I'm just a layman, but wouldn't using nuclear weapons to test for radioactivity cause radioactivity?

> The lawsuit accuses the fast food giant of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that "overflow over the bun".

Fast food burgers are always lop-sided. It's just been photographed from the 'bits falling out' side.

An unannounced budget/headcount cut with no change in scope and no budget for overtime (not that I think overtime compensates)?

A mighty recommendation letter, list of contacts at other employers and personal introductions on request.

If the captain decides to sink the ship, I'm having out life vests. I care about my people more than petulant vision.

I would add however that Bezos and Musk aren't that similar. And that your question scenario is completely different from "In X months, you will have layoffs if you stay like you are, what can you do?"

I feel the key point is they are not stating what they use the information for, therefore you cannot object what they are using the information for.

If you can demonstrate by questioning that they are obstructing what information is used for, specifically, then that will fall foul of EU intention for objecting to use of information. Run it by https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]

Property developers need not downgrade the number of bedrooms because they decrease size. It's a cynical ploy to segregate the market.

Unless including a garage, there's no reason why a 2400sqm, which is 220m2 in the rest of the world, should not be 4-5 bedrooms.

Or, if you're unsure where nginx.conf is or what it does, take 15 minutes to find out and understand it rather than scurrying answers and copy-pasting scripts mentioned in TFA. The old adage of less haste, more speed. Bonus for using conf.d rather than sites-available!

You might not even need Docker, an indeed revolutionary prospect.

Wordpress has already been around one fifth of a century. Yet, it's quite something to appreciate the change that happened between the one tenth of a century before it, so, 1993, and it, so, 2003.

In that time we went from self (and often university) hosted HTML to self-publishing. And it wasn't just Wordpress. A plethora of single-writer and group publishing flourished in an incredibly brief period of time powered in large part by the sudden availability of low priced (and free) hosting and scriptable languages.

In comparison, the past 1/10th of a century has seen little. Choice of JS framework does not revolutionary change make. If anything, there's a now established no turning back movement from federalists, indeed a niche, a result of the swallowing creative and belching out stale innovation FAANGs+ have brought destructive force with. FB does nothing whatsoever now in social good that it didn't do a decade ago. Nor Google. Just as banks do good in facilitating individual with saving, loan and payment solutions, they get fucked up sometimes and in their chasing the last decimal point fuck up people's lives via markets; FAANGs are at the chasing the last decimal point in advertising but fucking up people's lives directly through their brains, and it's got a way to run.

Which roundabout wandering brings me to ask: Will the $100 be put in trust, or similar, to ride out the next revolutionary change in tech that may result in Wordpress no longer be around but some cash needs to be left over for hosting something. The past decade has been all but revolutionary and is no place to base an assumption on the volatility-in-tech two decades down the line.

It gives an answer without setting location. So why not when blocking it?

Better name.

One says sleep on a stranger's smelly couch and impede on them in their home. Good for broke and social travellers perhaps.

The other says informal self-service hotel, with the freshness, easyness and carefreeness of air.

A lot goes in a name.
