They (NYT) also did a similar one on election day in November 1999, where the answer could be both GWBUSH and ALGORE with the hint “The next president of the United States”. Their crossword puzzle person/team is pretty clever.
Edit: I might have misremembered after a quick kagi search. This seems the one I had in mind: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2zqn4o/til_that_the_new_york_times_published_a_crossword/
Yea, and tomorrow Musk announces the imminent go live of his robot sales, predicts several million will be sold in a matter of months and the stock will bounce back up 10%.
Even if I was still an active investor I would not bet against Tesla. Musk has proven a master in stock manipulation.
They can call it New Flevoland
That’s why I use mail relays.
Based on how it went with nutria in Europe, that is exactly what will happen.
I want everything as dumb as possible. I will register whatever I buy with the manufacturer for warranty purposes, but other than that: dumb toaster, dumb fridge, dumb washing machine, dumb robot vacuum cleaner, dumb doorbell, dumb locks, etc…
If it doesn’t need internet to function, it’s not getting any.
That touches on a particularly nefarious part of guilt and why I tend to avoid it by being honest, because there always is that knowledge in the back of your mind and the consideration on whether you should come clean. I hate that feeling and it keeps my tendencies to take the easy route by being dishonest in check.
True, good sport streams are a lot harder to find than they used to be.
A friend of mine is a professor in anthropology and he told me that he stayed in academia because he was afraid of change and academia was something he knew well.

Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.
I’m not saying it wasn’t a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don’t want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.
I regularly donate to wikipedia, the guardian, keepass2android, whatever fund raising Ukraine Matters has at the time I feel like donating and lemmynsfw. Also have a tax deduction directed to animal shelters.
I used to support the internet archive, but I’m still pissed off at their stupidity.
I have never been able to read a book on a computer. It just feels completely unnatural, even though I read a ton of articles, forum posts, manuals, etc. on my phone or computer. Not a peasant because they could historically usually not read let alone afford a book, but I do love actual physical books.
I didn’t care one wit. I did look up who made it to the semis as I was curious if any non-Europen clubs managed to progress that far.
That being said, the prize money will keep enticing clubs to come. The second it runs out, the party is over. But hey, at least Infantino managed to line his pockets.
The report found that illegal downloads and streams can actually boost legal sales of games, according to the report.
This is the real kicker and something that has been observed many times over the years. It makes sense too. If something is really good, people want to support it and will look for ways to support the creators. It’s basically free advertising. People who can’t afford it aren’t going to support it anyway whether they pirate something or not.
I actually enjoyed that movie. I went in with zero expectations though, so that probably helped.
The EU is slow moving. That can be detrimental to techhnological arms races sometimes, but the stability it provides also has a lot of benefits. Currently they are consulting start-ups in a bid to streamline innovation and incentivize venture capital. Germany is now actively trying to make business administration easier. So the necessary steps are being taken, but it will take time to implement as is the wont of the EU and its member states.
All change starts with talk, but I do think that European politicians see the acute need for a new innovation framework that is tailored to the times. Even when that framework is in place it will take several more years to visibly notice results. But then the EU per definition looks at the long game, so it’s not a bad thing per se.
It’s Boeing though…
In Düsseldorf, after the full body scan and scan of my bags, I still had to take of my shoes, put them in a box, they scanned said box with shoes and after as I was putting on my shoes, using the metal seat to lift my feet, they complained about that because people sit there. Which is a fair point, but holy shit was I pissed off at the time. I hate that airport.
