It's a bit unfair to blame mosquitoes (who are also only a small portion of insects). As far as I'm aware, the diseases hitch a ride in mosquitoes, not harming them typically. The mosquitoes aren't trying to pass it on; it ge

I don't have strong magnetic fields in my house (as far as I know...) but I am the bad combination of clumsy, anxious and forgetful. They're not a big worry for me either (I don't plan on sticking them to the fridge). But

Well, it was more fun than the one about Poland...and it wasn't all about death and dying and genocide, which is really as fun as Holocaust facts get.

"Everyone is a king, but some kings are more kingly than others." Fun fact about World War II Albania: pretty much uniquely, especially in the region (Yugoslavia had a death rate of over 80 percent, with some regions having death

By the way, of students who have heard of ChatGPT, 32 percent have used it. But more importantly, this feels like a broad thing. There's a huge difference between 'hey I have to write a paper on the Roman economy, what are some so

Until last year, when it broke, I had a Dell that seems to be from 2012 (Latitude E5530, but I might have gotten one of the numbers wrong), albeit refurbished and with more RAM. It was bulky and didn't have a lot of RAM (half as much a

Another bonus to World War II intelligence efforts was the relatively high number of German-speaking American Jews, some refugees from Nazi Germany, who had both the linguistic ability and motive to help. Second and third generation Japanes

Because Democrats continue to play by 'the rules', which only works if everyone else does. And Republicans don't. Quite frankly, this is starting to remind me of the lead-up to the civil war.

Why is my brain blanking on all possible puns about TikTok's time running out? Anyway, this feels early. Especially in California; they're banning four and a half hours before they need to, and I assume it's even earlier in A

There are different types of merge. There's the 'look at it! It just makes sense !' type. There's the 'we wanted to do this thing but you're already doing it' merge. There's the 'let's be a

From trying to research Jewish folklore, I can tell you there are a ton of books and archival materials (eg at YIVO) that have never been translated from Hebrew or Yiddish (or, occasionally, Ladino and other Jewish languages).

Minor correction, Shoah is Hebrew. See eg Yom HaShoah (literally: day of the catastrophe), Israel's Holocaust Memorial Day.

I agree that it's not ethnic cleansing, but that's an awful support. Just because you're bad at evil doesn't make you not evil. Like, I assume Israel's population has gone up since October 7, which doesn't make

TL;DR: After spending more time than reasonable gathering sources, I can conclude that, save for the first sentence in point 3 (and questions), every single sentence either justifies Israel's current conduct, is a flat-out lie, or both

The fact Jews emigrated to the Muslim world is an indictment of the Christian one, not praiseworthy for them. If we're killed every Tuesday in Europe but every other Tuesday in the Islamic world and move there it does not mean they wer

I don't like AI being used in anything remotely creative. I don't draw, not well, but I write, slightly better. I occasionally ask WordPress to have its AI generate a little blurb for me, and always wind up deleting it. It takes s

Oh yeah, how did I forget the memory stuff? Working memory is a common issue (as, I think, is conversion from short- to long-term memory). ...This was accidental and not me intentionally forgetting about memory.

First of all, ADHD is often co-ocurring with other things, like autism. Second, medicine is helpful, but it's not a panacea. Also, two common ADHD medicines in the US face FDA-imposed shortages, so prepare for many calls to the pharmac
