Obligatory xkcd… we’re just meatbags somewhere to the left Purity

On a more serious note, there’s plenty to explore there and there are some potentially interesting links to quantum physics and stuff in our brain, as well as how certain drugs can completely disrupt our consciousness (ever had an operation?) and how it could link up. But there is obviously no definitive answer.

At best consciousness is whatever flavour of philosophical interpretation/explanation you like at any given time.

Asking the real questions here…

It doesn’t outright say she was doing something illegal. But it does state she was working on her own business, another article mentioned it as well, that she was investing, feel free to use your non-american search engine of choice to find more. And that’s not what TN visa is for. I can imagine it would be easily abused (and likely is) by investing in your own business and sponsoring yourself, if the amount you invested isn’t enough to get you through the threshold for investor visa - which has been increased recently.

Multiple lawyers are quoted suggesting it was not a good idea to do what she did, one of them directly advising her, and hat she wouldn’t have had the same issue at Canada border, that just screams arrogance to me.

I’m not defending what US did here, but it’s like with boycotting US products…oh suddenly shopping in all those big corporation shops in Canada is fine as long as they fuck us over with Canadian products? It’s gotten real quiet about that real quick. Assholes can be on both sides, just different sizes, doesn’t mean you must support either.

I wouldn’t want that to happen to anyone it’s bullshit, and this is getting overzealous, making an example of someone. If you read all the details in the articles about this though, it appears that she was doing something borderline or outright illegal to begin with, and I’m finding it difficult to feel sorry for her in this instance.

She was advised by a lawyer not to cross the border the way she did and at the place where she did it, and she ignored that advice. She was on TN visa which was revoked back in November, yet she was supposedly investing in a startup? Wouldn’t that mean you should seek E2 or similar visa, what could have flagged her for the cancellation her original TN one?

I feel more sorry for the hiker from Germany, even if she may have been trying to stay with her boyfriend or whatever, as far as evidence suggests, at least she did more or less everything by the book and had appropriate visa and documents that wouldn’t have otherwise caused her any issues.

Any noticeable durability issues? Had my Samsung stick die completely just outside of warranty window…

Lmao…now if Honda or whichever Japanese manufacturer is still regularly pushing these out came out and sued, I’d be more inclined to think they have some weight behind the accusation because I’m sure I’ve seen something similar before. Then again as others pointed out, they all look similar, even more so once you try to hide the wiring, hydraulics etc

If actual scientists were in charge, and maybe had some ideas that they weren’t certain would work but sounded promising, which could be theoretically tested with AI - there would be hope.
But none of these fuckers would allow anyone with more than half a brain cell near it, because “investment and growth and blablabla”

Then again, we could just do that with existing supercomputers and all these power hungry AI crap companies’ resources (I’m sure some supercomputers do get used for the modelling already)…instead of whatever the fuck they’re trying to do now.

More of a generic answer as I don’t know the situation there, so hopefully someone local will come around and chime in.

Unfortunately we live in a world where it doesn’t take much money for the movie/music industry corporations to sway the politicians in any country.

So what may be legal today, could very well not be a week, month or year from now and you’d want to stay on top of news like that.

As a general rule of thumb, I’d suggest using a solid VPN, if you’re uncertain about the consequences. I switched Mullvad (would I recommend it? Sure, but only if you’re ready to actually pay for it) and used to use Nordvpn (it’s ok, seems to have become bloated, but sometimes with cashback deals it’s essentially free) and there are plenty more out there depending on your level of comfort in quality of service they actually provide.

Now if someone can confirm what the situation is actually like, it could be anything from “I’m gonna need a n-th NAS with xxx TB capacity to seed all this” through “oh no, another email from my ISP, I need to setup a filter to send these to trash directly” to “who’s that knocking on my door at this time of the day”. In the end it all comes down to your appetite for risk.

Alrighty then, just need to wait for fucking novideo stock to get back to what I bought it at and I’ll dump and switch (don’t have anything spare to play around with sadly)

I hear you though, I also had(have?) similar physical effect on things like toys as a kid or some electronics since then…just brake shit randomly without trying, especially if I don’t own it.

You guys want me to invest? I’m guaranteed to lower the stock value by ~30% within about a month with my shidas touch

Sadly it’s not, and navigating around it takes a little bit of getting used to (trying to close a video for example is a somewhat counter intuitive). But I’ll take it over adds in youtube. That being said, I used it sparsely, as I don’t have much I want to watch there except play the odd song or maybe one or two other videos a week.

Tubular fork of newpipe works on AndroidTV, don’t know if newpipe itself does but last time I checked it didn’t. So I use it on both tv and phone.

Nice to see the western propaganda against poppy seeds still going strong. No wonder it’s so damn hard to buy reasonably priced seeds in NA to bake one of these puppies https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Makowiec.jpg/440px-Makowiec.jpg

Is this a GP you talked to or dermatologist? I talked to about 4 different GPs/doctors over 2 years regarding spots which they all though were fungal infection before finally getting referral for dermatologist who was like nah it ain’t that, don’t waste time on steroid based cream and prescribed something else that worked.

Imagine if they could one day get the whole EU to agree on something like this…and to even use the software! 😵

Did Osmand change that bullshit where if you changed your device you can fuck right off with your previously bought maps and pay for them again because they didn’t tie them to store account

Thanks, appreciate it
