And all the things you listed as proof are what AfD is firmly against. You also forgot gay couples having children as something that should be allowed only to the party leadership.

They don't need to. Farage's support is plummeting.

It looks trivial because it is. Overuse of stupid as a label does not mean that there are no stupid people and noticing their existence does not make you automatically join their group.

Around here means Slovenia. No idea what my great-grandmother made because I didn't know her, but down the line they didn't use this much sugar and my mother would be downright appalled at the idea.

Aboute intent I guess we'll have to disagree.

Your definition of scam is too narrow as you seem to think it must include lying.

Mine is more dictionary based, meaning "intention to deceive". And prominently putting strawberries or merino on the label while not mentioning what constitutes most of it would fit it. It's especially egregious when nutrition facts are printed in low contrast with tiny print I have difficulty reading even with my glasses.

As an aside, around here traditional jam has more fruit than sugar (per weight and volume). Otherwise you are really just eating flavoured sugar.

Not really because I'm sure they will be capable of a good enough design.

What I actually doubt is that people as whole are this adaptable to continuous novelty, especially when it is not directed by them.

I find this view fascinating. After decades of observing users getting lost by minor changes to UI or sometimes just different "paint" I am now to believe that we will all enjoy using completely custom UI customised not only to what I would want but what the app will think I need at particular moment and get on with it just fine.

I actually do think generating UI has some future, but I remain sceptical it can realistically go as far as promoters claim. It is especially bizarre to me when this is done by ostensibly UX people.

Neo just means new. It's not an out-of-jail card if it is completely unrelated to the old/real thing.

looks awful (to provide a genuinely felt counter view)

Why do you assume they were vague? Do you imagine mathematicians work by stumbling around searching for accidental clues?

Yes, we do.

He was a fabulist who certainly was more scrutinized because of his skin color, but it really shouldn’t be disputed that he plagiarized and lied profusely.

That doesn’t mean remotely he deserved this.

I also have little hope that everyone who contributed to this sordid tale, from Cambridge, police etc. will have to account for their profound failures.

They are, but using the same process for all books is simpler and cheaper.

That's because there so much of them and most of the range is not very comfortably accessible (you usually need to endure some discomfort either getting there or staying nearby).

Where you can get nearby fairly easy like base Las Torres, you'll have plenty of people doing just that.

I don't think this is by intent. It's just that the countries themselves are relatively poor and have higher priority projects for their limited resources.

This works, thanks :)

For anyone else who may want this, use: export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-opus-4-6

How did you manage to do that?

/model command returns only 4 choices for me: Opus 4.7, two Sonnet options and Haiku.
