Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there's not much to find.

Dropping an anchor isn't done accidentally. There's a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn't make sense. It isn't "perfectly plausible" to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

George misstated what happened to his engine. See video. I'm guessing that's not the only thing he misstated.

Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

He assumed the rules don't apply to him. Rules are for the people you don't like.

it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it'll contaminate it and anything they'll touch afterwards.

People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they'll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that's pretty often.

Strangely there's some huge craziness where there's loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it'll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

I feel like this is something that won't really happen.

Similar things were said about abortion.

In Rotterdam (Netherlands) they're replacing the sewage system. People get a letter that they're responsible for the bit on their ground. In practice the city also handled the line to the house.

I don't understand why in your area they'd not take care of that bit. With everything mostly open it should be much easier anyway.

That the city doesn't promise anything is likely for things like liability and unique/expensive exceptions. But not doing that in practice, so strange.

Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you'll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

Not if you are a grifter and have leverage on the other person.
