Bah, I see this was already posted here a year ago - only two comments showed up when I searched for the url before posting!

If you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that's probably a more sensible place to start.

"Commentator posts hot take, demonstrating a massive lack of empathy to people doing a stressful and important job."

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there's a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.

A metaphorical tongue-lashing is speaking harshly and critically, but it could easily be misunderstood as referring to cunnilingus.

People say they want that, but do those independent cinemas get enough people through the doors to stay open?

The country

Which country?

aluminum

Never mind.

actually...I've just checked fact-checked myself and apparently Canada also says aluminum but 🤷

Hmm, not really. It's only because it nerd-sniped someone who was trying to do something completely unrelated that this came to light. If that person has been less dedicated or less skilled we'd still probably be in the dark.

I assume it's just an example of how to create new topical words since it's a lot easier to name an album than to get a word well-known enough to be eligible for the dictionary.

The artists all seem to be big names so I assume it's their popularity rather than any history of quirky album names that's decided the list.

I think "partnering" is a bit strong - Kagi uses Brave as one of their various sources for search. I agree that Kagi's response was poor, though.

Most people have missed the bit about time dilation messing up the clocks used in signalling, which I thought was interesting at first. However, surely the fix is just as simple as including a timing signal with the transmissions?

Ah, was it a typo or topo that got autocorrected? We'll never know (fixed, ta).
