Literally, "water man" is correct. But I would translate it a bit more loosely as "water bearer".
Most, if not all, names of zodiac signs in Dutchare are literal translations from Latin. But while most people understand that Leo means Lion, how many know Cancer is Latin for crab?
Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.
I know it's pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I'm not a weirdo (well...). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes
Clearly you don't understand the first-past-the-post system the US presidential election utilises.
The chance isn't just slim. It's astronomical.
The chance of Cornell West winning is probably smaller than a bit-flip happening, switching your vote to another candidate. That's how little chance your vote would have to make the country a better place.
On the other hand, every vote not casted for the only viable non-Trump candidate helps Trump.
I'm European and would love for you to have the option to vote for proper social democrats or greens (especially greens!). But please, every US citizen needs to do their part to not get fascists get hold of your country.
It's sad to say, but if you don't vote for the democratic candidate, you might not have a chance to vote 3rd party in 4 years. (I don't like fear mongering, but it's a real enough possibility)
No worries. I was hesitant to post both comments, knowing they might be misinterpreted.
Oh, absolutely. Was hoping for a "I am all Hamas on this blessed day".
For the ones not in the know:
The amount of heavy elements present in a star when it formed will be neglible to the amount that will be created over time through fusion.
You can actually detect this through spectroscopy because the initial amount of metals will be present in the outer layer of the star. Heavy elements made through fusion will be mostly in the core.
The reason stars formed from primordial gas, i.e. only consisting of hydrogen and helium, is that such a gas will fragment less as it cools and collapses. Less fragmentation means heavier stars.
I only have a high level knowledge of the process though.

Thanks! I knew I must have missed it, but couldn't find it.
Shouldn't you ask for the cat's age as well as the recordings? Or did I read over that?
It might be worthwhile to gather some other information about the cat, like whether they're indoor or outdoor cats, former strays or not,...
Funnily enough, the image most of us have of Caligula is likely very exaggerated.
By not voting, you are still, implicitly, voting for the candidate who you wouldn't have voted for. Do you think he's not supporting Israel?
Do you think he even has any moral standing?
That's who you're voting for by not voting.
You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.
That's exactly what you are doing. You're focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.
You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.
Would this not be considered as "providing comfort to insurrectionists", as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.
So even if they argue he supposedly wasn't involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.
The Department of Culture of the City Council of Bezana directed by vox with the approval of the mayor Carmen Perez Tejedor (PP), has decided censor the screening of the film ‘Lightyear’ at the local summer cinema for the scene in which they appear two women kissing.
According to ‘eldiario.es’, the council has decided to replace it with ‘Bad Guys’, reprinting all the municipal posters and changing one film for the other. The decision has raised many criticisms on social networks, including that of Adriana Lastra, who describes the PP as “a danger to freedom.”
This decision comes in a week in which Vox has intensified its crusade against the LGTBI flag, with Juan Garcia-Gallardo, vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León, calling her a “rag”. We have also seen how in town halls such as Mérida, the ultra-right wants to remove that flag, hiding behind “what the Supreme Court says”, a false premise.
As the journalist Alfonso Pérez Medina explains, the Administrative Litigation Chamber ruled in 2020 on the so-called Canarian national flag, establishing that an unofficial flag cannot be placed next to the official flags, but leaving the door open for them to be placed anywhere else on the façade.
The truth is that it is not the first controversy surrounding this film, which It was banned at its premiere in 14 countries. from the Middle East and Asia for that same kiss. In the case of the Office of Media Regulation of the Ministry of Culture and Youth of the United Arab Emirates, they hide behind the fact that Disney had not allowed them to cut parts of their film.
There were also Latin American cinemas that warned that this film contained “gender ideology”. The ‘Washington Post’ came to collect that some Disney executives asked Pixar to remove the scene, something to which the company refused. “We’ve had the full backing of the studio,” said Angus MacLane, the film’s director.
