Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.

You nailed it

Pop!_OS is the next big

Yes Daddy uwu

Yay!

This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?

If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.

EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)

This is great, honestly.

If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.

And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn’t fit any longer with what our digital age has become.

In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don’t teach enough.

The number one thing I noticed after installing Linux on my old macbook was that the battery life was immediately halved.

I totally expected that to happen, though, because my previous experience had always been that power management on Linux was kinda terrible.

Time to try this out and see!

It was weird to me too.

In fairness to the author, I can find a way to speak those two words aloud in a way that works, and sounds like something someone could genuinely say, but that requires a pretty specific stress and pitch.

You’re already!

But the first time you read the words it’s just not going to come out like that.

And that’s the problem. As a writer you can’t just put words on the page the same way you yourself might speak them, and expect people to read it that way. The spoken word does not translate perfectly to writing.

You need to have an awareness of how people are likely to parse the words on the page, and choose wording that doesn’t cause people to trip or stumble, even if it isn’t the exact phrasing you’d use in organic speech.

The comic fails on that at the final line.

You answered your own question. If OP can’t use it, maybe they’ll buy a subscription, thinks Adobe.

Super scummy.

Right, and what I’m saying is there’s basically zero incentive for corporations to ever take action, because SAYING you will be doing it has all the image, PR and revenue benefits, but without needing to even ACTUALLY do it. And then later you just quietly forget about it, like this.

The only way companies will ever take action is if governments legally mandate them to (and even then maybe not!)

Yep. Any promised future targets are just marketing hype.

Then: “Eco-friendly is really trending now, we’ll base our image around that”

Now: “It’s more profitable to drop the eco targets, so were dropping them”

Nice answer.

To put this into real-example terms, when you buy something like a box of name-brand cereal, that will have the same barcode everywhere it is sold in the country, because it’s literally printed on the box from the factory, and it is unique by manufacturer so there is no reason to change it.

But when you buy a head of broccoli, the product has come from lots of different farms, and if it has a barcode at all it would be applied by the store themselves when it’s prepared for sale. This means Safeway would probably have a different product code for broccoli than Walmart does, but all Safeway stores would use the same for broccoli as they belong to the same chain.

They are all brilliant

The design is so convenient for someone to pull off the ‘outside’ part of the sticker.

I almost threw up a little in my mouth at this image

Oh, absolutely. My line to the court was rather dramatised for effect :)

What you’d really argue is that since your penis size is not public knowledge, then no matter whether your actual penis is big or small, the writer’s description has no bearing on the ability of the public to recognise the person being defamed as clearly you. Therefore, the accuracy or inaccuracy of the size described in writing can be simply dismissed as immaterial, with no need to inspect your pants for the truth.

Not only those points, but there’s another obvious reason it couldn’t work, too.

For any libel case to be successful, the key premise is clearly to show “This person described in writing is obviously meant to be me”

Unless you are someone whose penis size is public knowledge, then describing it as big or small doesn’t contradict other identifying details because nobody knows how big it really is.

So you can safely say “I actually have an enormous penis, your honour, but the defendant, the writer, was likely unaware of this”

Yes

My banking apps work fine on Calyx.

Banking apps normally check for rooted phones as the thing they don’t like. Because pixels come with an unlocked bootloader, you don’t need to root the phone to install a custom ROM, and so banking apps are still okay.
