I would love to play theatre of the mind, but my table collectively has the spatial awareness of a barnacle.

That report is based on reading privacy policies, it doesn't actually assess what cars / brands actually do or are capable of

The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.

If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop

The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a "proactive policing" policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio

You have to do that to be a "Chartered Engineer", "Professional Engineer" etc. Some states require you to have some kind of registration to practice in some roles.

"Engineer" remains an unprotected term in all states and territories as far as I know but I could be wrong. It's definitely unprotected federally.

Where I'm from "mince pie" is dried fruit and spices, while "mince" is equivalent to the US ground beef (or less commonly other meats), and a "meat pie" is made from beef mince.

It made for frustrating Christmasses as a child because mini meat pies ("party pies") are delicious and available at every other celebration.

Then I take it back. I have never been as disappointed as the first time I was offered a "mince" pie

This meme does meat pies dirty (unless "mincemeat pie" is one of those horribly deceptive terms like "mince pie")

Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

Oh man I thought I understood the whole joke but missed the "cell wall" pun

Yep, I've got one of those going already! I'm currently working on improving the power consumption so I can run it off a LiFePO4 without recharging every week.

I'll throw in, YouTube channels are all fully functional RSS feeds, and you don't need to interact with YouTube at all to get your subscriptions.
