That it’s evaporated, I don’t think there’s anything else.

I’d guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.

Interesting question, and as lots have already commented, judges are possibly biased to whoever keeps them in power.

Perhaps a lottery amongst the pool of potential judges (lawyers or whoever it may be)

So the mosquitoes just agreed not to cross the border 🦟

I’m pretty sure they did.

Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder […] Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life.

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that’s what I can see.

I’m guessing some sort of NAS but I’m eager to know the truth

A very good example of unimaginative or unoriginal naming. Although Alexandria is presumably named after Alexander the Great, rather than because the place reminded them of Alexandria.

As a Brit I was watching the storm coverage in the USA yesterday and marveling at the number of locations named after European towns, and chuckling at the lack of imagination of the early immigrants.

Composed of 18 images, this natural-color mosaic shows a boulder field on “Mount Washburn” (named after a mountain in Wyoming) in Mars’ Jezero Crater. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles near the center of the mosaic. “Atoko Point” (after a feature in the eastern Grand Canyon). The images were acquired by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover on May 27, 2024, the 1,162nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission

But it turns out nothings really changed on the naming front… however I’ve never had to name a place so I can’t really claim I’d be any better!

I think in the UK it’d be the “own brand” - very much conveys the same idea of the brand belonging to the store https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/own-brand

The UI on the app is really disingenuous, it looks like there is no option to change until you click on the individual descriptions.

I’m not sure they can really vote Putin out of power.

And as for moving country, well I’m sure that’s easy for some, but those with family and commitments I can’t imagine it’s easy

I must admit I thought pagers used the gsm (cellular) network, but could only receive messages and therefore couldn’t be triangulated / located like a mobile phone.

Reading deeper, if it’s radio signals then I can’t imagine Israel would have any problems replicating or spoofing them.

Yes, so if someone sent a very unique message, I’m not sure how many characters fit on a pager, but something nobody would ever send, then it could be the activation “password”.

I never had or used a pager, but I think it’s possible to send short alphanumeric messages to them via the cell phone network (GSM, or whatever)

It’s a device designed to receive signals ;p

I think for the pagers the consensus is that a particular code would have been sent to the devices.

Just can’t trust anyone these days…

How’s he enjoying his beer with the visor shut?
