Could someone explain why this is called daylighting? I get what it means and this seems like a very smart thing to do if you want to make walking safer, but the term makes absolutely no sense at all. If even tried to look it up, it bothers me. The only thing that would make a bit of sense is that they mean the crosswalk is no longer in the shadow, but that seems quite a stretch too.

To be fair there is no credible source that this is true, there is only speculation since Starmer went to Washington, here is some sauce: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-commonwealth-offer-us-member-b2719470.html

a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

The King is reportedly preparing to extend the offer of “associate membership” in the voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which have history as former British colonies. Trump, it seems, is open to the idea.

It’s not my comment but I figured. I wonder though about the original question; where do they draw the line. So no ads for airplanes and gas stations, obvious, but how about some plastic lunch box or a bus company? What about train tickets where a part of the trip is with a diesel train. Surely the city will not allow something that is questionable at some point.

No totally, they obviously would give some random with no influence 4 million lol, just adding that besides the amount there is also something to be said about the goal.

I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

Right, totally depends on who would ask for MAGBA. But UK did invite them to the common wealth, so they are kinda the ones screaming the loudest so your pov makes more sense lol

UK scientists to tackle AI 's surging energy costs

Seems like you missed a bit of headline there buddy

But NS (= Dutch Railways) doesn’t right?

4 million would change my life and it’s not like I have a meaningful career either. For me the real deal-breaker would be that it would get microsoft a datacenter.

No I think it’s more a matter of revealing what was already there

Except the tumor also had more sense of humor and a better taste in music. Plus with the tumor comes economic stabilty a less extreme cost of living crisis and free healthcare affordable doctors.

It is Italian, but doesn’t mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

Also, in related news, today I learned:

In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

For India’s sake let’s hope they look a little different than this pair

Yes but America doesn’t sell those, besides if we’d spend that much on tech it might be a losing game if we spend it outside the eu

Thanks for sharing, worth the read! As a non-native speaker the title was a bit confusing to me. This is what the author argues for:

Everyone, it seems, can rally together and agree that we must stop “factory farming.” But this rallying cry has created an unforeseen consequence, one that animal exploiters are taking full advantage of. Producers who sell the flesh and fluids of animals can simply state that their product is not factory farmed; it’s organic . . . local . . . humane . . . cage-free . . . (insert any number of misleading labels here). Likewise, when consumers hear these offensive two words, they are now thinking, “Oh, but my meat (or dairy or eggs) isn’t factory farmed, I buy it at Whole Foods” (or “it’s organic,” or “it’s free-range,” etc.).

EU nations could commit to spending an extra $56 billion on American products to end the tariff showdown with US President Donald Trump, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said in an interview with the Financial Times published Thursday.

Sefcovic, who has been leading negotiations with the US administration, said that “certain progress” had been made but the European Union would not accept the United States’ 10 percent tariff on EU goods.

Sefcovic said that once US services are taken into account, the US trade deficit with the 27 EU nations is about 50 billion euros ($56 billion) a year.

“If what we are looking at as a problem in the deficit is €50 billion, I believe that we can really  . . .  solve this problem very quickly through LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) purchases, through some agricultural products like soyabeans, or other areas,” the commissioner told the FT.

This guy can’t be seriously going along with Trump’s narrative of trade deficits, right?

I didn’t know they can’t freeze to death either

I totally agree, but a risk i think AI might pose especially as they get better is these lonely people closing off even further from real humans because their adficial companion feels safer. But I also think the world is not blind and will remind people of this danger, so i expect it to be more likely a net benefit too.

I guess it’s not a black and white thing, just a matter of trust.

Imagine you have a kilo of gold, you wouldn’t just store it anywhere.

For me, Hungary and USA are bad places for my personal data and my gold (if I had any).
