same here. For a trial period I kept the ST hub but as soon as was happy with home assistant the ST went.

You’re right. It often comes from the previous game but if that game doesn’t do well then the chances of there being another are greatly reduced.

Ideally, the restaurant should pay enough that tipping is not required (which does require them to raise prices). As a customer you would then be free to tip a smaller amount if you thought that the service was exceptional.

That’s how it works in the UK although a lot of businesses are adding a tip onto the bill in advance so that you would need to complain about the service to get it removed (technically you can just ask them to remove the tip without giving a reason if that’s how you want to play it).

You can, for example, give one an instruction to do something. After it has done it, you ask the other (verbal) hemisphere why they just did that, and they immediately make up a plausible-sounding explanation despite the scientists knowing it’s not the actual reason.

Sounds like AI got something right then.

It should be illegal to buy a company on loan and transfer that debt to the company. You should be required to get your money back via dividends or by building the company up and reselling it.

It’s only meaningless if you’re pedantic.

It obviously means the greatest of all time so far because at the time you make the statement you cannot judge what hasn’t happened yet.

It gets more complicated when you’re saying it about a company or game in the past but I still think that it has meaning. It could mean that at the time, they were the greatest of all time (up until that point in time) but it could also mean that at this point in time that past version of EA was the greatest of all time (up until now, which is beyond the time that that version of EA existed).

Well, they said that half struggled to afford it. They didn’t mention how many didn’t have a chance of affording it.

You have to fuck with other connected people then it becomes a game of top trumps.

For example, I’m sure that Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t have been convicted had he only defrauded ordinary people.

There seems to be a trend in journalism to avoid the word “and” and replace it with commas. I hate it.

This is much more readable:

MP who helps shape AI and auto policy owns Palantir and Tesla stock

They’d have taken a certain level of loss into consideration when they made the change.

They definitely wouldn’t want to break even on profits though.

But it’s in the interest of each business to charge as little as possible while maintaining profit.

So if a competitor of yours is able to not charge tax then you’d better get your act in gear to remain competitive.

There’s also an incentive to be the first to offer the tax free sales so it should sort itself out over time.

I don’t think that even Boris could have pulled that lie off. The Conservatives were very weak at the time which is why they agreed to the referendum in the first place.

I don’t think that there’s any scenario that involves us rejoining the EU and keeping the £.

We lost that special position and we’re not getting it back because the EU have found that they can manage without us.

They didn’t, but there’d have been literal rioting in the streets and the Conservatives wouldn’t have got back in power for at least a decade or two had they gone back on it.

Is it being a conspiracy theorist to think that they might have allowed it with the intention of making this exact move if it was discovered?

Better to not screw them.
