Well, you can't believe them even if it's not. People tend to remember things that never happened. Other than that, GP may have just been teasing. I mean what's the probability that you call them and they still have the same

Because brands have a value. And probably VW doesn't really care that much if some people call them wolkswagen instead of folkswagen (even if they could pronounce the latter). Also, I don't think FW would look better than VW ;). A

I found a YT video saying it's "wo er wo". Which suggests they have a hard time pronouncing it, which shouldn't come as a surprise given how different their phonemes are. Approximating it, because you can't pronounc

Nope. It's not about using similar phonemes instead of the actual ones a German would use. It's trying to pronounce the wrong word/name. The name doesn't start with a V but with an F. It's just written with a V. It&

This is an interesting observation. As a non-native speaker I was surprised by how many German expressions are used in English (with the correct German spelling). Even when there is a perfect (or near perfect) English equivalent. However, t

My understanding was that it gets cut into pieces (probably nucleotides in the end) and then reused. I've done a quick google search and it seems that there are multiple mechanisms: http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/remco-

No. For a number of reasons. First of all, the virus uses the nucleotides (A, G, C and U, for wich Ψ is used as a substitute) produced by the attached cell to create a copy of it's genome (RNA). The nucleotides are produced by the cell

Nope. It has been explained several times that 5-10 years wasn't needed because that's how long the actual testing took. It was partly due to funding issues, partly due to administrative issues, etc. E.g. the review process has

You'll usually just run a few tests if you are working on a specific feature and only run more of them when you think you are done. So most of the time there will be too little difference to make up for the increased compilation time.

Yes, this idea is nothing new. It's called sports. But at the end, when you keep losing at the game, you can still grab a knife and kill the f*ckers and just take away the trophy. Or just feel better. War is and has always about killin

Pretty bad example. A wedding photo has intrinsic value mostly to the people who pay for it and has about 0 value to about everyone else. (There is a small group of friends and family for whom it as some, lower value.) Most NFTs don't

I don't get the point. Why not just send monthly payments to a programme like Ecologi ( https://ecologi.com/ )? Of course, if you can convince people who you can't convince otherwise, this is helpful too.

My biggest gripe with note taking apps is that basically all of the ones I've seen take the IDE approach. They are not as much note taking apps as specialized document editors. Because of this I'm still stuck with Tomboy which is

I think the platform makes little difference. The app store/play store app game is a long tail one: most apps make exactly 0 money and see very little traction.
