I was about to dismiss that out of hand, presuming you just didn't know the film, but I think you're right. His face is too wide, and the hairline doesn't match the original footage.

I'm simultaneously impressed by a pretty slick edit, and bewildered that anyone would put in the effort

Edit: and now I look like an idiot, because OP swapped the gif for a original. I swear guys, it was uncanny

They haven't hijacked that, it's their turn to chair it. The core members of that council take turns to do that.

You do realise that the key reason for that council to exist is so that nuclear armed powers talk to each other, right? However much we may disapprove of Russia's wartime policies, the council is doing its job so long as there's neutral ground where everyone else can talk to them about it rather than getting itchy trigger fingers

Because you might accidentally do something which breaks the system, or you might run a program which does something malicious without your knowledge.

By gating dangerous (or protected for any other reason) commands behind sudo, you create a barrier which is difficult to accidentally cross

Why shouldn't they? Nose and toes do rhyme.

It's possible there's some accent I can't immediately think of where they don't, but all of the accents which come to mind use the same sound in both cases

It's a matter of perspective. To someone who's job is to write the system which interprets ASM, ASM is high level

You're mostly correct, but hilariously even all that wouldn't be good enough because water behaves differently at different scales. Surface tension would dominate in a miniature model, and the water would be trying to stick to everything in a way which oceans simply don't do

In principle they could have pulled out slightly, if there's jostling and tiny movements in skull then you'd expect them to work loose over time if they're not securely anchored

The Artemis 1 launch was also staggeringly expensive, and yet to be repeated.

In the time it's taken to develop that rocket, SpaceX has gone from it's very first real flight (by which I mean actually achieving something, rather than a pure test flight) to launching far more every year than the entire rest of the world combined. Note that by that definition, Artemis hasn't had a single "real" flight yet.

No British show is going to discuss a marijuana habit, that's very much an American word. It's called cannabis

Which is particularly surprising from a French company

The only thing I'd add is "not particularity nice to the Muslims living there" is putting it mildly.

Because there's always tension, Israel takes its security very seriously. Unlike most countries, who put a token effort into security most of the time, Israel really is an armed fortress. That makes it very easy for someone with an itchy trigger finger to shoot someone who didnt deserve shooting. Even with the best will in the world, it would happen from time to time.

That, of course, makes the Palestinians very angry. An angry population poses more of a threat, and is more likely to do something genuinely aggressive. The Israeli security is thus tightened further, and their soldiers get even itchier trigger fingers and around and around we go.

It doesn't take long before everyone involved has a personal grudge for one reason or another, and things can get really vicious.

That's not fair. They're complaining that they don't like it, and that they want to be able to turn it off. They didn't say it shouldn't exist
