I think you might be confusing cause and consequence: it's not that the Brits and Dutch can't eat that stuff because it all gets shipped to France as the prices are higher there, it's that because the Brits and Dutch are not eating that stuff the prices are lower in Britain and The Netherlands than in France (were they do eat that stuff) so it mostly gets shipped to France.

I think you're confused. You literally repeated what I said.

You don't see much organ meats in the Netherlands and the UK much because they are shipped to France where the price is high (and being a part of the EU, the isn't any extra taxes for that). It's market choices, not dietary, combined with they were never a huge desire for them there.

I never said that they can't, it's that they didn't normally so they ship it out which now prevents people from developing a taste for it as it now goes out for a higher price.

As for the other part of why Portugal keeps it, it's for a local market and the issues that deal with it. Think like most Asian nations won't ship out rice for a higher price on the open market.

I've been to the USA, I've seen dessert pizza.

It's also why you don't really see much chicken feet for sale, they are shipped to China where the price is high.

Thank you so much for this. I got the code and game. You are so amazing for doing this.

I don't feel it is. They aren't saying that their physical requirements should be free (computers, engineers, programmers, electricity, etc...) which is what is being used for the analogy (cheese, ingredients, etc...).

It would be better to claim "I run a sandwich shop and couldn't afford to run it if I had to pay for every recipe, idea, and technique I use in the business."

Now, it's not as simple as this, and I'm not claiming it is. But this example isn't anywhere near correct. It's like the old claim that pirating something is the same as stealing it. The usage on one thing doesn't equal the loss of something physical.

It's one of those reasons why laws about this are difficult. Too strict and no one would be able to do "fan"-anything and many other issues ("if it uses AI" takes out many digital tools, etc...), too loose and you don't really have laws at all.

school-issued machines

Stopped reading right there. Whenever you are issued a device, you should immediately assume it's being monitored by the owner of the device. This goes for school/job/etc. The owner of the device will always be monitoring it for reasons of making sure you are using the device for intended purpose to making sure you aren't using it for illegal purposes.

I'm sorry I proved you wrong to the point you had to resolve yourself to personal attacks. Do you feel better now?

Really?... Wow, not only did you copy pasta one of the oldest trolls online but you can't understand how illogical the troll is. And you want to accuse me of being a child?

Your comment was disproved here.... In 2018. And it wasn't a new idea then either.

Your comment? I'm pretty sure yeah it was, and a really old one

So what you're saying is the biggest companies like Amazon, Google, ChatGPT, etc... can't perfect voice dictation when I'm talking directly and clearly to my device, but this company has been able to figure it out. And doing it while hiding from the smartphone OS that it's doing it. While the device is at a distance/hidden in my pocket. And is using it just to sell ads.
