As far as I know, the rules for pronouncing words in French are much more logical and regular than in English. The exceptions to the rules tend to be words borrowed from English. Can you give an example of two French words that use contradi

Having already seen a few DALL-E generated images, there seemed to features I could pick up on that would allow me to identify them such as proportions, composition or unnecessary random detail. For example, in one image, there was a trail

Do these variations only appear on the website version of YouTube? I use an ad-blocker so I haven't noticed this pattern exactly. However, one pattern I've noticed using the mobile app is that in order to disrupt the automatic hab

You still have to make the leap that this guy who crashed his plane has the same level of awareness of the danger of heavy machinery as "most people" as the original commenter claims. With this being such an outlying incident that

Dark matter interacts with light in the same way as a black hole does. They both have mass and therefore both bend space (and light passing through that space) around them. It's already known that what we call dark matter in some conte

Good point about the relative speed of the earth. That could probably explain why the other objects turn out to be more ordinary. As for the idea that this 2014 object originated in our solar system: I don't think that's possible.

The paper estimates objects of these size should hit Earth at least once per decade. The database goes back to 1988 so there might even be one or two others in there waiting to be detected.

Interestingly, the database contains two other objects detected with impact speeds of more than 40km/s including one from 2015-07-04 which an even greater speed than this interstellar asteroid. I wonder why these are not also considere

OP here. The reason I believe it is more interesting than fan-fiction is that it answers the question of "how could nuclear weapons be used in this conflict?". Since the day it started there have been various escalations [1][2][3]

I must be using the tool wrong because literally everywhere in the US is my Goldilocks zone which I'm certain is not the case. I set it to give me places where the minimum winter temperature is -5°C (23F) and max summer temperature is

My interpretation is that Russia has changed even if Putin withdraws tomorrow and tries to revert things back to where they were a few months ago. The response from the West has been severe enough that it will take years for business relati

Thank you for clarifying. The confusion is because your comment could easily be interpreted as a criticism of lazy reporting (everything negative that occurs must be because of brexit) rather than actual criticism due to a real issue beyond

This could be read as an either pro or anti-brexit comment but the fact that it is ambiguous makes it kind of pointless.
