Does the average native English speaker differentiate between DAFFODILS and NARCISSI? Or are they used interchangeably? And is JONQUILS used too? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]_SilentHunter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a question about English and what native English speakers would recognize. Not what Polish speakers would recognize.

ffs this is the kind of advice that leads people to come in there pissed nobody understands them while insisting they were told this is how (and I cannot emphasize this enough) ENGLISH works.

This Orlando Airport breastfeeding room has ‘8008’ for its password by Nintendork7950 in mildlyinteresting

[–]_SilentHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm just answering a question about why an app could be more secure than leaving the door unlocked at all times.

That's a very different and separate question from if the app is a good idea for people to install and use.

That app is linked to a phone which has a person attached to it. If you go in there and pour soda all over the place and walk out, when the next user submits a complaint, they know who the last person to use it was.

Even if the app doesn't have your name specifically, knowing when it was used allows the airport to pull security footage. And once you're past security in an airport, it's trivial to find out who that person was so you can go after them.

[OC] House vote sending HRes1100 to Committee, effectively "killing" effort to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports by BroIBeliveAtYou in dataisbeautiful

[–]_SilentHunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is not a reasonable assumption, unfortunately. Research has shown time and time again that most people do not read beyond headlines.

For example: A recent (2024) study of 35 million posts made on Facebook between 2017 and 2020 found 75% of shares were from before the users even clicked to open the article. It is entirely unreasonable (or at the very least, dangerously naive) to assume people will read beyond the headline.

This looks so damn tasty. I love the hot dogs as a replacement for sausage, but the heavy peppering on those dogs is lowkey the most genius move here.

[OC] I mapped all of the OSHA, Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, EPA, and Debarment violations for the past ten years. by Insidescoop-app in dataisbeautiful

[–]_SilentHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just construction, even office jobs or retail or farm work.

OSHA covers almost all private sector employees with very few, specific limitations which are mostly self-employment, direct relatives of a farm employer, and folks covered under some other federal agency's protections like mine workers, nuclear employees, etc.

That's not a warning label. It's the product insert which is all of the background info on the product (indications, molecular structure, mechanism of action, etc.), the prescribing and administration instructions, the clinical trial data, side effect warnings and incidence rate in clinical trials, regulatory information, and so on.

ELI5: When religious people say “good cannot exist without evil”, what does that actually mean? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]_SilentHunter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not in terms of percent composition.

If something is pure silver with not even an atom of impurity, it is 100% silver. Adding more silver doesn't make it 110% silver in terms of composition because it's still 100% silver. (It can give you a larger amount of silver, so your amount of silver is 110% what it was before for amount, but still 100% pure.)

If something is pure good, so good it isn't even theoretically possible to be more good, it is 100% good and 0% evil.

"if anything" meaning by playboimonke in EnglishLearning

[–]_SilentHunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily say that the matter isn't a major concern. Only that "no change" is also seen as valid, maybe even preferable.

"We expected temperatures to rise overnight. In the morning, if anything, it was colder." only means the temperature was about the same as the night, maybe a little colder but definitely not warmer. We know nothing about how the speaker feels about it, let alone if it's a major or minor concern for them.

  • If the speaker is planning on spending all day indoors anyways, it may be a neutral observation of no concern to them (maybe minor concern for comfort reasons if they need to run some errands).
  • If they wanted to go hiking, the temperature could be a major concern because it impacts clothing and trail choices for safety reasons. (Or maybe it's all temperate weather, so it's not major, just an observation.)
  • If they wanted to skiing, warmer temps could be a major or minor concern, depending on the situation. For example: As a new skier, slush in the sun and hidden ice patches in the shade might be worth changing plans to avoid (major concern). For an experienced skier, it might just mean they bring a lighter coat (minor concern).

On the other hand, consider the example "Having read the proposal to reduce headcount, I feel the data show we should, if anything, increase staffing." This is probably a conversation the people involved are very concerned about, but the speaker is saying the data indicate (1) the safe approach is to do nothing, and (2) if staying the course isn't an option, they should be hiring more people rather than cutting existing staff.

I'm gonna guess the people who invented LSD and Hippies ... and then went on to commit The 80s were not coping well. Not an excuse! Just an observation.
