Even within Europe, there was significant scientific progress during said dark ages. It’s extremely obvious by just looking at a 9th century building to those from the 14th century (especially churches). The latter require profund knowledge of mathematics/civil engineering. We went from tiny windows in 2m thick brick walls to vast, airy Gothic cathedrals (although those did take a couple of centuries to actually finish).

Although to be fair, that knowledge did largely come to Europe from the scholars of the Arabic world.

When a poor kid gets flattened by an SUV, the only reasonable response is to sigh, feel sad for a moment, and then move on.

Not true. You could also call into question why the kid was outside in the vicinity of motor vehicles! Surely the parents can be blamed as well.

“Inconceivable!”

“Mi scusi!”

I quite like the flag of Tanzania

And also Nauru, which is really helpful of you want to remember which hemisphere Nauru is (just barely) located on

I disagree. Some of them are actually bad.

AH and PH do form a right angle, that’s postulated in the problem. But P is only the projection of H onto the plane if PH is indeed parallel to n. Which is not necessary.

Imagine a nail patrols hammered into a piece of wood at an angle. The wood surface is the plane, the entry point is H and the head of the nail is P. A is anywhere on the line perpendicular to the nail on the board.

If you shine a light from above, you can see P’, the projection of P as the end of the shadow cast by thaw nail. Unless the nail is straight, P’ != H.

Wait, the companies holding all the rights have nicely asked Crunchyroll to pay more for overseas distribution?

My brothers in Anime Jesus, you are actively selling those rights. Just increase the price.

I stuck with it so far, although I find it quite mid. Would never binge it, but one episode a week is fine.

I watch it mostly because I wanted Mushoku Tensei with a less terrible main character (the ecchi child doesn’t really do it for me).

Putting some numbers (for the US) here, from a recent Forbes article

Joining the top 1% requires a net worth of $11.6 million to $13.7 million

The code can only be written in VB.Net.

Off the top of my head, from someone not even in the US, there were the student loan forgiveness programs, or the insulin price limit.

Both are arguably remedies for symptoms, and the right is far more efficient in undoing anything good. But pretending the liberals didn’t do anything in the past 10 years is disingenuous.

The MC clearly has an unhealthy relationship with his parasyte, seeing how it ate his arm and such.

It’s not a surprise, really. The proposal was sponsored by the Russian Federation and includes several talking point that they have since actively used to justify their fucking invasion of Ukraine (I.e. Nazis working to disrupt democracies cross-border).

You would be correct: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1654458?ln=en&v=pdf

At the [48th] meeting, the representative of the Russian Federation made a statement.

Also at the same meeting, statements were made by the representatives of Kyrgyzstan (on behalf of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, composed of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), Belarus, the Russian Federation and South Africa.

They’re better make it so the context menu doesn’t take 2s to fully load while moving the bottom rows around first.

Bitch, every valid action for a file is in the diving registry, sorted by file type. Why do you need to think about this?

My reaction at 1:05

Looks pretty cool. We need more local productions from around the world, so much untapped/underutilized lore and mythos.

In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I’m a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?

Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of “owner” is used. I’m the “Besitzer” of my apartment (I possess it), but not the “Eigentümer” (I cannot sell it).

English needs a major spelling reform, but there’s no way to actually implement one. In order to match spelling to pronunciation, you would be to have a well-defined “high English” pronunciation.

But any semblance of uniform pronunciation doesn’t even exist within the UK (or even just England), much less across the entire English-speaking world, including places like Canada, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, New Zealand, India, and many, many more countries.

And even if you somehow manage to create something (this is basically how “high German” was created, after all), good luck getting all the different governments to adopt the reformed spelling.
