Google has removed the video through an automated process without talking to the owner of the channel or verifying who owns the video in the first place.

Honestly sounds like Hanlon's Razor on Google's part. No collusion necessary, just can't be bothered to maintain/staff an actual effective system.

Running through a tent site is not the world's smartest plan. You'll trip on a guy wire.

After initial tests created a series of large holes in the wall of the lab, the higher-power Scanning Tunneling Tennis Ball Microscope project was quickly shut down.

Protons are positively charged. Like charges repel, so protons fly apart unless there's an equal number of electrons (or other negatively charged particles) to keep them happy.

Electrons are negatively charged, and fly apart unless there's a more-or-less equal number of protons. Electrons are a lot lighter than protons so move easier, and electrons deciding to be somewhere with more protons and less electrons is basically lightning.

Neutrons don't have an electrical charge. They just sit there being gravitational.

Do you remember where you played it?

It sounds/looks a little like some of the stuff from bontegames.

It's heavily dependant on the plastic type. PET bottles are pretty good.

Even if it's not recycled, it's still far better to landfill or burn it than have it hit waterways.

Apparently that's the new way to do math in AI. The AI works out you're trying to do math, tries to write some Python code to do the math, runs the python codes, gets the answer, writes a response around the numeric answer.

I can't think of any possible issues with this; it's infallible. /s

If you're an importer or manufacturer-importer, you can choose to take a lower profit margin or make a loss to maintain the same final price. If the market is dominated by domestic competitors, you might need to do this to maintain sales.

If there's no significant domestic competitors, they're too small to sway the market, or they're also forced to raise prices due to tariffs on their supply chain, the price the market will bear goes up.

But I agree: it looks like it's mostly trying to beat the idea into farmers' thick MAGA skulls.

Bankrupting a casino is usually a good thing. E.g. "I'm the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo".

Using it to launder money usually results in an extremely profitable casino, not the opposite.

The thing standing in the way of your dreams is that the person having them is you.

That's not bad pricing wise. There's very very little prosumer gear that's multi gigabit and it's all much higher price, or it's just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.
