    OK, here's why I'm countering this, because I think you misunderstand the situation. 1 in 4 women get sexually assaulted as an adult at some point in their lives. 1 out of every 4 women you've ever met will have been sexually assaulted. Just think about that for a moment, how many people that...

    Do you have any numbers on how often that *actually* happens? And, by contrast, how many go unreported precisely because they're afraid of not being believed? And, for that matter, how many get reported but never get anywhere? Don't smear the majority because of the acts of the minority.

    Some very fancy illusions

    I give you this. I'm quite impressed - while it's obviously done on video and that gives you a lot of room for manipulation that you wouldn't have 'live', I find what he's done here to be quite impressive.

    In other words, you'd be using Tesla Autopilot exactly the way Tesla tells you to do so...

    BBC's Tim Davie claims most households happy at being forced to pay the license fee

    No. When politics was still mostly run by people with honour, the BBC was able to be more impartial. Now they've been actively leaned on by the Tories to be complicit - with the threat of no funding dangling over their heads - they can't be impartial. nVidia is complicated because it's not...

    BBC's Tim Davie claims most households happy at being forced to pay the license fee

    The funding model is why they're no longer impartial, though. Watch BBC Question Time and tell me they're impartial, with a straight face. In particular, how often non Tory voters are hushed/silenced, how often Brexit studiously and carefully avoided as a cause of anything, and how often Labour...

    So, money *can* actually buy happiness after all, who knew?

    I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I have pity for the rich people. I know a few - as in, am on first name terns with people who are multi-millionaires. They fret so much about money, far far more than I ever did. It actively makes them unhappy to keep trying to make more, while at the...

    We have 4 laptops from this manufacturer, this is the third one purchased out of that four, and the other three have basically been tanks. Willing to bet this is just unfortunate.
