It's capital is Santiago, its neighbours Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. And I believe they speak Spanish. Also they have quite the coastline but it's not the largest in the world.

Should we point out that in this context it's 'save', not 'safe'? If you're going to correct someone's spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

23-Year-Old Elon Musk Rep Granted Energy Dept. IT Access Without Security Clearance
Imagine having worked there for years. You follow all those opsec and cybersecurity rules painstakingly because it's all so important and everything. And then some student waltzes in and just does whatever.

Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I've been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.

I've seen unproductive people succeed simply because they show up early and leave late while doing less than average work. It's all about appearances.

Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what's the bfd

It was the FBI who released this info. You'd kinda think there'd be no need to publicly share this kind of info because it is not relevant and not great for surviving family members.

Google Maps is over! The tech giant complies with EU orders to remove navigation services from search results
I understand the why of this but this is not an improvement. I suppose search engines should ask you which maps provider you want and then show results based on that.

Yes only deport the other illegals, not the ones I know and love.
No humans are illegal, it's sad how selfish people are these days

If only batteries where still that easy to replace. I'd never buy a new phone again.

What's a good and non patronising way to help my neighbour out
My two cents: bottom line she needs the cash, and fast. Don't worry about pride. Don't have her do your garden work if you're not hiring her because of her skills.
You can ask if there is anything you can do to help and don't be vague about wanting to give financial support. If she says she won't take your money, call it a loan. Make it very clear the the first priority is that this cat is healthy and the kid has a nice birthday. Money, pride, all that stuff comes not even second. Not even third.

The guy on the right has never seen a worksite or a dirt road. He drives around town to go shop at Whole Foods
Yeah these monstrosities are also gaining popularity in cities in the Netherlands. And for the trained eye you see their license plates containing parts starting with V, meaning they are bought by businesses so they don't pay BPM (a form of tax for vehicles which is substantial in the Netherlands). They are essentially getting these cars at two thirds of the price and the rest is paid by tax payers.
But the kicker is: the vehicle can be bought by any company. You can just start a business that doesn't do anything, get a car in that business's name for a reduced fee, and drive it whenever you want.
And then they drive around streets too narrow for these cars, obstruct vision for other drivers, be a menace to cyclists and pedestrians... I feel we can only fight this if we install a max vehicle size and weight in some urban areas.

I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
It's so weird that these days you have to almost bring a note from your doctor if you don't want a constant barrage of sensory overload

2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all
I understand how you might feel this way. But a key difference to the early 1930s is that there are many large-scale protests against far right extremism in Germany. The elections in the Netherlands did produce a right wing tendency, but there is no government as of yet and the PVV is still pretty far away from fascism. The other three large winners of the election are not even that right wing. At least no more than the party that ruled for the last 15 years.
That said, I do kinda hope that this phase passes quickly and that people will start to finally get along and care about our fellow humans. Even though we never have.
