some motorways in the UK have emergency-only phones.
But those that get removed from villages are not replaced with emergency-only phones. Sometimes they get saved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I was also in a train station last week, still had 4 built into a pillar (1 vandalised though)

Hello @sanyaburgess.bsky.social, interesting finds presented here, but are these two parts of the article as intended? Perhaps something went wrong during editing/publishing.

“Proper work with boys” [is need **underlined**], King-Hill added, rather than a “broad brush blaming boys and demonising” them. In her view treating boys as a “potential threat” was the likely driver behind the increased uptake in incel and misogyny forums.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sg6ktighdayi6m7k6lm7le27/bafkreiatgsnszj3gwrk2eor3d3sbxm35qa5cojhicia5kcvrsryfx6bgmu@jpeg)

This part has been in the system prompt for a few months, I noticed a change since.
I find it to be self-reinforcing -- it tries to match (and then reinforce) its own 'vibe'. So as it goes on, it starts using emojis and stuff and really lean into the "vibe" aspect.

same for Europe - extremists have been having some resurgence because people are feeling the hit (from the war disrupting trade having knock-on effects).
People are more likely to vote that way (or vote at all) if their quality of life takes a hit. There's no weapon like someone's own situation.

Like that 'backgrounder' says there isn't enough transparency from NATO at the moment, but these below numbers come closer as to "who makes the payments" without confusing total defence expenditure with NATO-specific payments.

Per-sector wage growth?
There does seem to be data for it so a chart could be made with more sectors than this one.
But like this article suggests, the policy and incentives for each sector differs. moneystepper.com/financial-pl...
Was also thinking of comparing it to UK's economic peers in OECD

For total deaths (all-cause mortality): I think the weekly data stopped being updated in 2023. Best I could find for the US is quarterly.

Would that solve the area problem? The car brands would also use space.
The car dealers near me occupy less, but some of it is off-site (mainly out of town lots) until there's space for them at the dealerships. Still have areas of towns dedicated to car-trading but it's less than the US.

It's already calmed down somewhat. It's strange it happened now, because the model that was on-par with o1-preview was actually released a full week ago. Have a feeling Lunar New Year take-profits might have something to do with it.

They do have a paid tier for some features of their site and removing ads. But the newsletters are free for now
if you ignore the sign in / subscribe options, and scroll down on the page -- the email address text box is grey, so easy to miss.

From your replies I think you've last used it very long ago or not at all.
For the big ones (ChatGPT in my screenshot) they've added function calling to search online.
Problem remains that it can hallucinate info that isn't in the links, which will be a problem in schools.

after going to find it, I agree. Also happened to me before, it's way too easy to accidentally find something that people from "both sides" disagree about then frame it the "wrong" way.

In the UK it's pretty rare to have bollards at a bus stop, the most protected ones are like this, facing away from the road with a lot of space behind it. I wonder if that's more for splashing water than to protect from cars :/
