    The point wasn’t to skip breakfast, it was that a big one isn’t necessary. Have a piece of toast, have a giant breakfast or none at all. It’s usually fine to follow your bodies need if you’re hungry or thirsty. It’s just that some people think it’s important to have a big breakfast, which is a untrue. A small refreshing or nurishing one is much better in many cases.

    I’m really glad I live in a place where this driver would get a big fine the first time they’re stopped, and most likely get their vehicle impounded if they were seen more than a few days later with the lights still attached.

    (EDIT: Anyone complaining that they need this many are lying or they have very low intelligence. If you need this llevel of light, you have a generator and actual lights in the back of the truck. If you need one or two of the huge ones for actual work, you’d have covers for them, which makes it legal again(since you’d have to stop the car and get out to turn them on, and can’t just flick them on while driving since that is a deadly hazard to others))




  • The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they’re literally just trying to make their own adsense network.

    The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.

    And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it “Basic Attent Tokens”…

    TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you’ll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.

    The main deflector or deflector array is crucial for stopping microscopic particles from wrecking most ships at relativistic speeds, and is technically called the “navigational deflector” for that reason.

    At sub-light speeds those same particles are barely noticable, if at all, when stopped by the normal shields, basic deflectors or even hull plates. Which why they don’t modify it while at warp, and pretty much only use it while at sub-light speeds.

    In-universe it was designed to serve multiple purposes and be used in research or defense of other ships. And I seem to remember there being some sort of lockout where the ship wont go to warp if it can’t engage the deflector. Since even a small particle cloud could destroy the entire ship a fraction of a second after it set off.




  • With the TL;DR being: Google/Alphabet wants to more easily block non-chrome browsers ability to use their services, and prevent the use of adblocking.

    Which also means that many people using accessability tools will be unable to access them. And they are trying to get Firefox to implement it as well, so they don’t take all the blame when shit hits the fan and they start getting multi-billion dollar monopoly fines from the EU.


  • Here’s what seems like a major contributor:

    https://nicoleevelina.com/2013/04/22/poets-most-powerful-celtic-satirists/

    With these sources:

    Secrets of the Druids by John Matthews
    Magic of the Celtic Otherworld: Irish History, Lore and Rituals by Steve Blamires
    Celtic Myth and Religion: A Study of Traditional Belief by Sharon Paice Macleod
    http://loki.stockton.edu/~kinsellt/litresources/celts/review/supernatural.html
    

    Some the things in the post seem to be from the book “Celtic Smiths and Satirists: Partners in Sorcery” by M. Randolph

    Although I think the “they weren’t allow to marry” was more that they became hated for abusing their power, so it was more likely a “they shouldn’t be allowed to be happy” type of deal. But I didn’t read enough to check that out fully.
