No, internal news would be “US cuts down forest in the US” which has absolutely no impact on the world at all. No other country is involved. Just the US. Meaning this is internal US news.

The community rules state no internal US news. Plain and simple.

Rule 1 literally states “no internal US news”. This is internal US news. Not world news.

The “spry” part depends on the lifestyle and the work you do a lot. A dude that’s been in construction won’t be “spry”, their body will be ruined. A welder will not have the lung capacity. Shipyard workers will have their brain rotted because of the two part paints they use that fucks with your nervous system. It all goes to shit later in life the longer you work, and being spry at 70 is a luxury. But at 30, naaah dude, something has gone terribly wrong with you if that’s the case.

This is my theory about 30yo’s having all sorts of pain issues. In school, you used to go to PE like 4 - 6 times a week. Now you do nothing, or go for a 20 min bike ride on Saturday. What did you expect will happen.

Yeah, sure. But at the end of the day, whatever this project is, will work worse than the things I mentioned.

Except it is entirely counterproductive and a project for a project’s sake.

There are stands that turn your regular drill into a “drill press”. 100x more rigid than whatever this is. And with drill presses, you can’t have deflection or it’ll ruin every part you make.

Alternatively, there are $50 drill presses too. Probably “worth the money”, but still more rigid than this.

No argument on gps and lidar from me. Streaming doesn’t work. You are probably thinking about Microsoft flight sim, which completely fails (and is the first “completely streamed” map). Out in the “real world”, you don’t have a fiber connection to stream gigabytes every hour.

Uh huh, sure mr tankie, I sound like a moron. Get blocked.

Does the taxi driver remember every sign in the city, every road and parking spot? No. They are humans - they remember the streets, some important spots that are confusing, maybe a couple of shortcuts. There is a huge difference between having a 3d map of everything in the city in the memory, and setting a GPS to an address, reading the signs as you go by and adhering to them. Also if self driving tech is to expand, you don’t go putting the entire world into memory - that’s not scaleable.

And the same reason that allowed Putin to take so much land too. Appeasement and the “I don’t care what happens in 10 years” mentality. People are ultimately shortsighted and having a detterrent isn’t popular when it is working (i.e. why do we need to spend so much, there wasn’t a war)

“It doesn’t impact us”. The most shortsighted, idiotic reason possible.

Nope, by law Russia cannot use conscripts outside their own borders. All of them signed a contract to be there.

And as I said - a symbol is never “simple as a still life painting”. If it were still life painting only, why is this news? Why didn’t she change the background to a different one that didn’t have the watermelon? Why is there so much emotion surrounding it?

The truth is - a watermelon is a symbol for Palestine now. We organize watermelon parties in public parks and everyone knows what it is. Sure, it’s a celebration of culture, not political, generally just a party. But at the end of the day, it is a symbol too. Playing dumb doesn’t suddenly make people go “oh okay I guess this is just a watermelon”. People see a duck, hear a duck, think a duck.

Not much to understand. A chunk is a small part of a map. People do challenges to do everything in a chunk then move to the next. This guy chose a part of a map that took hundreds of hours to complete and did it.

All flags are inherrently political. A flag is the ultimate symbol for nationalism. Usually you shouldn’t display them in any context, especially in a job that makes you face people from different backgrounds, ethnicities or nations.

So yeah, I’d tell someone to take off the Ukraine background too, not for the “someone might be offended” reason

As with everything, it isn’t about the watermelon, it is about the symbol it represents. To anyone that doesn’t want to excuse / explain, a symbol represents something - in this case support for Palestine. So it is treated the exact same as if she had a Palestinian flag in the background. Especially because she is Palestinian.

The only idiotic part is the “antisemitic” thing, when 1. Palestinians are Semites too, 2. Supporting Palestine isn’t antisemitic.

I’d probably ask a person with a flag background to take it down too tbh, no matter if it was the Israeli flag, Palestinian, British or US. Just probably not for those reasons that they stated.

Probably that people have jobs, families and lives. Otherwise, why haven’t you already started a nonprofit that does that and donates to them?

No ads and no donations, they’ll put wishful thinking into the skillet and eat that I guess
