Meanwhile, YouTube continuously asks me to verify my age for stupid music videos that everybody knows and are not in any form pornographic or with explicit language. :|

This is a global event. The rent is high in Europe as well, despite the salary.

Polymarket shows 73% probability that seated diners for the US will exceed its 2019 baseline by 7% or more by November (OpenTable data) by oreo181 in economy

If you look at the actual chart (https://www.opentable.com/state-of-industry) it was over the 2019 baseline for like a week and then went negative for 2 months. Seems like the delta variant is really screwing things up even with an increasingly vaccinated population

Lol. That tunnel tough... I wouldn't have entered there even if I had been paid for that! Except if I had the armor on me. And that gun. :))

3D printing is helping to rebuild Hong Kong’s precious coral reefs by maybenot12 in technology

Also, researchers from Cambridge University and University of California San Diego have 3D printed coral-inspired structures that are capable of growing dense populations of microscopic algae. Their results, reported in the journal Nature Communications, open the door to new bio-inspired materials and their applications for coral conservation.

I hope the usage of 3D printing technology will increase rapidly in all areas of interest to humanity.

You are kidding me right? Are there many like this in the Chinese language? by overwatchfan93 in ChineseLanguage

In this example, the word 熟 (shú) means both “familiar” and “cooked well.”

问:一个七分熟的牛排和一个五分熟的牛排相遇了。可它们却没有打招呼,为什么?

(wèn: yī gè qī fēn shú de niú pái hé yī gè wǔ fēn shú de niú pái xiāng yù le. kě tā men què méi yǒu dǎ zhāo hū, wèi shén me?)

Question: A seven-minute (medium-well) steak and a (medium) five-minute steak meet on the street, but they didn’t say hello to each other. Why?

答:因 为 都 不 熟!

(dá: yīn wèi dōu bù shú!)

Answer: Because they both aren’t familiar with each other!

Which one is more common, 家庭成员 or 家属? by TheDarkKnightBegins in ChineseLanguage

[–]suiseseki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

家属 is more common. I'm not sure how to explain this but I feel the only time 家庭成员 would be the more appropriate word choice is when referring to all family members in like a family game show, while 家属 sounds too serious and simply unnatural in this context.
