    I know some people who can do this. Belgium does a lot of board games so it’s easy to print and ship here. Maybe I’ll reach out to them to see if I can make it happen…

    @secret_online @Adarain would any of you be interested in doing a group order with reshipping in EU and splitting the cost of shipping? I also want to order but it’s 45 eur to ship to Belgium.

    After all this time, iOS 18 finally supports T9 dialing. It's ridiculous it took this long, and of course I'm sure apple is selling it like they got this great idea all on their own....

    Absolutely!
    Though I disagree with you on Westworld. I think Westworld is the ultimate realisation of what Jonathan Nolan wanted to do with POI. The later seasons are radically different from the first of course and it is a different premise but it still comes back to the ethics and implications of AI, especially humanlike AI.

    I’m glad this happened in a country with a runoff system.
    Europe needs more shocks like these to wake up to the reality of the war we are currently in.

    We need some prominent, passionate and loud people that Europeans can rally behind, to remind people that we are being attacked; our own people are being stolen to propaganda farms and falling victim to this bullshit.

    If a nation was constantly and consistently state sponsoring scams and phishing campaigns to steal credit card numbers from our citizens, we would be blocking them on all fronts. This needs to be treated the same way.

    And that’s not to say — politicians need to also wake the fuck up to the root issues that a growing part of population cares about. The propaganda works because it’s also exploiting real issues people have.

    It’s easy for you to decide to end wars that aren’t yours, give up territory that isn’t yours, and make judgement calls on who wins or loses them, from the comfort of your own, safe, home.

    The one thing you can do to prevent wars is not willingly throw a vote for authoritarian people just because they tell you how voting for them prevents doomsday. And yet.

    I got the lifetime pass around 2 years ago I think, and I am super happy that nebula is just something I have, don’t have to pay a subscription for, it’s not on my mind in any way etc.
    In that regard even YouTube is worse because YouTube is unwatchable without premium on my tv. Too many ads.
    And I do regularly watch nebula. Jet Lag early, some exclusives etc

    If self-driving vehicles are so easy, why aren't self-driving trains universal? It's clearly a far easier problem than self-driving automobiles.

    Because the incentives to invest in solving a problem are very different when the driver is a majority of the cost of the transport (truck) vs an extreme minority (train).

    There’s many examples of self driving metros, which are an example where the driver cost is a higher proportion than trains.

    Wouldn't eliminating first class seating kill profitability for many airlines? That's my understanding at least right now.

    Because to be honest I would much rather eliminate some predatory fees from low-cost carriers. The baggage fees being different (to the tune of 3x the price) at check in vs at the airport for example; or how the Ryanair website during check-in makes it seamlessly look like you have to choose your seat and pay the "choose your seat" fee. Unethical shit subsidizing the sticker price.

    Citizens of Tildes, I ask for your vote today, so that tomorrow the US shall be metric.

    Seriously, I genuinely think standardizing the US on the metric system fully and getting entirely rid of the imperial system (I'm coming for you next, UK, once you're done with the post-traumatic-brexit-disorder elections) would be a huge gain.
