Simply because a weak US is an advantage for any rising autocracy out here. China and Russia mainly. Any ressources focussed on the middle east is a ressource that cannot go to the Pacific ocean to counter China influence, or to Eastern Europe to counter Russia imperialism.

There is a local relay that allows to basically use ProtonMail with whatever client you want to. It’s a bit more work, for sure, but it allows to use their encryption without having to install any addon on your client.

Nice to see I wasn’t the only one 😆

ProtonMail, maybe Tuta Mail.

Disposable vapes are already forbidden, at least in France, idk if it is union wide.

But yeah, those things make no sense. The only thing with a battery that should be disposable would be fire alarm. Not because of the battery, but because the main sensor has a 10 years lifespan due to its natural deterioration.

Ads and influencers pushing them.

I honestly hope this will play better on the Deck than GW2.

I prefer “IPS”, In Physical Space, and “IVS”, In Virtual Space

As a personal example of Samsung reliability, my 11 years old samsung SSD is still kicking, despite being used as a cache for my Truenas homelab for half of it. This thing will outlive me 😆

Welcome Frenchfrynoob.

Funnily, my american friends do call me French Fry too, but because I’m French myself 😆. I call them freedom fries (a joke that dates back to France refusal to follow the US in Irak)

What do you dislike about the new one?

He probably meant “not everywhere in China is like Shenzhen”, not that Shenzhen isn’t entirely in China.

They removed the wrong side of the tumor.

Looks to me more like a Russian Blue. Chartreux cats have a shorter snout.

Maybe not. May be a half bread, or simply a SIC with chartreux ancestry. Definitive got the eyes and round head of a Chartreux.

Example of a Chartreux :

If is was the case, I understand better the downvotes. That wasn’t my intention de frame it like that, I’m against death penalty.

What I intended to say is that people who takes substances that impair their judgement, and go drive afterward are a danger to everyone around them. They should be sanctioned, just not by death penalty, which, again, make no sense whatsoever in any situation.

Cannabis isn’t a harmless plant, unless it is a variety without THC (study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9940647/). And I doubt a smuggler would import Cannabis without THC. Smuggled cannabis are almost always THC heavy plants, and considering how much he seem to have with him, he either intended to fly to the moon and back, or to sell it around.

Now, THC heavy cannabis is a problem because, like alcohol, it impair the jugement about how ready to drive one is, and I’ve seen many of my friends get into accidents because they thought they where somehow not affected by THC. My words were harsh, no doubt, but I never called for any of them to get death penalties.

Edit: drug resistance exists, of course, but isn’t frequent. I happen to have a mild resistance to opioid based painkillers (found out after a surgery, worst pain I have been for a long time 😅)

Not going to bed and insomnia are two different things. Insomnia is a condition where you try to sleep, and can’t. Not going to bed, well, is a choice.

In both cases, you can be held responsible if you end up falling asleep on the wheel while sleep deprived, and cause an accident.

Do you chose to take insomnia? I’d doubt that.

But to be clear : I am against death penalty. It robs any chance for someone to change for the better, and even the worst criminal can change and try to repair, even partially, the damages he did. In the current case the death penalty is way overblown. But not everyone would be of that opinion, unfortunately.

True.

That’s just my own experience with my own potheads friends. Some of them who got into accidents because they thought they where better than other, and misjudged how much cannabis affected them.

Not everyone is like them, sure. But to this day I never met someone who act rational when under the influence of drugs. Maybe I didn’t met enough drugs user, who knows.

In that case no. If I remember it well, Singapore is quite small, I suppose bike should be enough for most uses except if you have to move big things, or a lot of groceries, in which case cars makes sense.

In my case I have a cargo bike, and live near a mid-sized city, so I can just go do my groceries cycling. But someone who is further in the countryside wouldn’t be able to. Partly because of the distance, no one want to do a two hours trip (or more) to buy groceries, but also because having cars zooming past you at 70km/h and more is kinda stressful.

Case is, cars have uses, cannabis too, but both shouldn’t be used at the same time.
