Well I understood that much, but I'm not sure what link it could have with the shape of the x, especially since the English don't do it the same way as India.

I've learned to write x the way this post says (two mirrored c's) but I don't understand what you mean by "independence days". We don't have one in France anyway.

I wrote that because I wanted to avoid a sterile discussion on whether or not my comment was valid because the article was not written by a human. As I said, the actual remark I made is independent on whether this article was written by an

It's a general feeling more than a precise diagnosis, and I guess it could also be a human that has internalised LLM style, or a human-written draft that was reworded by an LLM. But it just really feels like LLM writing.

I had not seen it, but there isn't really an equivalent to a green card or permanent residency in most of Europe. Usually you just get naturalised after having spent 5 or 10 years with a limited-duration but more or less automatically

And Decathlon's bikes are Van Rysel , which does mean "from Lille" (where the bikes are designed) but you wouldn't know it unless you speak Dutch. I don't think they hide anything really, but having a Dutch-sound

I wouldn't recommend getting wrong things into their heads, because you (or someone else) will eventually have to teach them that it was not true, or they will discover it themselves, and that will undermine trust in the other things y

Honestly it's not the first time I read such comments, and... they're not about the British as much as they are about the Americans, I'd say. I think almost all of the expressions in the left-hand side have direct, almost lit

I think one of the problems is people thinking kids are more stupid than they are, and blanket "don't do that" statements without explanations don't really work for kids. If they had told you they were highly poisonous i

It's true. But it's also so much easier to measure weight that I don't understand why some (mostly American) recipes still use volumes for solids. In practice most people I know also measure liquids by weight when cooking, an

Maybe a nitpick but Latamber is not directly north of Karachi and it's about 1000 kilometers away (the closest coast is 950 km but not in Karachi). It's easy to see and to measure on a map.

OVH is one of the cheapest and works satisfactorily for me. I went back to OVH when Gandi stopped being a recommendable company. OVH's API allows full control of an account, but I don't know how that compares to DNSimple.

At 50 km altitude above Venus (where pressure is about 1 bar) you are not really in the "upper atmosphere" as there is still about as much atmosphere above you as on ground level on Earth. So UV radiation is not a problem. The atm

I'm saying that it is common for some people to advocate for jettisoning other parts of their country, especially if they are far away from where they live.

I still don't understand what problem you guys have with Firefox. I really don't, and comments like yours are always very vague and seem to assume that it's obvious. For me Firefox is (slightly) better than is used to be, not
