I guess if we as humanity focused on producing only high quality and essential, basic products (food, housing, clothing) + the tools and processes that we need in the supply chain, we could massively reduce labor and reduce our ecological footprint at the same time. But our current economical system is depending on everyone doing something, everlasting growth and consumption.

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

Is Johnny the brother of little Bobby Tables?

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 agree that’s a 100% asshole move and should be punished severely but at least in Germany it’s only murder if you have the explicit intention to kill someone and a lower motive. If you kill someone by spreading a virus that you thought was just a hoax that’s still definitely far from being murder. In Germany. Not sure about US jurisdication.

If I were C++, I’d wear my pants like that.

On the opposite ends of the plus characters I’d put my shoes obviously.

In case you haven’t done that already, also check out YouTube. I’m often suprised how much copyrighted documentaries are available there.

Amazing video which must have caused a huge amount of preparation work. Thanks for sharing!

As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn’t have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.

Also it’s just a case of anecdotal evidence and definitely not a recommended practice, it was interesting to read this guy’s experience. Thanks for sharing!

Not a washing machine technician but I guess an optical sensor measuring the light permeability of the water (over time) should do the trick. Similar to a smoke detector. But I guess weight is a thing as well.

1. Newer washing machines vary in time depending on how dirty your clothes are. So the same program may take 50 minutes or 90 minutes. This cannot be solved with a regular timer.

2. If you have a job with varying hours, you might want to start the washing mashine when you’re heading home. Then you’re clothes are ready to be hung as you arrive and they aren’t laying around for hours.

3. If you own photovoltaic, you might want to time energy intense home appliances such as washing machines, dish washers etc. to a period of overproduction.

Not saying, these issues are super important but there definitely are use cases for smart devices. However, I’d always recommend using a local / self-hosted rather than a cloud-based solution.
