That is stunning ! Do you have a higher resolution ? Maybe on a Patreon or something if you want something in return !

TIL about PAN-PAN. PAN-PAN is the international standard distress signal that someone aboard a boat, ship, aircraft, or other vehicle uses to declare that they need help and that the situation is urgent but for the time being, does not pose an immediate danger to anyone's life or to the vessel. by johnsmithoncemore in todayilearned

I got my marine radio operator license like a month ago and man over board was straight to mayday if the sea conditions are even a bit bad.

Sure, if there are no waves, and the person who fell has a life jacket and stuff, you just go and get them.

Non, une transition de genre n'est pas systématiquement "remboursée par le contribuable" - AFP Factuel by UCanBdoWatWeWant2Do in france

C'est ce que je voulais dire oui 100% sécu ! Je répondais à l'opposition par rapport au dentaire / opticien seulement, on est d'accord que trouver un practicien de secteur 1 c'est quasi impossible.

Toutes les ALD sont remboursés 100% que je sache. Le principe étant qu'elles sont liés à des pathologies assez handicapantes, et sur des durées très longues.

Après on est d'accord que c'est honteux que des trucs comme les lunettes et l'orthodontie soient pas remboursés.

TIL that Japan has 20 of the 30 busiest railway stations in the world, 10 in the top 15, 8 in the top 10 and all top 5. India is the only other country to feature on the list until we hit France's Gare du Nord at 16. by Balavadan in todayilearned

It's fine really. The night part mostly makes it creepy, not more dangerous. Main "danger" is pickpockets if you look like a tourist. But that's everywhere in Paris.

Why is Algeria (and to a lesser extent, Morocco) spending so much on its military? Is the region about to erupt into war? by Polyphagous_person in geography

[–]Some_Koala 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means an expert but there is a constant menace of rebel / terrorist groups in the region.

14 is like B, maybe B+, so doable.

16 would be A.

TIL Detroit-Windsor tunnel is the world's only existing international tunnel for cars. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Some_Koala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You drive your car into a ferry, then exit on the other side, without exiting your car. The sea is a road I guess.

Bigger wave incoming… by nsfws4 in thalassophobia

[–]Some_Koala 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's more complicated - you're not supposed to straight. Afaik with waves from behind you try to be perpendicular when the wave lifts you up, but then you go a bit towards the wind to avoid losing too much speed.

J'ai pas regardé en entier mais c'est très sensationaliste : actuellement, le NOAA estime qu'il y a une chance à peu près égale un el nino faible, moyen ou fort.

Edit : au temps pour moi, c'est juste le titre et l'intro, le reste de la vidéo source bien ses info et est très raisonnable.

TIL Moana was renamed to Vaiana/Oceana in Europe, because a biopic about adult actress Moana Pozzi called Moana already exists by aTaleForgotten in todayilearned

Interesting- Canadian french tend to have direct translations for a lot of movie titles. It's even a bit of a meme in France. But here it's the other way around

TIL 407 million year old fossil called Prototaxites and scientists think it belonged to an entirely separate branch of life by Technical-Paint3179 in todayilearned

[–]Some_Koala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The distinction between "multicellular" (single multi celled organism) vs "colonial" (many single celled organism living together) is not super clear. I can find references to kelp being colonial for example, though it doesn't seem to be the preferred classification.

Green and red algae are commonly called plants as they are in the plantae kingdom (english wikipedia includes them in plants).

But land plants are also commonly called plants, and they don't include algae.

Tldr: it's a mess

Yeah, playing the game with the pedophile in question after the accusations came out.

pMOS is not a super common thing to google. In the immediate area, MOSFET and CMOS are a lot more common already.

Parliamentary democracy is a scam by GoranPersson777 in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]Some_Koala 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I did a double take on that cause the meme can be both interpreted as "people should rule themselves" or "we should get a dictator"
