The OP goes on to genuinely talk about the advantage of being able to leave when they desire (usually only attending day 1), and the observation that their leaving early was worthwhile, as they were first in line to access the car parking a

You legitimated Hamas when Starmer recognised a Palestinian state - *in the middle of a war* - nearly two years after October 7 - while Hamas still have hostages ...it ABSOLUTELY legitimises them, and rewards them for their attacks on Oct

Let's take (over) 65,000 starts distributed since 2000 on the Carl's friends site[1] - and call it 65k for rounding. That's 65k starters, with your negative unhelpful comment assuming $0.05 / 5¢ "profit" per st

From the creator: "It’s not open source and you need the backend for it to work." They alluded to open sourcing the software/API if the business ever goes under, but obviously that'd not guaranteed. Such a shame, I'

They're trying to denounce the racial aspect of likelihood of being targeted/prosecuted, by going "African Americans are more likely to be involved in crime already" - which is also inherent on racial biases and profilin

Yes, and if person A and B are white American and African American, the AA smoker is much more likely to be actually arrested, rather than given a warning, etc. at the officer's discretion. Dog whistles about unknowns like previous con

So it's a plate matcher, not a "license plate to VIN decoder" - there is no "decoding" between plate and VINm so it's inaccurate. Interesting that you resort to downvoting basic facts... Also, is it "I&quo

The license plate isn't incorporated into the VIN in any form though, so this is demonstrably -- and literally -- not decoding. "Identifier" or "Finder" maybe, but not in any way a decoder... A "VIN decoder&q

If you're going to mess with capitalization for the title, it would be better ending with "than two Pi 4s" for pluralization -- there is no "Pi 4S" model.

Yes and no -- yes, theoretically the output should only be based on the input - if you input 1+3 instead of 1+2, the answer given should be 4, not 3. Optimization exists though, and an interface and search algorithm isn't a simple calc

The information can be collected anyway under legitimate interest provisions, which is (a) already listed and discussed, and (b) the relevant cookies have their own opt-outs. The GA add-on is purely about that same data being passed to GA -
