Very well said. The key question is how do we, as a society, turn politics back onto that course, of considering the what and the how, not the person or the party.

The problem is more widespread than just America, it seems to take root anywhere you have an elected representative system and the electorate forget that they are the key part of the system.

Mayonnaise.

How's he doing? Well, he's been up and down.

Look, I'm not attacking them over this, as you rightly said, it has plenty of other drawbacks and concerns, I'm just emphasising that Google do have a large degree of influence over them. For instance, Chromium is dropping manifest v2 support, so Brave pretty much has to do the same. They've said that, as Chromium has a switch to keep it enabled until June (iirc) they've enabled that, but after Chromium drops manifest v2 the most they can do is try to support a subset of it as best they can. The Brave devs may not want to drop support, but Google have decreed it will be dropped, so they end up dropping it and having to put in extra work to keep even a subset working for some period of time.

If Brave gets even a moderate market share, Google will continue to mess them around like this as they really don't like people not seeing their adverts.

Ultimately it's software, so the Brave devs can do pretty much whatever they want, limited by the available time and money. Google's influence extends to making that either easier or harder, it much the same way as they influence the Android ecosystem.

They seem to have two levels of furniture; the flimsy, mostly made of particle board/cardboard and hope stuff, and the solid wood stuff. The latter is as robust any anything you'll get elsewhere, even assembled, just easier to get home and takes some assembly. I suspect it's mostly that that lasts, although even the lightweight stuff holds up well if you're carefully with it.

Both Brave and Chrome are built on the open-source Chromium browser engine

That's from the Brave website: https://brave.com/compare/chrome-vs-brave/

Yes there are plenty of changes, but it's built on it, and shaped by it, and Chromium is heavily influenced by Google. If chromium doesn't support v2 manifests it is unlikely that Brave will. In this particular case it may be that Brave's ad blocking and privacy features are equivalent to uBO, but it's still underpinned by an engine that Google has strong influence over, so it can't completely shake their influence.

Several models of helicopters have ejectable blades, this article mentions a few, and has a diagram of the blade severing system.

So you're saying it's a pressurized pachyderm propulsor? An elephant ejecting explosion? A hephalump hurling horde? I like it, and I definitely like the potential for kinetic chaos.

I know it's trite to say "calm down Satan", but, calm down Satan. You've captured the spirit of a Fae deal really well.

You win the internet for today.

Dude, what are you actually trying to make right now? Like, this isn't flight sim stuff anymore.

It'll only be done when you can get out of your plane, walk around, find a computer and start playing Flight Simulator 2024.

The issue with that is a criminal can commit a crime, then have an accomplice commit a crime against them. Now when the police investigate the latter and find out about the former they can't use the evidence, so convicting the criminal of the, presumably, more serious crime becomes impossible. Create a 'crime loop' and no one can be convicted.
