Why is that?

I asked Dr Karl once, but he avoided the question.

Not to mention that the vote was boycotted by Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldova.

They were sooooo keen to return to the Russian embrace (/s).

Is it was so great, why did most of the conquered nations run west as fast as they could as soon as they could? Must have been because the USSR was so ‘progressive’.

Let’s start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

Isn’t this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that’s bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that’s catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, “Don’t pick up pennies in front of a steamroller.”

Sorry, I don’t.

I saw some documentary that suggested that they used to chip straight through fossilized feathers and skin to get to the bones because they didn’t realise what they were.

Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.

It’s even better than that. It’s a computer’s version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story which was then front-paged by a computer.

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/canadian-culture/canadian-culture-naming

In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

• BOUCHARD
• TREMBLAY
• DION
• ROY
• BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
• DION-ROY
• BOUCHARD-DION
• BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

Came here to say this.

FreeCAD. I’m not sure why more people aren’t using tbh.

I read somewhere that this can mean they think you might steal stuff.

This. Has changed my life.

Clickbait title. The graph looks pretty balanced actually.

Your eyes are a part of your brain.

Doesn’t seem to match with my understanding. Got any references for that?

Showing your age now!

There doesn’t seem to be any monolithic music culture at all anymore. Everyone has super customized spotify playlists.

I’ve noticed this too. In some ways it makes it harder to find new music.
