Is it my imagination or has France lately been trying hard to be more noticeable on the world stage? I feel as if the soured sub deal pissed them off. Now they seem to be wanting to be seen as a bigger world power.

Samsung had a great touchscreen phone too in the late 1990s. I can't find it or recall the same of it. The phone was similar to the IBM Simon only it was silver with a green monochrome screen. I think it had a PDA and MP3 capabilities

When you get some new device and it says leave plugged in for 12 hours to charge first before using, but you don't. I have to wonder with JWST I bet there is a desire to try to have a sneak peek. But I guess calibration is automated so

That's what I don't get did Spotify hand Rogan a bucket of cash or is there a contract with clauses that can end the contract. That would seem to be obvious and the point of a contract. It would be nice to know how much Rogan is c

Some people in central Canada I have spoken with actually don't know that where I live is a Canadian province. They've never heard of it. Plus time zones too they said they thought it ended at Eastern time but there are two more t

Canada has one a territory out of three and that one territory is 20% bigger than Alaska. And only 36,000 people live there.

In Canada we'd have to convert Big Mac to the cost of how many Tim's double-doubles for it to make sense.

As others have alluded to it's not just to play a game it's also a social thing. I can't think of any other social activity I was involved in outside my home as a teenager. I was shy, quiet, no friends etc. but at an arcade t

This gave me a flashback I recall that when I was quite young about age 10 - 13 and I created my own writing system. I think I had read about the Phoenicians and how they made the characters for the alphabet after everyday objects and it in

The problem is it's the Joe Rogan Experience a show but people are seeing or hoping it's something intellectual but it's not. On every show the topic is Joe Rogan whether people believe that or not.

Russia took Crimea in 2014, Russia controls much of Donetsk, Luhansk in the east and 14,000 Ukrainians have died so far. I get a kick out of people who say Russia won't invade. They did! Putin is like Xi they consider Russians and Chin

Thank you. And yes I even printed off some peer-reviewed studies about IPF and Metformin for Dad to take with him to the doctor. The doctor would "look into it" but I suspect that Dad who was not great at anything technical would

Not even research chemicals my Dad had IPF and from what I could find Metformin was a promising off-label cure. But there was no way to try it. People get desperate sometimes not even the people who are sick but their caregivers. My dad pas

Whoever decided to implement the mouse-over thumbnail preview for open apps on Taskbar needs to a whack to the head with a rolled up newspaper. It's incredibly aggravating having all these small windows popup when you're busy. Mos

This is as bad as the disastrous Wakefield Autism "study". People will deny alcohol is bad for them for the next 100 years even with multiple studies showing the results.

Another example is "launch control" pointless and dangerous on public roads. Any injuries or deaths from that I'd argue liability is 50/50 driver and manufacturer. Maybe even 33/33/33 driver, manufacturer, and

Weight, finances, like anything tracking it makes you aware. I started counting calories eight years ago (Jan 11, 2014) I do it at the end of each day. I did find that tracking my weight (or my spending) makes me modify my behaviour. Even e

You could bundle welfare, food stamps, other social programs, medicare, etc. add a tax break/no tax for anyone making less than $20K. Put it all into one system and call it UBI. You the tax payer are still paying the same thing.

I've also seen within the same organization how such people are treated. For example janitorial workers. At an old workplace of mine there were three shifts of at least two workers three during the day. Then they were cut to just one w
