Reply to comment by DarthBuzzard in Report: Apple’s 2023 mixed reality headset to feature full-body FaceTime avatars and iOS-like interface by DarthBuzzard

But it's just distracting and potentially problematic in a professional context and weird in a personal context with family or close friends.

So, maybe it's useful for the phone calls you make to people that are not for work and are not with family or close friends? Which would be a pretty small proportion of phone calls for most people.

Reply to TIL in 1994, David Kang fired two blank shots from a starting pistol at Prince Charles during an Australia Day speech. He was found guilty of threatening unlawful violence and sentenced to 500 hours of community service. In 2004, he was admitted to the NSW Bar and is a practising barrister. by Str33twise84

The footage is pretty interesting. It was a big talking point at the time that the New South Wales state Premier, John Fahey, reacted faster than anyone, including the security staff, and before it was apparent it wasn't a real gun, and grabbed Kang and wrestled him to the ground in a headlock.

Reply to comment by avogadros_number in Bering Land Bridge formed surprisingly late during last ice age, study finds - By reconstructing the sea level history of the Bering Strait, scientists found that the strait remained flooded until around 35,700 years ago, not long before humans began migrating into the Americas by avogadros_number

Makes sense that it appears not to have formed until shortly before discovered indications of human migration to the Americas.
