Huh? 50 is halvtreds (20 * 2.5)

70 is actually halvfjerdensindstyve, literally “half to the four(th20) times 20”. So the base number (20) * 3.5…

The problem is, Danish people can’t understand each other even with the simplest of words, so they just say halvfjerds.

“I installed secret cameras in the women’s changing rooms to catch shoplifters! Why are you arresting me?”

The administration’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) totals $118.39 billion

Yep, that $500 per day might start to hurt after couple thousand years.

In 2021, Tinkov had complications after surgery and his chances of survival were estimated at only 40%

he publicly criticized the Russian invasion of Ukraine in April 2022

July 2022: his cancer went into remission

Wow, I didn’t realize oligarchs could pay off their karma that easily. I wonder why more don’t do it.

The only smart excuse I could come up with would be that parking is cheaper at work than at home? 😅 My current job is only like 6km away and I still drive there usually, but mostly because street parking is like $4/hour during working hours, whereas I have free parking at work.

A fully acceptable reason for someone to become an ex, though I assume there were many other reasons as well.

Instructions unclear, stuck it up my butt instead.

Wtf, so they drove just for like a bit over 1km? I used to work somewhere a bit over 2km away from my house and usually walked or biked there. I’d drive there when it’s bad weather, and even then it took me longer than biking.

Imagine this: when you start your car, you’re forced to watch a 30 second commercial. Your car already has eye tracking, which actually is a good safety feature, but we’ll be using this to make sure you’re watching the entire time.

If you stop watching, it will change to a 1 minute long commercial instead. If you still don’t watch the entire time, we might just start an even longer commercial.

Or better yet: your inattention is enough reason for us to turn off your car. Lawmakers can’t ban this now, because it’s a secondary safety feature: you don’t have enough attention to mindlessly watch a 30 second commercial, so you’re obviously not alert enough to operate a motor vehicle. Think of the kids.

Damn, I need to be like Sony and get a patent on this, just to stop anyone else from doing it.

Why would they do that? Those services take a sizeable cut from the restaurant, even when you’re doing pickup.

If you called them or tried to order like that, or even tried to make an order physically at the restaurant, would they still say no?

With my luck, specifically that screening will be ad-free and I’ll miss a lot.

You’re not missing anything. Mullvad and probably some of the others lets you download a client config and use it in whatever app you want.

The ones that don’t allow that are probably shady or just don’t care about your freedoms, behind a guise of “our app is more convenient/safe/etc”.

time your transit from point A to point B, calculate your minimum average speed to make the trip in that time, and mail you a citation when you’re over the posted speed limit?

Norway does this.

What exactly is a stick pen? An image search shows one of those pens with a removable cap?

I’ve tried those before, but the caps always end up disappearing on me, and it felt quite “cheap” quality (BIC Cristal for example)… but maybe there’s some better brands?

In what way would the EULA/contract be illegal/invalid? The US has a pretty broad freedom of contract. No one has forced you to buy that licensed computer program. You don’t need it to survive. You’re not discriminated against by not being allowed to buy the software instead of a license.

Understand I’m playing devil’s advocate here. I agree that such contracts are morally corrupt, but I’m not aware of anything that’d make them illegal. Only by being truthful regarding the current laws is how we can make change.

I agree, but that’s not how I’d imagine the courts would see it? If the EULA says that you don’t own the computer program, you’re just paying for a license to use it, then you’re not really “the owner of a copy of a computer program”…

Except if the crackhead wrote what the AI wrote, he’d be prosecuted for conspiracy, solicitation, or whatever.

But Ukraine has a navy…?

How does that work? Aren’t you still paying quite a bit of US taxes, and then also paying UK taxes?

Just get a greyhound… it’s basically the same thing, except when they then turn around, and push you out of the bed.

Bundesrecht Art. 28g:

1 Any person whose personality rights are directly affected by a representation of events in periodically appearing media, especially the press, radio or television, shall have a right of reply.

2 There is no right of reply in respect of accurate reports of the public dealings of an authority in which the affected person took part.

I’m not an expert on Swiss law, but I don’t see any reason that they’d be entitled to a reply…? Let’s hope the courts see it the same way. Bullying small independent media for their factual reporting is just low.
