They don’t have boats and really don’t care for going to the beach.
If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.
I’m a technical writer (aircraft maintenance and flight operations manuals, mostly) and eliminating ambiguity is key to clear, effective communication.
Leaving out that comma takes a sentence with only one possible interpretation and gives it several options instead.
Maybe 3.5k and a pizza party.
I’m honestly surprised that the US cares about it… There’s near zero economic or strategic concerns left in that region for the US.
And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?
The charged particles that affect our electrical and electronic systems have mass and therefore cannot travel at the speed of light… We can see the visible light effects of a flare and know that the slower-moving particles that will cause actual damage are on the way.
Brave essentially has done this all along.
I am Spez’s raging bile duct.
WTF is up with the random preview images anyway?
New computers are the ones more likely to fail.
Flying out of Moscow and the plane goes down… what are the odds?
Assuming the maintenance crews haven’t already been mobilized and sent to fight in Ukraine.

I have no idea if either is more effective.
I’m just used to every little town having a handful of local cops to handle local matters because that’s how it was in the very rural area where I grew up. Neighboring towns and counties did coordinate with each other for assistance when needed, and meet daily to discuss ongoing matters (they tended to each have somebody gather at the same place for lunch), so I expect the overall effectiveness is pretty similar… it’s just independent departments working together while primarily covering their own local areas rather than one giant department directing them all across a large area.
See the second part of my response, above.
The rural US is often very empty with long distances of pretty much nothing between towns. If those towns want a reliable, responsive police presence, they have to provide it themselves. Keep in mind that average population density is the US is about 1/4th of that in Europe… and it’s far lower than that when you get away from the North-East.
Revenue-generation from traffic tickets, if the town is along a major highway.
In other cases, it’s usually because the towns are just so far away from anything else and you can’t always wait 45 minutes for a cop to drive out from the city.
I just disable all that.
If I’m opening the Google app, it’s because I want to search for something. If I’m searching for something, I’m busy right now and don’t appreciate Google trying to distract me with other irrelevant crap.
Choose your network provider more carefully.

OnlyOffice Desktop Editors…
Simpler interface but lacking more advanced features of MS Office or Libre. It has the features 90% of users actually use though.
Nearly perfect DOCX formatting compatibility. The only thing I have ever noticed when collaborating with Word users is the bullet symbols on list items may be different on my end.
