Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.

I know it’s pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I’m not a weirdo (well…). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes

Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a “I am all Hamas on this blessed day”.

For the ones not in the know:

Speak for yourself

Yes, but why would you listen to what Hamas has to say?!?!

The amount of heavy elements present in a star when it formed will be neglible to the amount that will be created over time through fusion.

You can actually detect this through spectroscopy because the initial amount of metals will be present in the outer layer of the star. Heavy elements made through fusion will be mostly in the core.

The reason stars formed from primordial gas, i.e. only consisting of hydrogen and helium, is that such a gas will fragment less as it cools and collapses. Less fragmentation means heavier stars.

I only have a high level knowledge of the process though.

If you like peeing on koalas and getting caught in the rain

Thanks! I knew I must have missed it, but couldn’t find it.

Shouldn’t you ask for the cat’s age as well as the recordings? Or did I read over that?

It might be worthwhile to gather some other information about the cat, like whether they’re indoor or outdoor cats, former strays or not,…

By not voting, you are still, implicitly, voting for the candidate who you wouldn’t have voted for. Do you think he’s not supporting Israel?

Do you think he even has any moral standing?

That’s who you’re voting for by not voting.

You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.

That’s exactly what you are doing. You’re focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.

You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.

Would this not be considered as “providing comfort to insurrectionists”, as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.

So even if they argue he supposedly wasn’t involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.

When the call is coming from inside the (white) house…

(Edit: to be clear, back in 2020)

The reason there is a difference in how much light is reflected, is because the moon is in a different position. During a new moon, it’s on the day side of the earth (so in between the sun and the earth) while during a full moon, it’s on the night side.

So there could theoretically be a gravitational effect, although I don’t think it would impact anyone’s sleep.

If anyone is noticing a difference in sleep quality, it’s most likely indeed to do with the amount of light.

And miss out on stuff like this?!

I’ve been thinking we should play on xenophobe’s fears to get them to support actions to curb climate change.

At least their bigotry will have some positive result then.

Of course, ideally, they could be convinced that not “all brown people are bad” (sic) and also support climate change action, but we all now how likely that is.

This is essentially a pro freedom of speech legislation.

It’s not though. It doesn’t just protect employers to call anyone whatever pronoun they want, it mandates that the preferred pronoun for trans people (and others) are not used.

It doesn’t just protect bigotry, it requires it.

Is this Grok output?

bc they haven’t had as terrible of a racist past as the US

You do know the Holocaust happened in Europe right?

Other than that, I do agree with you. Europe is still very racist but we like to think we’re not. Just because it’s less talked about, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

It’s an easy rule, yes. It’s also an easy one to overlook if you’re not paying attention.

“Word je blij?”, but also “wordt je moeder blij?”.

It’s not like people don’t understand the rule. No native Dutch speaker would say “Loopt jij?”
