I've not read the original article either, but the only conclusion I can come to from that short paragraph is that the sticky bomb was thrown into the car and the reporter threw it out to save his and his team's lives.

These "poetic and smooth" ads just remind me of what a sad farce this world is and why we as a society deserve what the dinosaurs got.

They all look fine to me on a 17" screen tbh. I couldn't give 2 shots about professional photography, and neither could 90% of the people viewing your Instagram. That's pretty much the age we live in, the best Youtube videos,

The direction of online advertising was super precise targeting, but that was abandoned long before privacy became important, for some reason. Even related ads on Amazon by Amazon are 99% trash, which is incredible.

This is an argument you can't win in my experience. I don't know why some people are so adamant I bought something because of advertising... And I mean the "shotgun" ads - on TV, radio, online, in papers, etc All of th

I don't know about the US, but there's a major push to move to electronic payments around the EU. Bank accounts are free, terminals are dirt cheap, even the poorest get contactless cards. Not to mention that cash+coin machines tha

What does that even have to do with this thread? But w/e, the diet you're looking for is keto - zero carbs, which incidentally is mostly from grain, works. Meat and fat alone do not cause obesity, but together with carbs they fatt

Bold move... I've resorted to smoking because I can't buy eliquid for vaping heh. On that note there was a whole thread on Reddit with people saying they might kill themselves if lockdowns go on for months. That would be hilarious

You're right, mostly imo. I don't know where you're from, but where I grew up meat was an occasional food. The diet was mostly vegetables/fruits/grain, with meat from hens/ducks once a month or so, cows and pi

There's simply no way a small sensor+lens can capture enough light, that's why even old DSLRs have higher picture quality (esp. sharpness/clarity) than the newest smartphones.

I actually like the "borders" on top and bottom, makes it easier to hold and use the phone. That said, Apple is really taking the piss with these displays. Just like the iPhone 11, not only is the resolution laughable (Apple used

There was a "big reset" in 2008-2009 in affiliate marketing. Many small networks did go under, but spending has quickly increased to previous levels and beyond. Most of that traffic is trash, yet companies still pay a lot for it.

The bigger problem is people coming from the UK are testing positive... They're imposing this "plan" on everyone else without a care.

Meanwhile, people returning from the UK to the EU are being tested positive for Covid-19... So, maybe the strategy (if it is one) works, but the UK is imposing it on everyone else without a care.
