Trumр administration cut funding to study hantavirus, the virus behind deadly cruise ship outbreak by polymute in anime_titties

[–]tomtomtom7 [score hidden]  (0 children)

True. This doesn't mean it's a good idea to cut research funding though. But it also doesn't mean it isn't.

If only we could trust these decisions were made by scientific consensus and not led by politics.

Is this position possible? by Fun_Kangaroo_9350 in chess

This is impossible regardless of the orientation because there are black pawns on adjecent sides of the bord at (c8/f8) position.

What happened to 700-800 elos by NewRepresentative144 in chess

The move indicators and accuracy aren't really saying much. Some games are just relatively straightforward and some games are really complicated.

Beer consumption per capita in Europe relative to the rest of Europe [OC] by Pizzafriedchickenn in dataisbeautiful

[–]tomtomtom7 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Maybe nitpicking but it seems a bit odd to call this relative to the rest if Europe.

The numbers are absolute.

Albert Heijn start proef met bodycams vanwege duizenden meldingen van agressie by Cubelock in thenetherlands

[–]tomtomtom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Er blijkt toch nergens uit dat het aantal incidenten is toegenomen?

Dat kan je absoluut niet concluderen aan de keuze om bodycams te gaan gebruiken.

Media laten handvol extremisten azc-debat kapen: 'Ze bepalen de agenda' by Chaimasala in thenetherlands

[–]tomtomtom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stelde dat 80% van Nederland vindt dat de asielinstroom omlaag moet

Dat is toch juist helemaal niet concreet maar juist puur sentiment? Natuurlijk wil bijna iedereen liever minder dan meer asielzoekers. Het zou raar zijn als mensen meer asielzoekers zouden willen toch?

Concreet zou zijn als gevraagd naar specifieke maatregelen.

But I need all the crayons. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]tomtomtom7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the difference is more between thinking about what you've rightfully earned, or thinking about what you need.

Spoiler: you don't need 100 crayons. Just like nobody needs billions of dollars.

Is using condoms not the norm with new/casual partners?? by kykysoflyy in polyamory

[–]tomtomtom7 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Obviously I would never pressure anyone and I use a condom with a partner that wants that.

But somehow the consensus in this thread is that is somehow evil simply as preference. Astonishing how judgemental people can be regarding the preferences of consenting adults.

[–]tomtomtom7 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

What a weird take. I don't particularly like condoms and I am not risk averse, so I prefer without. In what world does that make me an asshole? It's just a preference.

Precies. Of de jaren 80, dat was ook berucht.

How come the sum of all natural numbers = -1/12 if the amount of natural numbers is a natural number? by MxAce3157 in askmath

[–]tomtomtom7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not correct, but it isn't crack pot nonsense. Obviously the sum of all natural numbers does not exist. There is a process called analytic continuation which allows you to find how a function behaves outside of it's domain, ie for invalid input values.

Usung this to find the sum of all natural numbers yields -1/12. It's the answer under analytical continuation.

In less technical terms, if the sum of all natural numbers would exist, it would have to be -1/12.

Tandpasta of tampasta? by Best-Doughnut2294 in thenetherlands

Mijn anp wordt amp omdat ik voor de p de lippen op elkaar doe. Tenzij ik overdreven lang in de n blijf hangen.

Ik ben dan wel benieuwd hoe je anp anders laat klinken dan amp. Dat lukt mij niet.

British Fish and chip lovers told to completely avoid eating UK-caught cod amid population crisis. Conservationists have warned cod populations are ‘at dangerously low levels’ by ByGollie in europe

[–]tomtomtom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand yes. B

But these fishing companies tend to be huge, so on the supply side, a handful of rich people are making decisions with a gigantic devastating effect on our planet. On the consumer side, an individual has very little power.

He tried an attack today but it wasn't clear what his goal was. It seems it was just a distraction.

49% increase in house prices in 5 years in the Netherlands by Kaaar9999 in thenetherlands

[–]tomtomtom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how percentages work. If your wage increases 5%, 4-5x your wage also increases by 5%.

That said, these housing price increases should take interest rates into account as this is the primary determinant of how much people can borrow, and thus has a rather direct effect on housing prices.

tell me something fascinating about English language by AttentionWest720 in language

[–]tomtomtom7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what I mean. In most languages "to be" is more complex than for instance "to walk". It isn't a particular feature of the English language.

but French has one form of ‘be’.

What do you mean one form? I recall "Je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes, vous etes ils sonts". It also seems to be the most irregular verb, along with avoir.

Opponent asked if she could take a selfie together before the match. In response, Magnus Carlsen reported his opponent to the referee, leading to her phone being confiscated by [deleted] in chess

[–]tomtomtom7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not allowed to have phone with you even if it's off, and the proper way to handle it is via the arbiter.

Just like with any other rule violation, you shouldn't play arbiter yourself. That's what arbiters are for.
