I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • This feels like a time-traveller changing history scenario. I wonder what the original intent was

    BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A bus driver knocked an explosive-laden drone out of the air, potentially preventing an ‌attack this week at a German airport that serves as a major NATO and cargo logistics hub, a senior lawmaker said on Friday.

    The man spotted the drone flying low while he was working at Leipzig/Halle airport late on Tuesday, then kicked out at it ​in what Detlef Seif described as a courageous but dangerous act.

    The drone, which prosecutors said was equipped ​with professional explosives and a detonator, then crashed nearby, Seif, from the governing conservative CDU ⁠party, told journalists.




  • Personally, when I’m reading an article, I skim past the parts that explain climate change, unless it has some new bit of information (ex. updates to historical trends). It’s not because I doubt climate change, but because I’m pretty familiar with the core points already.

    I think it is helpful to talk about it in longer articles where you have room to dive into the topic, and put the current topic into a relevant wider context. However, I don’t think we should require it for the sake of mentioning it. It’s not effective at changing minds when its done like that.

    I agree that the last article should have included the wider context. I would also be concerned if there is a growing pattern of not mentioning it when it needs to be. On this last point, while it’s more difficult, I would prefer if they analyzed sentiment and phrasing rather than counting mentions.

    Unless someone has more information on this, I’m going to chalk this up to AI-generated rage bait.

    The kitchen area still has the same items on that shelf, there’s an ugly hole where the old CRT TV is (despite the room being “finished” looking), the reflection on the TV is still the same, and the patio turned into an office meeting room. I’m not going to spend time on perspective calculations, but something about the beams on the roof and the placement of the railing look off.
