The relationship with Japanese and ghosts are on another level. Here in Europe I know nobody who believes in ghosts, but I heard so many ordinary Japanese people telling ghost stories, from scary to quite amusing ones (how about having a gh

I am working on another SVG editor called Hyvector ( https://hyvector.com ). It is an SVG editor, but I am trying to hide the strange quirks of SVG from the user.

I can highly recommend this video, and in case people do not know, Christian Ready is actually a person, not an organization run by religious fundamentalists.

That is like saying that with pig factory farming (aka intensive pig farming) you can produce far more meat per square foot than with organic pig farming and therefore it must be better.

Well, electricity consumption has fallen quite a bit, because energy intensive industries (like chemical industry) already left the country. Energy prices are still high (not as high as 2022) and they would probably be much higher if those

I think it is. The research paper is probably most useful when printed out, folded and placed under the short leg.

Also it does not work if the floor is even and one leg of the table is shorter than the others, which I suspect is the reason for the "wobble" in many cases. IMO this proof is a good example of science taking itself much too impor

> this just sounds like the nth iteration of successful right opportunism. This is exactly what I am talking about. Can you elaborate what "right" means in this case?

Left/Right is a totally outdated and oversimplified categorization and I just do not get how it is still being used even by moderately intelligent people. It just became obvious in Germany, where the far right party (AfD) lost many vot

Online dating could probably help a lot if it was optimized for actually providing a solution instead of maximizing profit. If these services actually manage to find a matching long-term partner, they will lose two customers.
