IIRC similar polling in the US led to similar results so the claim is not wrong even if the implication was likely that the majority of Americans support Israel.

> What the EU has done is far from perfect but it bans the worst practices. Also, what some people dismissed at the time is that from a European perspective it makes perfect sense to consider any foreign power a potential future threat.

It's a common mistake thanks to people learning in school that the "primary colors" are red, yellow and blue but the explanation is mostly right otherwise: you see cyan because it's a mix of blue and green , i.e. what y

Nature vs nurture is not an either-or. I'm not saying "it" isn't "in the genes". I'm saying it's not just genes. There's a wide range of possible age brackets, body types etc across all genders t

EEST (DST) is UTC+3, EET (without DST) is UTC+2. What Turkey did was abolish the DST transition but stay in permanent DST time or "summer time", which they now call TRT (which is identical to EEST). There was a survey in parts of

Yeah, I guess I used "arrest" in the figurative sense (i.e. stopping and fining), not necessarily for taking someone into police custody. This might be the language barrier, as other replies to your comment also seem to misue the

I'm not trans, so I can't speak for trans people (not that any individual person could speak for an entire demographic group). And to pre-empt the follow-up question "then what's with the pronouns": gender is multi-

We literally already had AI fake porn of Taylor Swift making the rounds a while ago. Prepare for women in public positions to face that kind of bullshit more frequently.

You can make a case for eggs (although I don't like the way they come out this way) but this is a weird health argument for sweet pancakes which usually contain sugar and are drenched in syrup or chocolate spread. Also if you're m

Actually wooden cutting boards are safer than plastic ones because the plastic ones not only result in lots of plastic particles being dislodged while cutting but also the cuts into the board are harder to clean and result in a higher likel

That reason in part is paranoia about "fat" in food which was conveniently used to distract from sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.

Did you read the article? Pedestrians can always cross but they then don't have the right of way and have to yield to traffic. Basically everyone can keep doing what they've been doing all along but police can no longer arrest the

I think you misread that. America/Nuuk doesn't have reverse DST (which is easily solved by just switching DST and non-DST around). It starts DST at a negative offset because the offset is defined as relative to the previous day.

by hnbad 2y ago
The idea behind DST is that it shifts working hours into daylight hours during the darker months. This would theoretically cut down on energy use for lighting during those hours. Of course offices, factories and even schools still use artif

The problem isn't that we "see scarcity", it's that we intentionally introduce scarcity. You can make more money with scarcity. It's a lot harder to make any money without scarcity, even. Instead of Napster letting

As someone who experienced the rise of JavaScript, CSS and modern frontend frameworks, your comment gives me a chuckle because I'm pretty sure using JavaScript for hover effects pre-dates the ability to do that reliably using CSS.

Also this would not work for GitHub, for example, where the hover color is black, which is already "grayscale".

If you need a docking station while away from your desk you can use one through the magic of buying two of them. The Lenovo ones (USB-C/Thunderbolt) are fairly lightweight and don't take up much room in a backpack or travel bag, t

If you're going to connect to a monitor most of the time, the ports don't matter as long as you can connect a docking station. If you're going for Windows that probably means USB-C with Tunderbolt 3, or Surface Connect (the p

That's the only thing you felt the need to elaborate on? Okay, so I guess you're "just asking questions" then.
