Okay, you are right, the missing information in the article though is that Comoros themselves said the vessel is not registered with them. I don’t think it would have been legitimate for France to simply say “we suspect you are flying a false flag” and seize the vessel without evidence.

No, the article says they are flagged under the Comoros Islands.

Honestly I think it’s kind of the same thing. I’m not sure if there is a legal mechanism to seize a flagged vessel you think is doing something illegal, but I don’t think you can just say "I suspect you are smuggling oil’ and seize them. Not that there’s really anything Russia can do about it, though…

Hmm how about CRT monitors/televisions? Not that common these days but they are basically little particle accelerators that shoot electrons at a pretty good fraction of the speed of light (like 30%). But I guess that’s not really an answer to you question unless you define electrons as objects. I guess my other answer would be airbags which deploy at about 300 kmph

Women watch more lesbian porn then men (as a proportion of their total porn consumption). And women apparently make up 37% of the viewership on pornhub so that’s a very significant amount of lesbian porn viewership, if not an outright majority.

“Like your job. Love your wife.” - Dell from Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. You can generalize that to say, your job is just a means to an end. Don’t work a job you hate, but look elsewhere for true fulfillment in life.

There is something extremely endearing about humble Christmas trees! Cheers and merry Christmas

Upside down smiley is used as like a smile-through-the-pain, everything is fucked kind of reaction, similar to melty smiley. Similarly the blushing smiley is usually deployed ironically. Or maybe my friends are just really sarcastic haha

Depends on the thing and the mood I’m in. Sometimes I just have to be pragmatic - my life will be better in the long run if I do this because I’ll keep my job, my house will be clean, etc. Sometimes the thing I’m doing is just really fun. Sometimes it’s fun to just check boxes, like your completing tasks in a videogame. And finally, once you’ve established a habit like exercise or stretching or learning a language, it just feels wrong to not do it every day.

Everyone knows 67 = basketball star Lamelo Ball’s height (6’ 7"). It’s a reference to a song that talks about that. It’s now just a silly in-joke reaction to hearing/seeing the numbers 6 and 7, literally the exact same thing as millenials and 69.

Well not everyone knows that I guess - just everyone cool!

Also how weird is it that 2 of the biggest memes of the past decade - the dab and 67 -are both made famous by sports stars based in my hometown of Charlotte, NC (not exactly a cultural mecca)

Seven Devils by Florence and the Machine is a fun one :)

Imagine not playing a videogame because some guy in France likes it and he also (and I’m only guessing here, but this is lemmy) supports Israel

Ok, well I wouldn’t call that “grift” to be honest. The video you linked repeatedly says “Sabine is not a charlatan”. I do think she leans into science controversy a bit more than she should, and branches out from where she’s an expert, but those are less serious “crimes”. I also think her gripes about academia are not completely without warrant and I can’t blame her for acquiring a following of people that are trying to use her criticisms to further their own phony conspiracies.

I used to subscribe to her a couple years ago but stopped. What do you mean by grift?

Part of that is probably all his apps got nuked?

Yeah apparently it has to do with the bit sort of sliding in behind the holes it carves out with its blades. Doesn’t happen with a regular drill bit because those don’t have sticky-out parts.

Haha I love AI! We’re so close to AGI I swear bro!

Interesting, I’ve only had the hexagon thing happen to me in plywood, but it seems it can happen in regular wood as well.

You get hexagons as well when you drill a countersink bit into plywood. Something something layers.

No they don’t dude. AZ doesn’t have a parent company. Immunocore has about 1 billion dollars in assets, AZ has about 100 billion. Stop making stuff up.
