Yes. Two is the maximum for a very simple reason:

He has actually been married to only two of them. He just keeps paying money to random women to have his kids.

Status symbol. Like how many of them keep buying iPhones just so they can show others they could afford an iPhone. Being expensive and not Chinese is pretty much the exact point.

Samir, you are breaking the car! Samir, listen to me! Samir!!!

It doesn’t. The website would ask for an id check, you would generate it on the processor side and give the randomized ID to the site so it could go check it’s valid and let you through. It can be used to verify an account permanently but without one, it would kinda act like a temporary 2FA code.

The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

“It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

Oh, I guess the micro sd card slot under the batteries of the doorbell camera is non-functional then, and it saves the videos into your ass, where you pulled that claim from?

Yes. Yes it does store them to the camera.

In general yes, but that’s also how you easily end up on sites like insecam and shodan.

Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

How would you propose I prove to you at a reasonable certainty that I am an adult, without showing you my ID, or showing it to someone else you trust to tell the truth?
And also somehow prove that the ID I gave was not fake without the government that issued it telling you that it’s genuine?

Well, I actually could do it because I’m old enough that most of my accounts are already over 18 years old, but I don’t think requiring every new Pornhub user to wait 18 years is a reasonable solution.

If there is exactly one global service that does all the checks for every single internet user, which every single website uses, and the information going through them is always known, then sure, they could certainly block stuff.
But it’s quite clear by now “we aren’t going to implement age verification on the internet” isn’t going to happen, that verification is going to be implemented eventually, and in the rather near future. And places like the UK and many US states are extremely unlike to roll back the already implemented solutions.
So the question now is how it can be done with the least amount of invasion to privacy, and crucially, without the website needing your actual ID.

The way EU is planning on implementing it is seemingly rather okay on the privacy side.
Basic idea is that instead of sending your actual ID to every random shady website, which is fucking stupid and you should never ever do, you verify your ID once to a trusted processor, and the websites only receive a simple “Is adult: yes/no” answer connected to a randomised ID from them.

Combine that with one additional hop between the website and processor and you eliminate the processor even knowing what websites you requested the check for, and therefore the risk of a data leak is minimal.

Game mechanics cannot be copyrighted

They can’t, and that’s why this was a patent case. And they certainly can be patented.

One of the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten was this meat stew my grandfather made with oxtail and tongue.
The meat was some of the most horrible stuff I’ve ever put in my mouth, but the vegetables and the stock was absolutely heavenly.

In this case a headcount before leaving could kinda have been feasible as the ship only had 120 passengers - often it isn’t simply because modern cruise ships tend to be massive and have way too many passengers to keep track of - but from what I could understand they had an electronic system in place and for some reason she either wasn’t marked as having left, or had somehow been mistakingly marked as returned.

She was noticed as missing when they did do a “headcount”, during the evening dinner.

It’s estimated russia spent $145 billion for the military in 2024, and the budget for 2026 is about the same - 2025 was around that as well. So that 200 billion pays for roughly 15 months of the currently 44 month war.

Gotta keep the investor money flowing.

“Trust me bro, I know x didn’t work but y will, give me a few more billions bro, AI will make us rich bro”

And fittingly, both of those categories are pretty much a perfectly overlapping venn diagram because they are so overarchingly vague.
Drinking water can kill you, and if it’s too hot, it causes cancer.

Therefore “drinking water” is something that can be found it both lists. And so is “not drinking water”.

It’s also the worlds most addictive chemical, and alarmingly nobody addicted to dihydrogen monoxide has ever been able to overcome that addiction, every dihydrogen monoxide addict dies with a 100% certainty within a few weeks if they stop taking it.

Maybe people would want an ultra thin phone, but not when it has a giant tumour that makes it actually almost twice as thick as an iPhone 6.

Someone should manufacture a 1mm thin phone by disassembling one and mounting the screen at a 90 degree angle to the rest of the components, as that’s apparently how we measure “thickness” these days.
