Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don’t feel like it’s their responsibility.

Is that z as in Zionism or gen-z or ruzzia? Or a little bit of all

I was looking to try Qobuz, but they didn’t like my email domain, so skipped it.

Good thing financiers have such a good track record of creating rational and sustainable markets. The Great Depression and 2008 will never happen again, collective intelligence when trying to earn all the money is the only sound basis of trust.

Also, fuck Sabine.

I started using Curve since I swapped to Graphene. Upsides: it’s not google and it works fine. Downsides: it’s a free as in beer app that (I assume) is selling my data.

I’ve read that Monzo used to have their own NFC payment app, but it looks like that isn’t around anymore and they just integrate with Google Pay now. If anyone knows more about it I would love to hear it.

Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn’t republicans winning because dems didn’t vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can’t wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.

The Nazi gold is still very much a thing. And the descendants of Jewish people who died in concentration camps are often unsuccessful in reclaiming any wealth that was stored in Swiss banks, because they don’t have death certificates and what not. Switzerland is incredibly stubborn and selfish when it comes to anything that would tarnish their neutral stance in banking and politics.

I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn’t comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven’t read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don’t plan to comply.

To be clear, this is a UK law now applied to any website that serves UK citizens. Anything that hosts adult content requires UK citizens to provide some form of age verification. Like a photo (for AI age estimation), credit card, utility bills, and so on. The government is dumb, and I guess it’s time to just sit on VPNs 24/7 now.

I know it’s not a rule, hence why I put it in quotation marks. I noted in another comment that, yes, the proper way is to group it as 1+(-2)+3 and you can do it in any order. What I meant with ““rule”” is the meme questions pray on people not understanding/remembering what the actual rules are or why “left to right” conventions exist.

If you love the Chinese low quality drop shipped items on Amazon, and wish that was the only thing they stocked, then Temu is great!

“A common mistake is to think division is prioritised above multiplication”

That is what I said. I said it’s a mistake to think one of them has a precedence over the other. You’re arguing the same point I’m making?

I’m not gonna question it, and just be happy it works for now 😄

That’s the point. You get all the videos, but with a lot less crud.

I’ve never done it, but I wonder if turning on the rear fog lights would work. You’re not braking, but they might think you are. I don’t know what the legality of that would be

100% with you. “Left to right” as far as I can tell only exists to make otherwise “unsolvable” problems a kind of official solution. I personally feel like it is a bodge, and I would rather the correct solution for such a problem to be undefined.

I fully agree that if it comes down to “left to right” the problem really needs to be rewritten to be more clear. But I’ve just shown why that “rule” is a common part of these meme problems because it is so weird and quite esoteric.

Except it does matter. I left some examples for another post with multiplication and division, I’ll give you some addition and subtraction to see order matter with those operations as well.

Let’s take:
1 + 2 - 3 + 4

Addition first:
(1 + 2) - (3 + 4)
3 - 7 = -4

Subtraction first:
1 + (2 - 3) + 4
1 + (-1) + 4 = 4

Right to left:
1 + (2 - (3 + 4))
1 + (2 - 7)
1 + (-5) = -4

Left to right:
((1 + 2) - 3) + 4
(3 - 3) + 4 = 4

Edit: You can argue that, for example, the addition first could be (1 + 2) + (-3 + 4) in which case it does end up as 4, but in my opinion that’s another ambiguous case.

So let’s try out some different prioritization systems.

Left to right:

(((6 * 4) / 2) * 3) / 9
((24 / 2) * 3) / 9
(12 * 3) / 9
36 / 9 = 4

Right to left:

6 * (4 / (2 * (3 / 9)))  
6 * (4 / (2 * 0.333...))  
6 * (4 / 0.666...)  
6 * 6 = 36

Multiplication first:

(6 * 4) / (2 * 3) / 9  
24 / 6 / 9

Here the path divides again, we can do the left division or right division first.

Left first: 
(24 / 6) / 9  
4 / 9 = 0.444...

Right side first:  
24 / (6 / 9)  
24 / 0.666... = 36

And finally division first:

6 * (4 / 2) * (3 / 9)  
6 * 2 * 0.333...  
12 * 0.333.. = 4 

It’s ambiguous which one of these is correct. Hence the best method we have for “correct” is left to right.
