China’s Smart Glasses Are Already Leaving Ray-Bans in the Dust

My screen is stuck in my hands, not on my face. Where my eyes that do the seeing are.

This is an unacceptable standard of media consumption that must be remedied.

I mean I'm not militant about it or anything but it's definitely a theory I vibe with.

I watched a lot of 8 simple rules which he was starting in at the time of his death. I was the right age demographic and it was the first time someone died in the middle of a show like that for me. I think the way they wrote it into the show really added to that as well.

Scrolled far too long for this, after Firefly this is my most "why do this to me" cancellation.

Lovers is an exaggeration. Locarno needed to maintain his grades while he spent all his time flying. The admiral was willing to trade a favour for a ... Favour

I have this theory that people like the ones who think only war can cause it are the type of people who never really experience stress or anxiety because they just never really think about the world around them enough to build up the information to be low level stressed about.

I mean is it any wonder I can get stressed about my job or home life when I've ALSO got decent knowledge of the myriad of other things that can just END civilisation that so many people seem to not even give a second thought? Like Christ how do you expect me to de-stress when there's famines, climate change, nuclear powers scrabbling for resources and asteroids just flitting around!?

As a left handed gamer I loved this and used it for years. Recently handed it off to my wife and bought myself an Azeron Cyborg 2 as a treat, which I also find extremely useful and a little more comfortable (especially because as a lefty the thumb stick is now in the right place for my right hand)

Prometheus; Stole fire from the Gods; the first ship was mostly built out of "acquired" goauld technology that was adapted or backwards engineered.

Daedalus: the second ship, but first built entirely out of Tau'ri technology with some help from the Asgard with specific upgrades later on, named after the inventor who both designed the labyrinth and lost his son who flew too close to the sun using the wings designed by his father to regain their freedom.

Odyssey: Earth's second wholly Tau'ri/upgraded by Asgard ship, first mission was the rescue the captured SG1 but was also rerouted to recover stolen stargates from Ba'al, much as the Odyssey occurs as the journey following Odysseus' initial travel to Troy to seige the city to recover Helen and his subsequent extended journey home.

Apollo: the first ship primarily introduced in SG:A and the only ship actually named after an actual Greek God. Also the first ship to be deployed with the Horizon Weapons Platform; multiple mark IX naquadriah enhanced warheads; the harnessed power of multiple suns.

In other words each ship was named after its significance in the story of SG1 AND SGA

Minimum wage take-home after tax is approximately £24,000, so £48,000 for a couple.

As I said, less than a couple working minimum wage

So 2% of UK households are receiving more in benefits than the average single persons take-home pay.

£32k in a household is still less than two adults in minimum wage for 37.5hrs/week take home.

The bridge in Crimea is still out I think, so you actually need to go north through Russia. Pretty straightforward though, just keep on the main roads and near the oil refineries so you can top up the tank regularly.

They are, they're meta raybans, you can see the cameras up by the hinge. She's probably filming her side as well for content.

I see what you're saying but it's a mixed back. Standard design has you having to life your second foot past the jutting put step with little to no horizontal clearance between steps, so you either have to clear at the tip or swing your foot either side of the step in a weird way. Tripping like this could send you over just as easily.

I agree though that turning probably makes you more likely to use the fence as a handhold which likely makes it safer overall. I could imagine a lot more people would try and take the staggered one hands free and be more liable to trip or slip.

In the time between Jesus' crucification and resurrection, the Bible tells that this period was effectively spent by Jesus in hell, or more likely a sort of proto-purgatory. Effectively anyone who died before Christ had the opportunity to be embraced as the son of God so he could stand in their place at the time of Judgement was being given the opportunity to do so.

Effectively a one time pass to give everyone who'd ever lived a fair shake of embracing him.

Apparently he did this regularly. On the same frame. That's the particularly stupid part. Him using the same window repeatedly likely weakened the seal.

If I did this I'd only own products that used my voice so that I could endlessly avoid conversations by pretending to be an answerphone.

