Not exactly sure what this is. But I'm so excited to play Worms with my kids when they're old enough. My sister and I _endlessly_ played the same level in a worms 2 demo almost 30 years ago.

Even the “pre-case” legal stuff is out of control. In my Australian organisation we’ve noticed a deluge of what I can only call “privacy demands” that talk the talk… but have the jurisdiction or subject legislation wrong. But AI told them t

I’ve never even thought about this - what does the EU get as a country that it can’t get with its current structure?

I don't think it's necessary to have wants or plans in place when you point out this kind of thing. You should also be careful about taking imagined positions to the extreme ..."Does that we mean we should have also canceled

What a strange article. It launders core parenting care tasks such as clipping toenails, toilet training, teaching your kid to ride a bike and just being there while they explore their space in with things I don’t think anyone would object

YT can be/was empowering for the viewer. Product choices have made it far more of a pointless timesuck and consumer hostile but it still remains the place where I can find a video of a guy taking the front off the same model dishwasher

You can do that, once, if you want to trigger an avalanche of realignment away from the U.S. Not only would you lose the 450 million odd EU customers, but the rest of the world will reconsider doing business with you as well.

I live in Australia and local governments are too small and cause idiotic delays to things. They’re always being taken to administrative tribunals and losing and the state government periodically has to suspend their planning powers to make

Come really, really far south (to Australia) and you’ll find we don’t require voter ID. Frankly it’s easy to dunk on the U.S. for a lot of things and it’s very short term gratifying to do so but don’t let yourself fall in to the trap of ass

Weak reforms, I'm disappointed and will write to my MP to express that sentiment. Frankly all advertising for gambling on TV, radio, social media, bus stops - everywhere - should be banned the same as we did for cigarette ads in the 90

Interesting thing to tell people - this means any change of heart or apology from Marc should be viewed purely through a cold realist self interest lens and not be afforded any of the trappings of humanity. Don’t anthropomorphise the lawnmo
