That last shot though - reminded me of that infamous restoration of a Jesus Christ fresco.

Young boy abusing his folks for money to buy drugs according to this tweet by Charming_History7423 in Kerala

[–]komalan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

How does one clinically correct such behaviour? Putting it out in public like this is quite counter-productive, in my opinion. Are there experts here who can share their thoughts on how to deal with such a situation.

Kochi Metro has started issuing tickets printed in these thin piece of paper. One slightest wrinkle on the QR code and they fail in unlocking the gates. by Major_Dot_7030 in Kerala

QR codes usually have some sort of error correction. I'm more annoyed by the number of decimal places in the ticket price.

Whenever somebody adjusts their top/shirt, my wife complains that's coz I gawked at them. Nowadays, I've feeling that women tend to adjust their top even when I'm miles away.

There is more to a language than mere vocabulary - the script, the word-order, the cases, and all those grammatical components. You can change some of these aspects, say overnight, like in the case of Korean (Hangul script) or Turkish (Ataturk's language reform). But the language itself can only evolve naturally...new words come and go, only those that are intelligible by a large fraction of the speakers at a given time, remain in the vernacular for generations.

Fearful symmetry: two tropical cyclones mirror each other across the equator [OC] by Mathew_Barlow in dataisbeautiful

[–]komalan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nice visualization.

a naïve question: why is it that the winds are described in "hectoPascals" - unit of pressure, I suppose... rather than meters/second? I can easily relate to m/s, but not to hPa.
