is it still owned by tencent?

why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.

e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.

[nitpick] could have written a black “シ” in front of the “sh” to keep consistency with the other katakana. Also it looks like a grinning smiley, which is also nice.

Heinlein himself was libertarian

didn’t he change his views a couple times during his life?

so why not copy them?

oh, I totally agree with you.

In fact standards are made to be copied. That’s like the entire point of them.

People behind ISO 216 thought of everyting

how to make a good standard:

step 1: copy from DIN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216#History

Accusing a man of being “ergi,” which is basically unmanly, was enough of an insult to be answered with blood

“using gay as an insult” is not proof of extreme homophobia. By that logic every teenager on the planet would be extreme homophobic.

In fact, pretty much every descriptive word can be used as an insult. If anything your example proofs, that vikings take insults very serious.

because of two bodies can not occupy the same space, the feather and the ball will be in different position when you drop them. And therefor gravitation will pull the earth slightly more toward the ball and slightly less toward the feather.

I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.

so… it turns into a VRMMORPG fantasy Isekai?

elaborate?

Why can’t anyone study to become a qualified surgeon?

anyone can try

Beim Bau neuer Wohngebäude in der EU soll die Errichtung von Photovoltaikanlagen verpflichtend sein.

“Verpflichtend” im sinne von “Das Haus wird abgerissen, wenn man das nicht macht”, oder im sinne von “Man bekommt weniger Fördergeld wenn man das nicht macht (wodurch der Bau vielleicht unwirtschaftlich wird)”

the other stuff isn’t too wild either.

what are you going to do when there’s night

sleep

Die meisten “Ökonomen”, die man so im Fernsehen sieht, sind Lobbyisten aus Neoliberalen Echokammern. (Die Anstalt berichtet https://www.claus-von-wagner.de/tv/anstalt/20171107-neoliberalismus )

Es gibt echte Ökonomen (also tatsächliche Wissenschaftler, die wissen wovon sie reden), wie z.B. den hier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pzOAvZaM3M

how does it compare to yt-dlp?

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.

“hello OPS-team. Here is my simple program. Have fun running it on your kubernetes”

fucking Heritage Foundation, wow.

At this point they are just evil for the sake of being evil.
