While I don’t think that what you’re saying is by any means implausible, there is an actual difference here. All rockets and missiles destroy themselves in the process of attacking a target. Not all drones do. A lot of them have a simple mechanism that drops a grenade or similar
You fool, you’re only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!
Johnson is a slimy tosspot, and his position on Russia is good only for self-serving reasons. Supporting Ukraine let him act out his little Churchill fantasy and distract from all of his domestic failings
The US military is currently directly involved in fighting in Yemen and Somalia. It’s relatively small-scale, but it is happening
Classic ChatGPT there, forgetting two letters and adding in two that weren’t there before
If you have fact-checked it, why not just say that wherever you did that is where you got the answer from? People are right to be skeptical of “ChatGPT says so”, and if you’ve used it as the start of your research rather than as your entire research then just saying “I asked ChatGPT” is no different to “I googled it”, and nobody would much like you saying that either. How you found the information is less important than where you found it.
It’s possible it’s for other reasons, though. Black Americans are generally poorer than other Americans, and success in sports is a ticket out of poverty that is accessible to people in that position. It could also be a cultural thing; I doubt Finns are genetically predisposed to be exceptional drivers, but they are still wildly over-represented at the top level of motorsports for such a small population
I’d probably also develop a short temper about spanners too if they were being shoved in my face by tech companies as hard as chat bots are
I’m pretty sure they are only talking about windfarms that would otherwise actually be built
Honestly I don’t think that is necessary to explain this. China is seeing the same issue as western countries with birth rates way below replacement, but it hardly has any of the immigration that mitigates it for (most of) Europe and North America. It’s not easy for an economy to support an ever-increasing proportion of its population being retirees
If it was just that, surely there’d be a rebound visible on the chart after 2016 (8-year-olds and younger)? Instead it falls off even harder
I kinda want to start describing sensible people as “hinged” now
You can usually remove predicted words if this starts happening. On mine, it’s done by pressing and holding the prediction, then confirming. If you use the name Scott regularly anyway, it’ll re-learn it without the incorrect association
Assuming 0.125%, it’s very roughly 10% of the original total every three months for the first year
Not all instances/clients show those display names. I’m on kbin.earth and it doesn’t, I just see the underlying account name. It sounds like you’re seeing the same. But if I go look at Wheelchar’s profile on lemmy.world, which is their instance, it shows both “WheelchairArtist” and “@WheelcharArtist”
It was wild re-reading all that back when Russia launched its “special military operation”. One of the last things Trump did in office was attempt to extort and/or weaken the country Putin was gearing up to invade again
I don’t know what the actual terminology here is. The display name is “WheelchairArtist” but the underlying account name - the one that shows up in the URL if you go to their profile - is missing the i. I have no idea if that’s a typo on account creation or something intentional.
There are ways to mitigate this. Scotland and Wales use a system that’s basically FPTP with compensation. It’s not perfectly proportional and some of the elected representatives are from a party list rather than being voted on individually, but the individual ones are picked first and it’s proportional enough that voting for smaller parties isn’t a waste of time
Germany is usually at least in the top fifteen of that list, if not in the top ten. It’s not as big as the US, but the disparity is substantially smaller than between the US and Denmark
I would be quite interested to see how they would rank the EU. Not an average of the EU countries, a score for the actual EU itself
It still does. I have no idea why we bother paying articles like this any attention. Then again I suppose it is worth reporting on that it happens generally, and I don’t have any suggestions for how to make news outlets just do an annual summary
