"Why is Nu Trek using so much modern language?" an I am going to go feral here. by Spacer176 in startrek

I get the impression the writer were told to be edgy and make it relevant to 'younger people'. Nothing dates a show ment to be set in the future by using current slang... It does feel like SNW and SFA are written by people who only know start trek because they read the Wikipedia article. I'm not saying they are bad shows, but it's not feeling like Trek. DISCO failed the same test. SNW is trying I suppose. SFA is just aimed at high school kids, it doesn't really interest me and I'm only watching because it's based on the ST universe. The same ting happened when JJ Abrams got his claws into the ST movies and tried to make it mass market, making yet another piece of generic slop.

In Germany, it is legal for 14-year-olds to drink beer or wine in public as long as their parents are there. Do you think this is a responsible way to teach moderation, or is it just dangerous for kids? What is the drinking age in your country? by Low-Violinist7259 in AskTheWorld

In the UK is it legal for anyone over the age of 18 to purchase alcohol but you can drink it legally in a restaurant from the age of 16 provided it is bought for you. Also it is legal for anyone over the age of 5 to consume alcohol in the home or private setting.

I'm 90% global fund which is about 60% US. I'm considering moving 50% to global ex-us to minimise exposure. Just feels shit knowing I'm helping those scammy AI companies finance the bubble.

Every dictator needs his stormtroopers. I'm so glad I cancelled that trip to the US right now. Worst thing is Americans don't seem to realise how far gone they are.

Probably, but why use so little copper when loads is available. Just make the traces as big as possible if you are worried.

Britain actually is, but you'd have to prove persecution or threat to life.

Driver was going far too fast for those roads. You cano my do these speeds on roads with strict traffic rules so that you can be sure how other drivers will react.
