Except there’s no contemporaneous record of jesus either existing or being executed by the Romans, despite them keeping detailed records of people they did execute.

You’re right, we should just give bullies whatever they want because they have nuclear weapons.

Have you considered blaming the people committing genocide? Of course not, because you don’t actually give a shit about genocide, it’s all just a bad faith attack point.

no one is stopping anyone in Britain from drinking a litre of the most sugary of sodas.

The soft drink companies stopped us. With the exception of Coke, after the sugar tax came in, all the manufacturers replaced most of the sugar in their products with sweeteners on the presumption that consumers would not pay more for sugar. So the choice was taken away from us - you can’t buy the sugary versions any more!

Yep, and all our pop now tastes like ass with the vile sweeteners so fewer people drink it.

ChatGPT honestly scares me sometimes.

FYI they are called “public schools” because historically, anyone could go to them as long as they could afford the fee. The only other schools around at the time were faith schools. State schools in England would not exist until the 1880s, and in a form we’d recognize today until the 1940s

It’s possible they did. I think Dell briefly discussed it as an option, before using it as leverage to get cheaper Windows licenses from Microsoft. The EEE PC also shipped with its own Linux distro and appropriate hardware drivers.

This was why I said “nearly impossible” :)

Linux is close, but has some core flaws that will forever keep it out of mainstream acceptance by your average user.

It has nothing to do with any flaws within Linux itself. The problem is and has always been that it’s nearly impossible to buy a PC with any flavour of Linux pre-installed. Until that changes, Linux (on home user desktops) will never gain mainstream acceptance.

Maybe it’s anticompetitive conduct by the provider (like Microsoft using its market power on Outlook/Exchange to push other services like Teams over its competition)

That’s exactly what it is. They leveraged their dominance/monopoly in one market to gain a stranglehold on another market. It’s not exactly a new tactic for Microsoft either.

If I were on Tesla’s board, I would be doing my best to get Elon the hell away from the brand.

That’s interesting, what’s so clever or original about its algorithm?

Aren’t Storm Shadows the British missiles? And we already gave them to Ukraine ages ago. I think the German ones are called Taurus?

All of the functions described in the article are already on physical buttons and stalks in the Polestar 2 (I have one), so not sure how this is going to change anything? I’ll agree that some of its error reporting and collision avoidance in particular are almost dangerous in their implementation, but that has no bearing on the physical buttons thing.

1995: animated gifs, <marquee>, guest books, site rings!

Hang on, they said good products

Oh, it’s Ukrainian nationalism causing the deaths is it, not Russia invading? Do you really believe such obvious bullshit and lies?

Video nasty was slang for graphic horror movies, not porn. Not heard anyone say it since the 80s though.

Don’t know what country you’re in, but Decathlon in the UK (and possibly other countries) does this. There are no traditional manned checkouts in there at all.
