I'm reasonably confident that neither Russia nor China have any interest in Greenland. Primarily because they clearly don't. They could have attacked Greenland at any point in the last 60 years they haven't.

China is primarily interested in the Middle East, India, and Africa and Russia is not currently in a state to be threatening anyone else, least of all NATO.

Apparently it's because the US military are always encouraged to follow orders and not think for themselves. Basically the exact opposite to the way that they are betrayed in Hollywood. They even get trained to creeply talk about themselves in the third person.

There are millionaires and billionaires in Europe though, so clearly it is possible to have decent work-life balance and still support the excesses of a rich upper class, assuming that's a requirement.

The amount of productivity lost because of paid leave is almost negligible, study after study has shown that people are less productive the more overworked they are. So staff with no time off work longer hours but are less productive for those hours, the end result is it pretty much equals out. If it didn't, the US economy would be doing better then it is, €1 is $1.16.

That's my Americans never leave the US. They don't have time. ,

Do you even know what we're talking about? Have you ever played any of those games, they are very much in the style of what meta where trying to do.

If you took Meta's description of what the "Metaverse" is and then looked at chatVR it's basically the same product.

Sure they do.

Don't worry I'm not going to explain why that makes zero sense, you can keep wearing your fetching tin foil hat.

Oh I see so now he's angry at everyone. Not that I think that America should be able to get Greenland but even if I did it's not as if say the UK or France has any say on the matter, so why are they being tariffed?

Those are two different things. Tracking the location via cell network just gives an approximate location, anywhere within the cell towers reception area. GPS data doesn't get shared with anyone unless you choose to share it.

If companies want your GPS data then you have to share it with them.

I have trouble with the word endorsed. It's not as if being verified does anything other than provide a guarantee that the people are who they're claiming to be.

Personally I think it's great that they are so willingly publicly verified. It will be useful evidence that their trials.

Do you not know how dangerous guinea pigs are, they can turn on you like that. In the wild they can turn it into guinea boars and grow tusks 10 cm long.

I think War thunder should add alien spacecraft. I want to know about area 51

Do it. I could do with the laugh.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
