  • Thanks. I think the user who replied to me is the one with no idea that they're talking about. No way of measuring it comes close to 14.

  • All I see is a bed with an extra pillow.

  • A bit late, but the moon does not make "almost exactly 13 laps". Info from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_month

    If going by phases of the moon (synodic month), it makes 12.37 laps in a year. Not close to a round number.

    If going by position in the sky relative to the stars (sidereal month), it makes 13.37 laps - one more than the former measure, because of Earth's year cancelling out one month.

    There are also other ways to measure it, but none of them get anywhere close to an integer number per year.

  • Then please explain how the Hebrew calendar, and all other lunisolar calendars (calendars which follow both the solar year and the lunar cycle) have 12 months most years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunisolar_calendar

    "The majority of years have twelve months but every second or third year is an embolismic year, which adds a thirteenth intercalary, embolismic, or leap month."

  • It makes 12 months because the lap the Earth makes is deducted from the 13 the moon makes, so effectively it makes 12 cycles around the Earth.

  • How do you listen to music?

    Jump

  • FM radio.

    To be honest, I mostly don't listen to music. I do have a subscription to Spotify but I don't really use it. I'm not cancelling it because I'm on a Duo plan with my dad and he uses it a lot, really getting his money's worth.

    So the only time I do listen to music is while driving, and then I just turn on the radio. (I also don't drive very often, I mostly use public transport.)

  • "Flushable wipes"; "dishwasher-safe"; "odourless" - What are some other blatant lies that companies get away with?

    Jump

  • That's hardly relevant. All I'm saying is that this label is not a "blatant lie" like this thread calls for, it means something and it's regulated.

  • IIRC there is a legally defined set of criteria to call foodstuffs organic. It does mean something, but if has nothing to do with chemistry's definition of organic.

  • Okay, it's a bit of a grey zone. Your clothes are definitely part of your look but they are also choices.

  • That might work. You should at least phrase it more positively: "You're very brave." Your version is more of a neutral observation IMHO.

  • You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.

    That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

    3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I'd let someone else say it. Just hoped they'd be less condescending about it.

  • But like, it seems like she's a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it's not making that point.

  • You have a very pretty.... pistol.

  • what happens when you cut something?

    Jump

  • I think so, but if I'm honest, there's a chance I'm just imagining it 😅

  • what happens when you cut something?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure that generally some particles break off from either side whenever you cut something in half. When I cut paper with scissors I get a distinct smell, that's clearly paper particles that have escaped into the air. Under the right conditions you may even see some dust.

    When using a saw it is very explicitly removing material to create a gap between the two sides. You can see this clearly in a lot of woodworking videos on YouTube. For other tools like a knife, it's not as obvious, but I still think some material will inevitably be lost no matter what you do.

    Maybe some extremely specialized nano-scale methods can cut things without losing material, but I doubt that's something you can do on an everyday life scale.

    Disclaimer: I'm not an expert and I did 0 research, just giving my opinion and personal knowledge (which may be wrong).

  • Where will Europeans flee too?

    Jump

  • (Random thoughts, I'm clueless about this subject, it's safer to assume I'm wrong about everything)

    USA is an obvious first choice for many. I imagine other developed countries in the Americas will be hotspots too. The big question is which countries would accept mass influxes of European refugees.

    I wonder if enough could flee to Africa, and bring some substantial wealth with them... Would that actually help Africa catch up to the developed world? Or would it instead just be new colonialism?

    Of course Africa is huge, diverse and messy, so that's a very vague answer/question.

  • Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

    Jump

  • Yes, this isn't new but it's resurfacing thanks to the Steam Machine. Basically (off my memory), part of your title is accurate: AMD did create a FOSS driver with HDMI 2.1 which does not violate HDMI forum requirements, but the HDMI forum still vetoed it. I don't know if it would necessarily "disclose the specification" as the first part of your title suggests, but I didn't dig into the details enough to say for certain.

    Basically a dick move by HDMI. Maybe Valve can push their weight on this, we'll see.
