Now I’m getting confused. Are DDG and Qwant not proxies for Bing?

I think they just call them trains

Or… ask the staff for a menu, order with them, respectfully let them know how you feel about the qr/app thing (unlikely it was their decision to implement but they can pass on the complaint), and if they’re unwilling to take your order (which is hopefully unlikely at this point) feel free to make a little stink (if you feel inclined) and walk out. Still ok to complain on your blog about being spammed with the app but I’d rather try the obvious options first rather than expect the owners to heuristically discover via non-returning customers that we really don’t want the app.

That is, if the coffee/food/service is good, otherwise yea fuck em

Can we leave Mr. T out of this, the man who goes by that name still has my respect :)

I picked the Sony Xperia 1v because:

• 71mm width (similar to pixel 8)
• Flagship specs (*for 2023 - Snapdragon 8 gen2 / 12gb)
• not Google Samsung or Apple
• little to no bloatware
• Decent cameras
• SD card expandable
• Headphone jack 3.5mm (though I haven’t used it yet)
• No glass back (and solid build quality allround)
• LineageOS support (for when vendor support runs out)
• I got a good refurb deal in 2024

I was considering a Zenphone 10 or Xperia 5 v - mainly for size and brand reasons as above - when i found this for £650

Gas stoves without extraction are also a lot more likely to use a liquefied gas fuel (i.e. bottled butane/propane) rather than a plumbed in utility gas mains (typically methane) which makes a big difference in particulate emissions during combustion

Considering how dense radioactive materials typically are (i.e. not likely to disperse in the air as a powder under typical working conditions) you’re talking about some hyperbolic extraction fan there :)

Radioactive particles perhaps but nuclear radiation is not affected by airflow

I think that’s actually a different interview and that this is the one referred in the OP: https://youtu.be/Iyasgj3e-wE

This joke works on so many levels

The same car has been sold under both names for some years but the jetta is still a thing there

Some examples of inaccuracies found by the BBC included:

Gemini incorrectly said the NHS did not recommend vaping as an aid to quit smoking

ChatGPT and Copilot said Rishi Sunak and Nicola Sturgeon were still in office even after they had left

Perplexity misquoted BBC News in a story about the Middle East, saying Iran initially showed “restraint” and described Israel’s actions as “aggressive”

It looks like the graph was added less than a month ago. Image page says the following:

Uploader preliminarily chose countries with populations above 8.5 million, adding Norway (smaller population) because it had the highest aid rate of all in 2023. Then, the twelve countries with the highest per capita aid rates were included in the final chart.

If you want to update it I’d say go for it

Edit: apparently the image was also added to the pages ‘Aid’ and ‘United States foreign aid’ by the same user so… yeah

Some of the non-DAC members you mention are in the article, but agreed the graph is misleading

Overall China spends more than the US and India about the same.
