Wow, turns out Einstein was pretty smart! 😁

One of them calls me Betty.

I don’t use Instagram, but I found this with some pics of some 3120s

And here’s another thing about them: https://www.aliexpress.com/p/wiki/article.html?keywords=3120-skate-shoes

And someone in 2005 who was looking for them but thinks the company disappeared

Not sure about the magazine though, sorry.

“Cartel de los Soles” is not a verifiable organization but a slang term coined by Venezuelan media in the 1990s to describe corruption among individual military officials — not a structured cartel.

Same approach as they have done with Antifa - the notion that a descriptive term can be repurposed as a (non-existant) oppositional entity is perfect for people who want to scare their followers with bogeymen.

See also the absurd misusage of “woke” to encompass anything that isn’t hateful sexism, racism, etc.

I saw Stephen Fry suggest once that it be pronounced “Wuh Wuh Wuh” which I kind of like :-)

I think OP was saying the opposite. They use(d) the N to avoid Netflix originals. Which may also be an answer as to why they have (apparently) removed it.

Seems better to me though, the N was annoying, and there have been some very good Netflix originals, so it’d be a shame if people refused to even consider them on that basis alone.

Although Time’s Man (now Person) of the Year is about who has had the most impact in a given year, it’s not meant to be an honour or endorsement of the person chosen, or at least not officially. Not is it something Hitler “won”. He was named it.

In their wording, he was "the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse” in that year (1938), which tbh is hard to argue with.

From this article about it,

Time named Hitler 1938’s Man of the Year in its Jan. 2, 1939, issue, whose cover illustration, did not feature the portrait of Hitler in the circulating posts, but rather a black-and-white drawing depicting Hitler as a small figure playing a large organ with the caption: “From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate.”

Last week, same OP was absolutely peppering a few communities I’m subbed to. Definitely time to block.

As long as you are not in major target city … you will be fine.

That seems pretty complacent tbh.

First of all even just the top 30 cities in the US are home to about 41 million people. Which seems a lot of folk to simply write off.

Also, the destruction of the major cities would cause huge/complete economic, social, infrastructural and legal collapse for the rest of the country.

Plus, even for those outside the immediate blast radius, there’d be the massive environmental impact of pollution to land and water, not least the potential for a nuclear winter killing off crops, and then animals.

Turns out my house was outside the blast radius if the base was nuked.

Without knowing the size of the bomb, how could you know you would be outside it? Not that blast radius is all that matters anyway.

Come, friendly nukes…

It’s not at all uncommon for major cities to be on or near bodies of water, eg London, LA, NYC, Sydney, Tokyo, Rio, etc. It’s a facilitator to (and outcome of) trade/travel and also can be a source of food and water (for cities on rivers/lakes, obviously).

And it’s also not uncommon for major cities to become capital cities.

Not really surprising that as a country with one coastline, they have their capital so close to the sea.

The majority of phone reviewers (and modern tech reviewers in general) get their review units for free so they lack that feeling and awareness that comes with spending $1000+ of their own money on a new device.

Agreed, but if I ever spent a 1000 bucks on any product, I’d expect it to be able to sit in a usable position without wobbling.

I’m glad they’re highlighting this - the more the better until phone design is improved to eliminate such a stupid flaw.

Outrageous. Impeach him.

That is awesome. Bravo!

It’s just backed by two of the worst people on the planet. They’re probably hoping to see people die in these games.

They probably took Squid Game as a fun suggestion.

99 years old and still stuck on 999…

Nah, the Bears should definitely rest their best players, and I have no ulterior motive for (go Niners!) saying so.

Great song too. And a pretty decent spy agency. On their day.
