The sun doesn’t produce a lot of energy because it is hot. The sun produces energy because it is big. All functional experimental fusion reactors operate at much higher temperatures than the sun.
The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?...
The people who say they need 3 cups of black coffee to start their day are just addicts with a high tolerance that experience mild withdrawal symptoms each morning....
Context: I’m missing a cutting board. So I wrote in our telegram family group: “Wo ist eigentlich unser zweites großes Schneidebrett hin?” (literally: “Where is actually our second big cuttingboard thither?”)....
English is a highly indirect language when it comes to these sorts of statements. “Have you seen the cutting board?” Would indicate that it’s not where it should be. “Where is the cutting board” would be too much of a personal accusation. It’s the type of thing you would say to a child that had hidden it. “Where do you keep the cutting board” would be how you ask when you honestly don’t know, like if you’re helping a friend prepare dinner.
The ruling is significant not only for its stark repudiation of Trump’s novel immunity claims but also because it breathes life back into a landmark prosecution that had been effectively frozen for weeks as the court considered the appeal....
Republican Sen. James Lankford, who spent months negotiating the border provisions the GOP demanded, said he may vote against his own bill this week....
The translation is precise, but for some reason it doesn’t carry the same degree of humor. I think it may have to do with the way Spanish handles the indefinite article “a cat.”
Edit: ok, that might be part of it, but there’s also the way he tells her that she now has a cat. The word-for-word translation differs slightly in meaning from the figurative translation. There’s something that’s lost, maybe a degree of finality?
I had this idea, years back, to start a subreddit for missed photos, IMAP instead of ITAP—“I missed a picture.” I was going to make it a paragraph description, but this would be just as good.
Edit: guys, see how this is all in the past tense? I’m not going to be doing it. I don’t want to be a mod.
This album has phenomenal songwriting. It’s got a kind of laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics....
I had to look it up, but In 2021 the top 10% were earning about $120K/year.
Also, the guardian misrepresented the study in their title. The study is about “lifestyle emissions” The top 10% don’t produce 50% of all global emissions.
The bill prevents people with more than $1mil income from receiving unemployment. Far more reasonable considering everything I see says that you need a million or two to retire comfortably these days.
The skyrocketing cost of insurance premiums in Florida is leading residents to drop their insurance, consider selling their home, and even move out of the state, according to recent reports....
It’s interesting to me that insurance companies are becoming the chief drivers of the preparation for climate change: “Wanna build a house in the woods? On a sandbar? GTFO. Use your own money.”
I don’t know about your wife, but my mom started doing this 30 years ago, as she was uncovering childhood trauma. It eventually went away, after a lot of therapy. Wasn’t a fun time.
I hope in your case it’s a very different scenario.
They obviously didn’t all come here. I wonder how many we’re talking about. Maybe they just sort of dispersed into the various other social media sites?
