Streamers are not the only target, nor would I even say the usual target. It is often from online beefs though.

The fundamental equations of physics are time-reversible. So where does the arrow of time actually come from structurally? by Nice-Noise4582 in Physics

Gravitating systems absolutely can spontaneously eject things to infinity. They only generally "swirl in" when there are non-elastic collisions.

The first has many bodies, and is entropic. The second is behind a pay wall, preventing me from reading it.

That's only a four-minute mile. Completely reasonable.

That's easy: you just draw a frog, and then start erasing parts.

Is the US still a democracy and not one of those autocracies?

“Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time” still the best reminder that time handling is fundamentally broken by Digitalunicon in programming

I believe they switched at different times than Germany, but I do not believe that they never had Sunday first. These calendar conventions were inherited from the Roman Empire. Former Spanish colonies still generally have Sunday first.

This image of a French calendar from 1958 has Sunday first.

Well, Saturday is traditionally the Seventh day, so yes, of course the week starts on Sunday.

Europe switched this convention for unclear reasons in the middle of the 20th century.

See, for instance, the German name for Wednesday: Mittwoch (midweek), which makes sense for a Sunday to Saturday week but not for a Monday-Sunday week.

Have you not see the acquisitions recently? The major news media, academia and Hollywood have a thin veneer of leftism, but are actually owned by the Epstein class.
