Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

I didn’t find that in the Twitter UI and wondered why OP thought it was an AI. Thanks for sharing.

The tweet: tweet (Is the preview working for you? For me, it’s not).

The game is called geoguessing and those who do this regularly are crazy good at it, taking into account the kind of trees you see, where the sun and shadows are, even the color of the dirt and the pavement.

Tom Scott did something similar and was frightened too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGqEBvlmFAQ&pp=ygUSdG9tIHNjb3R0IGZvdW5kIHVz

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

Well, I just typed “1 gallon in liters” into google and took the first number, because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with your system of measurement more than necessary. My point stands regardless of the exact volume of one gallon.

OF COURSE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE DEFINITION OF GALLON Rageface

Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

How fucking big are American canisters? In Germany the regular size is 5l, [Edit: ~~just shy of~~ a bit more than] one gallon.

Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.

 

Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.

With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Years after my R.E. teacher said, “I will never fall lower than into God’s hands,” I finally came up with the retort, “Let’s go on the roof and check.”
