  • What if it's a convolution though 🤔

  • The thumb muscle being the intersection bayern the thumb and palm right?

    For me it's my middle finger but same effect I guess

    Although listening it sounds more like the sound is coming as it moves past the knuckle

  • You could say the same for Palestine and yet a lot of the same people who criticise China and Russia love to praise Palestine...

    I think a lot more of it is based on either who is the aggressor or a deep rooted hatred of the west depending on whether or not you're a tankie

  • If you can, put things on the walls - you can get cheap paintings from charity shops, posters etc

  • only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?

  • That's why we invented bridges and viaducts, we didn't want the trains to feel left out

  • I'm not convinced on this whole "things happening in Austria" malarkey, it sounds very unlikely

  • On the /s, I somewhat unironically agree with that more than the case of just obtaining citizenship

  • woe is me, a news source that wants to remain independent of outside interests is taking steps to avoid having to get funded by big businesses or the government who'll want to set an agenda...

    I'd be more concerned about reading something free and not ad-supported (and like it or not, untargeted ads are next to worthless), as the money has to be coming from somewhere

  • This is a press release and not a news article though, it's absolutely not their job or place to say what people in other states or countries should do, they don't have any jurisdiction or official knowledge of processes or proceedings outside of their state

  • Yes, but for human related reasons. Humans moved them around a lot in Africa and Asia - moving them from Southeast Asia to India and Madagascar is bound to have an impact on the currents they get caught up in.

  • No, 1-12 are influenced by the old base 12 Germanic/Norse system, which is why -teen starts at thirteen, same as in German (11: elf, 12: zwölf, 13: dreizehn, 14: vierzehn & so on)... The -teen for 1x in english is also a carryover from this, being threeten, fourten, fiveten etc. with only numbers over 20 having their orders reversed - German has something similar with "und" only appearing in numbers over 20. English did historically too, eg. "four and twenty blackbirds".

    Base 20 was historically used for large numbers though, eg "four score and seven years" by Abraham Lincoln, which was a poetic way of saying 87 inspired from Psalms 90:10, which says "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." in the King James Version, which reflects that using base 20 for large numbers (and not just 80) was not uncommon in the 17th century.

  • Gemini and Copilot are often overly cautious with their guardrails on generating anything violent or misinformation, although super easy to bypass in most cases

  • Images are a lot easier to create "good enough" generations of locally compared to text and video... I imagine the driving force is probably horny people like 99% of other innovations on the internet

  • Exactly, 60k rows is negligible enough in most cases that you can just treat it as free unless you're doing a cross join on it or something, unless he's doing something like using an unordered text file as his database with no ram or cache

  • A lot of people here are saying it's cheaper to run in person...

    For purely theoretical degrees, that's not true: having to maintain a campus is way more expensive than just doing things remotely, but for more vocational degrees it definitely is: imagine having to send a fume hood or injection moulder or oscilloscope out to every student as well as chase up getting it returned, along with shipping any hazardous materials like batteries, acid, biological samples etc. out, and verifying that people are actually handling those correctly?...

    For science, medical and engineering degrees, online tuition is just going to produce people vastly underprepared for work in anything that requires the skills & knowledge the degree is meant to provide you, and as they're the most expensive programs to run you can subsidise them with the other degrees, but only if they're treated as comparable, ie being on the same campus.

  • for speedtest, fast.com is pretty great as it's a pretty lightweight page and uses netflix's servers which mean it's not really possible for ISPs to game it

  • That's a bit harsh, prison is a way nicer environment than school

  • It's not evil, you're providing a service by offering the product in a more familar environment to people, but still it'd be good to be transparent about it rather than pretending you're the seller
