Turkish shawarma doesn't exist. That's more towards the middle east. You won't really, find it in Turkey. Though I wish you could, because more diversity is always more better.

Anyway, the way naming kebap dishes works (kebap is not a dish, it's the name of a large and diverse family of meat dishes, not unlike salad) is you can introduce all sorts of variations into an existing dish, afterwards you're free to slap your own name on it. There are hundreds of examples of this in Turkish cuisine. So, Halifax Donair is fine. You invented a new variation of an existing kebap dish, you get to name it and claim ownership. That's how it is. What Germany has done is put their own regional spin on döner kebap, which had long existed, and then claim to have invented döner kebap itself. Call it Berlin kebap or whatever, but don't use the name of an existing dish. That's like claiming ownership of pizza margherita just because you added a couple new toppings and baked it in a square pan. It's dumb and wrong.

Gyros is made from spicy, marinated meat. Döner is made from just meat and fat, without any spicing or marinating or whatever. Gyros is made from pork, döner is a mixture of lamb and beef. They're also served a bit differently.

They're plenty different originally. In Germany they've been bastardized a little bit and brought close to each other. And then Germany went and declared they invented döner kebap, which is of course utter bullshit.

Never seen tearing look like a cracked mirror.

It's not an issue though, from what you're describing. People have control over their playlists. If that dude wanted to put that stupid video there, then that's his prerogative. YouTube can't "fix" that because a user doing whatever they want with their playlist is not an issue.

It doesn't have discussions, it doesn't offer pull request management with commented/annotated code reviews, it doesn't have built-in ssh and key management features, no workflows, no authorization tools of any kind...

In short I find the "just use git itself lmao" to be an exceedingly weird thing to say and I find it even weirder that it gets said as often as it does and it gets upvoted so much. Git by itself is not very useful at all if there are more than one a half people working on the same code.

Difference remains whatever people claim. Guns are weapons made to cause damage first and foremost, and tools second. LLMs are tools first and whatever else second. You can un-dangerousify a tool by using it properly, but you can't do that with a literal weapon. Danger and damage and harm is their entire reason to exist in the first place.

I'd like to know more about the differences between bird and pigeon.

Guns are made to kill. When someone gets killed by a gun, that's the gun being used for the thing's primary intended purpose. They exist to cause serious harm. Causing damage is their entire reason for existing.

Nobody designed LLMs with the purpose of using up as much power as possible. If you want something like that, look at PoW crypto currencies, which were explicitly designed to be inefficient and wasteful.

What's the death count at those events though? Did any of them require major construction to restore the damage done to critical public infrastructure?

IMO the back is easily the worst possible place for the sensor out of the 3. It's natural yes, but only accessible when you're holding the phone normally. Completely blocked when the device is laying on its back, awkward at best when it's mounted. Also not very accessible while holding the phone sideways.

The side is a little bit better. Natural enough to use while holding the thing normally, can still be operated otherwise if a bit awkwardly. Can use all 5 of your fingers.

Front is easily the best. Basically guaranteed to be accessible in any situation where you need to unlock the screen. Very natural to touch for the thumb while holding the phone normally, easy to use with any other finger while it's not in your hands. Doesn't require any extra holes or gaps in the case, if it's a modern in-screen sensor, which are more than fast and accurate enough these days.

1965 chateau de Castrol. Very good harvest, that year.

All sounds are short clicks that just repeat rapidly, if you think about it.
