Whatever it is you can talk engagingly about, unscripted. Following that, whatever you can talk engagingly about, scripted.

Doesn’t matter if you’re actually doing the voiceover; just having the ability means less time setting up shots and editing.

"The purpose was to learn more about OceanGate," the department said in an email.

"Upon conclusion of the mission, it was determined that [OceanGate's] priorities did not align with the department's scientific objectives, and a further relationship was not pursued."

What’s the actual purpose here? You share the link with the airline if your luggage doesn’t show up in the carousel and…?

I know how it should work — you check your luggage location as you enter the airport, find that it isn’t at the same airport you’re at, you submit the form, and the airline does its best to redirect the luggage from wherever it is to your destination address as fast as possible.

But 99.9999% of the time, the airline already knows where the luggage is; they just messed up their logistics. So this sort of program would just add an extra step to the process without adding anything useful, right?

And if you check the location and it’s in a dumpster somewhere, the airline won’t be able to redirect it anyway, and you’ll need to contact the police and send THEM the location URL.

There are so many places in the world that make wine. Most would be more than happy to have Canada as a preferred trading partner.

What territories that the US owns are they planning to swap with Russia?

Isn’t this what Russia already agreed to in 2014 — with the exception that, back then, it made the agreement with Ukraine, not the US?

We already know that they’ll just pause the fighting until they think they have the advantage… again.

What he didn’t mention is that ‘FAILURE AND DISGRACE’ is also the likely outcome if courts DON’T strike down his tariffs. He’s screwed the economy either way at this point.

Tariffs are just the government taking money from the people after all. Kind of like the UK tea tax.

Less calculations from a more complex starting point. They’ve done the heavy lifting so the calculations don’t have to.

So in other words, they discovered a more complex starting point from which to observe pi.

Yeah; that’s passkeys in action. It’s your Android phone setting up the passkeys vault that’s doing the face capturing, not LinkedIn. LinkedIn is showing you the QR code as a means of using passkeys for verification.
