It still solves one end of the problem. The cable problem probably needs enforcement from law side.

It’s eastern Poland tilting the scales to the far-right, despite all the nationalistic talk they are still pretty russified.

Like all dating apps they have a strong incentive to promote superficial short-term connections over long term relationships so they have repeated customers. The worst thing that can happen to a dating app is their users finding a long term partner.

In a prop that appears in several episodes and was carefully placed each time.

It’s clearly intended to be an obscure Easter Egg and not a big plot point, but regularly displaying that exact book is not accidental.

In other news, asking Nick Clegg before emptying out his home would kill the robbery industry.

That’s not inflation works. Inflation shouldn’t apply to everything at the same rate.

My first computer costed the equivalent to 1000 euros. Do you think the average desktop should cost 3000?

Who let them watch the Hunger Games?

Almost all dystopic sci-fi movies and books (including Blade Runner) are documentaries once you move past the visuals.

Brand recognition. Which apparently is the only thing that matters these days.

There have been former Google employees saying they had solutions to deal with SEO, but they were vetoed by the ads side of business, since better results reduce “engagement”.

If the war on terror counts as a world war, then we are at least on world war 10.

When this was proposed the idea was that one of tank can replace two trees and it can be put in corners that are too small for trees (and cars). When you consider the space for roots you can get at least one parking space per tank at the cost of making car-centric cities even more of an hell hole.

They get in the way of parking spots. The steel cages must rule supreme.

Let’s pretend for a second that the TSA is not a circus meant to appease people that are not paying too much attention being performed by an organisation that’s effectively an employer of last resort.

The TSA will not even stop people from taking what they would need to make a Molotov cocktail with what they can buy in the airport shop. Their stated goal is not to reduce the risk of incidents to 0 is reducing it to reasonable level with the least disruption to the air travelers as possible - otherwise they would be trying to get people to fly naked and without luggage.

You are seriously misunderstanding TSA’s purpose.

And the issue with wireless communications in airplanes was never that it was a huge risk by itself, it was always that there’s a small chance that it could increase noise enough that some important communication might potentially be missed or misinterpreted. And there are lots of things that factor in the risk, like power, bands, and the amount of people not following the rules - it’s very different to have one person forgetting to shut off the cellular signal on the phone or to have 200 phones on full blast mode trying to reach the nearest antenna.

All airplanes I’ve been in the last decade explicitly allow Bluetooth - and it’s very easy for the staff to see the dozens of people wearing wireless head/earphones. For WiFi it’s usually tied to the existence of on-board Internet.

You half answered your question. Different band and very different levels of signal strength.

And there are airplanes that allow wifi, just not all of them yet.

Given they don’t actually need farms to produce wine, the federation might see Chateau Picard as personal (as opposed to private) property that supports Jean Luc’s little hobby and preservation of traditional knowledge.

What else would they be trying to preserve? Notice they never tried to preserve strong unions, or high taxes for the rich.

This reminded me immediately of The Coffee Machine short story published last year. Reality manages to be stranger and weirder than fiction.
