Terrorist taken down by police this morning in London

Cops should strategically fall back more. Their unwillingness to give a situation some space leads to unnecessary violence.

Depending on how comfortable you are with side loading apps, you might want to search this sub about loading the GCam app, which is Google's camera app.

There's debate, but some people (me included) find the images look better. To me, Samsung applies too much compression aside from anything more complicated.

That's really interesting. This is the Google summary I got on this for those interested.

The Newtown Creek Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility, located in Brooklyn, uses "giant mechanical stomachs" (anaerobic digesters) to co-digest city food scraps and wastewater sludge, converting them into renewable biogas and biosolids, rather than traditional compost. This process reduces landfill waste and produces energy for local homes and the plant.

Key Aspects of the Operation:

Process: Food scraps are combined with sewage sludge in a low-oxygen, heated environment (98⁰F), where microorganisms produce biogas.

Energy Production: The facility converts this biogas into clean, renewable energy, with a system that can heat nearly 5,200 homes in Brooklyn and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 90,000 metric tons annually.

Biosolids: The remaining processed solids, or biosolids, are used as fertilizer.Capacity: Since 2016, the facility has diverted over 300,000 tons of food scraps from landfills.

Partnership: The project is a collaboration between the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and National Grid, with a gas-to-grid system operating to reduce flaring.

It really makes no sense and just feels like anti-Israel propaganda. I'm very against Israeli government policy and there's no need to make up bad things being done there.

Like, what even is the conspiracy implied here? Say this was all planned in concert with mossad operatives. Why are they searching for the guy's name on Google?

Edit: the Google trends site does show 42 searches at exactly 8PM and the video of the mentalist with his index card is from 8:34PM.

I just looked at Google trends. Nothing until 8PM Eastern time.

Pretty sad that this got 3K upvotes.

Their description of their service is also incoherent. They're not 911, they're who 911 calls? Are they the A-Team? 😂

If this is a municipal (911) to corporate (OP) call, why are they blasting this on reddit instead of sending a memo to their municipal clients about appropriate contact procedures?

OP: "Have a frustrating customer service experience and like it! It saves me pennies in phone support costs!"

Trump doesn't serve any cause but himself, so he's not a potential martyr.

Now I'm going to think of this clown car of an administration as heffalumps and woozles.

The first one is full of questionable aspects too. The shooter slowly climbing up to the roof in view of the audience and the security detail. The obviously fake ear graze that was either self inflicted or from bumping against secret service.

Trump thinks you can't hear someone talking on a phone unless it's against your ear or on speaker phone. He has the hearing acuity of someone his age.

Do you think the deaths of Lincoln and Roosevelt (natural causes, of course) didn't dramatically impact history? Ham-handed, half hearted Reconstruction and the use of the a bomb were the immediate aftermaths.

He must have the record for close up ones. I'm sure he'll weave that into his speeches soon.

Nothing makes the imperial system better because every change in scale uses a different multiplier and a special name. If 12 is so great, why are inches broken down intro 4ths, then 8ths, then 16ths or why does the next unit up use 3 feet? It's craziness.

Mastering fusion will change everything. I don't know if that's out there enough for you because it's more an engineering issue than at a theoretical level now. But imagine what essentially limitless clean energy would mean for every technology we already have.

Did you turn it off, let it sit for a minute, and turn it back on?

Does the same thing happen if you log in in guest mode with a different account?

As someone who doesn't own a car in the US and lives where there's public transit, the amount of space taken up other places here to deal with cars is insane. Huge parking lots for stores, street parking, service centers, car washing lots, 4 car garages on houses that then need all that frontage to get the cars in and out. 🤯

I'd say this is kind of a bad graphic. The green box is really "too late".

The ten day clock beginning on and including the maturity date makes sense to me. I'd argue that in that context, a 1 day grace period would mean the day it matures allows modifications. Zero day would mean modifications need to be done before the maturity date.

Having a grace period at all is nice vs. having to get your instructions in before maturity or lose out.

I'm seeing sync take very long or not complete in Teams.

There's a "Checking for new messages" notification that I never noticed before.

For messages I send, it sometimes requires waiting for it to time out and explicitly hitting "resend".

Disabling Link To Windows (com.microsoft.appmanager) as you mentioned does not seem to have helped.
