And here I was thinking it was the practical application of a rather new technology, Radar, that warned the RAF fighters suddenly long before the German planes crossed the channel to do their attacking. Instead of reacting close-by or over Britain, now a lot of battles could already play out over the Channel. And it is also a lot easier to planes around when and where they are actually needed. That increases the success rate of defending airspace tremendously.

What's all this then? Radar? No such thing, chap, we just give our costal watchmen more carrots, turns out vitamin A does wonders for eyesight, what? Anyway, why don't you come with these friendly military police and we'll get this all straightened out, there's a good lad.

That's why it's called an extradition request, not an extradition order.

Extradition orders have historically been delivered by the US military; just ask Manuel Noriega and Saddam Hussein.

Of course it's a database. It's a literal base of data.

Is it ACID compliant? No. Does it need to be? No. It's not an RDBMS.

Who needs to collect location data?

Send back the name of the SSID you're on, and all the SSIDs you see, and look them up in a ssid geolocation database.

My dude, give 'Bullshit Jobs' by David Graeber a read.

You'll find that a lot of jobs are 16 or 24 hours of work, and 24 or 16 hours of sitting around warming a chair.

My daughter figured out she had aphantasia when she was in her first year of Psychology at university, and read about it in her text book.

She'd just never realized that turns of phrase like 'just picture it' were literal.
