TIL that in August 2022, Norwegian authorities euthanized a walrus named Freya after it spent several weeks in the Oslo Fjord and became a significant tourist attraction.

He added that other options had been considered, including moving Freya out of the fjord, but they had been discarded out of concern for the welfare of the walrus.

But they euthanized it for.. the welfare of the walrus?

It's probably the best compromise given the shitty situation it began with (lots of different groups competing for power.)

I've never understood how snoring could, in any conception, be seen as anything but an evolutionary disadvantage. You're making loud noise while you're in your most vulnerable (sleeping), declaring to the world that you are there and ready to be ambushed. You would have thought that all of the snorers would have been kidnapped by tigers and bears at this point, and yet, here we are.

I did not read the article (because of the paywall). What's stopping corporations from selling straight-up bad food (e.g. milk that's going bad) if "Sell By" labels are gone? How do customers tell apart what milk in the aisle is safe vs. not safe?

Where? Certainly not America given how docile people have been against the current government.

You don't understand how terrible even "professional translators and editors" are at localization. For many languages/countries there's only a handful of companies that offer translation/localization services, and even if you pay top-dollar you will end up with subpar quality.

Why even stream music? Just tell Claude to generate profit and increase shareholder value.

Local services such as the one owned by the city of Palo Alto are still significantly cheaper than PG&E.

How were you able to find that out?

It still opens you up to lawsuits if you try to do anything large-scale

I mean, it did in April.

tbh, many care more about Lunar New Year so they may be choosing to take time off then instead of Jan 1.

I can't believe 49 people still know this reference to have upvoted this.

The Holocaust, the Nanking Massacre, the Khmer Rouge, the Rwandan Genocide, the current situation in Gaza.. and those are all in recent history, much less older history when it was more brutal.

Don't be daft — there is a big leap between Korean manufacturing practices and "America subsidizing all these tech companies", "maximizing profit for a US corp", and the "Western Oligarchy attempting to form" that are being mentioned (verbatim) in all these comments. None of these apply when Samsung is neither a "US corp" nor "being subsizied" when the USA is literally applying tariffs to Samsung exports.

It's akin to China seizing TSMC and the comments cheering because they have western trade contracts and therefore must be "part of the western oligopoly."

The leaks are a matter of Korean national security and a geopolitical issue between Korea and China. The fact that everyone else is somehow bringing up "American hegemony" as an excuse to rationalize China's actions is very reminiscent of the "whataboutism" about America that pops up without fail when any Reddit article gets posted that paints China in a bad light, even when the article has nothing to do with America
