That is exactly what the comic says but its not true, fossil records for ferns go back to the devonian several 100 million years before the Cretaceous

The UK is more water stressed than Australia ? That seems…unlikely ? Counter intuitive anyway

Good. Good riddance to bad rubbish, they actively worked to stop, and then to slow the EV transition. They still make shite EVs.

May they be soon forgotten.

Nope

Edit I’ve just rewatched the video 3 times and I can’t fathom where you’re getting that idea from. It’s a normal model 3 then it’s a model 3 with a tank on it.

If you really think there’s shenanigans then post a pic highlighting where you think you can see it

You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy

And then he went to Salon ?

Agree withthe other guy, sparkies are more in demand. There’s a million indian programmers trying to emigrate

Somewhat ironically, the US is one of the easier places to migrate to.

Yeah. That’s not actually true.

The US is about the same as most developed countries, and I say that as someone who has (legally) worked in 6 different (developed/western countries) countries including the US (2 years there was enough, I didn’t pursue citizenship).

The perception that the US is easy to legally immigrate to is a strawman.

You guys do however have paths from illegal to legal that most don’t have - provided you don’t get caught first.

I think the implication is that Mango making the US no longer a secular power facilitated this.

Donated by the owner

“The car’s battery was removed and the vehicle made safe before it was crushed, the group said. The Tesla had been donated by an owner who said they were “appalled” by Musk’s public support for far-right movements in Europe.”

who is Ken Turner?

98 year old WW2 Normandy veteran who carried a piece of tank in his neck for 50 years according to BBC

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j2s9cq

I can’t find any reporting on where he got the tank from but there’s a museum in the Midlands and another in Surrey with plenty of working WW2 era tanks - it wouldn’t have been too hard to rustle one up. I’m betting it’s this one, it’s the largest.

It wasn’t pre-flattened. Watch the video

If they tell you anything on the first day of President school that you absolutely need to remember: DO NOT FUCK WITH MILITARY MONEY.

He’s been doing that since day one. European countries have cancelled a lot of military orders (Portugal cancelled several billion dollars worth of F35s for example), and he wouldn’t even let Ukraine order Patriot missiles (they weren’t asking for freebies, they were ready with cash). Europe has announced a several Trillion defence initiative which is to be spent on EU arms not US ones…

If the military industrial complex aren’t mad with him yet then they’re not paying attention.

Errmmm, dateline Dec 10th 2024 - you’re a little behind the curve here

Users aren’t likely to point out a bot when the rules explicitly prevent them from doing that.

In fact one user commented that he had his comment calling out one of the bots as a bot deleted by mods for breaking that rule

The moment an authoritarian party gets into power the Governor/Queen can and has previously booted the ruling Government out. (See Prime Minister Menzies controversy)

Could you expand on that please ? I assume you’re not referencing Gough Whitlam’s dismissal by the GG at the behest of the CIA ?

I’ve had a quick search and can’t find anything pointing to conflict between Menzies and the Crown, nor anything suggesting the monarch or the GG booted him out. Could be a searching failure on my part of course so info appreciated

There is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you’ll get a connection.

You may wish to reword. The unspecified “they” reads like you think Meta have strict ethical rules. Lol.

Meta have no ethics whatsoever, and yes I assume you meant universities have strict rules however the approval of this study marks even that as questionable

to the left

yet still barely over the left centre part of the political spectrum

Yeah, I chuckled at that. Labor is centrist with MPs soft right and soft left around the centre. The Greens are left but they lost 2 seats.

That’s not only quite defeatist it’s not really true. Everything can be reverse engineered, obviously in some cases it’s not economical, but John Deere tractors and their obnoxious lockdowns are a classic case of where this leads to genuine value for people. JD robbing the farmers of the ability to perform simple repairs and charging huge bucks to do them ends up with costs on your grocery bill. This bill doesn’t directly impact that I don’t believe but it’s the simplest clearest example of why this is important.

This is brilliant news - we’re all better off for it.
