iirc it’s ‘several species of small furry animals gathered in a cave grooving with a pict’

Almost every thought process you think is common sense has a name, because it isn’t common sense to everyone, and needs to be taught to some. Everyone has their blind spots.

Yep, maths and science are only partially about learning maths and science. The even more important purpose is learning critical reasoning skills, which is a requirement for media literacy.

That’s a very good and respectful way of solving the issue, thank you for sharing!

How does facial recognition work without recording the faces it’s supposed to recognise?

Not a false dilemma at all. I’m not comfortable with being recorded onto some rando’s hard drive either. It’s still recording and tracking me against my consent.

I have this, and I cannot stress enough how much this use case is not worth being recorded and tracked in public against my consent

I remember being like 7 and trying that out for myself by touching a lemon slice to different parts of my tongue. I think when I realised that it tasted sour regardless of where on my tongue I touched it to was when I first started questioning authority.

I’m from a place where car safety rules are pretty strictly enforced and e-bike and e-scooter ones are not. As someone who almost exclusively walks and uses a non-electrical bike, and rarely a (shared) moped, I see MUCH more reckless behavior from people on bikes and scooters than people in cars. That is to say, having regulations and actually enforcing them does the trick. Id love to see it with e-bikes and scooters, so more people can feel safe on sidewalks and bike paths. Ive heard a lot of people say reckless electrical riders deter them from biking and walking more.

The wishing they weren’t a specialist is so real. I wish my psychiatrist was also my GP and my therapist. I’ve found out through her about diagnoses that are in my chart that nobody ever bothered to tell me about and that I overlooked in there, as well as about off label medication uses that you mentioned and medication or illness interactions I never would’ve guessed. Outside her domain too, e.g. between my thyroid meds and ibuprofen. All the GPs I’ve ever been to are either jaded, refuse to learn or admit you might know something they dont, or don’t take you seriously.

Fascining, thanks! I might try that if I remember when I’m in GB next year

Interesting! I haven’t been to GB in quite some years, so I might just have seen them and not remembered. Does it taste like raspberry?

I’ve been to over 20 European countries and I have never seen anything blue raspberry flavoured. I assumed it was an American thing and that it was just raspberry flavoured things that were also dyed blue.

Let me rephrase to be more precise. Cars of that size are not common anymore in the US, judging from then vs now parking lot photos. I know small cars are still being made; they’re making smaller cars than ever before these days, but that’s not an argument against there being a trend of cars becoming bigger on average over time.

It isn’t an exception. The car pictured is still much smaller than modern US cars (I think the pictured one is a US one but not 100% sure)

Yeah pretty much my point. I know you can maybe kinda construe it into the truth if you already know about the topic, like other commenters age saying, but it’s presented as educational, and does a poor job at educating with how misleadingly it is phrased.

Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition!

A LOT of the ones I’ve seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it’s normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there.

As an Austrian, this comment saying that ‘Berg’ translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I’ve seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.

I mean, the sentence either implies what I said before, or it implies that the barycenter is a point outside the sun. I really don’t see any other reading than those two.
