Trump should put tariffs on Champagne, because the whole world is going to be buying lots of it (soon hopefully)!

If only Congress can declare war, why do the captains on the battleships and aircraft carriers follow his order to strike? Why aren't they pushing back, asking "Where is the approval from Congress?". Aren't these the "illegal orders" that everyone was saying the military should ignore?

Carry On next to Hammer Horror, around the corner from the Richard Curtis section which is opposite the Hitchcock zone.

Having deleted the Twitter app of my phone several months ago, and until recently just viewed its content on the web. Today I deactivated my Twitter account and left for good, I refuse to support the site in any way....I won't miss it or its toxic content.

Another reason not to go there....not like I needed another one.

I talk to my kids all the time about digital safety and wellbeing. None of the kids at our school are phased by the ban, they really don't care about it. Sure kids will get around it, and let them...but for the rest, perhaps there is less anxiety or "brain rot" due to less doom scrolling of AI slop.

This is the same with most bans, there will always be those who get around it. But if you can make it hard for 80% of teenagers to access social media, then 80% might have less anxiety, or "brain rot". Does a 13yr old really need to be doom scrolling TikTok or Instagram all day?

I have two kids, 12 & 10 yrs...I support this ban, as do the other parents at my kid's school. The kids don't seem phased by it at all, there is a no mobile phone policy at schools anyway. If adults struggle with their digital wellbeing, kids certainly need a guiding hand and this ban makes it easy.

My initial thought would be that currently if an analytic event is missed on the backend, it's not a huge drama...1 event out of 100s, or 1000s. But with the new approach, if I miss a single context update then all subsequent events are now incorrect, until the next context update.

I can't even chop a branch off a tree without council approval, how is this MoFo allowed to tear down arguably the most important building in America willy nilly?? Why is the White House not some kind of National Trust entity, protected for future generations? Maddening, and I'm not even American!

I aspire to be as good as @p-y.wtf at understanding Android and debugging this well.

Testing, testing...1...2..3

No ATProtocol library being used, just testing some ChatGPT code that generated a Ktor client that did the post above.

Also playing with Koog, trying to see if there is some use-case I can solve by mixing a few things together.

Same in Australia, AusPost have sent us a similar email. I've had to update my Etsy store to notify customers that due to the incompetent policies of the current US president, no more parcels for you! Maybe Americans with friends in Canada or Mexico can ask them to make purchases on their behalf.

The perfect biscuit doesn't exist??? I present to you the humble TimTam. Its perfect! It can be used for dunking, but can _also_ be used as a straw. Did I mention its also made of chocolate?!

I'm not based in the US, but how do people get chosen for test screenings? You should do a test screening here in Sydney!

The real crime are those who take the tube from Leicester square to Covent garden...and other similarly short routes. It takes longer to go down the escalator etc than it does to just walk it, and the walk is so much nicer.

@jetbrains.com and @kotlinlang.org can we get some support in making Kotlin a 1st party language for Godot. There is already an open source project starting this work, can we get a boost please?

I assume you're talking more than just screenshot comparison testing with a tool like Paparazzi.
