Haha, thank you for the correction but also thank you for appending that last sentence, because otherwise I was going to say "Yes, okay, but Darwin probably didn't mean..."

Yeah it's in the marriage pros section, so I assume it's the latter. And worker bees can't reproduce.

I can say at least that it was a major point in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (1974).

Haha, so that's the first derivative of goalpost position. You could take the derivative of that to see if the rate of change is speeding up or slowing.

I just realized on re-reading your comment that you are actually agreeing with my main point (but it's too late to edit my other comment), you're just saying that I wasn't confident enough in stating it. I was just trying to

No, it's confusing but as far as I can tell what they're saying there is that if a species was ever photographed anywhere before, outside of iNaturalist, that species can't be part of the project at all. It's a page for

Both statements are in fact correct and non-contradictory. It's confusing, but I believe what they mean in the guidelines is that there are two criteria - The photos must be on iNaturalist - The photo must be the first photo of the spe

This seems like such a cool idea for a website, but then it's let down by the fact that it's actually First Known Photographs of Living Specimens Posted To INaturalist.com. I thought it'd be a bunch of photos from the 1800s b

Just seconding this channel. It's full of super interesting videos about genius old coding tricks like the one you linked.

It's a bit unfortunate that the car manufacturers themselves still aren't making official battery replacement an option.

Good point, I guess they probably did mean scour the country for suppliers, rather than ball machines! Even in context you could read it both ways: > First, they had to scour the country to acquire the 250,000 bouncy balls needed to crea

The thing for me is, fighting someone in a weaker position than you - even if you win - doesn't really make you look strong. Everyone knows you could beat that guy in a fight already. It just makes you look cruel.
