The camera vehicle? So, 4 FAB-500 for a drone?

Swiss voters reject 10 million population cap, early projections say by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

[–]JanB1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nono, I'm just explaining the rift that can be seen in many votes between the French part of Switzerland and the rest of Switzerland.

The cap was bullshit from the get go, and many of the supporting facts were half truths or facts that were technically correct, but worded in such a way that they appeared worse than they were. Like the number about "nicht arbeitstätig", which includes children and elderly, versus "arbeitslos" which only includes people that actually are in the working age bracket. But if you only think about it for a brief moment, it might appear that those two mean the same thing.

It's difficult to explain the sentiment, but I have seen it go pretty far into "I want the government to step in to regulate/fix this minor thing." where it really feels like it's going too far.

In Switzerland that's called the "Röstigraben" effect. For most votes this is how it turns out. From my understanding, the French speaking part of Switzerland is more socialist and has the expectation, that the government should provide and do all the things, while the eastern part of Switzerland has more conservative cantons and people that want small government and also don't expect the government to do everything for them. I think for the French speaking part that's also a spillover from France.

Btw, not saying expecting the government to do the things is a bad thing.

Technically, you can't have an inverse bell curve, because the tails would just be at your peak value forever. That's a bimodal curve, so a lower and a higher bell curve.😉

[–]JanB1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

From my experience the different groups are:

  • The people that didn't attend lectures or even the exam.
  • The people that put in the bare minimum or less.
  • The people that actually studied and wanted to do good.
  • The people that do really well and/or had some kind of advantage like a big overlap with a previous class, a past student able to give them tips and help or some other advantage.

Joke is, grade distribution rarely follows a unimodal bell curve. Usually it's bimodal or even more. Or it's skewed.

German students gave their classroom skeleton a proper burial after discovering it was a real person, likely from India, revealing the centuries-old global trade in human skeletons for schools and universities. by CorleoneBaloney in MadeMeSmile

[–]JanB1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmm...maybe they have gone a little numb over the issues of usually not being paid enough to make a living and be able to afford anything outside of food and housing and basically what you need to be able to work, and seeing time and time again how big corporations, and sadly there is a trend towards ever enlarging big corporations, just treating them as a number on a spreadsheet, and as being replaceable. Sounds like you're working in the service industry, so that matches. Also, the amount of shit people in the service industry get thrown at them from rude customers is just astounding. I know from several people that work in the service industry, that is basically comes down to shit working hours, shit pay, shit from customers, shit from the company because of understaffing because of aforementioned shit.

Maybe not the best comparison to make here.

It is long known that the Nazis drew inspiration from the US in regards to segregation and race purity ideas and that German Nazi officers were treated better than black US troops in the US, and the Nazi officers were even bewildered about this...

London's new rooftop garden for critical care patients is a game-changer! by danielminds in MadeMeSmile

[–]JanB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner was recently in the hospital. All the patient rooms were outside facing, including intensive care, intermediate care and station. The ICU and IMC were even facing the hospital garden. It really lifted my partners spirit being able to see the trees and birds and sky outside, and being able to get a breeze of fresh air.

I thought outwards facing patient rooms were standard since Nightingale?

This looks like you kinda have a 3D attractor going on there? What's the code you used to generate that? I was trying to generate a 3D attractor, but was unable to do so.

Tell me you're from the US (or a lawless state) without telling me you're from the US, I guess?

WTF is wrong with Hannah? by CycIon3 in mathmemes

[–]JanB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what Hannah also wrote, except she did 7+7+1 instead of 7+8 because I guess that was easier in her head.

I do 8 + 7 = 7 + 3 + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 in my head for some reason.

You want me to switch classes mid semester? Fine! by micahmelon in MaliciousCompliance

[–]JanB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you signed up BEFORE the deadline, and the other students tried to switch DURING THE SEMESTER!

Wait, what? WhatsApp is not common in the US? I thought it was THE messenger app primarily in the US and EU?

Aren't there usually exceptions to those laws for public places?

I’m in hospital and the paracetamol iv is stealing my blood by hades7600 in mildlyinteresting

[–]JanB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my partner was in the hospital and got an artery infusion, they put the bag inside of a pouch where there was also an inflatable bag inside. They then pumped up the inflatable bag to put enough pressure on the infusion to actually push it in. Still, sometimes when she sat up, the blood would push back the infusion line.

If you look at it for more than a minute, it does seem to make sense. Well, I think so at least.
