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

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.

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.

Plus the 5 years of warranty and 8 years of updates really makes it a phone to last.

I just switched from OnePlus 7 to FairPhone 5 because the battery on the former just wasn’t holding up anymore. If that becomes a problem with my new phone, I can just switch the battery and keep using it.

I’m not familiar with Argentinian politics. What would you call him?

Most things I read the last few days called him left wing. But things get fuzzy calling people/parties left/right, especially across different continents.

Yes.

8h23 would be 7 before half 9.

But most people while speaking would just say 8.23 or 23 past 8.

In Dutch, the proper way to say it’s e.g., 8h30 is “half nine”.

Makes it extra confusing when they say the same in (British) English for 9h30. So short for half past nine.

You wouldn’t pronounce €8.50 as “half nine Euro”.

Even worse: the correct way of saying 8h40 is “10 past half nine”.

It’s not about the size of your laser, it’s what you do with it.

Sorry, I misread your comment as saying you were in the UK. That’s on me, you didn’t formulate it badly.

I do think that Erdogan’s reelection is worse for Turkey than Brexit is for the UK. And I think the latter is fucked up.

Still, I truly believe that a lot of people that voted against their own interest are victims of themselves and the lies they were fed. But I’m definitely too soft hearted and naive at times.

Like you said, I’m an outsider and didn’t mean to imply to mandate who you should have sympathy for.

You can still have sympathy for people that didn’t vote for him but are living there (so similar to remain voters living in a post-brexit UK), and even for people that voted for him based on lies.

Definitely more than 1 asshole in that story though. The biggest one not the one you know, imo

Who will be the judge to decide which people are a drain on society to kill?

Anyone burning down schools to “protect the children” should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn’t religion per se, it’s misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It’s the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

It’s a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.

It’s a lot easier and cheaper to build a solar plant of ten times the seize compared to one nuclear plant though.

How did you get those numbers though? A standard on-shore wind turbine has a maximum power output of 2MW. Let’s say on average, it’s half, so 1 million Watt. You’re counting 500k m² per turbine?

What kind of area did you use for the nuclear plant?

Also, solar has the added benefit that it can be installed on basically wasted space (e.g., people’s roof) unlike the others.

You mean Don Weasley?

Also, does this mean we have to destroy Putin’s horcruxes before we can stop him?

If Prigozhin has to spent the rest of his life in hiding as the rat that he always was, I’m okay with that

How is the WHO affected by the 2 party system?

Why don’ men wear skirts or dresses?

If you are arguing that anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, regardless of gender or religion, I agree with you. But I know that’s not what you’re saying.
