Whether or not it was the direct cause in this case, fireworks cause a lot of animals a lot of stress and deaths do come from it.
I don’t see why anyone needs to be able to buy explosives to use at home, firework shows should be organised in set locations and should use low noise fireworks as much as possible.
Yeah… but I think it’s too late for Mastodon to be popular. Bluesky is already at the tipping point.
Mastodon just needed to sign you up to their own default server, power users could sign up to different ones and they would have still got the regulars in the door. Mastodon also needed twitter feature parity, something Bluesky also managed much faster.
Once people are in and settled, then they would start asking questions about that URL after their username, people would slowly become comfortable with the federation and understand it.
I thought the idea of the US version was just to avoid republicans.
Why is there so much nationalism at a club match…
The problem is, its very hard to hide the fact you are a smoker. This is why the ban will be effective, its not worth it for kids to take it up.
Trump by all metrics is a much much worse candidate. The democrats should have been able to run a literal turd and still win. It’s not about the policies, Trump ran a cult and it worked. Its absolutely mental.
Because it’s a gradual ban, rather than a blanket ban for everyone immediately, they are hoping the demand won’t be there by the time the last generation of legal smokers die off (sooner than you think given cigarettes are designed to kill).
Obsidian but with syncthing here, just syncs the files across my devices.
That’s how it should be. Cut them a slice of their own pie.
They always forget in their arguments too, that being able to move people around is better economically for the whole country rather than businesses or the state trying to profit off people buying train tickets.
Or more likely, they will just move the domain to be a generic TLD instead of a country code TLD, due to it’s popularity in the tech space.
But Amazon will just replace them for free without any trouble, which is why I tend to go to Amazon for sensitive hardware, for the peace of mind.
The last time I purchased something from another electronics store, it was faulty and they tried their absolute hardest to refuse to take it back and then still wanted me to pay for a courier to return it - congratulations, you lost a customer.
I come online to somewhat get away from the ‘real world’, the last thing I want to do is engage in small talk with the local population. You know what kind of people would end up vocal on there too, so fuck no.
Can we stop calling it AI?
I also like the Halloween pillow (and the cutie sat on it)!
It’s a start, there’s obviously a long way to go for road safety in the US, but every little step helps.
They are doing their jobs. but with limited manpower they have chosen not to stretch themselves even thinner by physically chasing a phone. As the article says, they try to be smarter about it.
Location isn’t that accurate, the phone was probably just traded in a car or in the street.
So the police get a call from the phone owner “yeah my phone location is on X street”, the police get down there, then what? Let’s say it was in a house, it’s rows of houses in London, do they knock on every door there and ask “hey have you stolen a phone?” in hopes the guy admits it? It could have been traded already so a description of someone might not be good enough.
I just read the whole article and it just re-iterates what I have just said. They recover a small amount of the phones because of how quick they move them after they have been stolen. It even says that the criminals “wrap stolen phones in tinfoil to block its signal”.
It’s easy to sit in your chair and say “just go over there and arrest them”, without even taking a moment to understand the logistics of tackling it.
Who is to say it was at an address and not just sold/handed off in the street? They don’t just take the phones to a house and pile them up, they will be sold on through fences rapidly and if they can’t reset them to resell to someone, they get sold for parts (hence why this one ended up in China).
