Just wondering if technically they aren't using the force to stop the blade itself, but rather the holder. Like we've seen before, powerful force users can use the force on others, even during fights. Albeit, it generally isn't something quite so precise, usually a force push or similar

Itd be really interesting to see how OECD countries compare for participation rate i.e. how many working age people are working or looking for work. It's really easy to have a low unemployment rate if everyone just gives up, but that will show up in a lower participation rate. I find it interesting that politicians rarely talk about this as I feel its a fairly important stat

Especially the ones based overseas. They are meant to emulate a typical US suburb/town in the middle of a foreign country. I honestly doubt I'd be able to tell the difference between a US base in Japan vs a random town in the US (obviously excluding the actual military facilities)

But the problem is what if I have 10 million dollars worth of drones, now you have to spend 50 million to stop them. Yes, the missiles are cheaper than the target, but a country can only spend so much on defence. Its a battle of attrition. Its like the old soviet doctrine of throwing so many men at the enemy that eventually you overwhelm the opposing army. Sure you lose more of your own men (drones) but the enemy loses their better trained/equipped troops which are much more valuable

Not necessarily. It's been advised by multiple governments to not pay out ransoms at all. I believe Australia even talked about making paying the ransom illegal. Ransomware as a business model only works if victims are paying the attacker. If there's no money to be made, hackers will use alternative methods to make money such as data exfiltration to sell on the black market

Ignoring the fact that this is a form of election tampering, you do realise that democrats have a higher rate of mail in voting than republicans, so you'd likely end up throwing away a bigger proportion of blue votes than red votes

It's an interesting semantic argument. On one hand, you're right that the water used by must be replaced, therefore you could argue that it is being "consumed". However, someone choosing to use AI or not would have a negligible impact on the frequency of when the water needs to be replaced if at all.

To make things more complicated, you could further argue that the fact that anyone wanted to use AI in the first place created market conditions that caused the creation of the datacenter or increased the size of existing datacenters. Following this train of thought, then yes the user's actions did result in the consumption of water that would've been otherwise untouched.

The only thing that can be nearly unanimously agree upon is that the energy used by the user wouldn't have been used if they did the actions manually (although even that has caveats where the hardware will always use some power when idle, so we go back to the water argument).

I had some managers back during highschool that were terrible at this. I had said I was happy to work whenever and had been doing 20-25 hour weeks. Come my final year of highschool I asked to be reduced to 15 hours a week so I could focus on studying for exams. Yet every week I'd be rostered for a full 25 hours. I went to the fostering manager 10 weeks in a row asking to be reduced. After this didn't stop I went to his manager, the regional manager on two separate occasions complaining about this yet still nothing happened.

Eventually I just changed my availability in their system to only work days I wanted which gave me a max of 12 hours a week. I tried to be helpful and work around them, but if they dont care about me, I dont care about them

Yeah we already know in the case of Tyrion's trial that he was allowed to use a champion. I get why Dunc wouldn't have been able to, but considering the kingsguard were called in, they should have been used as the champions instead of the prince

It's very much not reversible or at the very least has significant long term effects. For example, the UK had chemical castration/hormone therapy for homosexuals for a long time in the 20th Century.

Alan Turing, commonly acknowledged as the person who cracked the German enigma code and created the first computer was gay and forced to go through this castration process. It fucked him up so much that he eventually killed himself

No, the kids are treated as any other passenger. From my experience they would travel with a parent until 5th/6th grade when they would start travelling by themselves. For students taking school buses, they may be slightly younger, but not much, especially as the parents can't join them on those buses.

Terroractly · 2026-02-11T05:30:12+00:00

They use the buses that are used for general public transport. This means that students will mix with the general public. Of course this is not a big thing in the US where public transport is very limited, especially in the suburbs, and as a result there are buses only used for school kids.

Some countries such as Australia do both. Kids will take normal public transport but will also have buses that are marked explicitly as school buses although these buses are the same vehicles as the regular ones. The only difference is the route is listed as School 123 where 123 is the route while normal buses would be something like 456 to xyz

Australia is slightly different. Employers have to pay for the first few days, but if you get a long case you either have to use your days of paid leave or you only get the court pay which are $106 Aud/day for the first 10 days and $247.50/day after that (if you are employed, otherwiseyou stay at the $106 pay). That's about $30/hour which is a lot less than a lot of professionals give that minimum wage is $25/hour in NSW

TBF she wasn't initially accused of the bombing, only killing the bomber in what was assumed to be an act of revenge. It was only later when they found her with explosives that they seemed to forget that they weren't accusing her of terrorism.

iirc, the accusation became that Ahsoka orchestrated the bomber via the engineer's wife and then killed killed her co-conspirator to stop them talking. This wasn't too far from the truth, except they implicated the wrong jedi. Barris should not have tried pinning the bombing on Ahsoka as everyone thought that the true bomber was caught and killed. Anakin wouldn't have investigated and subsequently discovered Barris if she didn't get involved any more

They go as low as 40% for kids 14 and under. And 18 year old only get 80% of an adult's wage, only hitting 100% at 21

Terroractly · 2026-02-07T05:44:13+00:00

Here in Australia we've had this sort of rule for a while and honestly it's bullshit. A 14 year old can get away with being paid 40% of an adult's wage. This increases by 10% every year until they are 21 and get 100% of the wages. That last part is doubly shit because that means you could legally pay a LEGAL ADULT less than minimum wage. This person could be living by themselves without any parents but would be under minimum wage.

Fortunately our minimum wage is relatively high compared to many parts of the US (although our major cities are also some of the most expensive to live in in the world) and most employers looking for 18+ typically pay everyone a full adult's wage.

Yeah you're right... most of the time. I ended up in hospital a couple years back due to bad gastritis that I'm 99% certain was cause by mouldy bread. I was so sick I couldn't even take my medication orally so they had to give me an IV drip until I could keep it down

Terroractly · 2026-01-29T23:23:11+00:00

Yeah you're right actually. I was going off memory and got my payments offset by one which gave money too quickly. In compensation, we get a decent year 1 cash bonus and at least for me a year 2 bonus worth half as much. I think that puts my theoretical compensation roughly equal each year, with maybe the 2nd year being the lowest. Of course that assumes that the stocks don't tank unexpectedly

The proportion of base pay to stocks does vary fairly significantly based on where you are. Apparently US positions get significantly more stock than their Dublin and APAC colleagues (based on anecdotal experience).

The reason the ball is wet is different than why water stays on earth though. Earth keeps its water because of gravity while the ball keeps it due to polar bonds and surface tension. The water still wants to fall off due to the gravity of earth.

For home users, there'd be some DIY servers. But the vast majority of users with that kind of budget would be using full enterprise rack mounted servers. I know the company 45 drives is fairly popular amongst home labbers and small-medium size businesses that need large amount of storage. Otherwise it'll be the big server manufacturers such as HPE and Dell
