This is an intellectually dishonest and frankly completely inappropriate attempt to twist someone’s words. HN generally has good standards about acceptable comments and I’m surprised to see this here.

You shouldn’t complain about truisms (is the quoted text even a truism? It doesn’t seem obviously true) that lack proper justification beyond belief when your initial premise was “an elected leader is the most competent person for the job”.

Beyond the obvious differences between campaigning and actually leading effectively, there is the very obvious looming spectre of dictatorship. So many dictatorships in the our modern history have started off with promising leaders affecting real change. That is, until they decide they like power a bit too much and start dismantling the democratic machinery that they used to take power in the first place.

You also assert that term limits are bad because it doesn’t allow time for people to grow into the role and demonstrate expertise in it. To that I say: there are other ways to lead and grow and develop expertise than the most powerful political office in any country.

I mean, we have an obvious and irrefutable real life example of what can happen without term limits. Just look at the US senate, the house and the Supreme Court. All of the political bodies are or have been littered without of touch career politicians who spend all their time ensuring no one else can challenge them, enriching themselves and their top supporters.

Tesla are calling this downforce but downforce is defined as downward force generated by the aerodynamic features of a car, which does not describe their system. Presumedly their “suction” system will also create drag.

The arrs have extensive and solid capabilities for filtering for the quality you want, but they don’t really offer the ability to manage multiple qualities for one specific item.

It’s also nice to have them separated because you can set up distinct plex libraries mapped to the sonarr and radarr 4K media directories. I don’t give everyone access to 4K content because no matter how many times I explain direct play, some people just seem to love transcoding to 720p. So I can limit 4K library access on plex and disable transcoding altogether for plex content.

I also don’t want every item I add in both 4K and 1080p.

I’m a huge StarCraft fan! Loved this write up.

They picked the route. HS2 wanted the train to travel at 400km which seems not to be motivated by practicality. The whole project has been managed abysmally in so many dimensions. Most of the route is covered tunnels.

As one of your citations points out, they could have just slowed down briefly.

Are 8500 environment consents a lot for a 140 mile incredibly fast rail system? How much work does each consent require? Could the planning process have started earlier and mitigated the need to get so many environmental consents? Have environmental requirements caused as much delay and consternation as residents along the route have?

Do you have any proof at all? It doesn’t read as obviously AI to me.

What's wrong with it? It put the helicopter at risk and was a deliberate act of provocation.

> Even the U.S. Navy ships fire warning flares at other vessels when they approach close.

Yes. A helicopter is not a vessel. These kind of monitoring exercises are common amongst both Russians and Americans when operating near each other or their territorial waters.

Russians frequently overfly American and NATO craft. Russia has also been committing acts of sabotage around the world, but more specifically has been cutting undersea communication cables, so they are absolutely worthy of scrutiny.

The Russian Ambassador to Denmark stated that Russia would “thoroughly investigate all the circumstances of the incident”. That's not exactly a hardline statement indicating Russia knows it was in the right.

Which options? I’ve tried a few different configurations, including one with 64gb of ram, and all of them appear eligible for preorder.

Any? As in one of them? Maybe. I think it’s incredibly unlikely though, and I think you’re making a huge and questionable leap. Boycotting a business isn’t normally a precursor to fascist dictatorship.

Anecdotal evidence is not proof, and as I’ve seen two people in this thread saying the performance of their iPhone 13s improved after iOS 26, I don’t see how you could concretely attribute any of your issues to Liquid Glass specifically (especially since you say it has been resolved with 26.5 despite Liquid Glass still being present in the os).
