In the polar regions there are extended periods of wintertime where the sun does not rise.

Poisons are ingested where as venoms are injected.

If you bite (or drink, etc.) it it’s poison. If it bites (or stings, etc.) you it’s venom.

That’s just 1 year’s sales. If the TV lasts 5 years it’s raking in 5 times the data. 190M x 5 = 950M/year, and 5 seems conservative.

do you have to say it while flipping your finger up and down over your lips?

Oh, no! Not again!

Missed an opportunity to title it The Minecraft Family Robinson.

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Alexandrite interface and it has what you’re looking for in a collapsible menu.

My guess:

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…"

“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”

“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”

“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”

“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”

“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”

“What?”

“I said,” said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, “have you got any gin?”

“I’ll look. Tell me about the lizards.”

Ford shrugged again.“Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them,” he said. “They’re completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone’s got to say it.”

“But that’s terrible,” said Arthur.

“Listen, bud,” said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say ‘That’s terrible’ I wouldn’t be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”

I wasn’t aware that every year had a wikipedia page…but I tried some others and it kinda seems like it does.

The text in OP’s post is the copied transcript of the letter (including the random number 2 used for citation). It contains no commas and uses an ampersand.

Maybe he wasn’t a fan of any commas.

I can see the headline now: Cruise ship loses no passengers; completes route on time

The jiggly argument is about not all parts moving at once or in one direction. If you jiggled to the right by taking one 18 inch step to the right, sticking your left arm straight left, waiving your right arm in a complete circle, holding your left foot 3 inches off the ground, and squatting down 10 inches how far have “you” moved?

ninja ,

yup, slope intercept is the name of the formula. m is the slope of the line and b is still the y intercept.

ninja ,

I’m not a mathematician but if I recall correctly slope is defined the change in y over the change in x. In your formula solved for x, m would represent the inversion of that, the change in x over the change in y.

They tried going after the servers and owners and found it impossible to defeat all the piracy sites. There are too many sites scattered across too many jurisdictions and new ones are created too easily. Instead, they want ISPs to do the work for them. When the ISPs fail the MPAA can sue them and make more money.

The article found the numbers the OP image was based on.

For 2019, according to the SSA, the median net compensation for American workers was indeed less than $35,000 — it was $34,248.45, to be precise

The $35k was rounded. Less than half make more.

I need a diagram about how to read that chart.

Pornhub and other adult sites sue EU over landmark digital content law (www.aljazeera.com)

Pornhub and two other adult sites are suing the European Union over a landmark digital content law, the Digital Services Act, which imposes age verification and other obligations on large platforms. The European Commission last year named Pornhub, Xvideos and Stripchat as a category of “very large online platform” under the...

ninja ,

Digital age verification is only advocated by people who don’t know how the internet works. All it’s going to do is drive usage away from regulated sites to unregulated ones.

summary of the bill:

child support may be retroactive to nine months prior to the date the child is born if the order is entered within the first year after the birth of the child.

Even shitty lawmakers think of things like that.

I thought that was cool so I read the wikipedia page you linked…and that’s not what he did.

Carnegie’s funds covered only the library buildings themselves, and Carnegie gave library buildings to cities on the condition that the cities stocked and maintained them

He built the buildings but required the cities to pay for the upkeep. We want it the other way around. The libraries already exist but someone has to pay to keep them running.

It’s fire stations right? There were those laws that let you abandon children at fire stations without repercussions.

Laws tend to be documented quite well. legiscan.com/NY/text/S08008/2023

Don’t worry, the US Treasury has directions:

One side committing war crimes doesn’t justify the other side committing war crimes. Everyone knows Hamas isn’t following the rules. If they did they wouldn’t have blown the wall and murdered swaths of civilians. That doesn’t justify murdering more civilians.

It’s a lemming.
