  • Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

  • Lower your fucking ticket price
  • If I can offer some advice, just go on a Friday or Saturday. Way lower prices, it gives you a pretty good feel for the atmosphere, and there will probably be support series doing something as well. Watching races live is not very good anyway, it is not so easy to tell what is going on like on TV.

  • "Pipe"
  • Ceci n'est pas perdu

  • welp ...
  • https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.

  • sweet dreams
  • Just testing how deep Cunninghams law will go haha

  • sweet dreams
  • Nono, these are d orbitals. Although p orbitals are equally silly.

  • Become one with nature
  • Also very much a problem in Europe sadly. Of course not allowed, but pretty hard to detect. There are test that can tell the difference, but they are not accepted by the EU (yet?).

  • Rigged!
  • Drinking is definitely worse. Like, talking is bad sure, but drinking is much worse.

  • Professor meow meow
  • Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn't find any, sadly

  • Airborne radar scope image of the Normandy coastline taken just before the invasion.
  • Are you sure? It looks like the coastline in France... I don't recognize the Netherlands here at all. What coastline are we looking at exactly? I don't see the afsluitdijk, nor recognize the surrounding coastline. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to it as Zuiderzeedam.

  • Stumbled upon this from another community, do you agree?
  • I think it has its place. There is a clear difference between someone coming to a country for a limited time to do some specialized work with the intention of leaving, compared to someone who has little or no intention of ever returning to their country of origin. Both categories are incompareble in the type of support they need (or want), where they live, whether they need to learn the language, etc. Just ignoring the difference is a bit silly.

    Although I agree the term is misused sometimes.

  • NSFW
    I just trimmed my nails
  • Christian Horner?

  • Musical Genius
  • Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

    Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

  • This meme's factual accuracy is disputed. Please refer to Wikipedia guidelines
  • Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

    Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

  • Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?
  • Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

  • Tomatrule
  • Your definition of vegetable is "cannot be used as base for pizza sauce"? Oddly specific.

  • What are some things you can/should cheap out on?
  • Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

  • Living forever
  • People really think this. Most peoples knowledge stops at "evolution is when thing become better". And people that do realize don't talk about evolutionary pressure in the gut microbiome in the comic community.

  • People who use ‘smart drugs’ worse at complex tasks, study finds
    www.theguardian.com People who use ‘smart drugs’ worse at complex tasks, study finds

    Research has found those who use medications such as Ritalin without having conditions such as ADHD actually reduce their mental performance

    People who use ‘smart drugs’ worse at complex tasks, study finds

    I was always kind of skeptical of the type of person that swears Ritalin got them to the finals, bit happy there is now some evidedence as well.
