Haha, cookie is already American English and we’re Australian and Irish. Maybe that’s enough. Or we should go the other way and call her biscuit or tim tam.
My grandmother had a dog called toffee as a child, so I like that. My parents in law had 2 jack Russel’s called rom and Jerry. So a cartoon character is an option too.
SatansMaggotyCumFart, that’s a nice thing to say. However, I think we have differing views on nice names to choose.
I just don’t think I want to call out “here buttcrack, here girl. That’s right, do a poo buttcrack” at the dog park. Maybe it’s different with cats as you don’t tend to speak to them in the same way due to their underlying contempt.
I’d much prefer these bikes are on the main bridge platform rather than on the pedestrian part. The article makes it sound like they should have stayed off the road.
I think requiring licences would be sensible at this point. For bikes AND ebokes that are using the roads. Sydney is becoming more bike friendly with cycle lanes, but there are lots of awful cyclists who whizz through pedestrian only areas and ignore bike signage and lights.
Part of the problem is that it’s still car centric. Anywhere there is an intersection, cars are given right of way instead of bikes. That’s starting to change with bike turns across traffic being indicated with a box placing them in front of car cross traffic. So, I you are turning left, from a bike lane.on the right, you wait in a box further right. When the lights change, you cross before the cars do. Seems sensible.
Unfortunately, there are lots of parts where a car turning across traffic or bike lanes is prioritized before bikes going straight.
They’ve tried, but nobody speaks their language. Unfortunately even Google translate and ai have difficulty with new stuff as they haven’t been able to incorporate it into their models as yet.
The big fear, from a technical standpoint is that by the time that is done, they will no longer be teenagers and will be able to speak the common tongue. By then, well all be dead from cycle accidents on social media.
I’m still a Linux newbie. How long does it usually take before this is on rolling releases? Do they test while it’s unreleased and then release soon after or start testing now? Days, weeks, month? Varies by what’s changed, I’m sure, but I mean a typical non-milestone kernel release.
Haha, I don’t. But my kids kind of do. I doubt they are being influenced by any trends as they wouldn’t be familiar. Luckily cookie is the second choice. First choice was buttcrack, which has been nixed.
I’m getting a puppy this week. The proposed name is cookie. What to do?
There are “no weapons” signs at libraries?
Yes, and we should continue to do so. However, lets not pretend that immoral actions by America and Europe don’t undermined their position.
It’s also to say they have principles. It’s hard for the USA or Europe to criticize their human rights abuses while continuing to support Israel. It’s a way to highlight western hypocrisy while avoiding risk. Remember they still invest into other high risk countries. High risk can lead to high reward.
Yes, that’s what subsidies the oil and gas but it’s the external expenses to society that are the biggest subsidy. That’s what carbon taxes or carbon trading schemes are designed to address. This, the true cost makes oil and gas uneconomical compared to green energy.
It’s like Walmart underpaying their workers, so they are entitled to food aid. The tru cost of living is not reflected in their wages. We all end up subsidizing the company instead of them paying their fair share.
You don’t even need to subsidies electric. You just need to tax all carbon and pollution at the actual cost to society.
The only reason petrol is preferred elsewhere is due to the lack of infrastructure. You can get petrol/gas everywhere. Charging your car is less reliable and needs effort to find. While it’s not really a problem for most people’s driving habits day to day, it’s a perceived problem.
As energy prices continue to rise and solar continues to drop, it will become more and more economical to have electric car and solar charging.
Surely the increase in visitor spending could fund some public toilets, which is clearly lacking for that volume of people.
Every forced update is 5 minutes of hassle for each login. If you work from multiple PCs, it’s a nightmare.
In the context of human energy use it’s also extremely simplified. Energy in can be measured in terms of food, but that assumes all calories are absorbed. It also assumes exact efficiency. It assumes average energy use etc.
As weight loss drugs show, for many who struggled with weight loss before, it’s also important how the body uses, stores and distributes the energy.
Sure, no energy is created or destroyed, but dietary makeup, hormones, metabolism gut motility, gut biome, etc all have an effect in the process.
Being pushed there or going there naturally, it’s still moving that direction.
If ai allows the improvements hoped for, it’s likely to increase productivity for humanity just like all other major advances did.
It’s politics and laws that decide who benefits from it. Under our current systems, wealthy people and corporations benefit, but likey we’ll see increasing taxes on ai output and increases in ubi type schemes for people.
AI is a bubble currently but it is an advancement in tech that provides benefit. Just nowhere near the benefit to be actual intelligence.
Human jobs get eliminated by new tech all the time. This just has and will be rapid, which leads to upheaval. Unfortunately, it’s precisely at a time when the world is already moving towards war and authoritarianism, so it’s particularly bad timing.
Or even any foss projects with social parts that are kid safe.
I’d love to let my kid play daily Scrabble with his grandma overseas with chat. However, .ost games seem to be open to all or closes to chat completely. There is no middle ground.
The Irish version is already happening. However not everyone will get it.
Oh, your not meant to go in the pool. Go to the bathroom before swimming.
