I mentioned that one because it’s been at it since way before the Internet and is now well known even beyond France for the extremely eclectic and high quality selection it plays. FIP originally stands for France Inter Paris, it was meant as a music only station with only very short interruptions with soothing voices for news and traffic. The women with those particular tones of voice became known as the fipettes, and got some kind of faceless celebrity as a result. It used to be a standard setting on every car radio before there were a bazillion ststions (and CDs, and streaming).

The problem with these, and all, automated systems that detect EVERYTHING is that current code enforcement hardly detects 0.1% of existing violations, by design.
True, but once it’s automated, it can easily be archived for future reference. Then it’s in your file for who knows what future use.

A very large portion of Microsoft’s efforts are dedicated to this. If they redirected just a bit of their work force to fixing their products, maybe people would actually want to use them, instead of being forced to.

No, that would be in metric, they were using imperial.

Technically, you can always use the library and the post office, so yeah, it’s a choice. I guess.

Unexpected good news. Well done.
Hasn’t that movie been censored in the US yet? They ban books, movies can’t be far behind.
