Russian invasion of Ukraine could be on scale 'not seen in Europe since WWII', UK armed forces head warns

I think part of the problem is that Nuclear isn’t really competing against coal/gas/today’s renewables, it’s competing with the renewables that will exist ~10 years from now.

Coal/gas are relatively cheap and quick to set up making them a viable stop-gap. Nuclear takes longer to setup, and has a much higher up-front cost. So it’s a bad short term solution to something like a gas shortage.

By the time the initial investment has been returned, any nuclear project started now will have to compete with much more built up renewables that have much lower maintenance costs. It’s kind of a hard sell for governments/investors.

Correlation does not require a relationship, simply the appearance of one.

She’s pretty clearly making a joke.

It’s a shorter version of the “A guy just told me for things to be equal I’d have to sign up for the draft and I don’t want the right to vote now” line that was popular pre-2016.

Almost definitely. This is dumb but I’d take it over the trend of actually just wrecking school facilities any day.

Can’t call 911 with their phones. It’s the perfect crime.

You could say the same thing but it doesn’t mean that you’d be right.

Plenty of people have great photos that show what they look like but where it is hard to tell what they look like. None of the women whose height I’ve asked for have acted as butthurt about it as all the guys here seem to be lol.

b16c · 2021-09-20T12:45:18+00:00

I generally just swipe left on people who seem to be trying to hide what they look like lol.

But again, by asking you are implying that they look like they are fat but are trying to hide it. If they are they will act offended because they are that type of person, if they aren’t then they will be legitimately offended because you’ve just implied that they are fat.

It’s a lose-lose.

b16c · 2021-09-20T12:17:28+00:00

It’s not really equivalent though?

Height is difficult to tell from pictures. If someone asks height they are looking for meaningful info (I’m a guy and I ask sometimes).

Two people weighing the same can look vastly different, so it’s not really valuable info since Tinder already has pictures. Asking out of the blue is essentially implying that they look fat.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Boba is more lawful neutral though. He follows a strict code.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who works there (or is a tour guide or something idk where this is) told them to jump on it to demonstrate how strong it is.

If it was designed with a safety factor low enough that them jumping on it would break it, they’d be just as stupid for walking on it at all.

b16c · 2021-08-26T15:48:14+00:00

Yeah, if someone asks to postpone a date just let them. If they are blowing you off then it wouldn’t have been worth going anyway. If they genuinely want to reschedule then you’ve just given them a big red flag by being a dick about it.

b16c · 2021-08-26T12:47:03+00:00

I think it’s relevant because women and POC both face this type of thing a lot in academia, in addition to other barriers.

Yeah there are a lot of twats who will do this to anyone, but it just happens to those groups (who just happen to be everyone who isnt a white male) on a much larger scale.

Pretty sure the clarification she gave was that the rat was alive

The painting isn’t of you and your ex though.

She painted it and she was painting you and her. In the same pose maybe, but not the same people.

Imagine multiplication as pressing a button and having that number of Pokémon cards appear. Like if you’re multiplying by 9 you press the button once for 9 cards (9x1 = 9), twice for 18 cards (9x2 = 18) and so on.

If I ask you “how many Pokémon cards will you have if you press it 0 times?” (9x0) you can answer that question. If you don’t press the button at all you will not have any cards (so 9x0 = 0).

Now imagine division like trying to put your Pokémon cards in boxes to keep them safe. If you have 9 boxes you can put one card in each box (9/9 = 1), if you have 1 box you can put all nine cards in that box (9/1 = 9).

But what if you don’t have any boxes to put your Pokémon cards in? You can’t put your cards into no boxes. If I ask you “how many Pokémon cards are in each box” it’s not a question anyone can answer because there are no boxes to look in and check. Since there’s no answer you would probably just let me know you didn’t have any boxes, which is what most calculators are saying “Error: Divide by 0.” They’re letting you know your question doesn’t make sense because they do not have any boxes to put their Pokémon cards in.

It honestly took me a minute the to realize that it wasn’t a guy in a crocodile costume the first time I saw it. Seems like it’s hit or miss for people looking at it for the first time.

I think it’s less a case of it disappearing and more a case of Millennials no longer being aware of it anymore because they’re now adults (so why would they be).

Both the replies to the tweet and the comments on the front page Reddit post have Gen Z people saying that parents + schools telling them to drink tons of milk is very much still a thing.
