The Sandwich Maker!

Nice

I found it very funny, especially Wesleys portrayal of Kirk. The plot was a bit so and so though.

I’ve enjoyed the season well enough so far but this to me was a bit off script-wise.

Nothing wrong with the concept – a forgotten spaceship from Earth* but there was no explanation or speculation on how they survived and why their spaceship had that (atrocious) cyberpunk pirates of the caribbean aesthetic.

So many questions that even the characters themselves should have asked but didn’t. The takeaway seemed to be about human nature, the darkness within us etc. but it wasn’t really explored rather than haphazardly touched upon like it was an afterthought. And maybe it was, maybe the idea that the “dangerous aliens” were human was a late edit.

*Although a bit hard to integrate to the canon but whatever.

Norway is not an EU member state, so most likely that’s a no.

Granted, there are some financial programmes between the two so it’s not completely out of the question.

And what do you mean by funded?

• Direct funding of the project?

• Subsidizing European companies that build data centres?

• Subsidizing investment in key areas of technology?

• Subsidizing buildings that meet certain energy efficiency standards?

• Trying to court AI companies with legislation?

• Subsidizing regional development?

In the end you can interpret the question and answer however you want so that it fits your political views.

However:

• The EU usually declares direct investments quite clearly and takes pride in them

• The data centre company Aker is British and UK isn’t an EU member state either

• The funding sums from all the other parties have been mentioned and there is no mention of EU involvement

• Norway is a rich country and its sovereign wealth fund is the largest in the world

We probably agree on the politics around AI and data centres, impact on the environment and so on but what irks me are all the knee-jerk, no second thought comments that contribute to unnecessary polarization and to a group think that’s allergic to facts and curiosity.

And lastly, sorry to pick on your comment like this.

The shoses gave him away!

Well said.

Why not let a graphics designer do it?

(Just curious)

Sorry about your 6 Pro. It’s a great watch.

Polar is the only European one focused on sports. Suunto is Chinese-owned. Maybe you were thinking of Garmin which has some legal structures in Switzerland.

Withings is probably not what you’re looking for but it’s French.

Decathlon (French) also has a sportswatch line but it’s developed by/with Coros (Chinese/USA). Not optimal but I thought I’d mention it because there aren’t that many alternatives.

Have you looked at reviews by “the quantified scientist” on Youtube?

Maybe we should try some positive “letter writing campaigns” whenever we see positive change like this.

Imagine the bureaucrats and politicians of Schleswig-Holstein being flooded with positive responses from across Europe.

I feel it would make politicians more inclined to reject any Microsoft meddling to overturn these decisions.

should

I don’t get this part but it’s a matter of taste I guess.

Ah crap, it just reminds me of Windows Vista.

Also, having buttons and controls on transparent backgrounds makes things harder to read / discern.

The the lock screen however is a nice Apple-esque touch.

How can they use a word like “galumphing” without providing any video?!

Anyway, here, if you were curious:

If you say so.

It’s also descriptive in the sense that the rudder used for steering was historically on the “right” side of the boat which is the natural place for it if you’re right handed. Starboard, whatever its complete etymology is, comes from it being the “steering” side. Port is the side facing the port as you shouldn’t have your rudder facing that direction.

To avoid confusion about my left your left I’d wager.

“Heise.de” ironically uses one of the worst cookie banner designs of them all.

It amazes me how companies miss these things…

It’s going to take a while for me to get over the fact they decided to squeeze all the rest of the planned story arc into just one final season and leave it at that.

It’s just so rare to get a show this well done.

I agree, it’s not a fix. However it’s also not just “calling them extremist”. It’s an official classification not just something haphazardly mentioned in a speech.

The move, announced Friday by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), means that the AfD is no longer merely under suspicion. The agency says it now has definitive evidence that the party works against Germany’s democratic system.

A 1,000-page internal report, according to German public broadcaster ARD, underpins the decision, citing violations of core constitutional principles such as human dignity and the rule of law.

The new classification doesn’t ban the party, but it allows German authorities to intensify surveillance, including the use of undercover informants and monitoring communications, under judicial oversight.
