This is quite interesting, given the UAE was only formed in 1971, and their precursor states only agreed to form the UAE in 1968.

> half the results are irrelevant

Better than the results on google these days, so YT is at least doing better.

I use the Kagi AI answer especially when I have a basic understanding (or I once did and forgot some bridge concept) and am looking to get an ELI5ish clarification.

Or if its pop culture of little consequence.

Cellulose is microplastic? I wonder what paper straws shed?

Our Intellectual Property utopia is such that you need to steal back what you owned, because its been impounded by an 800 pound automaton.

Maybe someone will create a gaming model that 'borrows' from every known game in existence, so that we'll finally get an Artificial Gaming-you Intelligence.

More responsibility for the same pay, corralling people, and inevitably adding their workload to yours? Because SME/mentor < sr dev when it comes time to rightsize the CxOs gambling losses.

Not surprising sr devs weren't jumping on this whole hog.

> You'll never have to see politics, war, or negativity on your timeline again

Sounds healthy to live in a padded room, rather than learning to ignore when you don't want to engage.

Depressing that in this 'enlightened' age, this statement is the closest to closure we will ever have for all the in-plain-sight rule breaking by the powers that be.

Technology, the great equalizer, except when it's not. Mostly not.

Apparently the governments are all ignoring the much more sizable amount of child porn on instagram, because they have a backdoor with Meta.

This goes straight to the point about this being more about politics.

I would think that applying glue contributes to the reason why the furniture doesn't survive the first owner/disassembly.

Unless this is meant for subsequent owners/houses?

I've never had an issue with IKEA disassembly/assembly having moved/lived/purchased across 3 continents, but I have always done my own assembly/disassembly.

While I personally agree with this sentiment, the last few years have made it amply clear that the population prefers padded rooms to icky playground sandlots.

This gives me the same vibes as OceanGate's Titan, and Boeing's Starliner capsule.

Better these two as a role model than Theranos though.

Obviously the lack of any squishy humans that need to be part of the process makes it less of an issue when nothing comes of it.

After 8 years of cashing in on the hype. Better late than never. Especially when there are no penalties, and umpteen FSD subscribers sending Tesla money.