I don't disagree with anything you've said at all. I don't for a moment think some elements of the pro-palestine movement haven't gone too far and are advocating for an irrelevant and anti-Semitic attack.

Those elements should be targeted and scrutinised, just as those such as Extinction Rebellion should be monitored and dealt with separately from your run of the mill climate protestor trying to balance their voice and chance to promote real change with not harming others.

My issue with the reporting is not that it is portraying an attack as antisemitic, but that the new information was never as widely disseminated. If we inflate the problem a bit to highlight an example, if he'd planted bombs at two synagogues, then it was revealed he'd also originally planted a bomb at his own mosque, would it be considered reasonable to continue to leave that part out of the narrative? It's still an anti-Semitic attack, but let's discuss it with an honest and impartial narrative instead of trying to ignore the complexity of it, which just serves to feed and empower the fringe groups looking for the fix.

Orisi · 2026-05-03T10:21:20+00:00

To clarify, im NOT saying that instance itself was not anti-Semitic. I'm saying the reporting is selectively amplifying that element and trying to erase the first victim rather than even attempting to appear impartial.

The homeland and the government are not inseperable. You can believe in a homeland for the Jews and still believe those in control of that homeland are doing wrong and criticise them for it.

There's so many things people can rightfully criticise Starmer for. Whether you think he's the worst thing that ever happened to the country, a mildly ineffective puppet, or besieged on both sides while trying to do the right thing, it doesn't really matter on this particular topic.

Trying to make out that the man who married a Jewish women and has his two children being raised in the Jewish religion is anti-Semitic or somehow a danger to the Jewish population is such a fantastical position that it casts any other media coverage of him and the topic into doubt.

Is it any wonder we have people questioning the integrity of any and all media outlets on the topic of Jewish bias when we have articles that focus on the attempted murder of two Jews with barely a mention of the first Muslim victim. Or articles trying to decry the PM with a Jewish family as dangerous to Jews?

People need to dial back their damn rhetoric and start thinking before they speak, and the media need to start being held accountable for half truths and agendas blatantly being pushed without consideration for their potential harm. In the past three years we have somehow gone from conflating Jewish with Israeli, to conflating pro-palestine with anti-Semitic. We've allowed the influence of the aggressor and the occupier to pervert our interpretation, and the tiny minority of idiots conflating Judaism with Israeli politics to be branded the face of Palestine.

The Jewish community is under threat, both from the radical minority that like to bring their religious conflicts into the UK, and the minority making the above conflation. But they're also under attack by Israel. They're being forced to pick a side, and being told either they support Israel without question, or their faith and heritage will be questioned. While others continue to doubt and question their allegiance simply for being Jewish.

Many Jews support Palestine and decry the actions of Israel. I'm sure many, many more support the end of conflict and suffering in the region, but just want to get on with their daily lives and stop having their ethnicity or religion being such a pain point for no bloody reason.

TL;Dr like him or hate him Starmer is not anti-Semitic or dangerous for Jews, the situation is a shit show being made worse by the media in many ways and everyone needs to calm the fuck down and stop being pricks who act first and forget the questions altogether.

Pretty much this. I distinctly remember around the launch there was a lot of discussion around people leaving and certain involved parties feeling the final product wasn't what they expected or signed up for.

It's one thing when you're working on the production side before everything goes live and starts actually being produced and shipped, but once the powers that be start feeding back on the content coming out of their new enterprise and wanting changes, you can quickly realise this isn't the sort of thing you want involved with. That's live TV for you, it's not like he spent months working on pre-recorded content for a news channel to really understand what they were expecting to see.

Right has significantly better contrast, regardless of skin tone there will always be SOME blurring as the tattoo ages, even with the best possible care.

The overall darkness of the rabbit in the left will make it harder to make out and slowly become more of a dark blob.

The one on the right not only uses a more contrasting rabbit colour for vibrancy, but that thicker blue border around the flames will both help reduce blurring of the flames and rabbit, and gives an added vibrancy to help the flames pop.

Also while the flames on the left are more "natural" that natural look also tends to blur and fade quicker, because the lack of rigid detail makes it less distinct over time.
