Google maps uses suggestive names (e.g. a park walkway given a name by the municipality) as official road names, and when it does that it marked it as a cycling path. Both are invalid and cycling on them is illegal. This has been going on for years.

It redirects cars on foot/bikepaths near rivers, with the danger of sliding in.

It's easy talking points during elections but requires lengthy legal procedures and thus gets chopped immediately. Politicians gonna be politicians. Better to be talking about the time of day than some other dog whisle.

It's also been "abolished" many times around the world, then quickly reinstated when kids start dying.

Good thing there's actual data so we can find out how many countries observe DST: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_countr...>.

Not everywhere.

Western Australia has had four referenda on the topic since 1975, each time preceded by a trial period where daylight saving was observed, and every time it has been rejected and the state has switched back to no DST.


I'm not sure but it sounds like a skirmish to lure out the lobby groups talking points into the wide open by the voice of the EU commission.

The Maltese route is still open but a bit different since 2025. It's now citizenship by merit (aka the old by investment, since dumping money is considered a cultural contribution).

Doesn't the block simply get marked as deleted and only wiped on a write?

By the time post quantum matters for things like firmware packages the thing they've build, even if done well, will have been broken anyway in some other form. But rules are rules, thy must obey and introduce more logical errors and bug in the process.

It is always interesting to point out to people claiming it would be better to not cure people that over half of the people in the room would be dead by the age of 5. That likely includes them.

Don't know where you get your apples but I can buy 1 if I want. Just not at the supermarket since they optimise to sell you more than you need. No regulation involved here.

I believe it was both in Albert and Aldi (during 2023). Felt really awkward to waste fruit, but that's nice that there are sanity among other stores. I get it that folks can be annoyed when I hand pick my potatoes at the grocery store to match for size and to have good coloured exemplars, but to pick and choose is one of the few delights buy groceries.

I can also buy 1 at the supermarket

Care to share your secret?

Or people with not enough time, not enough resources and too much overtime already to kill off any happyness in creating the product.

Damn this is horrible. So the author chose to waste everyone's time by expanding with cow manure. I generally don't read much articles online anymore since they are all likely to contain slop unless authored by known non-slop users.

Yea, that’s sad.
