  • So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

  • Because it is a word, or it's easier to say, or funnier.

    It's definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) 'fudney' for FDNY

    What it 'actually' is does not matter.

    It's ICE, as in: cold as

  • I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)

  • This is like one of our cats

    Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)

  • Ik heb de sneeuw die de gemeente gisteren met enige kracht van de straat verplaatst had naar mijn opritmet handkracht verder verplaatst naar naast mijn oprit

  • Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

    Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

    Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

    Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

    • sequence number of the test
    • temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
    • method of ice cube creation
    • volume of the ice cube
    • volume of water/ice mixture
    • depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
    • type of water used (tap, bottled, ...)
    • did the ice cube sink
    • if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

    please also share your conclusion.

  • Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

    German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to "hallo, wie geht's?" and ordering meals or drinks.

    The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

    Immigration depends on where you're from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it's not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

  • Lies. Cats don't ask questions, they assert their rightful place.

    Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!

  • I use some products by hama, and they are surprisingly good value for their price.

  • You don't scare me.AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I've never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

    I will never get to 20, yay!

  • I'm not sure if Roman Numerals are the best choice for statistics

  • You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15 yards meters away–if you're lucky. Or the cat thinks you finally have time for them and playfully pushes the ball die under the couch.

    I think my d30 is good enough.

  • Some great mind took hours to break this password. Hours!

    Spoiler: the pony survived!

  • Applying real world logic to game rules never works out.

    Also, you forget to take into account the weapon's mass, form, structural integrity, the commoner's reaction time, probability to fumble, the force of the wind, and probably a few dozen other factors that have an effect in the real world.

    Just don't. It's a game.

  • You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII

  • Not exactly what you asked, but close I think: a (paid) full gamified typing course for kids, in several languages including English: https://www.typetopia.com/

  • People that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.

  • Why? Do you think signing is done by spelling out words?
