I still don’t get why the US sobriety tests are admissible by a judge. cops can just run a breathalyser test (or even a drug test), it’s faster than all these weird test and more reliable.
If your going to arrest someone anyway , you can even get a blood/urine sample for a lab-grade drug search.
Same question as when France did a similar announcement. What is the difference between an enlisted and someone who does a voluntary service. And how to not end up with a bunch of underpaid, and undertrained soldiers replacing regular soldiers? Which sounds like a great way to weaken our defence
I’ve seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That’s just ridiculous
Most of things that are “smart” dont need to be. Why does a fridge, toaster, TV, matress or oven need to be connected to the internet??! For what?!
I’ve recently seen an add stating that, big brand washing machine have WiFi, we have quality and low pricesbut indeed, it’s getting crazy, and what happens when you change ISP?
Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author’s style and pun. A niche book won’t be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.
With the power of “LLM” and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a “specific but uncommon context”. It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won’t be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)
Neighbour,
The small neighbourhood bookstore, hardware store, or food store may not be as cheap as a big brand, but the staff usually know what they’re talking about (nice in a bookstore, important in a hardware store when you have no idea on how to fix a leak). Moreover, they’re here, and don’t need 3 days of delivery.
Finally, shops nearby are part of what makes a neighbourhood nice, some people know it, and will spend the extra cash to not complaint about their dead/empty neighbourghood
That’s a lot of questions…
We do have a pretty good understanding of physics, using the standard model we could predict the Higgs Boson, and the muon’s abnormal magnetic moment with an incredible precision. While cosmology isn’t as precise yet, we’re now in the precision cosmology era so new forces don’t come out of the hat.
A few new force I may think off
Modifed gravity is an alternative theory to dark-matter which would require gravity to behave differently with low acceleration, . While, there is good reasons to think it’s not working, it’s not yet strictly excluded, so a new force can come from here
Inflaton, would be the force associated to the so-called dark-energy which explain the universe expansion. However, the property of the inflaton particle still have to be understood, but that would be a new force
Higgs field being a boson, it’s a force
Supersymmetry is a pretty popular extension to the standard model (as it would solve a lot of problems, and provides theoretical candidate for dark-matter) and it involved a new batch of boson --> New force
lot of administrative burden and hidden cost for giving out cards, managing giant secure databases
This already exists, France already has social security cards and right verifications (at the point sometimes a status change will mean month without a valid social security, in principle once it:s sorted it’s retroactive, but advancing one doctor visit is a thing, advancing a whole surgery is another)
Be the change you want, and post here
This is how it should be done, don’t hide shit under tgc carpet and ask your customer to apply the software patch.
I am tfsorry that you have to go through this, do you have any choice in the matter or anyway to bail out? Seriously, do your future self a favour and say no.
Listen to your wife, be present, don’t force her to have sex.
Thanks everyone, looks like throwing the rich in jail always work on Lemmy,
I try to come with a theme today or tomorrow
Scientists don’t know if dark matter really exists, or if there’s other ways to explain this phenomenon. Another explanation is that there’s no extra matter, but that this is just how gravity behaves in large scales.
I am by no mean an expert, but I When I was a master student, I spent some time exploring the modified gravity rabbithole the most popular being MOND. The big limit is that it’s a ad hoc model to fit galaxy rotation curve, it works pretty well. But it doesn’t work if you try to use it for a cosmological model, and doesn’t explain gravitational lensing. Making it an overall weak hypothesis compared to the good old cold dark matter
The standard cosmological model with dark matter and dark energy (it’s two different objets) is supported by a lot of evidences. Up to now, no alternative theory works at explaining all data we have.
Don’t get me wrong, we may have a massive hole in gravity, and may at a point get the missing piece of data to find it and explain everything without using exotic particles. But as of today, both particle physicists and cosmologists agree that particle physics beyond the standard model provides the most solid candidate for dark matter and that nothing else has a solid backing
While I’ve bee away from dark matter physics for a while, we do have a couple of theoretical candidates for dark matter, and data from cosmology and particle accelerator, somehow describing the kind of proporties that a dark matter particle would have.
And it includes a low cross section, meaning that most likely it won’t interact with light (see it as smaller than light as an over simplification). This makes detection pretty hard both in direct and indirect way
Oups, I was expecting a bit more money to spend
Does it works if I get it back latter doznpayement for a 2 million house, with a “provided mortgage is approved clause”. 2 weeks latter tell that the bank doesn’t follow. Too bad I am not rich.
Alternative is a second hand ultra light plane, wit. That budget I may buy something cool.
French rpg bloodlust is famous for God Weapon having their own urges but not being able to indulge them without a human bearing the weapon.
Leading to the poor human getting some power based on what the weaponk let them do, while having a weapon begging them to indulge in violence, lust or any other awful sin.
Having a player having the weapon and another one the bearer open the road to pretty interesting roleplay

I wanted to keep-it fun, so I avoided one of the many actual person you can think about
Very often, it’s the other way around, museum are a storage plage for scientific/historical/artistic artifact and the be in display is a bonus.
Government own many objects that have an important historical value, and they can’t sell them (beside law, imagine the scandal if the French gov sell the mona Lisa or if US gov sell Neil amstrong spacesuit) so better having them in public display
