It’s percentage of the entire population, if you organized everyone from lowest to highest IQ, what percentage of the entire population would you need to include for them to be in the top. It’s a little clearer when a point of interest is near the top. E.G. “person is in the top 1% of people in terms of wealth.”
A less kind way to say it is ‘91% of people have a higher IQ than this person’.
I imagine if my occupation includes carrying a gun, interacting with citizens, and a historically high rate of extrajudicial deaths amongst people I am supposed to be protecting. A publicly accessible camera would be beneficial to easing the minds of those I interact with and providing evidence for any actual instances where I felt my life was threatened.
They are probably referring to this:
The democratic convention hasn’t happened, Biden was only ever just the presumed candidate. Trump is the oldest U.S. presidential candidate there has ever been.
I imagine that he is equating the spectrum back to the rainbow, where red is the ‘top’ of the visible arch when a single rainbow is seen from the ground.
Of course the outer ring from a double rainbow flips the order of the colours, but that’s probably being needlessly pedantic.
You can also choose not to.
The way it’s set up it sure looks like Saskatchewan is still technically collecting the tax and just paying the amount right back from their own budget. And Saskatchewan citizens are still getting the carbon payouts from Ottawa.
Saskatchewan citizens will still have to pay for Moe’s stupidity, but the deficit will be in the Saskatchewan budget, not an individual extra tax bill.
Mainly means that Moe will just continue to destroy Education and Healthcare, which was his main goal anyway.
It’s not that hard to fold sheet metal into three sides. I’m not sure why these are notable in any way at this point.
Linnaean taxonomy classifies apes and monkeys as two closely related groups. This is the classification system most people are taught in grade school.
Cladistics is a style of classification that seeks to organize species and groups of species from when they branched off of other groups of species. In this style, everything is defined by novel features, but they are still members of the more ancient clade. Birds for instance, would be a novel clade emerging from Dinosaurs, and thus all birds are also dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds.
Because there are two groups of monkeys with unique characteristics (new world and old world), and apes have unique adaptations not found in either group, we have no way of cladistically defining a monkey in a way that meaningfully does not also include apes.
As a side note, this is where the phrase “there is no such thing as a fish” comes from. ‘Fish’ in the Linnaean sense are a huge and diverse category. Two random members of the fish class would likely be far, far more distantly related than a random mammal and a random reptile.
Probably until either the nurses stop panicking in my local area or the immunocompromised people in my life die of a preventable illness.
The article only mentions the time once other than the headline and makes no mention if this is typical.
The article does mention that typically people meeting their probation officer are not allowed to have a lawyer present, but Trump was allowed to include his.
It looks like the article is mainly talking about weather this is special treatment or not.
What’s really weird is that the sun seems to be setting in the same place that the sun and moon are rising. Clearly their entire room is rotating as they sleep. (Along with their little miniature city skyline on their windowsill.)

Are some options for people who don’t want clothing that is skintight and revealing.
I’ve very occasionally seen brands like this at box stores. But the vast majority of time if you want something that isn’t skin tight you have to get shorts designed for men and some sort of sports top with a shirt.
Yes. Baggy clothing isn’t optimal for swimming, and trunks will tend to stick awkwardly anyway, but a lot of guys would feel uncomfortable if speedoes were the only option. I know I would.
It’s a double standard plain and simple.
The blue and yellow maps are flipped because they are on opposite sides.
The green parts are where opposite sides line up (through the center).
The “two” Antarcticas aren’t on opposite sides of the same globe, the Antarctica (blue) lines up with the opposite (yellow) northern Greenland (overlap in green). Just like the blue Greenland mainly overlaps the yellow Antarctica showing green.
Just find a spot on the blue map, and then look at the yellow map to see what’s on the opposite side (it looks reversed since you are seeing that other map from below.)
Maybe people are setting it up at home using a numberpad? In that case it would be just running a finger down the left side.
I don’t recall the books well enough to be sure, but knowing Pratchett, there is almost certainly a direct reference to that quote in there.
*Artificial Hormones have been banned.
The natural hormones in milk still exist. The post looks mainly to be a response to the pearl-clutching that soy-milk contains a similar low-level of (plant specific) hormones.
Even without going full ‘free housing for everyone’ utopia, it would be nice if the rent students currently pay to landlords was recoverable when the space is no longer needed. The same way people paying mortgages can just sell their house even before it is fully paid off. We wouldn’t need to drastically reshape society in order to allow people to invest in their own futures rather than shovelling most of what they have into a landlord’s pocket.
Well the first step is to reduce or at least drastically eliminate the amount of CO2 that is being released in the first place. Removal of carbon from the air is necessarily going to have to be a down the road plan. It literally cannot happen to any scale if we are still relying on fossil fuels in the first place.
Which of these candidates do you think will be more willing to have their minds changed with protests and petitions?
Nothing is going to be easy or perfect, but we can at least choose the most likely candidate that is slightly more aligned with our desired outcome and then fight for what is needed.
