Surprised how wrong the shape of Italy is. I guess those wealthy northern Italians never went south.

Do you have an example of this? I mean, there's a pretty good case to be made that the US and the companies it supports and enables are guilty of some serious environmental crimes that majorly contribute to climate change and negativel

Confused about how that works. I believe the part about authoritarians trying to trojan horse bills that erode our rights disguised as unobjectionable bills. We see it all the time with bills that restrict our right to privacy disguised as

The problem with this phrasing is it implies that motivation is an inherent aspect of individuals. Nobody is a do-er. Motivation is impacted by a variety of factors.

It was a contrived example with the tile. I've had to do that calculation in the past with other materials.

People who work in the trades with imperial measures get used to fractions and reasoning about distances in fractions. I have this 2-5/8 tile I need to split in half. Ok, 1-5/16. Contrast that with 2.625 / 2 = 1.3125. I'

I wonder how many years worth of fuel they have to maintain orbit, and what happens when orbit fails. Does it settle into the L point instead of orbiting it? Does it fly off?

Generally, I really very much like the style. I wonder about the skin tones and inclusion. I only see yellow supported. There's an argument to be made that just having 1 unrealistic color could be more inclusive than many skin tones, b

SQL is an absolutely amazing domain specific language, but people keep building ORMs & other SQL abstractors. I get building one as a learning or resume project. I don't see how it's useful in most scenarios. Like, there'

Cool project. Confusing headline. They made models to help research land management strategies that would be potentially helpful for bees.

Trains are awesome. You don't have to sit through traffic jams, and you can read news on your phone instead of paying attention to the road. This isn't popular here, but I have been indoctrinated by pro-car bullshit as a kid and I
