Same. I’ve read that this is because that part of your brain isn’t functioning or something. I have no source. Just “I think I heard this once.”

Yeah I contribute to OSM but apps like OsmAnd are a far cry in features from Google Maps. The paths are very much not optimized. If I tell it to go back to my hometown it takes me about 15 minutes out of the way. And I can’t tell it to go to a certain house because the houses aren’t mapped yet.

Should I help map them? Yes. But for your average user that’s not going to work.

It’s also in the The Cask of Amontillado. Great word, ejaculate.

Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don’t recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn’t use a coupon.

I met a man from France who said that the French spoken in Montréal is “real French.” I was pretty shocked to hear that.

We had an IT person quit this year because we transitioned to fully remote after they closed down the office in December 2020. He couldn’t handle working from home.

It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were “obviously” incorrect. It’s terrible logic because it discounts:

1. God somehow doesn’t know you’re believing in him “just in case” rather than because of actual faith.
2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

I’m learning French so I’m not the best person to ask.

My recollection is that this was something Evan Prodromou (an inventor of ActivityPub) was looking into. There does not seem to be a federated alternative.

I might have been treated differently because of my race (caucasian), I didn’t realize it. I just assumed that the person is an asshole to everyone. I’ve never been called any sort of slur.

Taco Bell most likely.

I think it’s better to take the Nazi’s money and use it for good. YMMV. Whatever you do will be fine, I’m sure.

I would auction it off and then take the proceeds and give it to an organization that is dedicated to fighting fascism.

Sent this to my wife and we talked a bit about how I don’t like lights on.

I realized that even when I’m home alone at night (and not taking care so that she doesn’t wake up), I will use the flashlight/torch on my cell phone rather than turn on lights in the house.

No it is not. You can appeal if the judge was biased before he was assigned the case. After he takes the case if he becomes “biased” because you called him names and defamed him…no. If you could, every defendant would try to piss off the judge so that they could win on appeal because s/he was biased during the trial.

MIT used to have the Billion Prices Project which tried to determine inflation numbers independently of the government, but it no longer exists. My recollection is that it was generally close to the official numbers.

If you think the reported numbers are wrong, you have to give a reason why, backed with evidence. As much as it sucks when rent and food, etc. are more expensive, but those are only part of the number. Inflation encompasses everything and some goods/services are higher than the average number and some are lower. For instance, car insurance has gone up a ton, but apparently fuel oil has gone down (https://econofact.org/inflation-and-prices).

I think what people are (rightly) concerned about is that the necessities of life are higher than the official numbers (because those are an average of lots of things). This makes them think the real numbers are “wrong” based their specific situation rather than the country at large.

We don’t have parliamentary supremacy. What we have is what we have. A rough equivalent is that (assuming you’re a UK citizen) the Lords could still veto bills and the Commons couldn’t force the issue.
