    To be fair, this is pretty much the story of any right wing politician too.. at least this girl (arguably) didn't ruin the lives of millions.

    I'm curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

    The injury problem won't go away and with the expansion of the euros, world cup and champions league it will only get worse. I mean Saka hasn't really had a sustained break in as long as I can remember...

    I see this expansion project all as a huge power grab where the bigger teams will horde all the players they can hold on to to have enough star reserves, to cover the almost guaranteed injuries. But maybe I'll be wrong...

    We're not there yet. To me the obvious would be to explain to them something like browsing the internet is similar to being alone in the world's biggest city and you cannot always be there to protect them whilst online?

    I am definitely over simplifying it, but I feel portraying the message that there are good people, bad people and absolutely abhorrent people, is all you can do to protect kids online. Also that everyone takes a big step to the dark side when they are anonymous because for some reason, watching a train crash is more interesting to us that watching one drive past.

    I never really thought about controlling screen times for anything other than to make sure kids' heads spend some time in reality, do you feel it is an effective or important tool for protection too?

    The boy is absolutely ridiculous at what he does. His marketing team on the other hand is not shining the spotlight on him compared to the others in his class.

    But maybe this is intentional?

  • Microsoft wants all its spending on reopening Three Mile Island to come from taxpayer funded loans, and wants tax credits to reimburse it for the fact the electricity it generates will be so expensive

    The headline makes no sense to me and the article crosses over 2 problems in the energy transition.

    Microsoft is only involved in purchasing the power, not the facility itself. In my understanding, that means that Constellation is the only party here involved in the government backed loan. Noting also that the loan itself is not malicious, nor is its use to restart the facility - if nuclear facilities should not be funded or have any special tax status then that should have been considered in the government's legislation.

    The 2nd part about the power from the plant going to grid, and not to Microsoft's data centres directly is a known issue which close to all companies exploit by buying green certificates which I understand are currently done monthly in some areas. That means we do not trace that each electron provided to a user was from renewables, instead we aggregate that a company (via purchasing "green" certificates) shows that enough "green" electricity, anywhere on a connection, was produced to cover their usage for that month. This has nothing to do with Microsoft, their data centres, or this facility in general but is currently being dealt with. It will be clear in the power purchasing agreement how much power Microsoft will purchase from the facility directly and how it is delivered.

    Am I missing something?

    And no, I don't think nuclear power is overly helpful given the exorbitant cost, time and waste aspects

    oh no! think of the stock market!

    We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer. We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that. Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

    I have a mech engineering background and have been tasked to look into electromagnetic product design in the coming years. Before I dive deep and tackle this change, I would like a refresher on electromagnetic radiation, especially low power applications. Massive bonus points if there are any resources which include regulation too. Anyone got any worthwhile resources?

    Hat jemand herausgefunden, wo man den genauen Zeitplan finden kann, um zu sehen, welche Sportart der ORF bei den Olympischen Spielen streamt und zu welcher Zeit? Ich kann nur die Livestream-Optionen für ORF1 und ORF SPORTS+ sehen, aber keinen genauen Zeitplan. In der ZDF Mediathek habe ich gesehen, dass man die einzelnen Sportarten auswählen kann, ist das auch hier möglich?

    I have a large number of photos edited and ready to go and want to then them into an album. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FOSS software that I can use to arrange the images to pages, and add text? I intend to send the data to a professional printer for printing and binding. My first thought was Libre Office's Draw, but maybe this community has something more appropriate.

    I personally think each of the challenges are well thought out! Favourites: Badder Bosses and Swarm Intelligence. These imho add a nice layer to the game. Least favourite: Into the darkness, it annoys me getting sniped from a ranged enemy without seeing anything. Special shout-out to pharmacopoeia and faith is my armour. I cannot finish the game with these on - anyone got any tips?

    Simple question, but I haven't been able to find any decent answer yet: Does anyone have a good guide for reducing fees when buying and selling coins for fiat?

    recommendations on a record player

    I am way out of my depths even looking for one. If anyone has any pointers, it would be a huge help! For info: I use 2 Edifier R1280s and normally on relatively low volume, so it doesn't need to be anything crazy, but I will slowly build my sound system over the next 4-5 years and would like to not need replace a new record player (which will be a central piece) in the coming years. Willing to spend €350 depending on quality. Many thanks BAs!

    I'm looking for a book (preferably eBook) which explains one or more engineering projects in great detail. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a resource or book to get further into photo editing. Preferably something that explores a handful of scenes and/or portraits and outlines or builds on basics to advanced techniques. I hope that's not too generic of a request... Anyone here have any tips?

    I hope this questions hasn't been overdone, but for those active in financial markets does anyone have a recommendation for an app to track markets? I can only find widget apps with limited functionality (don't show volumes on graphs, missing trend data etc.) I'm currently using Stocks Widget, which missing some graph features and the widget function is buggy on my phone. (https://github.com/premnirmal/StockTicker) The source of the data isn't strictly important in my case, as long as it can pull EU market info.
