It's ok to disagree. If the SCOTUS decision in question had any wording to the tune of "the EU-US data transfers need to stop," it would be fitting to say that the "US Supreme Court Just Blew Up EU-US Data Transfers.&quo

You could both be right: Shrems III could be in the works, and TLA could be presenting their legal analysis as an established fact. In other words, (a) no, the "US Supreme Court" didn't "Just Bl[ow] Up EU-US Data Tra

This might be a by-product of how you define what “Europe” is, though.

The Gentleman is a great starter watch, enjoy!

Reliable pretty much yes; serviceable -- depends on your definition of that. For about USD 200, Tissot will take care of your watch and send it back to you in a working condition. Note that they will probably replace the whole movement. F

Good starting points for first Swiss mechanical are Tissot, Hamilton, Mido, or Certina. They all belong to the same conglomerate (the Swatch Group). The "gateway drug" these days seems to be Tissot PRX. Their quartz models are abo

Seiko 5 and Seiko 5 GMTs are great, but Orient is also a worthy contender.

Casio Oceanus S100 is made of titanium, adjusts itself over the radio[0], understands 29th of February, sets itself on/off DST, never needs tinkering or battery change, and sells for a whooping $350. It's the watch you can set all

All of that is technically correct, however my non-Amazon readers (Sony, Nook, ...) reached the end of their useful life when their batteries died or their screens broke. All of them were "unsupported" at that stage (3-4 years aft

I don't understand how it's related. I am a daily player, I have scanned something once, the rewards were minuscule, I never did it again. I have that specific vivillon which was hard to get because not many players were from the

VSCode is a Microsoft product (as is Excel, mentioned elsewhere) and Microsoft products work best on Microsoft platforms. Mac is not a Microsoft platform though.

Same on a Mac: I've never used a function key in the last … 15 years or so? Where the author uses Alt-F4, I use ⌘W. I didn't even hate the Touch Bar (but not exactly used it either.)

The biggest issue with saturation diving is not the pressure or the health impact, it's the fact that you share a tiny space with 3-6 other people for a month. This might be the opposite of living in Alaska where you share a really h

The Chicago Manual indeed advises against spaces, but it’s written for books. AP Stylebook — that recommends spaces — is for papers. Comments are an even shorter form, so they’re closer to AP than to Chicago. When I go to print, I use hairs

Both my computer and my phone replace two dash symbols with an em dash, and have been doing so since well before the invention of AI. The GP’s post history suggests they have some touch with typography.

They also have no spaces around the em dash. Must be followers of Chicago Manual of Style (and not AP Stylebook.)
