Does that actually count as a police department or is that more like a private security company and they have to call the real police if anything happens?

European here. "Pepper munitions" aren't military weaponry as they're banned for use in war by the Chemical Weapons Convention. This all reads like riot control stuff. The only weird thing is that american universities have their own police departments.

Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

And your sources? I only did a cursory search, and according to the IEA data centers are responsible for somewhere in the range of 2-6% of electricity demand. Renewables are currently around 30% globally.

Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors.

Literally under the headline.

You can tell by the fact that jumping spiders are cute and recluse spiders are not.

so long as you are at least twice as large.

Which really isn't that much of a challenge considering the largest jumping spiders are 2.5cm in length.

Considering that the goal of drinking games is to get you drunk I think it's ironic that the winning team in almost all of these games is the one that drinks the least.

In France the president normally chooses the prime minister backed by a majority in the national assembly, otherwise the majority would do a vote of no-confidence and the president has to find a new prime minister. The current problem is that there's no majority.
