Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, Bat Individual!

It’s also Microsoft’s get-out-of-jail-free card here; someone else ripped the ebooks, processed them, and uploaded them under a CC0 Public Domain license. “How were we meant to know the release wasn’t authorized?”

I agree that CoMaps and similar apps don’t have the feature set that signed-out Google Maps users are losing in this move by Google, so it’s not totally relevant.

I don’t agree with just calling CoMaps a navigation app in the sense of “how do I get to Point B”, though. In well-mapped areas it has business information including specifics about the shop/restaurant, opening hours, accessibility, payment methods, etc. It has points of interest that give information about a location’s history and culture, as well as ancillary information from Wikipedia/WikiData. It has information about green spaces, vehicles and bicycle parking, waterways, sports clubs and tracks/pistes, toilets and other public services, benches, water points, and a bunch more.

It’s satellite imagery, yes, but from an oblique (high off-nadir) angle. The imagery is from DigitalGlobe, who are now Maxar.

It’s Maxar satellite imagery with a high off-nadir angle. European Space Imaging use it as an example in this article about ONA.

I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is “a Lego”; in Europe, that’s typically not the way the word is used.

I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I’d misread your comment, and I don’t want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you’ve said…

How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

To the extent that it looks like they airbrushed it in afterwards.

The pun works verbally if a werewolf (literally “man-wolf”) is understood to be a hybrid of man and wolf during the full moon. Instead of changing form into a werewolf, he’s changed form into a warehouse.

Written down, if he turned into a half-man, half-house he’d be a werehouse, and if he turned into a half-man, half-warehouse he’d be a werewarehouse.

a duckhead?

Is this not just AFU? If so, the effect for a physical user is the same (needs the passkey), but encryption keys are still loaded.

On both the Android and iOS stock keyboards, you can just hold the hyphen key to get other dashes, too. You don’t need to go hunting for it.

ACABC, thus ACABCadabra alakazam.

Totally agree – that’s why I park my truck in the right lane of the three-lane highway near my office. The traffic still has two lanes to use, it’s plenty of space.

My neighbors in my apartment block have been complaining that I’ve filled one of the elevators with storage crates, too, but there’s another elevator and a set of stairs, so I don’t know what’s got them so upset.

It’s a reflection of the podium and stage:

Indeed, here’s Genesis 9:3, right after the Quite Big Flood:

Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Likewise in the UK. I’m less sure about the efficacy and ethics of speeding fines than many people in this community – not to say they shouldn’t exist, just that I’ve seen plenty unreasonably low restrictions in places where there’s no heightened risk to the public, and that I’m not convinced that motorway/interstate restrictions are useful to the degree they’re enforced – but having the registered owner take the risk if the driver doesn’t own up seems entirely reasonable.

Foddy’s most recent game, Baby Steps, is getting good reviews. I’ve not played it myself, but it’s a 3D game in the same genre; you’re a very unfit basement-dwelling 30-something who gets teleported (in your onesie) to the wilderness, and you’re trying to manage your balance as you make your way to a mountain.
