We also found that, unlike similar US studies, there was no significant bias against female students. In fact, there was some evidence of positive bias, or preference, for female students.

And then, in the caption:

Our study found academics did not discriminate against potential candidates based on gender.

Some mild irony there

But in seriousness, really good to see this quantified, but sadly not a huge surprise

New Zealander here. A lot of the lower limits being rolled back were specifically targeting school zones. This is genuinely about children’s safety

One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I’m so glad Lemmy has this too.

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

Shells. Because I’m less likely to get eaten.

Seriously though. Fuck shell pasta where they all stick together

If you’re moving away from text formats, might as well use a proper serialisation tool like protobuf…

My recollection of The Bear is that they ended up using a ring mold and serving it without the crust… Was there another scene I’ve forgotten about?
