Because otherwise it would be totally believable

I think they meant 100% of the explosions were munitions, not 100% of the munitions exploded. 'Twas a joke.

You might use this what-if as a starter.

At the start of the scenario, the entire Earth’s population has been magically transported together into one place.

This crowd takes up an area the size of Rhode Island.

For me it’s also the breadth of people there.

Just make sure you make a backup from your syncthing clones, so an accidental delete/mess-up on one machine doesn’t wipe out every copy!

Put your eye in the beam and tell me that again…

Luckily, not if you actually read the article. The headline is misleading. “Emotional advertising” is a marketing gimmick term by LG for guessing your personality from the shows you watch.

The gay makes you ads

A book.

Or expensive.

This is actually about analysing the shows you watch, so it’s invasive, but not insidious in the way, say, the screenshots of hdmi content is.

Good idea, though, this isn’t actually about cameras watching you as the title looks like.

“And we will be sending your new credit car in the mail sometime next week, sir.”

“Sorry, do you mean, credit card?”

“I didn’t misspeak, sir. How big is your mailbox…”

The worst is it costs a $2.64 surcharge each time to open, and then the luggage asks you to tip it!

The title misled me here, I think. It sounded like an indictment that Temu stopped showing Google ads in its product then its ranking in Google Play dropped, but I don’t think it’s that.

Sounds like Temu was paying for ads to get users, and without those ads people stopped turning to it for shopping. Also,

The timing coincided with the Trump administration’s hardened stance on Chinese imports, raising tariffs to 125%

Perhaps the actual main factor.

I think there’s a richness in being able to shift or emphasize perspective like that. And a poetry, for want of a better word, that comes with that.

‘Coming’ and ‘going’ do the same shift. “I’m coming to Europe; they’re coming from Europe,” feels just a bit stilted to me, though that’s subjective I suppose.

If you want to get rid of immigrate Vs emigrate, maybe we just talk about ‘migrate’.

And scrap ‘coming’ and ‘going’ for ‘moving’.

I just have to point out, in an argument about language pedantry,

an very simple language

“The presidential broadcast today is signed with the words, Tourniquet Faster Inedible Swan Shelf Overturn Cactus. Alternatively, please scan the following Morse Code with your device…”

Why?
