Firefox has been always the best browser as it is the only open and free (as free from adversarial incentives). Unfortunately many people (especially here) have advertised Chrome instead, naively believing Chrome to have these important pro

I think I was primed because of the title, so I was more attentive. For me it was the candle that appears unnatural, also pencils are a little too perfect and the label on the lighter is a little too clean. After 10th watching also the spea

I guess that by your standards "stupid" would be equally invalid. We don't use "retarded" as medical term. If you have a medical condition then you are "intellectually disabled". Retarded is now mainly use

They still might do B, but use proxies to determine probable race. This can be determined based on scales they apply to different high schools. Of course the underlining issue is US socioeconomic fabric that is the root cause of this issue.

I added this nuance because it is very difficult to imagine somebody who (on Earth) has not seen the blue color. But it is still a good examples, as I have also admitted.

Subtitles are a huge issue also when you are an expat. What irritates me the most is leaving out the original subtitles or original audio. I consider this especially hostile behavior.

I never understood this statement about the color blue like it has been claimed that ancient cultures may not have known it because they were not able to reproduce it and therefore were not able to knowingly see it. It reads nonsense to me

I'm not sure what the author really wants to tell me. Is it a reflection of himself, or a review of a book, a advert of an author, I lost interest as he lost interest while reading J R. Perhaps everything worth telling had been told al

I can see who you are. This comment is sufficient. Is this enough context for you?

I would disagree. The most US was willing to do was to cause some inconvenience. If US really wanted to stop Viet Cong infiltration then they should have built a proper demilitarized zone between Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Soviet Republics (SSR) post WW2 e.g. the occupied territories that were not in RSFSR. These "autonomous" republics were anything but autonomous. They we

In hindsight yes, most of this is true, but it is not guaranteed that all of this would have happened. Wehrmacht rapid advance was stopped, but it didn't yet mean pushing them out would have been possible without tremendous material su

USSR simply ran out of resources to continue the war. They would have happily continued if they could have been able to afford it. In the end the country had dire deficit of even basic everyday items including food. But similarly to the Vie

Nazi Germany won clear victories against Poland and France. Had UK given up and signed a peace with Germany then it could have been possible that there wouldn't have been what we call WW2 today at all. Given what Germans planned to do

Conventional war with the intent to destroy a nation is still a genocide. Terrorist attack with the intent to destroy as many members of a group as possible is still a genocide. dang, when it comes to moderation then my intent is not to inf

I see that many downvoters don't like that the things are named properly by their intent - I take it as showing support to the genocide in both cases. It still remains a fact that the genocidal war started by Russia has not yet been de

Possibly, but Russia internally felt that they lost. And this was significant contributing factor to the collapse of their empire.

In both cases, Vietnam or Afghanistan, US won, until it lost its sight and pulled out, leaving everything on the shoulders of a demoralized and ill-equipped local governance. Now this was unfair fight because this replacement was not willin

Russian genocidal war against Ukraine is not yet settled and the weapons used there are in constant evolution. If anything it is the response of Israel to the 7th October genocide that shows that expensive weapon systems in the hands of com

Actually no, it is not what happened in Vietnam and Afghanistan. In Vietnam there was constant foreign infiltration by the enemy and they used quite nasty "tactics" to gain local influence. Afghanistan is not much different. In pr

Does 20-m here stand for 20 meters or something else? "We also demonstrate successful 20-m transmission at a data rate of over-200 Gbit/s data rate."

I think it might be good. For a moment I was afraid that they are going to use generative AI to produce fake details on maps. Edit: but is it possible that it makes up things that do not exist and presents it as local trivia?

Not sure what is your angle here, but Neanderthal are considered to be "archaic humans" and while it is not technically wrong to write "humans" instead of Homo sapiens then it would be more correct in this context to be

For the informed reader. But it also implies that perhaps Neanderthals were not human, which is completely false.

On top of this you can close the circulation in cars. Something I often do and something that is not possible when cycling. I can choose routes that don't pass major city intersections but if that is not the case then it is clear disad
