What exactly are you on about? Isn't she the current vice president that has expressed her unwavering support for Israel countless times already? What could possibly change with her?

Your urban planning. Your cities are unwalkable, the scenery makes me depressed af, everything is scaled up for cars, even restaurants are for cars, the highways are huge, all I can see is tar. I don't know how you can live like that.

The mathematics mentioned in the first source have nothing to do with engineering though.

Ratios, a little trigonometry and geometry, all of which are essentially under the geometry category and arithmetic are not what concerns the engineering field. They are architectural tools if you will. Of course they utilized geometry, that's not something innovative. Maths in general does not mean anything here, maths can be about number theory(completely unrelated to any practical application).

What differentiates them and engineers now is essentially mechanics. Forces, torques, stresses, materials, masses, moments of inertias etc. They never applied quantitative engineering principles, their structures were only sound from experience and intuition, the geometry mentioned was for architectural purposes.

Well, considering the election results in Europe and the US, they are scaring a whole lot of people.

Ong, first they eliminate the competition and then they start going for profit, which always goes hand in hand with enshitification, for the very simple reason that if there was something they could add to increase profits and user satisfaction at the same time, they would've already added it.

They are not trying to make the app work for the user but against him, to take his data, privacy, attention, money etc.

Ohhhh riiight yeah, so it's only their opinion articles the problem? That's your idea? Here buddy, this will help you a little bit, hopefully:

And one last thing: "why Jews should be exterminated in concentration camps" can be an opinion piece as well. How exactly does the fact that it is an opinion make it excusable for any newspaper to post it? - and when it's done multiple times it stops being a coincidence. But then again, they are muslims and Arabs, it makes sense not to see the issue here, cause... racism.

There are ways to get it without destroying the machine. If it's an electromagnet it will cost you several thousand dollars because there is cooling helium inside you have to remove, but you can stop it. Even if it's a permanent magnet there are techniques to remove metal objects. Incidents with metal objects in these rooms happen all the time in hospitals.

I don't get why you would defend this stupid cop, especially by making stuff up. A medical device like an MRI scanner is infinitely more important than a gun, for god's sake. Even if we assume they cost the same, what deserves to be saved is the medical device.

It doesn't have to bother you personally to be unfair. I don't pay this amount of money on their games and consoles to be bombarded by ads. It's not a "big" problem, but it is a problem. Some people don't want to see so many ads, to be tempted to buy stuff all the time or have a bloated home screen.

Just because you don't mind doesn't mean everyone has to do so as well.

I don't know which part is worse, that they destroyed a several hundred thousand dollar machine for a fucking gun, that they left the magazine behind, or that they did all that for cannabis.

So it's ok to call students that are protesting against a genocide Nazis but not the people actually committing the genocide. Got it.

He was too innocent for this world. I don't know what to say other than I promise I will never forget him and that I'll try to spread his message and do everything I can to help free Palestine.
