How the hell can one have patent of ‘catching a creature through aiming’ or even more crazy to me ‘riding a creature’ in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?

I have ‘night mode’ and ‘extra dark’ in my quick settings right below the slider. If I can get rid of one or both with an updated slider that’d be a great improvement. Never understood why smartphones are so super bright by default.

But it would take a long time to open each packet and spray it on the fire.

1. Lay the Capri Suns in the ground next to the fire
2. Get another semi truck
3. Drive over the packets to squish out the liquid onto the fire
4. If the additional semi truck catches fire as well, repeat from step 1

And do people also buy these non-alcaholic versions then or are they barely available in stores? If they really offer the alternative and at least some people switch to them, I’d still consider it a win.

Does anyone know how they define junk food in that guideline? Is it based on calories / fat / sugar? Or do they have a specific list of products that are now forbidden in ads? Or a list of companies? Does the ban include product placements (like a kids movie where a family goes to McD? What about ‘normal’ content about fast food (like SpongeBob making krabby burgers)?

I really appreciate the law but I think it can be quite challenging to draw the line between legal and illegal.

I vividly remember pushing my parents to go McDonald’s after I saw an advertisement with the newest Happy Meal toys. I wanted the toy in the first place, the food tasted good as a kid but even then not amazing. I think ads do have a huge influence on which toys and which food kids ask for.

I always and exclusively vote based on people’s hats. Thank god I’m not living in 'murica! :}

I think it was a sweet moment there and made Biden appear as a friendly and self-ironic guy. I doubt the Trump campaign can leverage this photo as they are sharing AI stuff all day and compared to all these fakes, Biden wearing a Trump hat is pretty lame. :D

Republicans shared fake AI pictures that framed Taylor Swift as passionate Pro-Trump.

While she tried to have a more neutral stance and remained silent regarding the 2024 election before, she now publicly sided with Harris and the democratic party to counter the deepfakes.

‘Childless cat lady’ is a reference to a quote of Trump’s running mate Vance in 2021. He referred to democratic female politicians as “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives".

Taylor Swift now included that quote sarcastically in her statement.

Then Musk for some reason felt the urge to get involved even no one asked for his opinion.

I have several big 50 liter plant pots with Ficus Benjamini and other subtropical plants that I water every 4-6 weeks with around 2 litres per pot. So far they survived like this for around 15 years.

I have no clue what that standard certifies but I was able to find several such phones immediately on the German Amazon like this one for 140€ (around $150 right now) from a brand that I never heard of.

Is that a protected term where you live? In Germany a lot of products, including the cheapest and crappiest ones, are advertised as military grade and that doesn’t give any indication on quality or durability.

e.g.

If someone offers the slimmest phone, I have some doubts regarding structural integrity. Especially, the way I (unintentionally) often treat my phone, it’ll probably bend or break within weeks.

Sorry but quotes from two random people are not a serious source to prove that non-voters are leaving the US or vice versa. That’s what you call anecdotal evidence.

Do you have a source that those people leaving are the ones that didn’t vote? I would guess that people who consider a measure as drastic as leaving your home country, would vote above average.

Furthermore, I would expect that mainly well-educated people are leaving the US, simply because it’s much easier to get a work permit elsewhere. And high education typically also correlates with higher participation in elections.

I didn’t have much time right now to a deeper research on these stand points. So if I’m wrong, I’d highly appreciate any sources.

Came here to say exactly that. In general, abs are a muscle group you shouldn’t bother about in your workouts.

Do more complex, full body exercises rather than training such small, specific areas. If you do dead lifts, push ups, pull ups, squats etc. your abs will be involved everywhere implicitly and grow proportionally.

Crunches, curls, shrugs, shoulder press etc. that target small muscle groups are all only relevant if you want to max out an already well-trained body.

OK, that’s a valid point that I agree to. But then this guide is not a ‘cool guide’ because it doesn’t give me a clue on what’s the relevant differentiator between the different things. If it’s properties like textile, color etc. and not just the cut, then there should be some kind of indicator, explanatory remark or visualisation of that.

Thanks for the comment! So from my understanding US and Germany are similar then in terms of intention as a prerequisite. Probably it’s similar in UK too then.

In the case here, I doubt the boss tried to kill the employee with the immune disease and as no one died, it’s neither attempted murder nor murder nor manslaughter.

I don’t want to be a nitpicker but I think it’s important to be precise when it comes to criminal offenses. Far too often I read allegations of murder, rape etc. when there’s simply no proof (yet) for such a claim.

I see your point and I think the hats are a better example than the trousers comment below. Especially when it comes to traditional clothing, there’s a ton of different, very specialized hats with special names and for a 3rd person might be all just ‘hats’. Thanks for the analogy. :)

Pants, Knickers, Slacks, Trousers, Bloomers, Briefs, Britches, Pantaloons

Aren’t these just synonyms for the more or less same thing and not different concepts that just (almost) look alike? The pure existence of this guide implies that the nuances between these kinds of clothing are so important that you should be able to differentiate them. And Hijab and Shayla seem to me almost identical. The cloth is placed slightly different but that might have happened also by the wind or so.
